Ouch, I was hoping to pick up a cheaper physical copy a few weeks after release but I do not want to live with GFWL.Irridium said:
Sort of like how GOTY edition isn't it. You buy the full game early and later on people can get the game and all the DLC that comes out for the same price. At least it isn't as bad as New Vegas (the GOTY edition is cheaper than all the DLC combined..)Buretsu said:
How bout no? People arent forced to play on PC they choose to. They know that it is generally a more expensive platform and they are willing to foot the bill for it. Consoles are certainly cheaper but that doesnt mean they deserve higher prices in DLC and games because of it. If you take hardware out of the equation you will see that PC is getting more for the same price, no matter when you buy it on consoles no matter what price oyu buy it at it is inherently more expensive to get the full game on console.Greyah said:
I love how any questioning of a well liked developer/publisher is instantly regarded as entitlement. The content was made after console release, no one is disputing that. However the game will be priced the same as any PC game, it is not inherently more expensive on PC yet it gets more content. How am I entitled to ask for the same treatment bestowed upon PC gamers? It is dismissive dicks like you who stop any form of legitimate criticism being recognised as such. I have nothing against the DLC being free on PC and I think its great PC gamers have the game, however I am simply asking why PC gamers receive an inherently better deal than console gamers. If they released content on consoles for free yet charged PC gamers I am inclined to believe many here would be singing a different tune. PC gamers wrongly receive unequal attention and treatment from devs/publishers, yet when console gamers receive similar unequal treatment we are apparently entitled for questioning it. If you want equality you have to support it even when you dont directly benefit.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
Take it up with Microsoft or Sony then. I don't know about Sony myself, but I know for a fact that Microsoft makes people charge for DLC on Xbox Live. It's the same reason Valve was stopped from giving away Portal 2 DLC to people who have the game on the 360 while PC players got it free. If anything, you should be glad you're able to get the DLC anyway, since for a while it looked like it was only gonna be for the PC version to make up for the wait people had to go through.Stripes said:
Dont try and claim this is a result of the pricing structure. I bought the game new at £40 on the day of release. When it comes out and PC gamers do the same they will have more content waiting for them yet they will have paid the same price. You recieved it later certainly, however no matter what price or what time a console gamer buys the game now it will have less content than a PC version at the same price. Anyway, why are you so adament console gamers dont deserve the same deal, this is pretty clear cut. PC gamers get a better deal at any price, that is preferential treatment and it isnt fair. I am not entitled for wanting everyone to have the same treatment regardless of platform.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
It wasn't fair that PC gamers had to wait a year. Stop complaining, you got your DLC. I own Dark Souls on 360, and I will gladly pay for the DLC. Hell, I might even buy it on PC as well, who knows. Microsoft and Sony force developers to charge for content on consoles, so they really don't have a choice in this matter.Stripes said:
It is content clearly made after the game came out. Why shouldn't they charge for it? Including it for free on the PC port is obviously to help sells on that platform.Stripes said:
I see your point however dont the people who have already bought it deserve a thank you as well? Could it not be a thank you for making their game very profitable already? Microsoft does force many devs to charge for DLC for whatever reason but if that was the reason they didnt need to charge this much, which is a significant price for DLC. If they were forced to charge for it they could have charged a lot less, leading me to believe they are charging of their own volition. Im unhappy that the PC gets an inherently better deal and im getting quite irritated with all the elitists who tell me that I should accept inequality when its on consoles yet throw a fit when consoles receive (equally wrong) preferential treatment. I simply want the same deal for the same price, I just want equality and many seem to think equality only matters when it effects them.blizzaradragon said:
