4 weapons (with new stats), 4 hats, 1 noisemaker

Hmm...

Total War: Shogun 2 (Pre-Order with Shogun Pack) €49.99
Shogun Pack in Mann Co. Store €28.99
€49.99 - €28.99 = €21
Virtual items for TF2 are worth more than a brand-new game? :confused:

I have a feeling that a lot of companies have now tasted blood, realizing how well you can sell games this way.
Also, I predict that the crafting recipes will be something like 2 refined metal + 2 Polycount weapons.

I've never bought anything in the mann co. store and don't really feel the need to do so.
My demoman looks cool enough without a silly hat on

the most expensive item in the mann. co store sold the most.

Which would have to be the 50 euro pack of everything

it sold the most

I spent $5 dollars on a bet in the TF2 store

I won $15 on that bet (that I wouldn't unbox a hat when opening a crate with a key)

lol

introducing an economy to an FPS game = FPS game is now dead in the water

real world currency is ridiculous.

it's like charging real money for the AWP in counter-strike: source, and restricting it from all others

only tf2 is even more inane and ridiculous because most of the items don't even have a benefit

lol, I was too late for DWP in CS:S, how was that?

yeah IRL money for content (ANY content) in a FPS game is shit, splits the userbase.

yeah thing is achievement servers made getting items too easy (grind them milestones), so valve decides, these little weeaboos will pay for anything, let's make an item store!

And still is...

3. Collect all eight items through in-game item drops or crafting.

Anybody who plays regularly will have a massive store of metal just sitting there from dupe random drops so crafting all new items takes a few seconds.

Also that Samurai sword sounds like there will be some rather hilarious moments.

Edit: Although yeah I hate the way it seems like we're just getting promo items from now on. I'll probably give the game a go again to play with the sword but I doubt it'll last long.

They say people were complaining about no updates for a while, but all I see are complaints about too many updates that aren't thought out at all. They need to tone it down and fix all the crap that's wrong with the game. And finally add an option to disable all the ugly crap.

What does (I assume) dynamic weapon pricing have to do with TF2's descent into microtransaction madness?

One is in-game round based pricing changes using fake money, one is real money spent on items that most of the time are entirely cosmetic.

I just hope the TF2 cancer doesnt spread to other valve games. And that the money is being directed into HL3 and other such games. Doubt it though.

I bought 2 keys in the mann co store. I would have only bought one but it needed $5 minimum payment.

At least I uncrated 2 hats with the keys.
Ive bought an item and now I can say I will never again.

At the rate Valve is pumping out shitty new items, the leagues are going to auto-ban everything forever, since they won't be able to keep their playtesting up with the rate of new weapons.

Regarding the store, I don't see a problem buying stuff from it, as long as you have a job and don't buy like $100 worth of stuff each week.

Oh by the way in case anybody is wondering here are the stats for the samurai sword. I think they're pretty funny.

On kill: restores you to 100% health

This weapon is Honorbound and once drawn cannot be sheathed until it kills.

Soldiers and Demos
Can duel with katanas
For a one-hit kill.

Broken stats.
Its gonna encourage suiciders that will 90% of the time be able to run into a room and get at least 1 kill.

melee classes are a broken premise because any real class can either juggle or outrun them.

For only €28.99 in the Mann Co. store you can get the new Vanilla Pack Update that disables all updates!

Can I just say that Degrootkeep is now further unbalanced, because a demoman can one hit kill with the katana any solder.

It means he can targe charge, swing once, and kill a solder. Rinse, repeat.

As if the huntsman spam wasn't bad enough. :X
