Making this review for those concerned by Angry Joe's misinformed remark that Dirty Bomb is pay-to-win: it is NOT.

1. Angry Joe's Argument #1: You need a get a high-end loadout card to do good.
Counterpoint: The cards you get aren't game breaking at all. They simply offer sidegrades to the default weapons. I've never lost a gunfight because the other person had a better card than my lead (lowest grade) Skyhammer card!

2. Angry Joe's Argument #2: To get the best cards, you need to spend $55.
Counterpoint: I'm just gonna quote TotalBiscuit's counterargument: "You can buy any loadout [card] in the game for ingame credits no problem." Not to mention Angry Joe's friend who was present during the video told him not to spend the $55. It was entirely unnecessary. The game never pressures you to spend a dime. The only way I'd feel pressured to spend real money is if they put in a skin that gives the overly masculine Skyhammer a super cute pink ballerina outfit (please!).

3. Angry Joe's Argument #3: To get the best cards, if you don't want to spend $55, you have to grind for hours to get enough to buy the card.
Counterpoint: Again, quoting TotalBiscuit: "Grind? You play the game, thats the point of games right, to play them? Progression is something that happens as you play, its not the goal, the goal is to win."

4. Angry Joe's Argument #4: The card system is based on RNG and it's a terrible system.
Counterpoint: So basically the card system is that you get cards from cases (that you get from winning games or using 2 games worth of in game currency to buy -- and no, they don't require $2.49 to open like CS:GO cases! <3) that determines your mercenaries' weapons, camo outfit, and perks. The card you get is completely random, and the weapons are usually just preference since they're all on par with the default weapons. Angry Joe's anger stemmed from the fact that he opened a ton of these cases and got, in his mind, horrible cards. I personally think it's a great thing that someone can put $55 into this game and NOT get the most perfect card ever (even though there isn't "best" card for any merc).

I hope I could clear things up for you Angry Joe fans who are looking to get into Dirty Bomb.

World of Goo is adorable, with lots of cute little quotes ("Personally, I think everyone is beautiful."). The puzzles are loads of fun and can be challenging at times. (:
