Kinda it does feel like that cuz we only have so much free stuff then if you want more jutsu gotta buy a dlc then if you want weapons you gotta grind hard asf to get barely any witch makes it hard to get what you want then you feel pressured to buy scrolls for the shit you want
Not necessarily. It encourages you to spend money, but you can survive the game as a pure F2P Player. It encourages you to spend money on new DLC and moonlight scrolls for new items, but you don't have to. You can survive on your skills and how crafty you are with the free jutsu and ults
Yes. Absolutely. The moment most of the weapons, equipment and techniques are behind some sort of paywall (either DLC or gacha), already proves that; you're getting stuff others can't get without throwing money at the game too or grinding.
@@noyrz well at least you have an option as to wether or not you want to throw money at the game to items. it's fully possible to get items in tenten's shop without moonlight scrolls. you're encouraged to spend money and take the easy way out because the devs designed it that way. you don't have to, you're just encouraged to
@@jacariwatsonallard8603 Absolutely! With the amount of stuff like DLC, microtransactions and overall FOMO the game has, it's hilarious how it's not a free to play title but a 40 bucks game (now 15 I think).
I don't call it pay to win... but I do call it pay to have the most fun out of it... and pay to make it easier.. especially with the cheese in this game but you can still cook with vanilla jutsu but even I can't deny you will be very limited
I don't think it is pay to win, but with the age of the game, power creep has certainly become a problem. The SS+ weapons are the biggest offender, but once you adapt it's not that bad. What they need is dedicated servers from how much bank they make from moonlights.
They could drop free jutsu pack once per start of a new season that would bring ppl to the game then more ppl would be buying scrolls and dlcs. And even if they don’t buy scrolls and dlc’s lotta ppl would be buying the game witch would make the game trend in stores then boost sales even more it’s a risk cuz they could lose money making free jutsu pack but once a year free jutsu they could make that back in 1 day
They need to make ryo have an actual use, if they let us buy esoteric scrolls, with the Max of buying 50 scrolls every two days ong that would be more fair
Real reason why I put a limiter is cuz realistically everyone has over 2 million ryo and if they don’t put a limit they won’t get any money from moonlight scrolls
yeah this game is p2w. i didnt think so at first till i saw the dev log for the start of s8 and all the big updates were just "new items added to the gacha system!!"
You should do a non dlc jutsu nuzlocke where you have to win or you can’t use the jutsu for the rest of the series if you lose. I think that the secret technique should get 3 chances before getting eliminated and you can use any summon, weapon, and tool.
the last 10 games i was just playing with the characters like tsunade and borushiki and ofc you open them without any dlc and they are actually pretty strong
Honestly I’d call it a pay for fun game because the base game gets pretty old once you get through all base vr masters. You pay to enhance your experience
I was whooping people online with a simple attack type using raikage loadout and using boxing gloves so I don’t feel it’s pay to win, it’s more pay to flex 😂
I kind of feel like it’s pay to keep playing, for example when I started playing 3 years ago it was super fun for about a year until the boredom started! Then after about a month long break I bought my first dlc, needless to say I haven’t really been bored. Issue fixed until ss+ started happening and the experience I had with them until I eventually gave in to the moonlight scrolls. I’m just going to say it, with all the money that they have made off me and too many other people they should seriously consider investing in dedicated servers and make a sequel or something! Also keep up the good work with your vids my dude!
It's not a pay to win. You just need to know what you are doing... But when you are playing in a team match it doesn't matter if you know what you are doing.
F2P doesn’t keep games alive. Im surprised the game has lasted this long tbh, but they have been better with quality of life updates. Small buffs to older content is the best answer to solve powercreep while still allowing them to make money off cosmetics in the gatcha system. If you love a game, feed your devs! Edit: i also would pay for some of those ranked rewards, yes let the ppl who earned them have them for awhile but add them to the gatcha system eventually. Haven’t played in awhile so idk how they’ve been going about this but as a casual player I’m not looking to fight the ranks to get an outfit.
I’m honestly very mad at this game even though I try to keep up with it. Because lack of free content with the player base the ninja permanent shop has never been updated we still pulling for old weapons …
ReanimatedBrat here 👋🏾😁Bro, I’m sooo happy to see I made it in the vid!! You’ve been one of my favorite content creators for years, so getting to match up with you and catch a W, really was the best early Bday gift🥹 keep up the amazing work you do for the community.
the problem isn't the pay to win tbh, ntbss is a game with a small community, the majortiy part of players plays since the realese of the game, so it's full of tryharders, the sensation of pay to win is just because the game didn't have a balanced ranked matchmaking. i didn't even know how many time my squad were full of coopers and the enemy team were just tryhards with diamond rank.
What really bothers me is i been playing this game since launch and dont have everything … all i get is duplicates or shid i dont want … 😐 wanted the demon sword guess what they gave me ? After 40 scrolls…. This shid has to stop idc about pay to win but just have packs with the new weapon guaranteed because the shid is ridiculous bruh
For me its not pay to win. You can still beat someone and get SS+ items with just non DLC jutsus. Its a skill issue if you cant win. For Playstation players its Pay2play just to play online. For PC and Xbox the game is scot-free i think
People complain that the game is pay to win, either because they are getting cooked/just beginners or they spent moonlight scrolls and didn't get what they wanted. Dlc can give an advantage but it isn't to crazy, any skilled player knows they don't NEED dlc to do good & have fun in this game
Yeah but it’s unfair when you save up 300+ esos and don’t pull a single SS+ weapon. Plus when have they brought them back? Never? And even worse? When you get duplicates of the same fucking item sometimes it’s as bad as an accessory. Ts is not fun to deal with I don’t want to gamble in a Naruto game bruh😂
Bro your way so late. Yes it is, but rarley will you find skilled players. Everyone else who runs base game build i can respect you. This community will only get more toxic with the new things they been adding. I mean a machine gun in Naruto or baruto lol.
Naw just the DLCs make the game better like more flavors. You could def stick to non DLC jutsu but like man base game is so wack they need to unlock all jutsu and add new DLCs already.
from ^v^ 6:20-6:30 how did you block a whole Ultimate...and take burn damage from that flame control and clearly other attacks with minimum damage that whole encounter??? you have no pill, nor abilities that grant you buff aside from T-Jutsu.....Sssoooooooo mods orrrrrr lololololololololololol ^v^!!!!!!!!
For beginners yes this game is pay to win, going against other people with dlc, they are getting carried for example baryon naruto, alot of beginners will buy this because the moves will carry and anyone thats starting this game won't know how to deal/go against something like this, playing the game more helps with this though
I mean if you join the leagues and save them esoteric scrolls, you'll have enough for any weapon. I got most of my ss+ from esoteric scrolls. It's only play to pay if you are in-game scroll broke. As far as dlc you can't really count that.
I want to say yes, but with the devs constantly buffing jutsus it’s made it a lot more fair for ftp players. Especially when you look at the attack class meta being ftp jutsus currently. Teleportation jutsu, Almighty Push, even the basic claws can do damage.
Is Shinobi Striker pay to win?
Kinda it does feel like that cuz we only have so much free stuff then if you want more jutsu gotta buy a dlc then if you want weapons you gotta grind hard asf to get barely any witch makes it hard to get what you want then you feel pressured to buy scrolls for the shit you want

I recently came back to the game from taking almost a 2-year hiatus and I still haven't lost my touch
I can say it really didn’t feel like a pay to win until they added all these SS+ weapons
Even then it isn’t because every ss+ I spun for was free
@@TOOWEAKIN good for u, that’s not most people’s reality. Its pay to win
@@ichigameing1017 if I got it for free then its definitely not pay to win, plenty people got those items free
@@ichigameing1017 how is it pay to win if spending money doesn’t guarantee you the weapon?

How much have you spent across your years on ntbss?
In your dreams
Look at war robots
Must be the only game you’ve ever played lol

It’s like you said at the beginning of the vid being pay to win or f2p doesn’t really matter it’s a skill issue

honestly i hope they add more free stuff to make up with all those dlcs, also W video bro!
Facts bro we need more free stuff 😭

Ehhh you can win with the base ninjutsus of the game. It’s a skill based game.

The moment you have to pay for new jutsu it becomes a pay to win.

Not Pay to win butt definitely pay to play with broken weapons
And I think the devs know this so they either wait long to fix or don't fix at all
i dont even play anymore, the servers are dead.
They really aren’t I play on PlayStation and it only takes like 10 seconds to que up for a match and it’s not against the same people either
@datboidre477 PC different bro
It’s not pay to win but it is pay to play if you get what im saying
I feel you bro fr
Only ss summons would be p2w and people can get eso scrolls for free so only dlc and maybe ss+ weapons are p2w
Yes its pay to win hard

I run a non dlc build...no it isnt pay to win
"I run a non dlc build, so that automatically means it's not paid to win"
Bro went teams to get carried by people paying to win lmao that blank update really made Ernie start using cope 🤣🤣🤣
Pay to win? Not if you’re good and play all the time. Pay to have fun? Most definitely
Most definitely pay to win i done got pretty far with basic nd tenten shop stuff nd just getting lucky nd saving scrolls

Cant be pay to win when the only thing you have to pay for is dlc
True that cuz if that was the case any game that has dlc is pay to win

Yeah ngl once you understand the game and stuff I believe you can still be good without needing all these fancy SS+ weapons & even DLCs
Yes.
Man nal keep it real it's paid to win I had to spend just to be a decent ninja keep it real 💯 pay to win they made this game that way
Ss is Hella pay to win
Summons are f2p so i mean...
yes it is
I mean if you join the leagues and save them esoteric scrolls, you'll have enough for any weapon. I got most of my ss+ from esoteric scrolls. It's only play to pay if you are in-game scroll broke. As far as dlc you can't really count that.
