Mamoulian War Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Liked your post, despite there being nothing to like about the picture :S Preordered GT6 despite knowing about microtransactions, still fearing how it will ****tyfie and break the balance of the game...

Hurlshort Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I just picked up Assassin's Creed IV on Amazon for $30, seemed like a pretty good deal for a brand new game. It is only on sale for 1 day.
Raithe Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I just picked up Assassin's Creed IV on Amazon for $30, seemed like a pretty good deal for a brand new game. It is only on sale for 1 day. It's hovering at around £26 here in the UK. So with Christmas shopping to be done, I'm trying to avoid taking the plunge just yet... Temptation and all that still.

Lexx Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Gotta love the updated Mona Lisa: It's funny because it's true. I am wondering if this is still true, though. Because I can't remember when I played a game the last time that required a dlc for more information on the main story or something like this. Some games have pre-order dlc which add to the games content, but this is most of the time just minimal stuff that probably could be ignored easily as well. Like the pretty useless armor pre-order dlcs from New Vegas, etc. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Like the pretty useless armor pre-order dlcs from New Vegas, etc. Exactly. It is true that expansions are nearly dead, but they've been replaced by full length sequels developed as quickly as possible instead. That's what you see happening with Assassin's Creed and Saint's Row games. Most DLC is fluff, and the low prices reflect that. They are for people who like fluff. Mass Effect is literally the only game that put out relevant story DLC's, everything else can be skipped without missing a thing. Also the Xcom EXPANSION is phenomenal. It takes the base game and completely supercharges it. 1
alanschu Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Gotta love the updated Mona Lisa: It's funny because it's true. This always frustrates me because it's not really reflective of reality. For instance, the entirety of Tales of the Sword Coast was intended to be a part of the main game of Baldur's Gate. But it was cut from the scope and later readded as an expansion pack. If we were to pick a picture that most reflects this, it'd be "last-gen" since you didn't really get the full Mona Lisa (although there were no exclusives). You just didn't know any better at the time. Edited December 4, 2013 by alanschu
Humanoid Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 So it's more a case of in 1997, you had a canvas painting of the Mona Lisa with a bit of the bottom part chopped off. Today, you get a postage stamp depicting the Mona Lisa, with a bit of the bottom part chopped off. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Malcador Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Also the Xcom EXPANSION is phenomenal. It takes the base game and completely supercharges it. They changed that much ?

Hurlshort Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Also the Xcom EXPANSION is phenomenal. It takes the base game and completely supercharges it. They changed that much ? I wouldn't really say changed. By supercharged I mean they added to the depth of the game. More to do with your troops, more to build, more unique missions.
Mamoulian War Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) But that attitude is now not very common amongst developers/publishers... most of the time it is nickel-and-diming customers for few maps/cars/weapons/skins etc etc...

XCOM is an exception, and it deserves special love for it... maps/cars/weapons/skins are all the definition of superficial fluff. It doesn't affect my playthrough of a game in any way to not have those things. The people responsible for this are the consumers, by the way. If no one bought the first horse armor when it came out in Oblivion, we wouldn't have this trend. It is driven completely by consumer demand.

Hurlshort Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Dragon Derp did it too. How so? Dragon Age released a full expansion. None of the DLC really impacted the story of the main games.
Amentep Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Too many games with "Dragon" in the name - I couldn't figure out what "Dragon Derp" referred to... 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

On the right there are 3 bullet points. Half-Life 3 confirmed! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. I'm mostly surprised they weren't a part of the Linux foundation already. GabeN is obviously banking on Linux to help him make even more money than he's already making, so no surprise there. It would be pretty awesome if they wound up open sourcing some of Steam, but that's a pipe dream.

Orogun01 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Chances are they will end up integrating Open source into Steam OS, but I agree with most points on Gaben's vision. I prefer competition and multiple choices rather than a monopolized industry. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
