EDGE Suggests Valve start selling advantages in TF2 - Games

Is this in any shape or form related to the edge gamers organisation? ( =(eGO)= ) (you know, those ego guys that ban you if you say "fuck", spam their servers with "the server isn't full, invite your friends!" style messages if the server has one open slot, and considering themselves better than everyone else)

[quote] "If selling an advantage ruins the game, you haven't done the balancing right"[/quote] If you did the balancing correctly you wouldnt need to pay for game advantages.

"Hey big corporation, I make browser games where people have to pay to [I]really [/I] play, I can see you could use some pointers from my own experience. Now lets see here, hmm.. You should make the Medic and the Engineer be paid to unlock as they're really only support classes and the only people would play them would pay also. You should also buff the scout's HP by 75 as they can't survive much as the other classes. You should jack up the pricing on all Mann Co. Stores at least 25%, the playerbase won't mind it. You can also sell custom maps for 2$ each, with the real popular one's going up to 5$. If people are whining that paying for advantages are unfair, then they shouldn't play, as obviously paying for advantages with no drawbacks makes a perfect game. Trust me guys, I make browser online games!!"

What a douche.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32165997][img]http://i.imgur.com/kNzCl.jpg[/img] Also from Bigpoint Pay close attention to the image and the quote.[/QUOTE] Totally does not look like farmville :v:

His point was immediately invalid when he said "the game is already balanced as such" there are still far too many useless unlocks and straight-upgrade unlocks.

[QUOTE=psyke;32165160]shame they don't have a unique Magazine hat for TF2 [PCGAMER FUCKYEAH][/QUOTE] It's a magazine for developers and such, not 12 y/o hat collectors.

I'm just speechless, how does he think that these are valid ideas for TF2? Since pay to win totally means balanced.

[QUOTE=marcus5;32166279]Totally does not look like farmville :v:[/QUOTE] Interestingly they've been released on the same year, but Farmville is older by a few months.

[QUOTE=DoctorSalt;32157666]On the other hand, Rockey Jumpah + Mantreads is a pretty funny combo.[/QUOTE]Sticky Jumper + Caber is fun too

Team Fortress 2 is not appealing to anyone who expects a Team Fortress game out of it, if they are let known of the masses of non-TF stuff in it.

And why's everyone hating on EDGE? They're usually a pretty good publication that I always look forward to picking up if I'm in a country that sells copies.

[QUOTE=Scarabix;32164167][IMG]http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6792/lulzd.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That game was good until they started selling advantages. They had a good game there, then they fucked it up.

That article was probably funniest thing I've read in a long time. Go to hell, Philip, and take your cheap suit with you.

[QUOTE=Cructo;32166473]Valve could probably make a farm game better than Bigpoint's.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oOPtI.jpg[/IMG]

All the weapons are sidegrades, not upgrades. So I don't see the problem with selling weapons in TF2.

[QUOTE=ART1E117;32167065]Sticky Jumper + Caber is fun too[/QUOTE] Technically, it's not impossible to have a Rocket or Sticky jumper without using the Mann Co store. I have a Rocket Jumper that wasn't store bought. So really, there's no non-promo weapons in TF2 you have to pay for

[QUOTE=Cructo;32167865]It's balanced though, and doesn't provide an advantage in gameplay, as it can be easily countered.[/QUOTE] My point was it's a straight upgrade from the vanilla weapon. Same story with The Solemn Vow.
