Buy the game. Then buy it another time because fuck it, you didn't give us enough of your money.
And that was the last "bad-decisions-for-this-francise"-nail in the coffin.
(Along with coop, the anime, reducing horror etc.)
Pay real money to upgrade weapons in a single player/Co-Op game?
Awesome.
Goodbye dead space. We'll miss you.
Don't like Co-op? Play singleplayer.
Don't like microtransactions? Don't buy them.
Don't like dodge rolls? Don't use them.
Don't like human enemies? What did you expect, we've been fucking up the Church and Earth Gov's plans from day one.
I'm still buying this, and I imagine a lot of people saying the game is 'ruined' will as well. Every year we have a dozen cases of this.

I agree with all except the bolded part. While it could turn out to not be an issue at all, I fear that EA will make it tedious to skip paying so you'll have to grind for things.

The anime was good, nearly not as terrible as Paragon Lost.
And EA wonders why people pirate their games.
I mean I understand microtransactions in a F2P game, but I'd never imagine I'd see it in Dead Space 3 of all games.
What a cheap way to try and get more cash.
[QUOTE=Dejarie;39314281]Don't like Co-op? Play singleplayer.[/quote]
What if the singleplayer is built around co-op, and thus will suffer from it?
[QUOTE=Dejarie;39314281]Don't like dodge rolls? Don't use them.[/quote]
What if the gameplay and/or specific enemies have been built around their usage, and the game will become impossible without it?

I don't see what place shooty human enemies have in a The Thing-esque survival horror franchise
[QUOTE=Dejarie;39314281]I'm still buying this, and I imagine a lot of people saying the game is 'ruined' will as well. Every year we have a dozen cases of this.[/QUOTE]
I'll probably try it out but I'm not exactly hopeful at the moment.
So this is like, a full $60 game, right
And they have microtransactions for items that'll be in the disk since day one, and you probably won't get additional content unless you spend an amount of money on a DLC pack, then grind/buy your way into those parts, right
yeah great ideas, [I]love them.[/I]
And I don't like the whole "don't complain, you can just grind for five hours and get the items for free!!! or not use them at all!!!" because that's not really an acceptable excuse and it's enabling companies to make that grind even more tedious so more people shell out the cash to skip it, or literally saying that you shouldn't use a gameplay element that is included in your game just because you don't want to pay extra money on top of the $50-$60 you already paid for all of the data.
I don't know, I think that shit like this is outrageous and that people who say otherwise are letting companies get away with even more of this shit.

Which doesn't make them any less out of place next to all the necromorph forms in the series, who can all get by without a limb at least.
They're not challenging, interesting or fun to fight in practice. Now, Oracles on the other hand, the creepy 'hands of blue' agents at the top level of the EarthGov-Unitology conspiracy? There's an enemy which could have been used sparingly, for greater effect.
It was a good difficulty curve having to save up credits to improve weapons. This is stupid.
Not the reason I've given up on this game though. DS 1 was amazing, DS 2 was a bit more divisive, bit I like the expansion of the levels and how even if allies were in view, you were always alone.
DS3 just keeps getting worse. Unnecessary co-op, stupid controls and actions and now money-grabbing.
To me it's not just about not using aspects of the game which are probably necessary for completion.
I'm a bit of a story and production admirer, and it looks like EA have over complicated it for the sake of sales (fair enough, they're a business and I hate the hardcore vs. casual gamer crap) and cheapness. Very little atmosphere in what I've seen compared to the first 2 games.
Does EA ever just step back and look at what they are doing?
When will people realise that COOP IS COMPLETLY OPTIONAL?
If you want to play alone, fine. No silly AI companion and shit like that. Carter will only show up at certain random points of the game and will not be permanently with you.
What happened to cheat codes? being able to unlock all weapons and various other things?
You'd have to be fucking [B]dumb[/B] to pay real money for resources to craft fake weapons
Even if the resources are rare as shit and it takes forever to grind its better than buying them
Hell, you could just go into Cheat Engine and give yourself a million of the bloody things instantly

It's not about it being optional. It's that they put time into making it that could have gone into making the game better. This also encourages them to continue doing this kind of stuff.

I think they're counting on the player to be dumb enough to buy it. It wouldn't exist if there wasn't a market for it.

This is horrible and you shouldn't do any of this. The game is clearly based around co-op and dodge rolls. Human enemies completely takes all atmosphere out of the game and microtransactions in a plot-driven game (or any game imo) isn't something we should have to ignore.
Just because you can close your eyes and ignore the awful, awful decisions certainly doesn't mean you should.
This is shit in a bottle.

if you don't like ME3's ending, just turn off the game at the ending
Do you remember that time where if you wanted all the equipment in a game you could either enter a cheatcode or open the command consolle and type something in to make a rocket launcher pop out of nowhere?
Good times.

I think there's a decent chunk of customers in general and fans especially that want to vote responsibly with their money against EA making these decisions in the first place. They may be able to ignore them for now, but if Dead Space 3 proves to be reeeaally successful, they'll feel their decisions were fully embraced and next time there's no need to make them optional, or they can at least put a lot more emphasis on them. If you extend your long term perspective even further, consider the possible impact on the horror genre in general.
Money simply is the strongest customer feedback EA can get.

Mass Effect 3 had microtransactions. Where was the shitstorm back then and where were the people complaining about it?
