Disk locked content is a scam, there's no doubt about that. But stuff that isn't on the disk? Well that's not part of the product, that's an extra that you may or may not be charged for.Zeel said:You dont understand the issue. Being "forced" into it is only half the issue. THe fact is, any content on the disc should be fully accessible to everyone. Just because you don't know its there, doesn't excuse the practice. Plus i'd be a kidney that 20% of Me3 is necessary, the rest is sidequests, romances, character loyalties. You know the rpg goodness. I see that this 80% is slowly being threatened. I like games with fluffy goodness. I want it to stay that way. Don't you?Daystar Clarion said:I played the Dragon Age DLC. It added nothing to the overall story and did not make my experience richer, it was simply an optional side quest. Granted, unless I buy every DLC for every game I buy, ever, I will not know what I'm missing out on. But in the grand age of the internet, I can check these things out, and as of yet, I've feel I've been forced to buy DLC 'to get the full experience', I've bought it because I like the game and want something more to do with it.Zeel said:That's an interesting thought. If a game was incomplete how would you know it? Aslong as they aren't ruining the ending. You have no way of telling how complete something is. Until you notice how much content is being denied.Daystar Clarion said:You mean games being sold with extra content available should I wish to buy it?Crono1973 said:No evidence to support it? You don't see any evidence of games being sold in pieces? Look around buddy, it's happening.Daystar Clarion said:It's considered a fallacy because there's no evidence to support it. Hindsight doesn't sudenly make supposition from the past less of a fallacy.Crono1973 said:Yeah and every slippery slope isn't a fallacy either.Daystar Clarion said:Yeah, except one thing coming to fruition doesn't automatically validate any other theories, it's still a fallacy.Crono1973 said:Yeah, people used that fallacy when DLC first started getting popular and they said that eventually DLC would be coming out on Day One. We all know how wrong they were..right?Daystar Clarion said:Ah yes, slippery slope fallacy, I haven't seen you in a while.cookyy2k said:It wont be long before we pay $60 for the engine, textures and 1st level then $10 to download each subsequent level (which are all on the disc of course) and we'll still have people paying it, saying it's a brilliant strategy and calling everyone who says it's awful entitled.Zeel said:you know what. Congratulations. This is probably the worst argument I have ever seen.Capitano Segnaposto said:snip
"PEOPLE BK DEN BUY USE BUT EXPECT NEW QUALITY" First of all. Who? Who bought used and expected New? I dont believe that was the majority good sir, because that would be completely illogical to expect new quality with used quality.
The your last point, I assume you THINK it ties everything together, but sorry friend. I dont know how to tell you this. Your argument is logically flawed in every way. You have to tie point a to point B. You cant have some random ass story then assert your point at the end and that is your argument. That's nonsense.
Plus no one is even talking about New versus used. We are talking about day one dlc's. You know content on the disc? You know what people expect when they buy used: the fucking game. NOTHING more, nothing less. When shit is being hacked off for profit, we have a big fucking problem here.
'X has done Y, which means they will eventually do Z'
A pleasure, as always.
I have yet to play a game that I felt was incomplete because something was 'cut' from it.
Now, that's my own anecdote, and such, does not make it an absolute to anything except my own experience (which a lot of people seem to forget).
Games used to cost 50-60 quid when I was growing up, I thought they would get more expensive, but they actually went down in price.
Since then, I'm very careful about throwing around 'X has done Y, therefore they will do Z'.
Plus play Dragon age origins: where thats that wanker that waits around camp, giving you quest info but no quest until you buy the DLC. Or quest that have markers but you cant start until you buy the dlc. Crazy isn't it? It's there, you just aren't looking hard enough.
If this Prothean thing ends up being disk locked content, then you're perfectly within your right to complain, but if it isn't, then that's an extra.
