Gen Chat 03: The Laughing man

ok. Other than that it sucks paying more I don't see the problem? Its the equivalent of bitching that gas prices have gone up. Gas used to be $1.50 a gallon, the normal now is $3.50. We are actually lucky that the game industry has been able to keep it at 60 for so long. DLC is just one way they are able to coupe with current climate of the business.

Bottom line. Everything in the last 20 years has gotten more expensive. Why is it that when it comes to gaming they don't get a pass?

You might say, well I paid 60 I expect to get the full game. You are getting the full game as they intended it. DLC is extra content that just sweetens the deal.

Its like if you went out to buy a car. They will tell you its 30K. But if you want it full option its 40K. I don't see people bitching out the extra 10K they have to pay to get the full option version of their car.

here is no game that has DLC that is the equivalent of not getting rear doors >.>.

I don't see the problem with announcing the DLC before hand? It means they are actually putting some time and thought into it instead of just rushing some shit out to make a quick buck. Just because it was announced before the release of the game doesn't mean it was taken out of them game. Thats not how game making works. You should know that from TC lol.

Games lunching broken? Yeah thats unacceptable and the only reason it happens is because publishers tend to be very hard on developers when it comes to time frames. Shit needs to stop.

Uh... The fuck?
If they got DLC to announce for a game in development, they got time to put that in the damn game at the start. While it may not be rushing, it is without a doubt an attempt to make a quick buck.
These people with short attention spans are just being exploited to spending more money. Period.
Sad part is, it works... And devs are taking full advantage of this by subtracting content from the game and announcing it as DLC.
How ingenious. Devs are so lucky to get blind supporters for this practice.

I dunno if it's even blind supporters, the overwhelmingly vast majority of the gaming community does not give a fuck, period. :\

That's the sad part. When I was protesting the cost of MKX's DLC pack, people literally just kept telling me to shut up, deal with it, or don't buy it. Most common argument was "It's not going away so why are you bitching?

Silly folks. It's all a matter of time until Activision pops up with Scenario DLC that's 20$ a pop just to clear the Story Mode.
Or charge you per multiplayer game mode.

Oh, but you know what? WE'LL JUST FUCKING DEAL WITH IT, right?

I dunno what's sadder, that, or that they've been doing that for several years now and people aren't complaining.

Remember when Konami decided to cancel Silent Hills and we came together for a good cry? I hope that was as therapeutic for you as it was for me, and if it wasn’t what you needed, this story may be silly enough to give you a laugh or two.

Some folks have recently started selling their PS4s with the P.T. demo pre-installed, because as of today, it’s no longer available to download from the PlayStation Store. P.T., as I’m sure you remember, was the “playable teaser” that was used to announce Silent Hills.

Some of the listings are going for as much as $1,500, so the previously free demo is suddenly worth quite a lot of money. If that price tag doesn’t scare you, I’d recommend investing in more worthwhile opportunities, like anything.
