i'm surprised they even have the balls to release DLC for this especially DLC you have to pay for
Metascore of 44, and they lied to everyone. Who thought it was a good idea to sell DLC for this? It's actually really insulting.
why would anyone pay for this DLC after A:C M
4 maps. only 4 maps? youre pushing your luck with the remaining fanbase gearbox.
Even if nobody wants this DLC they kind of had to release it due to the fact they sold a DLC Season Pass pre-launch. If they didn't release these they would be in deep shit (Read: deeper shit than right now) because they would have basically made people pay $30 for nothing which doesn't fly in a lot of countries.

Is that because Colonial Marines and it's associated DLC's are considered a warcrime?

I'm just saying you can't sell something for $30 with promises of additional content and not deliver on it. Especially in countries with strong consumer protection laws. Also warcrimes? Nothing video game industry related can even be related to warcrimes. Its just entertainment products after all. Also sorry if my last post seemed incoherent. I only got an hour of sleep last night.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;40560864]Metascore of 44, and they lied to everyone. Who thought it was a good idea to sell DLC for this? It's actually really insulting.[/QUOTE] apparently they get sued if they don't support it with updates and DLC until august :v:
[QUOTE=mixshifter;40560835]i'm surprised they even have the balls to release DLC for this especially DLC you have to pay for[/QUOTE] Well they gotta fill out those season passes somehow.
If I were them I would just make a Blood Dragon-esq dlc built upon irony and embracing the game for the shit it is. Instead they're expanding upon shit
It's pretty fucked up for people who bought it with a season pass, if they would stop making content, so they have to continue.
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;40562410]apparently they get sued if they don't support it with updates and DLC until august :v:[/QUOTE]Because people bought the season pass in which they promised to release four DLC releases by August, they are legally obligated to provide those four DLC.
Surprised they didn't just release these 4 maps one at a time at $10 a pop and say, "Yep DLC season pass promises fulfilled".
Does anyone even play online anymore, or has it already died off?
[QUOTE=-n3o-;40567348]Does anyone even play online anymore, or has it already died off?[/QUOTE]I played Survivor and Bug Hunt a couple of weeks ago and there were some people still playing. I can't really say a lot though.
[QUOTE=-n3o-;40567348]Does anyone even play online anymore, or has it already died off?[/QUOTE] It's dying slowly, no dedicated servers make it even better...on the other side of things AVP2 servers have a increased population
literally no shame
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;40560864]Metascore of 44, and they lied to everyone. Who thought it was a good idea to sell DLC for this? It's actually really insulting.[/QUOTE] Well if you bought the Season Pass already it would be pretty unfair to not get anything, regardless of how shit it is.
They're under contract to release X number of dlc and support the game for like half a year, hence this shitpile.
[QUOTE=Crimor;40568789]They're under contract to release X number of dlc and support the game for like half a year, hence this shitpile.[/QUOTE] Ah the joys of standardized game industry. Even if the game completely bombs, you are obliged to make DLC for it and release a sequel too.
