[Post Tenebrae Morte]

Yup, but not free

1200 Microsoft points, likely 15 bucks for Sony Users.

Awesome!

I don't mind paying for it, hell, it's obviously content made after the fact.

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

Yeah I've got no problem paying for it. It's not like it's that on-disc unlock b.s.
The content seems to be a decent amount from what I've heard so yeah, it's good news for sure and I can't wait.

...Winter release though...
...that's...annoying.

 

[hazabaza1]

Cool beans.
I'm okay waiting a couple months, PC users had to wait like... nearly a year or so to get the game itself, so whatevs.

all i got ta say is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Didn't they also say that they would be releasing the PC version on Steam and if you got it there you wouldn't have to use GFWL?

I read it somewhere earlier but haven't heard anything about it since, so it might not be legit. Hope it is though.

I believe your correct.

Yeah, it's true.

Physical copy still has GFWL, but at least the Steam version won't have it.

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.

So I'll have to wait for the Steam Christmas sale then. Curiously though, that article doesn't say whether the Steam release will have GFWL or not, my Steam copy of Fallout 3 had GFWL :/

Just suppose I'll have to wait until after release.

Are you kidding? They're going to complain about the fact that it's not going to be free. That the PC people are getting this content for free, but that they're being forced to have to pay for it. More than likely, they'll mention CD Projekt RED and how they didn't charge under similar circumstances with the Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition. Then somebody will start a petition.

CD Projekt is crazy (in a good way). They really shouldn't complain, because as others have mentioned, it's clearly content made way after the initial release of the game. It's also optional content. Those who're going to complain about it are silly.

Please don't give me the "but people who buy it on pc get it for free!" argument. Those who think that are clearly forgetting that to get the dlc for "free" you'd first have to actually buy the full game.

PC gamers will pay $40, and they'll get the full game AND the extra bits.
Console gamers already paid $40 for the full game, but now they'll have to pay an extra $15 to get the extra bits.

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..)

 

[ultrabiome]

you guys forget that both sony and microsoft force publishers to charge for additional content. when was the last time you got free DLC on consoles besides patches?

 

[Stripes]

Fuck that. So PC gets it for free whilst we have to shell out 1200 MP for it? What a joke, why the hell do they deserve it for free and we dont? I paid the same freaking price they will so why wont I get it for free? Dont try and say you pay more for early access, PC users can only get it just now yet get a better deal for the same price. How is this fair?

PC users were forced to wait, we werent. When it comes out on PC it will have more content for the same price as it was new on consoles. That is not fair. We paid the same as them so why do we not get the same as them?
