This is most definitely in the "Keeping a cautious eye on but am now so jaded by MMORPGs that my hopes are basically nil" standard f13 category.

I registered, they were offering a nifty ship for registering. Its probably a giant piece of crap, but I wanted it anyways. I figure if I could waste money on ESO then I might as well throw some money at something like this when it releases.

Oh no. That's just looks so bad. Ugh. Currently in development for PC, Mac, iOS and Android Mobile port back to computer. Scale investment to the size of the audience. Watch this gets kicked to the curb if Firefly ever becomes a thing again. Otherwise, this is the game we deserve.

Great so that means that it'll be f2p, but will kick you in the dick with the in-game store.

I am touched by your sunny optimism. I don't mind the graphics that much, to be honest: I've played a lot of dreary games that look gorgeous. It's not a million miles from the Shadowrun graphics that, in the single player game, are just fine. Not that far from NWN's first (re)incarnation come to that.

WTF is this? http://store.steampowered.com/app/343750/Firefly Online Cortex A "companion app" to a product which does not exist yet. You download it, log in, and they show you advertisements for the game. By watching them, you get points which convert to currency if the game ever exists. You can also give them money through this app, if you want. I just... I don't even fucking know anymore. Can I just sell a paypal deposit button on Steam? Just like "Hey, everyone, money, deposit it here, you can compete to see who can donate the most money, here's a JPG of Alan Moore or something, I don't know, whatever, have fun." Holy fuck.

If you stay away from the microtrans past the initial $5 "donation" it's not a bad app. Minimally, you get to learn about the 'verse (running click-to missions) while building up cards (screen-capped from show) and brownie points you can use for the game when it releases. The missions are timed and increase in difficulty, so eventually you'll need to know your way around.
It's no different than the people who drop RMT for a game before it releases to secure in-game shwag. Only this time, there's at least an app involved instead of well... nothing.

Paying 5 dollars to earn stuff for a game that does not exist yet makes it a bad app by default.

So say you for literally every MMO ever produced practically, whether f2p or otherwise? They all have some kind of pre-release transaction base. Also, there's a difference between "exist" and "release." This game exists, it releases in a few months. Something like Star Citizen? Can't really say it even exists yet... and we see what's happening monetarily with that game. Anyways, the game runs on BP. The app earns BP + shwag. It's a nice app actually (akin to a companion app for a show or movie). So I fail to see the negative. It's orders of magnitude better than a simple webstore that says "gimme money" for this ingame t-shirt. Plus it gets me all fired up on firefly again.
