EA pulls A Capcom: New Video Shows Mass Effect 3 Day-One DLC Already On Disc - Polidicks

Of course it was, we've known about the dlc since last summer.

you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.

[quote=Legend286]Sometimes publishers release expansion packs as dlc though, such as with Bethesda or Rockstar. But you can certainly tell they aren't DLC quality.[/quote]

[QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE] Lets enable every sidequest for the player for 1$ each. You don't need to do the sidequests and they would be cheap. What's to bitch about? Holy fuck, that's scary as shit. I hope I'm not giving them any ideas.

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;35100765]Bethesda didn't make the New Vegas DLC, and three? Not so good.

[QUOTE=thisispain;35100804]bethesda definitely spear-headed the DLC. [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] i don't really the difference beyond pointless semantics.[/QUOTE] Expansion packs completely new locations, storylines and objects, dlc has horse armor. Obviously Bethesda released their stuff as DLC, and in my opinion it was DLC compared to Oblivion's expansions.

[QUOTE=thisispain;35100804]bethesda definitely spear-headed the DLC.[/QUOTE] Pretty much the only thing that Bethesda specified was the amount of DLC that they'd be making: the design concepts and execution were original by obsidian. Sawyer went on at great length about the process behind them (especially the weapon pack, which didn't have a warm reception)

Bioware confirmed that they are framework files to allow for seamless integration, not the dlc itself.

[QUOTE=redBadger;35101242]Bioware confirmed that they are framework files to allow for seamless integration, not the dlc itself.[/QUOTE] Several hundred megabyte framework files that people have PROVED contain dlc and you can unlock it, so obviously Bioware are lying and it's not the first time they've done that.

[QUOTE=Legend286;35101284]Several hundred megabyte framework files that people have PROVED contain dlc and you can unlock it, so obviously Bioware are lying and it's not the first time they've done that.[/QUOTE] Yet people are still buying it in the millions. Sure it ethically sucks but its a rather effective business strategy. Sure i will get dumbs, but hey truth hurts.

[QUOTE=redBadger;35101400]Yet people are still buying it in the millions. Sure it ethically sucks but its a rather effective business strategy. Sure i will get dumbs, but hey truth hurts.[/QUOTE]No doubt it's effective but it makes them a bunch of fucking asswipes. In fact I bet Bioware is going to eventually end up releasing the "real" ending for something around $10-20. Ethical in the slightest? Hell no. Effective as a way of getting even more money from die-hard fans? You bet. People [I]will [/I]buy it, that much is true, and they know that.

The picture you get when you look up 'business' in the dictionary is a fat, hairy ass with money coming out of the cracks. Theres a political cartoon idea right there

[QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE]You're missing the entire point dummy.

[QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE] Content blocked from a 50 dollar product for more money does not make a good name.

[QUOTE=redBadger;35101400]Yet people are still buying it in the millions. Sure it ethically sucks but its a rather effective business strategy. Sure i will get dumbs, but hey truth hurts.[/QUOTE] Why would the sales stop the moment the dlc was proven to be on the disc? And it's a great business strategy, especially since many many games are bought with parents' money and since there are people having this weird attitude like "omygod thanks bioware for releasing games you are so generous. And you can overprice your games as much as you want, I can't complain". Because that's all what day 1 dlc is. It's overpricing your game in a clever way. Think about it. You make a game, you cut off a small part of it, the more appealing the better (like the fucking prothean). You sell the bigger part of the game as full game and then you sell the part that you've cut out for additionally 10$. It's very clever and people who, well don't have enough brain to process it, don't see it as overpricing at all. And yeah you don't have to buy it. You don't have to buy anything, including the fucking game.

[QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE] Oh I'm so sorry I don't have as much disposable income as you, so sorry that I'm not rich and snobby enough to afford to be ripped off and not care. Expensive is a relative term, also it compounds with everything on top of it. By your logic that item that's five payments of 19.99 isn't even that expensive because it's 19.99, regardless of the number of payments.

[QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE] This post is a work of genius. Seriously, preface any statement with 'You guys are so bitchy' and anything after it is by default retarded, despite the contents. for instance lets take a look at the posts contents as posted by someone who wasn't retarded: "The DLC isn't that expensive, I don't see why it is a problem." now your post [QUOTE=doopo6;35100753]you guys are so bitchy. its not even expensive for christs sake.[/QUOTE] by simply failing to omit that statement you've invalidated your own post and painted yourself an asshole despite having a legitimate opinion and dragged everyone down to your level. Genius

It's still a great game

DLC should follow two criteria if you want people to accept you: - Be [b]conceived[/b] after release, not before - Be priced according to the amount of effort put into it A reskin of a vanilla gun should only be one dollar MAYBE. An entire game area should be around ten. Anything conceived before release, regardless of effort or what stage of development it was in on release day, should be free, whether included in the base game via patch or available as free DLC is of no concern.

They should allow you to head back to Vancouver, or another city. They made Earth last so it won't be much of a visit.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;35102227]Go fuck yourself, this makes everything worse.[/QUOTE] No.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;35102227]Go fuck yourself, this makes everything worse.[/QUOTE] Examples of "makes everything worse" please.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;35102227]Go fuck yourself, this makes everything worse.[/QUOTE]So it's alright for them to omit content that was already in the game in order to sell it back to us for an easy buck?

[QUOTE=Killer900;35102867]So it's alright for them to omit content that was already in the game in order to sell it back to us for an easy buck?[/QUOTE] You seriously think that piracy is going to help us win that argument? and no I don't

[QUOTE=hexpunK;35099881][b]Holy shit it's like you're being a retard on purpose.[/b] There is a difference between entertainment and media, and consumables. Stop making shit comparisons.[/QUOTE] The irony of this statement. You're defending the ability of stripping consumer (read: HUMAN) rights away. It doesn't matter if it's allowed in court (which it's not), what matters is the morals behind it; and this doesn't have any.
