Free to play or demo.

[LazyJoeBeard]

If its a demo I would say its a nice sized demo, if its free to play that means its pay to win with the 30 dollar paywall blocking tons of content. I would consider this a demo but if you want to consider it pay to win, you do you.

I WOULD say its pay to win if players with better gear were put into F2P games, however they are not.

In "normal" lobbies everybodies gear is equalized to starter gear only. A F2P player can only play in normal lobbies, therefor there is not pay to win.

The only thing I would argue is pay to win is only being able to have one character. While not completely pay to win it removes options from new player's class choices.

So the game's player base is already split. Good to know.

There is no paywall blocking content and there is no P2W thats absurd you play the trial or you pay for the full game simple the ONLY thing you dont have access to is HR which is ONLY a hard mode where you can bring gear, theres no way you can pay to be more skilled or have better gear and you cannot bring high gear into non HR maps

You apparently did not read what I said, I was asking if its a trial or free to play and said IF (that is an important word in this) IF its a trail then its a good demo, if its free to play THEN its pay to win because of content behind pay wall.

When they release a not timely limited demo which allows you to play 80% of the game, call me.

No, you won't get the game for free and it is free 2 play by definition and by the industry standards.

F2P games are the games which are entirely free to play and funded by microtransactions or having a huge portion of the game unlocked and the rest if behind the paywall like Destiny 2.

Don't like it, then don't play it.

Never said I don't like it, I was asking a question. Chill fella.

Well here's a question for you: Is Guild Wars 2 Free to Play?

[Chimpson]

I bought the game about a year ago or so and I mostly played normal dungeons so f2p here is more or less what I payed 40 bucks for.

But the free weekend bums as I call them are never satisfied

Also not all free to play games have either of those, Epic gives out free ones every 2 weeks or something like that, Gog lets you download some 100% free games, there is also doki doki literature club, lots of older games and even some games on steam 100% free no microtransactions and no locked content. Your answer is flawed again

No idea, you can play and do a ton of end game but there is a pay wall for mounts and quite a bit of other content. I will go with yes because you can buy all that content with in game money, spending no real money and getting everything.

aqui no brasil ta custando 150 reais, e é mt caro para um jogo desse porte, com mais 50 reais eu compro baudur's gate

I would be fine with the game if you could create at least 3 different characters (and keep them) for variety sake. It's so tiresome having to delete the character every time you want to try out a different class.

It's Also Not A Demo, As Demos End Either Through Progress Or Time. But You Can Play This As Long As You Want.

Final fantasy 14 has an endless trial that goes from base game to their first expansion.

You can play the trial forever if you wanted, but its still a demo.

Not all demos end, and the F2P for this game is a demo.
