Worth P(L)AYing: Tribes Ascend

Alright guys I have had enough of shitty games. Especially shitty shooters (talking to you: Modern Shitfare 3, Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Fail and Battlefield 3) I really feel like we gotta promote good games in here so… here’s Worth P(L)AYing! What is it? It’s simple, if you’re playing any good, underrated, indie (or not!), difficult and worth paying for (or free!) games and would like to share with us just post here. We’re going to post some titles from time to time that we think are worth playing and most of all paying for.

 

Worth P(L)AYing #1

 

Let’s do this, here’s probably the best review I could find on YouTube (by @CynicalBrit) of Tribes Ascend which is still in early beta (unfortunately at this time we won’t be doing any video reviews on our own). If you’ve ever played Tribes back in the days you will probably play this for months, I got into beta lately and it’s basically all I play now. I won’t be going into details of what Tribes is about or whatever, everything is explained on the video below. Have fun watching!

 

How to get beta access?

Keep looking at Tribes Ascend Facebook profile or Twitter profile and who knows maybe you’ll get a key soon.

Want to pay to play right away?

Go ahead and get the VIP pack (which gives you bonuses and Tribes Gold in the game). Remember the game itself will be Free 2 Play when it comes out though.

Would you like us to get some Tribes Ascend beta keys to giveaway?

    Haven’t tried tribes yet. I might soon though, cause Blacklight Retribution is pissing me off right now. It is taking forever to patch (I got 32 000 downstream usually and it already took an hour to load 640 mb). It had better be a good game!

    In general I am not such a big f2p fan. My brother is only 15 and he spends a lot on bf heroes. So i can either tell my parents and have them step in (he won’t listen to me) or watch him continue like that. Not cool.
    Those who offer f2p should really make sure under age kids don’t play their stuff, because they lack control on spending!

    TotalBiscuit “WTF is…” series is not a review. He claimed many times that’s it’s “only” a FIRST IMPRESSION :)
    Anyway i believed him and my friend who loves this game, he bought it and send me one beta key. Unfortunately i don’t have my internet yet and can’t play :(…

    true, you have to play something, when not buying from steam with unfair price, so you have to get something from different places :)

    Fair enough. To be completely honest, I wouldn’t like that to happen either. I’m sure it won’t.
    I like the funny pictures on the side though, and some random article once in a while.
    For example, that Jurassic Park jeep story didn’t move me that much, but I liked the
    one about that Game Getter site, where you can buy an upcoming game along with certain
    number of people and get it cheaper. This could pick up in the future.
    Remember, this site is not only about flaws of Steam and likes of it, but also about good
    alternatives.

    Dude just chill, this site will never turn to some gaming-news site. We just post rage news, deals and sometimes something else like this one. Don’t like it? Don’t read it. Don’t expect it to pop up everyday, maybe twice a month tops. Just look around for past news, you’ll see what I mean.

    Hmm, you seem to be quite right. In my recent memory there were more articles about random games. Seems like I jumped to conclusions too early. I still stand by my point that this site shouldn’t focus on the games itself, there are plenty of other, better, alternatives for that.
    I’m not waiting on a weekly item on this site about some cool game I should try.

    Dude, this site IS about flaws of digital distribution, have you read anything in the past 2 weeks?
    Scroll down and see what it was about. So can we have some fucking fun/off topic around here? Does it always have to be about Steam? I’ve gotten pretty sick of Steam lately, some non-related stuff once in a while is refreshing.
    Besides, no point of letting the good news pass you by if there’s nothing else going around.

    I never stated I would go to some forum to read gaming news.

    Best of luck with your site about random gaming news. Too bad that there are plenty of other sites who do exactly that and better.
    I’ll stick around in case some interesting Steam-related news pops up, but I’m sure I’ll leave if the sites transforms into some gamingnewssite with 95% random gaming newsitems and 5% news about online distribution/Steam/Whatever this site once was about.

    Too bad, you had a nice avatar.

    If you’re planing on going to Steam forums for any sort of fair news (about Steam or anything else), good luck with that, seeing that anyone who posts anything that moderators don’t like (not violating rules, mind you) will get himself censored/banned. That’s how this site began, remember? But hey, don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
    Bon voyage! And don’t forget to write.

    They show up on my RSS-feed and the mainpage of this site.
    I’m just stating my opinion, and if this doesn’t change that’ll mean I and maybe others will leave.

    if “news/posts” about games are not interesting for you… just don’t read them, simple?

    “I really feel like we gotta promote good games in here”
    I thought this site was about Steam, digital sales and the flaws in these systems?
    I don’t come here for trivial gaming news, because there are way better alternatives for that.
