Free-To-Play Neverwinter Might Redeem My Xbox One

Mike hopes that the Free-To-Play MMO Neverwinter will finally give him something to play on his Xbox One, besides Blu-rays.

Not a fan of the F2P model but I'll give this a shot and see how far I can get before I'm asked to drop some cash.

[Father__Merrin]

I always feel the same way it's worth a shot and any gametime it gives is a bonus.

case in point I got 10h in on path of exile before uninstalling

I think this may do well, but article seems off as why would you use your xbox as bluray player

[MasterCornholio]

Yep that's the beauty of FTP.

Hopefully its fair though.

[Ashlen]

Yea, i'm just going to have to warn people.

This game is totally pay 2 win.

They say things like you can get the best items by playing and give that illusion but the reality is due to internal cool downs and other methods even if you farmed 24 hours a day a single item will take 3 to 4 months or longer to completely upgrade and you'll have dozens of items. And paying to upgrade a single item can easily cost $400 or more.

And the Xbox version comes with module 4 the upcoming module on PC which will be on Xbox in a few months is adding another grind/p2w layer by increasing the level cap to 70 which means anything you buy now will either become obsolete or you'll need to pay to upgrade the item again. And there is every reason to believe they are re-tuning the content to make it so that it can't be completed unless you have paid for the higher rank gear.

A single character in Neverwinter can easily cost over $3000.

Be careful, the Xbox launch with an earlier version of the game is a trap.

Cryptic and PerfectWorld prey on people with addiction issues.

You have been warned.

F2P games on consoles are kind of rare still so they have a greater impact that it would on PC.

It won't be GREAT, but it will be a nice game to go play while your waiting for a new one to release.

And it's Free.

[supersonicjerry]

you won't get very far then because they ask to drop cash pretty early on. You don't have to drop cash tho

[zidane1341]

Because the ps4 has better exclusives, right?

[Chanogram]

I know this is an opinion piece, but i had to stop reading after the first line: "Am I the only one desperately searching around for something to play on my Xbox One?"

There is a TON to play. Unless you have 10+ hours to spend on games a day, you shouldn't be out of games. If your main console is a PS4, then I guess i get it, but if not...

[MPScrimshaw]

Its not a matter of being "out of games" its a matter of the Xbox One library of games being abysmal. I should know better, I'm a third gen Xbox user, but if you don't want a same-old same-old shooter, you're basically out of luck.

and most of the games in the EA access vault.
Not listing the other games I have because I don't really play them. But clearly there's more than just "same-old same-old shooters"

[Chanogram]

Abysmal is hardly the word i'd use for the games out on Xbox One. Also, to clarify, I meant the PS4 statement as in you play all your Multi-plat games on PS4, and use X1 for exclusives. I am in that boat with my PS4 (nothing to play), because i play all the multi-plat games on X1.

There are so many games out, for being only a year and a half (or less) into launch. I really just dont get the "abysmal" part.

[Vasto]

Post like this just seem out of place now. What shooters?

[gangsta_red]

You have Screamride, Ori and this D&D game this month coming to Xbox One...none of those games are shooters.

Looks like we're back in luck!

[mhunterjr]

Why doesn't he have any xb1 games to play?

[thrust]

Because he does not have a xbox one

[christocolus]

lmao.that was funny. bubs +1.

[NeoGamer232]

He lost me at "Nothing to play on X1".

[Moldiver]

Same here.

Im still enjoying all my XB1 games. especially FH2, FM5 and halo. SSO was sick, and still gets playtime. Super time force is the best 2d shooter I played since radiant silvergun. Cant wait to sink my teeth into ori and below is going to be like zelda meets dark souls meets the journey. Cant wait for those.

And thats before I even talk about my multiplats that I play on live like BF4, farcry and soon Pcars amongst others.

XB1 is my go to console right now. Aint played my PS since returning DC last year, but Ill be borrowing my brothers copy of the order over the weekend. I should beat it in an afternoon on hardest settings with aim assist off.Then its back to FH2, halo and BF4 for me. Until ori comes out. Im going to sign up to EA access on friday, so I can get hardline early and with a discount. Hope they do the same for ME4 and starwars:BF.

[kan-kaneki2]

free to play mmo might redeem your xbox?

k

[Jazz4108]

This looks good but I have so much to play and ones to catch up on it will be a while before I get to it

[snaggdadon]

im gonna sell my xb1 soon if i dont get any games i actually want to play....im waiting on ori and the blind forest.....smh that is all so far this month however 4 games on my radar for the ps4 and one for my wiiu...a damn shame!!!

[MPScrimshaw]

Yes, this. Its a real shame, because I really don't want to have to buy a PS4, but there's just nothing coming down the pipe for XB1 that is of any interest to me at all.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Ori, Screamride, Neverwinter, Smite, IDARB, Rayman for free

Later this year Quantum Break, Forza 6, Halo 5, Fable Legends

Later on Ryse Of The Tombraider, Crackdown, Phantom dust, Scale Bound Gears Of War 4

None of these interest you?

Some are hard to please I guess.

[ilikepizza]

What the hell 4 games are on your radar for ps4??? Pretty sure they have 2 games out for the rest of the year... Bloodborne and uncharted. Unless you count the former move game until dawn, that's 3 what are the others??? Maybe mlb? Lol the ps4 is dry as hell.....

[hanaghansarah]

That's not fair, there's plenty to play on the xbox!

[Bolts]

Calling this game free to play is a joke. Everything about this game is pay to win. A console MMO that I"m actually looking forward to is ESO, which is pay to play with no subs fee. At least in that game I can enjoy the content without being nickle and dime to death at every turn.

[prettyboy12]

thats the reason why more people prefer the ps4 over other consoles,although in my opinion the big nin has had some pretty decent exclusives like bayonetta 2 loved that game

[gamertk421]

Got such a backlog: playing Dragon Age, NBA 2K15, Call, Mordor, Trials, Peggle. Haven't even touched Evil Within, Alien I so, Far Cry 4. Guess that's what happens when you have a good job and a girlfriend... Oh, and outings with friends.

[KiwiViper85]

Who are you trying to impress?

[ilikepizza]

I have the same problems, trying to get the girlfriend something other to play than peggle 2, shape up and Tetris -.- trying to get her into halo lol. My back catalog dates back to mass effect 3,unopened copies of saints row 1-3. On Xbox one I'm busy with each access games alone then games with gold thennnn gamefly games, it's ready a great time too be a gamer :D

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Hehe, got my girlfriend Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning for Valentine's Day. It's her favorite game :3

[ilikepizza]

i need a game for her where walking doesnt involve 2 analog sticks,it's like her handicap lol,but it hink it's best to learn now cause most of all games today require that for walking,it's crazy how we take it for granted. That said now fable legends is f2p along with never winter and 2 games with gold in april,i need a 2tb external hard drive now -.-

[Kribwalker]

I'm in the same boat, but wife and kids. I've got GTA 5, dragon age, far cry 4, Fantasia music evolved, advanced warfare and I'm still playing through AC unity, sunset overdrive destiny and master chief collection....and with spring coming in gonna have even less time as I play baseball and my 8 year old plays baseball, and then I bought a new trailer last year so I have a lot of camping coming up. I feel you buddy

[XanderZane]

Sure, I'll give it a play. It's free, so there's no reason not to give it a try unless you don't care much for these type of MMO's. I'm really looking forward to Smite though. That will be next on my list and it should be out this year as well.
