Fully back on the hype train, then.

.

 

[Meader]

Man, 2015 is gonna be great.

 

[Chezzymann]

Very good news.

 

[Hollycat]

Dancing in the streets.

 

[AstroNut325]

Back on the hype train now!

 

[Mass Effect]

Hope re-established.

 

[3rdamention]

Fully back on the hype train, then.

...

 

[Arion]

Western Square Enix got their head on straight.

 

[mreddie]

 

[backflip10019]

Fucking phew.

 

[Burnburn]

Yes, yes, yes, yeeeeeeesss!

I hate the guy who leaked the screenshots, a proper reveal would've made me so happy, possibly making my day. But now, even though I'm happy that there won't be microtransactions, I can't feel as happy as I could have with a proper reveal. Oh well

 

[PinkCrayon]

Glad to hear it.

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

The backlash was real

 

[Chabbles]

Good to know. interest regained.

 

[Adnor]

Yessssssssssssssss

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

PRAISE SCORPIO.

Hype systems are back online.

 

[scoobidoo112]

I think I'm becoming slightly optimistic about this game again. Thank the universe!

 

[neojubei]

Good news I cannot wait for this game now

 

[Nokterian]

So full game no bullshit microshit stuff?

Excellent..excellent want to flex my PC because JC2 is still a blast to play.

 

[Damian.]

Good. The visuals in the "leaked" screenshots looked horrible.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I don't really believe that there will be absolutely no microtransactions. After all he did say it was the future of gaming at one point...

 

[Raptor]

Im in!!

 

[ironcreed]

Bravo. This game will be as good as bought then.

 

[DNAbro]

I'm in. I want to get people with the wire thing.

 

[xXBaconXx]

Exactly this.

You know what's sad?
That this is news-worthy these days ;_;

It's only news worthy becuase there were rumors that the game would be F2P. If the leak hadn't happend they wouldn't even have mentioned this.

Video games aren't as fucked as you want them to seem.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Oh, would you look at that, a Hype Train ticket suddenly materialized in my hand.

 

[V_Ben]

Oh man, awesome. Good to see.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Good, that was the main worry of course. Will give this a hard look. Just be as good as JC3 and we are set!

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Ehh. Not faling for it. Ill see when the game launches.

 

[PAULINK]

no more outrage over nothing?

 

[XMasterNemesisX]

best news this week. day one buy!

 

[JayEH]

(Claps).

 

[Danlord]

no more outrage over nothing?

It wasn't over nothing when leaked screenshots showed mass amounts of micro-transactions and the fact it was even confirmed to exist in that state by the Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Avalanche Studios.

 

[Nokterian]

Saw in the video that with one picture he was using a tank to blast off and another was also on there..looks like multiplayer is in now?

 

[toddhunter]

I don't really believe that there will be absolutely no microtransactions. After all he did say it was the future of gaming at one point...

I pretty much took this to mean all that stuff is still in, you just have to exit the game first.

Because really, the only difference is how you buy it, the content can be identical.

 

[SPAW]

great to hear! ¨

To the developers: lykke til!

 

[sn00zer]

IM back on board...thank god they dispelled that as openly as possible

 

[_woLf]

I'm so glad to hear this! Hype restored.

 

[sfedai0]

Hold the train! I need to get back on!

 

[slavesnyder]

All those pretty business models. Pushed besides by stupid consumers.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Hype levels rising.

 

[Zoned]

2015 Best year of gaming of all time. Fuck yes bitches!

 

[Nirolak]

Square Enix confirmed it was full price too: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/11/11/is-just-cause-3-free-to-play.aspx

Seems they canned all the alternate business model attempts and are just doing a regular game that has a bunch of DLC like your standard game these days.

 

[Damerman]

yay for DLC... Yay for After market content. yay for splitting my game into mini, non standardized, in-discretionary pieces where the Game press don't do any coverage.

what the fuck. The standard of this industry is just a straight up F...and not the respectable kind of F, but the F we see in the American school system. its in the fucking shitter... i quit games. pardon my hysteria.

 

[SerTapTap]

Yes, yes, yes, yeeeeeeesss!

I hate the guy who leaked the screenshots, a proper reveal would've made me so happy, possibly making my day. But now, even though I'm happy that there won't be microtransactions, I can't feel as happy as I could have with a proper reveal. Oh well

If it discourages other big studios from "going through exploratory phases" involving nasty business practices it was well worth it.

IM back on board...thank god they dispelled that as openly as possible

Surprised and very, very glad they decided to call that out so soon and so apparently definitely. Shouldn't have to wait for the post-release embargo to find out about microtransaction models like AC Unity

 

[Zeyphersan]

2015 year of the forever

 

[Orayn]

yay for DLC... Yay for After market content.

what the fuck.

Not everyone has a problem with DLC.

 

[Sax Russel]

Cautiously optimistic then!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

yay for DLC... Yay for After market content.

what the fuck.

supporting a game post-launch with free or paid-for content can be good. sure, it can be bad too.

but microtransactions in a $60 retail release are pretty much always going to be bad.

 

[SerTapTap]

2015 year of the forever

It's shaping up to beat the hell out of the largely awful year that 2014 was, AAA wise anyway.
