Cons
Con Microtransactions everywhere
Con Wasted potential
The development team behind FireFall set out to achieve something revolutionary, but unfortunately bad management, bad decisions and lots of drama turned the game in to a mess of ideas without a clear vision.
Con Buggy
Con Poor tutorial, hard to figure all mechanics out
PlanetSide 2 does a poor job at explaining how to play the game or what anything in the mues do. Equipment loadouts are confusing as well as a minefield of pay items.
Con Pay to win
PlanetSide 2 has pay to win mechanics meant to coerce players into paying for equipment to avoid the extremely long grind it takes to earn anything in game. A brand new player with a deep wallet can customize their gear to their prefered playstyle giving them an advantage over those that opt not to pay.
