With apologies to "Downfall".

Hitler finds out Ace Combat: Infinity is F2P

00:00 - 00:03 We are preparing for AC:I's release.

00:04 - 00:05 We will play with our friends here,

00:05 - 00:07 here, and here.

00:08 - 00:12 From what we can tell, the game plays nothing like Assault Horizon,

00:12 - 00:15 which means we can play with complete freedom, and no on-rails gameplay.

00:17 - 00:19 I heard a rumor from Steiner that the game was F2P.

00:19 - 00:21 That can't possibly be true, though.

00:24 - 00:26 Sir...

00:27 - 00:28 Steiner...

00:31 - 00:33 Steiner was right, it is F2P.

00:34 - 00:36 Namco has officially announced it.

00:53 - 00:58 Everyone who bought a 360 for Ace Combat 6, get out now.

01:13 - 01:15 What the hell are they thinking?

01:15 - 01:17 Making a F2P game like we're on fucking Facebook.

01:18 - 01:23 And I can't even get it on a disc now.

01:25 - 01:28 I would've ordered a collector's edition.

01:29 - 01:31 They're insane!

01:31 - 01:34 This is Ace Combat, not Candy Crush Saga!

01:34 - 01:37 This is a good series they're fucking with!

01:37 - 01:40 Nickel and dimeing the core fanbase!

01:40 - 01:42 Sir, people weren't buying enough copies of the last 2 games.

01:42 - 01:46 That's because AC:AH sucked, and AC6 was 360 exclusive!

01:46 - 01:48 Sir, they want to expand beyond the core fanbase.

01:48 - 01:52 They tried that with AH, and we got fucking DFM!

01:53 - 01:54 Now we get F2P!

01:56 - 01:57 just to appeal to casuals.

01:57 - 02:00 Now you can fly a few missions a day at most,

02:00 - 02:03 then pay or wait 'till your virtual fuel regenerates!

02:04 - 02:08 You've got to be fucking kidding me!

02:08 - 02:13 They could've at least let you buy unlimited fuel!

02:14 - 02:16 That would've been worth paying for.

02:17 - 02:21 Not to mention that they've removed TDM, so I can't even dogfight with Stalin!

02:27 - 02:29 Now we have to pay a micropayment fortune,

02:30 - 02:34 just to play the game as much as we normally would.

02:34 - 02:36 This could've been Ace Combat 7.

02:41 - 02:42 But instead we get this...

02:43 - 02:47 A fucking F2P Pay-2-Grind microtransaction shitfest!

02:48 - 02:53 Just designed to suck all our money out of our wallets!

02:54 - 02:56 What do they think?

02:56 - 02:59 Do they think this will actually grow the fanbase?

03:00 - 03:02 This could kill the series forever!

03:04 - 03:07 It's okay, we'll get AC7 eventually.

03:14 - 03:16 I suppose if the gameplay is normal,

03:19 - 03:23 it'll at least be a fun game to play.

03:25 - 03:26 That's something.

03:31 - 03:33 We'll pay our $60 in micropayments,

03:40 - 03:46 and hope Namco makes enough money to fund a proper sequel.

03:46 - 03:49 We may yet get a proper AC7.
