Majority of multiplayer games has shifted to a f2p game as a service model

daily reminder that literally nobody gives a shit about fightin games. they're fun as fuck, that is true, but the fanbase as a whole is rather small

Fighting games fags will keep buying it and the passes. All of the passes.
Point me in the direction of a F2P fighting game that's popular. Anywhere. Ever.

You realize that there are tons of games that are F2P without P2W?
Those games get by for selling entirely cosmetic items.
Now cosmetic skins can still give a player the advantage sometimes on accident when the skin designers fuck it up. League of Legends shows that one, but direct stat boosts or extra I-Frames wouldn't exist in that regard.

Fighting games are strange. Why not just pick the most busted character you can and just spam it over and over?

mk11 is one of the very few fighting games that get it right. it's not perfect but it's on a tier by itself when it comes to content, replayability and justifying a full price.

Thats exactly what people that play at competitive levels do.

That's what everyone does until the strongest character gets nerfed, then everyone moves to the second strongest, then that one gets nerfed, then they move to the third strongest, and so on and so forth.

Yes, it's just a shame that mechanics in NRS games are so shit, as are the animations. If something like Tekken had content similar to MK it would be so much better, because I actually like playing Tekken.

>nerfed
this is the real issue with competitive games in my opinion.

different characters are busted at different skill levels, not necessarily the top character is the top at all skill levels, unless its something like dbfz (which I like but the tier list stays consistent at all skill levels because of bandai namco always make pay to win bullshit, like in tekken)

F2P shouldn't b allowed to exist. Nor DLC or MTX.

Lol

The actual reason f2p + micro transactions will become the standard for all games is because of population size. Heres an example:
20 years ago the game market was only a few million people and it was expensive to distribute.
10 years ago the market was tens of millions, and it was cheaper to distribute.
Now you market is hundreds of millions, and its almost free to distribute.
Because the market size increased, you have to sell to fewer people, so few people that not everyone has to pay to make your money back. Its more important to have players than it is to charge money to play.
It will never go back.

CHINGER

Main issue with fighting games is lack of longterm engagement for non die hard fans and oversaturation. Having multiple fighring games being free to play would entice players to try them out but most would dip out from long term engagement and due to the next shiny fighting game appearing and multiple options being in the market already.

I wonder, are you actually braindead or just baiting?

GET A HAIRCUT!

I don't want fighting games to be ruined by zoomerniggers
with f2p they will become even more of a shitshow of infinite balance patches, and they'll milk the same games for longer with even more esports trash

enjoy never having new games again with your games as a service model
when's LoL2? when's dota2? when's fortnite2? when's brawlhalla2? never, you're stuck with the games you have.
basically, max is fucking retarded

>spends more time talking and complaining about fighting games than playing them
Max is unironically /ourguy/

>even more of a shitshow of infinite balance patches
unlike now...r-right?

Also the fact that their advertisement campaigns focus more on showing that rather than trying to convince non-competitive players that they'll be able to compete this time or "yo, we gonna be sooooo esports."

he's ugly as fuck and whenever I see him I always think of that weirdo whose obsessed with etna from disgaea with those weird custom wedding rings made for them because all the art he commissions has a character who looks just like him in it.

lol

What the fuck? I like Max now.

>paying for games

Shut up Max, going f2p would not keep your casual ass invested any longer than the usual week

does he even play online during that week? all i ever see him do is sit in training mode

can you stop posting that fucking retard thanks, I'm sick of seeing his face on a regular basis here.

Hear me out ..What if we bought a fighting game for full price… and got all the content with it

Hi grandpa.

wow dude, you want the genre to die or something dude, not cool dude

Even if it had a good amount of content, which is unlikely to happen with a launch of a fighting game unless it can re-use a lot of assets anyway, I don't think people would want that. People like wondering what new characters are going to be added and seeing the game change with patches and shit. If a new fighting game came out and they just said that it's not getting any new characters later in its life at all, even if it had a good roster, I don't think people would like it.

this, they actively search for every version of this video and try to take it down, it's actually fucking insane

post her sister

youre a fucking retard if you dont think lol is p2w. they literally buff any character that is popular enough to sell skins. the entire game balancing is focused on making you want to buy skins.

>youre a fucking retard if you dont think lol is p2w.
Tell me how it's pay 2 win
>they literally buff any character that is popular enough to sell skins
Tons, on tons of characters with dozens of skins have been nerfed to hell, and are not in a good state. Some characters kits like Lux will be impossible to make bad because the utility it provides. Your statement isn't accurate.
> the entire game balancing is focused on making you want to buy skins.
Wanting to buy a skin isn't related to balance. It does not cost real money to buy champions. You can get every champion in the game without spending money.

League literally isn't p2w.

He looks like a jew

It really is funny people keep saying they want fighting games to be released with all the content like in the old days. Yet in the old days devs would relase a new full priced edition just to add two new characters and maybe a some bug fixes.

Okay, but then you will have to pay for the game at full price again when they add new content to it

You guys realize he's biased as hell because he helped work on the Killer Instinct reboot? A f2p game that was also a flop because it came out on the Xbox one when it was still controversial?

Max has never been shy about how he has e-goons stalk people who posts things he doesn't like. He has talked about it on stream. It's pretty revolting to be honest.

Haradatard still can't realize why Tekken 3 is the best selling Tekken to date on one platform and much smaller userbase compared to today.
Also it had no online.

I see the Max shills have entered the thread trying to push p2w

Tekken 4 is still better, salesfag
