The comments to this thread pretty much show the big double standard. EA does it, fuck them, but our Lord and savior Naughty Dog (or Nintendo, or whoever it may be) does it? Oh well. This is a company that released a season pass that was supposed to contain all the DLC map content om top of the single player add ons, and we got MORE DLC after the pass ended.

You literally don't need to buy any of this to be competitive.

Don't understand what the problem is.

App store games charge up to hundreds of dollars for content. Why does nobody talk about them?

I said the same thing with EA, actually.  I said it's their job to try and create new revenue streams, it's my job as a consumer to reject anything I don't feel is worth the value.  I've never bought any ND DLC (except Left Behind for TLOU) and I'm not involved in EA's garbage either.  This is on the rest of gamer's who weren't able to resist the urge.

I feel the same about Sakurai and Smash 4.

Because most of them are free to start. And regarding the not needing to buy any of it to be competitive part I urge you to google "tlou tactical shotgun" and look at the first page results, that should really speak for itself on how much this paid stuff can break the balance of the game.

i did not like that in TLoU MP but i did manage to get along without the feeling that i was in a big disadvantage.
i really hope they can get over this and be pleased with the incoming from the main game. Hope they can put their eyes on CD Projekt Red and take the high road.

PS: STOP BUYING THAT S***

btw i love naughty dog and their craftsmanship

OP try to bash the franchise that all IMO

most of those are theme, soundtrack, costume, avatar and has for weapon for last of us i purchase one and it doesnt change anything in my game experience except the look of my weapon (skin)!

ND always offer complete game (compare to some other like EA, Ubisoft, WB, MS, SE etc...

i do moreso than the single player

ot i agree the extra guns in the last of us mp were actually better than the default guns

the mp in the last of us just became garbage after a whil because of how unbalanced things were imo

especially when you consider that a couple kills can buy armour and all kinds of shit

kind of sad to see them pull this bullshit again because i do sincerely like their games

I actually had no idea those games had that insane amount of micro transactions. Micro transactions is the worst thing to have ever happened to the video games industry.

"You literally don't need to buy any of this to be competitive. "

 
well no that is a lie at least with regards to the last of us and i wouldn't be surprised if they pull this bullshit with uncharted 4

go up against someone with a frontier rifle in the last of us while using a default rilfe or a burst pistol and then say that again
