That's one element of the game that makes use of dynamic lighting. It doesn't mean that the game will use it where it counts... As an always functioning atmospheric tool.

Apparently a negative from the IGN review was "Unpredictable Alien AI."
You know, one of the main things the game has been advertising.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46140810]Because I don't like it when a company demands 50 euros for a game (64 euros with the season pass) and will only give you large portions of content already created and ready for the game if you decide to buy it blindly before it even came out.
If it's a bunch of cosmetic shit or another game for free or something then it's fine, if you outright cut a full blown mission out of the game just to try and convince people to buy your game before it came out then go eat a cock.[/QUOTE]
Are you serious? Are you actually... [I]serious[/I]? "large portions of content" then suddenly next paragraph: "full blown mission". First of all, it's a set of two missions, one is coming out later than the other as part of it (or so I have been led to believe), get your facts straight. You wouldn't complain about someone beating to the lunch line for pizza and getting the last slice before you, now would you?
If (as the comment you previously made implies) you're so worried about "blindly" buying a game because it may be terrible (*COUGH*ALIENS:CM*COUGH*) then why are you getting up in such a hissy fit over buying more possibly terrible content for a possibly terrible game!? No one complains when Firaxis does this with Beyond Earth and its Exoplanets map pack, no one complains when you have to "blindly" buy a T-shirt off the internet with no idea of the condition it may become during transit.
Your argument over "already created and ready" is stupid because you have no idea about the way it was originally designed for the game.
"Oh boy! Evil EA, SEGA and Ubisoft, they always make this content in the preorder [B][I]explicitly[/I][/B] for the final retail version of the game and cut it out, not like they made it as a bonus for pre-orderers!"
It's perfectly fair. You pre-order, you get it early. You come late, you buy it late. If you so desperately want the content, you either buy it or not. You never signed a contract with a game company stating that you are entitled to [B]this[/B], [I]this[/I] and [U]this[/U] for buying the game late.
Get over it.

I shouldn't have to rush like a retard to get a game in its entirety just because the publishers have decided to cut some parts out and basically use it as a bargain chip - "either buy the game now before it's even out or pay extra for it two months after release" is not a strategy you can legitimately defend.
Also, yeah, if the content turns out to be shit for a game that's shit, then I'll be glad I haven't preordered it. If it turns out to be good content for a good game, then I guess all I can do is go fuck myself because I didn't accept Sega's massive financial cock up my ass, right ? No, fuck that. I shouldn't have to put up with that shit.
Moreover, buying a game after release is not buying a game "late", it's buying a game "when it's fucking done and released". It's you who's biting the bait for buying the game before release at a time where the only way to make an opinion of the game is through shady game journalism and heavily edited footage.

I'm also not going to give reason to Sega and other publishers. If they want to sell their games with shitty tactics like this, then I'm not going to buy it until it drops to five bucks during sales, because fuck giving any more money to these people.[/QUOTE]
Actually, if you go to your Account Transactions page, there should be a button under the Pre-order entry to Refund. It used to be that you needed to submit a support ticket but they changed it back in January.

Not that I'm agreeing with the guy, I don't think you should pre-order unless you absolutely plan to buy a game no matter what the reception is anyway, but why are you so certain this particular piece of DLC was a part of the game that was cut out?
imo preorders should only be used just in case the game might be out of stock. There shouldn't have to be extra content because you decided to give your money to the developers early. It's a garbage practice and it shouldn't exist because you're basically relying on usually corrupt game journalism and e3 demos that only show the good things about the game which may or may not look like the final product. It's not like you can return the game. Most online and store retailers don't have a return policy on games you've played.
Saying really stupid shit like "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BUY IT" just means you've accepted this bullshit practice.

It's a full blown mission. They've put enough effort into this to actually bother getting the actors to play their role in the mission. It's finished in time to be available at the time of release as a preorder bonus.
It was either cut out of the game or it was always intended as a preorder bonus, eitherway it's bullshit because that amount of content should not be separated from the base title just to secure more purchases in case the game turns out shit and people want out.
Preorder bonuses should be limited to cosmetic stuff and games given for free. See how you got Civ V when preordering XCOM and how you got XCOM for preordering Bioshock Infinite.

Its less about the fact you arent forced and you have the choice and etc... the same bullshit parroted everytime someone has a problem with shit like this.
Its anti-consumer, and it IS forcing you take that leap of faith of the preorder to get it without paying extra, and we all know how fun it is getting a "refund"(if you can even call it that) is on steam if its shit.
If something is being released on the release day and its missions/trials/campaigns, anything GAMEPLAY related(not silly cosmetics but that is still argubly anti-consumer) then yeah, I 100% think that needs to come with the fully priced game, its obvious they are ready to be shipped day 1 because they are.
Its fucking appalling that you want to defend these type of business practices when they do NOTHING but hurt consumers.

As I mentioned after, it doesn't matter if the content was "cut" or simply designed to be sold separately, if it was completed before the game was released then put it in the base game, if it needs an extra week to be put in the game then take that extra week. Post-release patches and content releases exist.
The entire strategy revolves around forcing the customer to buy stuff blindly or with as little actual information as possible. It's a scumbag tactic and it needs to go die, set in place by the corporate execs at publishers who just want to milk a franchise without actually giving a shit or even knowing what the consumers like or are ready to pay for. See how A4 Games was essentially forced to add a preorder bonus in their game and solved the issue by cutting Ranger mode out of the game.
