Dead Space 3 price list.
- Thread starter Daygall65
- Start date
The answer to that is Project 10$. All EA games require 10 dollars worth of DLC to be shipped with new copies so as to discourage sales of used games over new copies.Nightmonger said:
OT: I don't really see any difference with this and the guns and suits that both Dead Space 1 and 2 sold for approximately the same prices. Both are really stupid to buy since it really destroys the early game atmosphere which, while not terrifying could still feel oppressive at times. Getting top level stuff from the start just ruins that, so I won't be using the microtransactions, just as I didn't buy any gun or suitpacks for Dead Space 1 or 2.
Sadly I'm just not surprised. Is anyone around here anymore? Sheesh. EA might be the worst, but it seems this is a thing now and I ain't buying into it. Last (and only) DLC I bought was the map pack for Gears of War 2, and in all fairness I got a shitload of stuff for what I paid. £15 for something like 20-30 maps. I'd rather not have to pay that, but at least I used em. This crap though? This is pathetic, to a comedic level.
Join hands with me people, and wish for a day when mass micro-transactions are a thing of the past.

Money grubbing S O B s. The game should be free if they want to go down this road and then u an buy all this other random shit.
DLC is the biggest rip-off of all time. You pay top price and you can't sell it later, it sits on your hard drive and has no resale value (I would also argue that it has no value at all)
If EA wants to pull this kind of crap the game should not be full price.

So the publisher that said $60 is too much for a new game is charging $90 for this one?
Interesting.

Pretty much my thoughts. The last two games had weapon and suit packs so I'm wondering why people are taking issue with it this late. Only thing new here is the resource packs which only really allow for more crafting options earlier in the game. Not exactly vital stuff here guys.Rednog said:
All I know is that I am not paying for any of it so it has absolutely zero effect on my game. If there are people stupid or lazy enough to throw money at EA for stuff you can get for free in the game, then thats up to them.
Maybe they'd also be interested in paying me to come around and play the game for them.

Same. We'll see, I guess. This has seriously become the ultimate test of whether consumers will accept or reject several different new "alternative revenue streams" for publishers. Whether this game succeeds or fails, I feel like it's going to be a huge bellweather and enormously influential on the path AAA development walks in the future.ShinyCharizard said:
Dead Space is a good game and a fine franchise, but with all the baggage that has been attached to it... there's nothing I want more than to see this game fucking crash and burn.
Honestly I couldn't care one way or the other, but I still can't see how to get the message "don't pull this crap " Across to EA. If we don't buy it, the franchises we love get shit canned to be never looked at again, and the pricing models stay the same.
Or we buy it and don't buy the addon packs and EA being EA might just sit there and go...
"OH THEY WON'T BUY OUR STUFF IF WE DON'T PUT IT ALL IN AT THE START! WELL OK NOW WE'LL JUST TAKE 3 YEARS TO DEV ANYTHING*AcceptSportsstuffs*and we'll charge $100 for the game cause extra stuffs"
Or maybe I'm just a cynical jaded mean-spirited person, that can't see the trees for the forest anymore...
EDIT: Just thought of something else, and excuse EA might try to use.
"Well we didn't charge as much as the F2P models normally do EG: Star Trek Online charging $25 per GOOD ship and $5 for the utter crap. We let you have the REALLY GOOD shit for $4 Aren't we so nice :3 *happy faces and hugs all around"
I can seriously see this happening... Or again, maybe I'm just a mean person...
