[quote name='rcerboss']I despise the entire principal of it, even in multiplayer most of the time. If it's not an MMO recieving regular updates or a really sizable expansion pack, don't charge for it. I refuse to purchase any shooter that is going to charge me $15 for a bunch of maps, or $10 for a few guns. I've bought games (most recently Ninja Gaiden 3 on WiiU) not because the main game attracted me, but all the free DLC that was released after the fact kept the game in my mind and on my wishlist.
While I find the entire principal morally reprehensible, in practice I just can't believe people are willing to cough up $10-$15 for so little. I hate to keep picking on Arkham City, but paying $10 for challenge room packs or the 2 hour mini-campaign with Harley was a joke. Charging $5 for a costume pack is a joke. And asking $10 for 2 hour missions in games like Assassin's Creed or Bioshock 2 is, again, a joke. It's because of crap like this that I don't have games like Fire Emblem Awakening, Bioshock Infinite, and God of War Ascension pre-ordered right this instant, and why I insist on waiting a year or more to buy games like Assassin's Creed III, and one of the main factors that led me to this site in the first place, and led to my becoming so invested in the indie scene, especially on PC. If I'm not getting a full game, then why should I pay full price?[/QUOTE]
I understand completely, I myself know someone who was dropped on their head like you! WHAT ARE YOU RAGING ABOUT, do you even know how DLC works??? They do the dlc separately with ppl focused on it alone, dont like paying $5 for a costume? DONT! Nobody said you have to buy every single damn thing for sale... **** you ARE getting the full game at launch, GOD FORBID they release extra content down the road then ask if you want to buy it... Seems real mature to deprive yourself of great games because EVENTUALLY there will be a DLC of some sort. I bought Fallout 3 day one, and all the dlc when it came out, the GOTY didn't come out for over a year afterwards, hmmm a couple bucks, or missing out on a year of fallout 3... if they stopped charging for DLC... THEY WOULD STOP MAKING IT!!! **** get a better argument. Your mentality is you want everything, for free, release day?
