You are spoiled by the kindness game companies offered in years past. They include these fun little extras for free, and you now expect the same from games today. The game has changed and you don't like the changes. So you shout and complain and want things to go back to the way they were. Like a bitter kermudgeny old fart.
And you're one of the very sheep-minded sort that allows this to happen. How many more times will you see things like "RE5: Gold" and "Hokuto Musou International", package deals that are released upwards of 6-12 months after the original release (and often includes said original release's DLC as part of the updated package deal, all for less), before you understand that DLC is just a marketing scam directed towards the early adopter "Day 1" crowd?
And I like how you basically tried to equate DLC to auxiliary things that can be outfitted on a car, when in truth, this is more along the lines of how a next generation model of an automobile has lost features that may have been a
default feature in the previous one. For example, if you're a fan of a luxury sports car, such as a Lexus LS, you would come to expect certain things being part of the package deal, even before we start talking about adding on more luxury options, am I right? Do you honestly think Lexus buyers would not be the least bit perturbed, if they lost out on some of the creature features they've come to expect, historically?
Imagine if Lexus introduced a 2013 Lexus LS model that sported only
4 gears, when most models on the market today sport
8, at least. And worst yet, getting the 8 gears that you are used to is now an "additional luxury" item that you have to pay extra in order to get. Lexus would get laughed right off the trade show floor, and their devoted customers would (rightfully) feel that Lexus is trying to gyp them of features that they've been used to for years now.
Video games, as well as the consoles they are played on, are just as much of a luxury item. And as a longtime consumer of such luxury items, YES, I am quite disappointed that some developers are trying to short-change us content that, once upon a time (re: up to a generation ago), were default features, along with whatever "extra frills" they want to add on later.
Oh yeah, and quit reminding us of the leaked list the guy posted on Neogaf. We get it, it's very likely to be true. But what the hell do you care? This is a game you don't even care about. You have nothing to gain if the list is indeed correct. So stop riding that guy's dick and shut up about games you don't even play.
No, how about
you stowing all that, Sato.
First of all, in both instances that I posted said list, I spoiler'd it and linked it to its original sources. Meaning, if you didn't want to see it, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO OPEN IT, much less actually comment on it...
Secondly, and what I think is the better question to ask: why the hell do
you care that I supposedly don't care? (If anything, my recent posts should do more to suggest that I DO care through my dissent; but that's another matter altogether.)
In any case, last I checked, there was no such rule in the TOS relating to anything along the lines of: "If you're not part of the circle jerk bandwagon, don't post in the topic". Furthermore, last I checked, you're not a mod. Therefore, you have NO authority to tell me what to do whatsoever. So, either get a mod or the admin if I'm supposedly that "out of order", or kindly get to steppin' if you some how can't tolerate a non-trolling, noninflammatory voice of dissent.
Yes and no. I see you bringing it back to MvsC, but everyone is still mainly taking about the + and - of DLC. Oh and sandwiches.... I get hungry reading this thing. =p I don't mean it shouldn't be talked about and I know it relates to MvsC but I think we can get a great topic going on DLC alone. I know I would enjoy reading it. Plus I can jump in too because I have been around long enough to be one of those people that have bought every version of street fighter across many platforms and talk about how I think DLC made that easier on me.... rather my wallet
Well, hey, if you want to see it? Feel free to take the first step, man. If it's just going to be another joke topic like a certain other Sonic-themed thread, though, count me out...
