I'm just trying to figure out how having a Geth on your side is supposed to make sense while fighting the synthetic bastards.

We get it, Bioware is Satan and has plans to murder the world via $10 dollar optional DLC. You can stop banging on about it now.Zeel said:Better start saving up Jimmy.Windu23 said:I would like to co-sign this. With glitter text. But I won't. Because it would be an eye sore.Jennacide said:Dear Bioware,
if you charge for this, you are assholes. If this doesn't come with more maps, you are assholes. If you haven't even considered adding more enemy types, you are giant assholes.
And most importantly, if you do the typical Bioware thing and don't intend to patch/rebalance the multiplayer, you need to be ruined. Seriously, the MP is still a buggy mess, with people constantly falling through the world, enemies going immune to damage, skills not firing when clicked on (especially with Biotic Charge, getting Vanguards killed), horrible difficulty scaling from bronze to silver to gold, assault rifles being almost uniformly garbage when compared to heavy pistols, and the soldier class being nearly worthless. Seriously, AR without the time dilation (I realize it had to go for MP) it so beyond shit, especially when you compare it to how stupidly overpowered Energy Drain, Stasis, Sabotage, and Cluster Grenades are.
But, being able to play a Geth infiltrator would make me soooooooooooo happy.
You can mow my lawn if you want.
I wouldnt be surprised if they charged 10 dollars per character.
ZEEL! You're back! Hey! Break out the party hats!Zeel said:Does anyone doubt that this will cost them an additional 10 dollars? maybe even 15? You guys have been reeled in. They aren't going to stop cashing you guys in.
And you only have yourselves to blame.
Color me curious... in what was is calling a bunch of people who think - nay, demand - that they be given content at no additional charge anything but a case of entitlement? According to Merriam-Webster:Atmos Duality said:I should keep a running tally for each instance someone misuses the word "entitlement" in an argument against DLC.
are we sure this isn't backwards?Adept would include the Krogan Battlemaster, and Vanguard would accommodate the Asari Justicar,

Pay special attention to the word "BELIEF", it completely undermines "entitlement" as an objective argument.The.Bard said:Color me curious... in what was is calling a bunch of people who think - nay, demand - that they be given content at no additional charge anything but a case of entitlement? According to Merriam-Webster:
Definition of ENTITLEMENT (pay special attention to #3):
3: belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges
Most of the arguments against the DLC rely upon "the belief that the buyer is deserving of or entitled to" the privilege of cost-free DLC. Thus, entitlement.
I'm absolutely on the same page with you in regards to it being a useless argument. I have long advocated that those who don't like it should voice their complaints by not buying it and stop complaining, and those who do like it should buy it and enjoy in peace.Atmos Duality said:Pay special attention to the word "BELIEF", it completely undermines "entitlement" as an objective argument.The.Bard said:Color me curious... in what was is calling a bunch of people who think - nay, demand - that they be given content at no additional charge anything but a case of entitlement?

Here's the real "controversy":
"This DLC is overpriced, and is making the game cost more."
"No, it isn't. You're acting entitled. Shut the fuck up."
What gets defined as "extra"? Who sets the standards? The customer? The Publisher? Well, if we blindly accept the Publisher, then expecting anything more than an opening crawl and a credits roll could be interpreted as "Entitled" too.
If we blindly accept the customer, then the game ought to not only include all the content, but be free of charge as well.
It's a revolving door of useless argumentation. Two sides screaming uselessly at each other over something that does not have a definitive "right" or "wrong" answer.
Hence, why using "entitlement" as an objective argument is absolute bullshit, and using it as a catty insult is nothing more than trolling.
EDIT: Upon re-consideration. I see how this would go in circles.The.Bard said:While I admire your ability to argue semantics, you are still arguing semantics.
This isn't funny at all, the Escapist should censor that word and replace "entitled" by "educated".Kalezian said:pictures of this DLC already on the disk or I call bullshit on the grounds of self-entitled gamer Bawww"ing syndrome.
What about sex with a Krogan Battlemaster? Maybe you shouldn't answer that.Doc Theta Sigma said:... Hell yes Krogan Battlemaster. Oh god this is better than sex.
