That's pretty bad. Don't encourage those companies by bying these little extra things. Buy a new game, movie or book with these money. Eventually, that we'll teach the companies that €70 or €80 are already a lot to be spent for a video game.

Better yet, don't buy the games which have this kind of thing. Especially so if the multiplayer mode is unbalanced, with some people having better weapons.

I am curious to see if that's the case, it could be really interesting to see people's reactions.

So, let me get this straight: The weapons are already on the game disc, which you probably just paid $60 for, and you need to pay even MORE money just to unlock them.

Yeah, I think I won't be the only one who refuses to buy any game based upon this business model.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

EA sport games:


E-A it's not in the game



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Also, EA charge you for breathing. They have an army of midgets that monitor what you're doing.

$7.95 a breath.


Also they charge $9.95 to blink, $5.95 per heart beat.



So why did they call it the 360?because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away- some guy on Gamespot

I think charging people for things [after] they buy the game is incredibly unfair and should be made illegal. If EA wanted to give away the games for free and then charge for content that would be completley different.




I miss expansion packs.  Those were great because the developers actually had to put a nice load of content into them to make them worth buying.
