This game looks so fun. I hope I can get into the beta soon to play it! (if you have an extra key send it my way ;D ) The combat looks excellent in this game, hopefully the rest of the game will be just as good. One thing I have noticed when games try to cross genres is that one of the genres in the game is far better than the rest  Like in Borderlands, the shooting was much better than the RPG aspects. |

To be fair, to keep competitive balance playable, I think the shooting HAS to be better than the RPG elements in this kind of game. Especially since Firefall seems to be being marketed as a skill based shooter. It becomes a fairly difficult argument to make if by upgrading eq/leveling you could get powerful enough that it becomes unrealistic for people who havn't played for as long to overcome it via shooter skill.
But hey, maybe Red5 will show us that I'm wrong and that in fact we can have our cake and eat it too :D |

Oh I definitely agree for competitive aspects of the game, but I think for the story based pieces of the game, they need to put more work into content. Something to where you want to level up and unlock things, where as with borderlands it didn't really matter. They had very basic skills that were just upgrades to your power for the most part. PvP should always have a separate system that puts everybody on an even playing field, but when you're doing raids and that stuff, I want to be able to have a badass character with tons of cool weapons and items and abilities |

Trailer is pretty sick It almost looks like an MMO version of Borderlands and with jet packs.
I would love to try it out if someone has a spare key. |

| The game was fun, but one of the quests bugged out on me and I couldn't complete it or find a way to restart it even though I had all of the items necessary for completion. |

Stop calling it a microtransaction, you silly company. If your microtransactions directly affects game play, it's a required payment akin to the pricetag on buying a game if you want to play it at any sort of competitive level, and as thus should be listed as sales price.

No it isn't. In general, it's only a required payment if you want to be competitive or special at the game. The majority of people out there are casual players. Dead Space sells Rivet Guns and other gameplay-affecting weapons off the side, but no one says that would be a required payment. Of course, Dead Space is single player, but the same principle applies for Navyfield (a multiplayer game) and...well, almost any other F2P-multiplayer game. That said, they said that the microtransaction stuff would only be cosmetic and not impact gameplay.
The reason you play a competitive game is to compete. If you can buy the best weapons that other people can't even get with months of hard work, it ruins the fun aspect. There was a f2p game called exteel a while ago. Had the microtransaction model, and the gear you could buy was all fine and dandy, but the best gear could only be bought with NC coins, and lower level players (most games were vs players in your level range) who spent 50 dollars on coin items would tear through legit players no matter how well you could play. Coiners ruined the game and I believe was a reason the game went under due to lack of popularity. Same thing with Genesis A.D., another NCSoft flop f2p/microtransaction model. |

You quoted a rather old post but I'd just like to say that Red 5 is very against pay to win models. They will never sell you a weapon for money, it's all cosmetics and convenience. |
