can't really call it free-2-play if you have to pay for XBL to play it.

Rusty5153947d ago

I think the same could be said for free games on PS Plus. Hypocrites...

MysticStrummer3947d ago

Which of the PS+ games are labeled "Free to Play"?

So far, the "Free to Play" games announced for PS4 are in fact completely free.

Rusty5153947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

@mysticstrummer: Im not talking about f2p games. Im talking about Sony's "Free" games that you get if you PAY for ps plus. It's the same thing bro.

xHeavYx3947d ago

You got owned, bro!
@Roper No need to try to have them understand

MysticStrummer3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

"It's the same thing bro."

No, it isn't.

Peace and good gaming.

@rusty515 those are 2 different things f2p are the games that let u play the full game but give u the option to buy add ons . And if u have ps+ or not u can play it for free without u having to buy ps+ but on the 360 its not free for say. U have too buy xbox live gold in order to play the game. So its really not free on the 360 unless u have live gold. And because someone brings it up it doesnt mean there a ps3 fanboy. Its because some people see something wrong the way ms is dealing with it. U should be able to play f2p games without xbox live gold.

@aceitman: I completely agree. I don't believe in paying to play online at all tbh. That's why I game on PC. It's just that this site is filled with so many Sony fanboys it's annoying. I have a ps3, and im getting a ps4 for single player exclusives. But some fanboys on here act as if Sony's like the second coming of god or something. Newsflash, they're making you pay to access the other half of all retail games on ps4. I don't care that I can still play F2P games on ps4 for free. That's how it should be.

And @xheavyx: just shut up dude. You sound stupid.

EDIT: Yes. Go ahead and downvote me and continue to suck off Sony's wang by paying to play online with the PS4.

maniacmayhem3947d ago

Remember when people used to actually comment about the game related to the article and not have to drag in insane, technical, fanboy crap?

No...

yea...me neither.

aceitman3947d ago

True technically but I guess to those already invested in XBL gold it is a freebie. I assume from your comment that silver members don't get access?

YNWA963947d ago

Shut up... If it was on silver you would complain about having to pay for ISP.

Dread3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

Can't really have a comment section in N4G regarding positive MS news without a sony fanboy being first providing a negaitve spin.

Go play oyur "free" games in PS plus and then stop paying for PS plus and see if you can keep it, you hypocrite.

and of course, now that all you sony fanboys will be forced to pay to play online games with the playstation 4, I guess its now fine to pay for online play.

On point:
I am really looking forward to playing this :)
looks like a very good time.

sovietsoldier3947d ago

Nocando3947d ago

Oh my frigging God! I was actually gullible enough to think that this article would be free of negative comments. But, alas, I forgot where I was.

cyguration3947d ago

I would play this game, but I don't feel like paying for it.

Escape from Tarkov and War Thunder devs keep silent about the Ukraine War, still on Russian market

From Babel UA: "With the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against the aggressor also affected the video game industry. The largest game publishers — Ubisoft, EA Games, Rockstar — have limited sales of their products in Russia and Belarus. And Steam, GOG and Epic Games stores have stopped accepting payments in rubles. But Russian players have already learned to circumvent the bans of publishers and shops — there are many instructions about how to do this on the Internet. The situation with the game developers of the aggressor countries is even more complicated. Many of them are not officially Russian or Belarusian, but have long opened offices in Europe and work from Britain, Hungary, and other countries. Russian developers usually donʼt comment on Russiaʼs aggression against Ukraine, continue to cooperate with Western companies and sell their games to Western players. Babel tells about the games Escape from Tarkov, World of Tanks, and War Thunder, which are popular in Europe and the United States, and about the behavior of their developers, who deliberately do not publicly state their position on the war or order advertising from outspoken supporters of the Putin regime."
