WP - "Frontline Commando 2 is, confusingly, the third game in the Frontline Commando series (the second being FL Commando: D-Day). The gameplay is fairly similar to games such as Time Crisis, where you take cover behind whatever's available in the stage, go from cover to cover as needed, pop out and shoot enemies, and earn War Cash and Gold in the process."
Quality index examines the best militaristic shooters for Call of Duty fans on iPhone
It’s become clear based on recent developments in the game industry as well as countless statements by industry leaders and analysts, that microtransactions will soon be an integral aspect of gaming across the board. Since core gamers will be most affected by the change, it's incumbent upon us to understand how games that are heavy with microtransactions work as well as how they play; and dual currencies are the perfect vehicle for understanding how pay to win games function. Not only are they the most common pay to win scam, but nearly every facet of this ploy’s inner workings reveals how pay to win games are deleterious to quality video games in general.

If you dont count mobile/phone games then it isnt as big of a problem. console and pc gaming have issues with it yes, but i think its a much different/worse problem on mobile games.
plus a lot of people use the term pay 2 win too loosely. ive seen games that offer nothing but cosmetics items as paid content and still there are always those people on forums screaming p2w omg pw2
Don't buy into the BS and be VOCAL about how we don't want them, take a stance. Don't just talk about it be about it though, because if you're just talking sh*t about it and still buying them it doesn't make a difference. Vote with your wallets and speak your mind, they'll listen to the $dollar signs$ first, but if those aren't working they'll listen to us.
This is the most disappointing decision on sony's end so far for me. They used the "online MP is free" flag the entire ps3 era against microsoft and then the ps4 comes out and boom, you have to pay to play online.
Now just imagine if they kept the previous status, they would probably have sold almost twice ps4's as they have already.
@Vitatology- that's not true because PS + started on ps3 offering free games and still does on ps3(free games. Free online) but I and many people knew it was inevitable for Sony to go f2p this gen . At least I hope Sony makes some major upgrades to their servers with the PS + money and don't t forget PS+ is what made XBL better(free games there too )
If they would have kept the same status their servers wouldn't improve
@Ripsta7th Yes I know ps3 online is still free, I was clearly reffering to PS4's online MP, not ps3.
Yeah, that's true, but PS+ is worth the money either way. I've been a long time member and have no regrets at all. I don't even really play online but I still subscribe to the service either way, it pays for itself. I was already a Plus member when I got my PS4 so the only difference I saw was new ps+ games on another system I own.
My name's on it, and I just hopped on the laptop to share the link too, this is real
Don't buy into them. Simple. Too many people will buy anyways because of impatience.
Most casinos pump oxygen into their halls while offering free drinks to their patrons in an effort to keep gamblers both tipsy and alert, the ideal mental state for gambling or rather losing money. Pay to win games employs a similar sleight of hand in the way they price and implement virtual currencies that is every bit as lucrative and manipulative.
Do these parents give their credit cards and let them run loose at Toys R US as well ?
Didn't think so.
Don't let kids use your card.
But yea it is still kind of shady.
Please do sign the boycott petition applet, included at the bottom of the article.
agree and disagree.
allowing your kids to have access to spending money on ipads and tablets is stupid. just imagine giving a girl a platinum credit card for her shopping.
all i am saying is that some people need to be responsible for restricting their account somthat a password is needed for every expenditure..
also you need to teach kids the concept of money, though digital money to virtual money to virtual stamina/gems can be a really hard concept. not as easy to teach as it was to tteach them how much an apple cost.
I agree with everything you said, but I still think it's an awful manipulative scheme that these company's should be ashamed of. Yes parents should wise up and be more responsible but the company's doing this should have a bit more pride about themselves instead of using these tactics to rip people off.
Dumb parents are only the problem if you live in the dumb parents' household. For the rest of us, the IAPs that caused them to get ripped are ruining the games they are in. And that's just one of many issues. That's why signing the boycott makes sense.
This, if people controlled their children better this wouldn't even be a thing.
A lot of parents these days just don't give a f***.
Part of the problem is a lot of the parents don't understand the concept them selves until they see a massive credit card bill and the end of the month.
