worth it?

[Senichiro]

dont know if the hype is worth it to cost 30$ or should i wait for f2p? dont know if peoples till play it after a month and kinda looks like a fast cash grab to me first... but we will see.

also disney dreamlight valley still in ea and not f2p.. so i dont think we will get this game for free till the next 2 years

It won't be f2p in 2023, that I can 100% guarantee. However, if you like kart racers and are a PC gamer, then for $30 this is a fantastic game/value. It has solo play, local multiplayer, and a half dozen different multiplayer modes, and a ton of content for $30, with lots more to be added. It is the first kart game ever to have a simultaneous crossplatform, crossplay, crossprogression release on every major platform (2 gens of xbox, 2 gens of playstation, switch, and PC) so the playerbase is going to be huge.

As someone who played during closed beta, I can say even back then it was already better than any/every PC kart game except for maybe Sonic Racing Transformed, and I think it has a good shot of beating that with the changes since closed beta. Putting the comparison aside, it is definitely the best kart racer to come out since then on the PC, and since that was ~10 years ago that's saying something.

Anyway, you can check out a good bit of closed beta gameplay videos on youtube and see if you think you will like it, and then if you still aren't sure wait until the 18th and check out some new gameplay + reviews to see if it is worth $30 to you. Don't count on it being F2P though, at least not anytime soon.

so $30 and thats without the p2w element and the crazy expensive cosmetics costs. i can say its mega good, but a mega good game dont live long if its greed infested and full of crappy micro transactions. ill buy this but not right away maybe wait for reviews first see if any good. the player base, well its not cross play and hope not at all, that would kill it for pc also make it mega unfair for console who dont have wheel like pc has. i hope this does well but gosh the greed will kill it. bear in mind its not f2p yet so if greedy when we beta test it for 2 years then what on earth will f2p look like

Not sure if you meant to comment on a different game, or just have absolutely no idea what you are talking about (or both), but Speedstorm is fully crossplay across all platforms.
"Disney Speedstorm will support cross-platform play when it arrives on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store"

It also does not support racing wheels on ANY platform, including PC, and even if it did it would be a huge disadvantage to use a wheel for a mario kart-style game designed for controllers.

The rest of your post is equally inaccurate/nonsense.

yea thats kinda that what im worried about. i dont know if this game can live 1 year without getting free to play

Bum out that it's going to be a f2p game Microtransactions are such an enormous turn off, they should follow the mario kart model and just have huge map expansions to buy. They have enough name brand characters to easily do that. oh well.

getting the 69.99 bundle!

I think it depends on what will they sell in the MTX section? I haven't play the beta so idk whether the cosmetic will give you a speed boost/power up or not. If the tokens are only for buying cosmetic, I think it's kind of acceptable? I mean the premium shop in Dreamlight Valley is ridiculously overpriced, but the things inside this shop are not necessary for the gameplay(farming & character stories). But idk, Speedstorm is a multiplayer racing game while DDV is singleplayer rn, and I saw a lootbox system in some beta video. I would just wait for the 1st week reviews b4 I paid for this game.
