Gary Gough vs Microsoft Points

[mushupork3mpire]

I am not a fan of the Microsoft points system and how the downloadable content for my favourite game, thats Mass Effect 2 is only available through this insulting credits gumbo. Some games (like the Grand Theft Auto IV episodes) sell content specific MS points amounts in stores but not all, which i find irritating. Does anyone else dislike these ways?

It is designed to get you to buy more points than you need. It is rubbish but Microsoft is a business and well, they need to make money on top of my subscription!

If you don't like it, just wait until the GotY edition of whatever game, it's most likely have all the DLC.

I don't dislike it, it comes in handy every now and again. After I bought Limbo, thanks to the leftovers, I had enough to buy a Save Carmine T-Shirt.

....While I do not agree with the shirt you have bough, I will defend to the death your right to wear it =P

In all seriousness, Clay just looks to cool to kill. I liked Tai as a character and when he died, (In the most anti-climatic way and completely destroying the whole point of me raiding the prision ship) I kinda felt like Epic kinda ran out of an idea of where to take him.

Besides, it would make things different.

Yeah Microsoft points are bullshit, and should be illegal.

I think if the game companies are going to release maybe 1 or 2 dlcs then yeah, but in the case of ME2 theres like 5 weapon packs 3 mission packs and more on the way. I would have got most for free but i bought the game preowned, in hindsight a bad move. Normally i wouldnt even consider downloadable mission packs, but when bioware used the words "bridge the gap between the 2nd and 3rd games" then i kinda feel like i have to. And have you seen this thing where if you buy preowned you cant go online multiplayer? Total bullcrap!

Really? I think it was a "good" way for him to die, it really makes you think about how horrible the locust's torture must be if even Tai breaks. And as Marcus said himself: "Tai can survive anything". Heck, he even fought that big chainsaw guy! (PS: I got really pissed at Dizzy for just standing there watching while Tai was chainsaw dueling him.)

I want Carmine to die because it has become a tradtion that the Carmine brothers die in war, and I wonder what kind of death Epic can cook up for him, I do hope he dies all the way in the end though! (First one died pretty much at the start, second in the middle...)
