Why I'm not Buying a One - My Rant

Well its going to be a while before I'm done with Forza 4 still working on the Bucket List achievements and when I'm done with that I will probably buy the Porsche expansion pack.  Still kinda busy with Horizon also since I'm trying to get all the metals for the cars that I have and I will buy the seson pass when its 50% off if that never happens I will probably buy the first car pack so I can get all the 1000 Club achievements and the February car pack because I want the 1973 Mazda RX-3 (loved that car in Sega GT 2002) and the 1970 Datsun 510.  Plus even when I'm done with both the games I will play them both at least one time a month as long as they give out free unicorn cars through the Forza Rewards program.

Porsche expansion pack takes a couple hours to get all 250/250

LOL about the medals for Horizon, it's because of achievements like these, I don't care for MS brand game achievements anymore. Medals are literally designed so that you have to get the DLC in order to get them. You can't get most of them without DLC, and to me that's just givng MS money for nothing. You don't get any added fun, unless it's a specific car you want like the RX-3, but the DLC is designed so you get multiple car packs, which have lots of meh cars you don't want. Plus car DLC is overpriced in this game, it's almost $1 per car, I feel that's a rip off, so I'm standing against MS by not downloading them.

I have the same mentality for Halo and Gears of War now. If Halo 4 and Judgement were as fun as Reach and Gears 3, I would buy DLC, no problem, but with the new games I have no motivation to play online. Plus I hate grinding for that last 20 points, especially because there is no shared "complete games" page which others can view, and you don't get a platinum trophy or anything.

Anyway this is getting off topic, but this is why I'm starting to like Sony a lot more now. You get a Platinum for getting all the original trophy's, you don't need DLC for a platinum (you do for 100% completion though), and that's nice. Motivates me to max games with DLC I have no interest in.
