Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
Good maybe they can use that money so developers will optimize the game
Doubtful, Since its a Korean made game running on a crappy Korean made engine.
No wonder they earned so much considering in game cash shop (for real money) and that’s on a paid product ! Want to have these nice looking outfits that are presented in all promotional videos… purchase them 😀
Indeed. It’s seemingly even worse than that if ‘Recent’ user reviews on Steam are anything to go by. It’s gone from ‘Mostly Positive’ to ‘Mixed’ whereby folk are seemingly irked by a recent game update that extended the reach of micro-transactions.
Just a heads up for DSO : Today, 505 Games removed Denuvo from ADR1FT.
Soo props for this devs removed cancer of Denuvo.
no one other than pirates care
Thanks for the heads-up. I may buy it now in a future sale.
B2P game with F2P micro-transactions. Not to mention that the game is really pushing you to use the cash shop.
Last time I played it, the game had 6 armour looks per class. What a f’ing joke.
GW2 all day over this grind-fest garbage.
This game got boring after level 56.
Main thing that put me off this game is a RNG, it terribe sometimes, took me awhile to get into the game but eventually did. The costumes are expensive but the game is cheap so if you plan on playing for a long time, it’s worth buying a few costumes, still cheaper than a AAA game.
What is an “IPO”?
