Easy. You just can't properly monetize story-driven sp games. In F2P games you need a "hook" that makes you want to spend money on the game. You can't sell small snippets of the story and hats/powerups etc. won't be in big demand in a game with a finite gameplay length.

I agree on the unnecessary online/mp part. The reason F2P doesn't affect sp games yet is, because this model is still in its infancy. *If* this really takes off, things are going to get grim for story-driven sp games.
F2P pretty much spells the slow death for singleplayer games. If this business model gets more and more successful you'll see sp-modes disappear. In that regard this scheme is cancerous.
I see your point -but still: I'd rather have the game not being made than it being F2P. F2P simply *is* the cancer of videogames. It's good for producers but in the long run shi**y for core gamers, slowly destroying the core industry.
"Most people will buy both".
Hardly any games support it, though. In fact atm only UT3 for PS3 comes to mind and that was better on PC anyways.
If everyone else sits in a tank you're on a level playing field. It's still no fun if you are used to quick, precise movements. I guess it might be alright if you are not used to anything other. FPSs are (one of) the most popular genres on consoles, after all.
Console FPSs aren't *that* bad ;)
Whatever suits you I guess (which basically is the strength of the PC platform in a nutshell). I only find the controller beneficial for beat'em ups and third person action games/RPGs like Demon Souls or Batman.
Uhh...for playing a FPS ? Why...I mean...why ?
He already corrected the article. PC is not confirmed, yet.
So PC is confirmed ? Good...not that I couldn't buy it for my PS4 (which I plan to buy at launch), but I just can't enjoy FPSs with a gamepad. The whole experience is sooo slow and unprecise that it sucks all the fun out of it :-/
...with the difference that Civ5 has no story at all. It's not easily comparable to XCom.
Two new units and two new enemy types...meh...that's hardly substantial changes.
Actually, I'm not a fan of F2P games. I think they sacrifice the core of the game one way or another...it's still going to be F2P in under half a year.
Heh...good luck with that. I'll give it 3-5 months until it's F2P.
No new campaign/story ? That's kind of underwhelming for an "expansion pack" :-/
Indeed. Totally unnecessary and irritating. I really wish they would stop doing that. The new layout sucks.
More like we don't know what's up. She might as well be completely innocent. Though, knowing the Witcher universe she's probably done *something* (different) wrong and those soldiers wanted to rape her. It's really choosing the lesser evil.
I tend to agree the overall voice acting is not bad...more mediocre. I think CD Projekt is wasting a lot of atmosphere this way...but anyhow it's too late now. They should have paid more attention to it the first time around. Changing the voice actors now for the last entry in the series would be very...odd.
