title is kinda misleading. at least to me. its not 200 a game instead of 60. its getting up to 200 in dlc and micro transactions instead of the one time initial 60.

Thanks Captain Obvious. Exactly why it's not misleading at all. Did you not listen to what he said? If you did would not make such a useless post.

Yes. A useless post that happens to point out the extremely misleading title.

Not misleading at all. He says it right in the video trying to turn a 60$ customer into a 200$ customer meaning they want more than 60$, You just interpret it in one way. You mislead yourself while he directly said exactly what is said. They want you to pay a total of 200$ for games. It's very simple.

 

But since you guys are crying about it and I can actually change my own underwear because mommy wow I'm a big boy now I can change my own topic title. I don't need a mod to. :P

 

Smiley edited in in case you take it as anger like some do.

Ohmigosh! Ubisoft wants me to buy their DLC? That's pretty crazy.

I don't really get it. I usually hate DLC. All DLC, even if it's "substantial" or "adds something new to the game."(in fact that makes it feel even worse because then it feels like I'm actually missing something good but I still don't want to pay extra) One of the main reasons I haven't bought Fire Emblem Awakening is because the DLC costs more than the game(the other being that the game hasn't dropped in price much.) but I don't see the problem with the microtransactions.

 

It seems like a shortcut rather than a bonus and that doesn't bother me. Regardless I probably won't be getting the game any time soon because the PS4 and Xbone are still carp and I don't even want to pay 60$ for the game. These AAA games take a drastic drop in price in like two months. I think I got ACIV for 30$ in like January or December...maybe February...I forget...and that's all I spent on it. It released in October.

 

Basically. Duh they want my money, but I don't get why I should be bothered. So some people get to waste money on upgrades in a game where upgrades barely matter, and there's probably a freely unlockable version of the same upgrades. Unless I'm supposed to be worried about "the future of gaming" or some carp. Meh. For someone who spent hundreds of hours pressing left and right in Pokemon to get the best stats I doubt unlocking this gear the hard way will bother me...but I probably won't bother cuz AC gear barely matters. Then again if Pokemon added microtransactions for that I'd be pretty upset...but I'm already pretty upset with how they made the games so...yeah. AC upgrades are way easier/less tedious to get.

 

After reading what I wrote...I sure am a weird guy...

DLC used to be known as Expansion packs but it was often like getting a whole new game for free or a cheaper price.

Want some good modern examples of what used to be Expansion packs it's Metal Gear Rising Jetstream Sams story and the Dogs story. Both free and each give you a couple extra hours and really add to the game. It expands the game.

 

Problem is these days most DLC is handled liked this

Back in the old PC days like early 90's when you had shareware some big PC franchises were born out of Expansion packs Now days it's as the chart shows.

how much of that 140(not including the actual game price) is microtransactions vs dlc.

I just don't like DLC. Dark Souls Artorias of the Abyss DLC is like an expansion but I still don't want to pay for it. The event Pokemon that Gamefreak release are free but I still hate them because they're disclocked content and you have to wait years for them with only a month to download, or go to Gamestop. Expansion packs? Probably would have hated those too unless they were free and available forever. I also don't remember many games with expansion packs back then, but I never really played on PC...or off Nintendo.

As far as fe:a is concerned, you don't have to buy the extra maps in order to enjoy it, It's already huge so you don't actually miss a lot of things.
