The best free to play games

Planetside 2
>>320890393
Why did Valve abandon this
Fact: Dota 2 has the best F2P monetization system ever created
>absolutely nothing gameplay-affecting costs money or even requires an unlock
>the only monetized element is cosmetics and they can also drop for free
It can't get any better without just being free rather than free to play
>>320890240
Team Fortress 2
you know it's true
>>320890393
Another vote for this
TF2 (the gameplay is still really solid, fuck off)
Dota 2 (if you aren't turned off by the genre, also every gameplay aspect is free)
Planetside 2
Dwarf Fortress
Cave Story
>>320890975
>>320890393
Free =/= free to play
>>320891080
Cave Story is free to play.
Fuck off.
>>320891080
Why does it matter? Do you want to pay for gameplay elements? Dota 2 is the only "F2P" game that doesn't do that
>>320891080
It's a game that's free to play?
You know it.

freeware isn't the same as free-to-play business model
>>320890240
Warframe honestly
Tribes Ascend.Aha I'm just kidding, but I fucking wish.
>>320891287
No, cave story is free.
>>320891289
>Do you want to pay for gameplay elements?
No? Where the fuck did that even come from?
I'm telling you that "free" and "free to play" are entirely different beasts, and finding good free games is a lot different and easier than finding good free to play games. The distinction is very important, if OP wanted a freeware games thread he would have said so.
>>320891356
"free to play" means you can download it and start playing for free, but the entire game is not free. Cave Story and Alien Swarm are just free games.
>>320890240
Define "best"
>>320890240
Well the best F2P games in the market is
Dust4
Warthunder
Blacklight(on pc)
And planeside 2 everything else is either garbage or ASSFAGGOT shit
>>320891565
Now this is autism
No one would specifically ask for "free to play" games
>>320890721
Too bad your playing one of the worst genre of games to try and "have fun"
>because /v/ likes to have fun olaying games.
Robocraft; the monetization is to purchase more blocks and membership for bonus xp and friend slotin party. cant buy anything beyond your level.
>inb4 that game sucks and your using greentext wrong
>>320891648
>No one would specifically ask for "free to play" games
Weird, why did OP do it then?
>>320891565
but it's a game and it's free to play it
the op said free to play games
games that are free for you to play have been posted
Fistful of Frags is more free than most f2p games.
>>320890240
League of Legends
>>320891660
>anon has shit opinion
>doesn't know the difference between your and you're
>>320891683
Because OP most likely didn't mean the autism you're trying to brew up
Why would anyone specifically want a free game where they are mostly going to have to pay for things
Robocraft
World of tanks
Warframe
Warthunder
Mechwarrior online
And thats just a start i think anons can flesh this list out.
>>320891547
Why kidding? Tried that game the other day, seemed pretty cool. Wondered why it isn't more popular. Can only guess stubborn autists sticking to the old game
>>320891732
If you want to blatantly ignore well-defined terminology be my guest, but you're posting completely irrelevant bullshit
Seeing what games managed to be free to play (i.e. not just freeware) and still manage to be enjoyable and successful is a perfectly valid topic of discussion
>>320891950
>Because OP most likely didn't mean the autism you're trying to brew up
Everyone who says "free to play" does, because that's what the fucking term means
>>320890240
Duelyst !
They're all putrid garbage.
>>320892068
>Wondered why it isn't more popular.
Devs burned the playerbase hard after beta with pay2winning the fuck out of the unlocks, and then leaving the game to rot for two years without an update.
>>320891531
play a good f2p game and you'll see how shit warframes model is
>>320892216
That's a shame. Didn't even realize it had been out that long. I seemed to do fine with my free weapons.
Every game is free.
>>320892236
Thats if you play that game for pvp, which is still garbage IMO. but the clan base building and card system aling with the fleshed out atory and the space jetpacks and the pet growing and the ninja esque mobilty. .... im going to go update right now.
>>320892486
They just rebalanced the entire game recently to try and get players back, but I haven't had enough time to delve in and see if the changes were enough.
Shit used to have nine classes which felt completely wasteful, now it's back to the Tribes classic Light/Medium/Heavy loadouts I believe.
>>320890240
I just start playing Warframe and I really like it. The combat is really fun and there seems to be a shit ton of content. I also like how you can obtain most things just from playing the game, even if it is a huge grind. The grind is fun to me, mostly because I've sunk hundreds of hours into Monster Hunter so i'm kind of used to it.
>>320890240
do what you want cause a pirate is free

Dust514 is the only good one I'm playing with. I dropped Dota a year ago and it's been great leaving that shit behind
>>320890240
dota 2 if you can get good at it, otherwise you'll drop it and call the game shit
>>320892581
Nah.
Warframe is a mediocre game that people only play because it has a bunch of things to collect and level up.
The base gameplay is incredibly mediocre
There is absolutely no balance between frames.
They try to sell you as much useless shit as possible.
If you cant see warframe for the skinnerbox it is, youre a retard
>>320890721
Problem is because of that model, bans don't exist or mean anything. Actual intentional feeders don't get any real consequences since Steam is free.
>>320891626
>Blacklight
>>320890721
the dota 2 model is just based off the tf2 one.
>>320890721
Too bad they have had to rework how cosmetics work because they clearly weren't making enough money from it. They are also doing seasonal compendiums now. And despite all this heroes still come at a snails pace because valve won't fucking expand the staff team.
>>320890240
The one they made that documentary about
>>320893392
TF2 model puts new players at a disadvantage since they only have the basic weapon loadouts.
DOTA2 is strictly cosmetics.
>>320892581
warframe is pay for convenience and they make damn sure they can monetize convenience every chance they get.

Unless you're one of those youtubers that was countless forms on a shitty gimmick then you're a retard,plus sentinel are better
Also "fleshed out story" is a understatement the "story" was wasted potential at best.

Not really, every gameplay-related aspect is completely free, even without grind

I left the game when Mannconomy went live so I wouldn't know how fucked the current balancing is.
The achievement weapons were bad enough.
Mapletsory's new reboot server removes pay to win, increased money drop, and allows you to buy the stuff to make you powerful with in game money. also trading is disabled in the Reboot Server. you can buy char slot increases, pendant slots, cubes, and even earn pets now. pay 2 win is gone, and peopel actally want to party now.
Dirty Bomb is fun.
>>320890721
>Always loved aesthetic customization in games whenever they were available
>Nowadays it's completely acceptable to put it behind a paywall even if you're paying full price for the game, and especially if the game is low price/free
I will never not be depressed by this.
>>320892656
Yeah but the way the did the loadouts is kinda dumb. Certain equipment makes other stuff unusable with no indication. For example, a sniper rifle makes the boost upgrade unusable, but you can still equip it and have it take up an inventory slot. So they have loadouts, but still have class-based restrictions.
