Don't infect my post with your stupidity. Don't care about my point of view, keep it to yourself. I'm not rich, and the game costs $400 here. A stupid DLC $100, yeah a 1/4 of the game for just 20 mins of gameplay.




A little mood music to go with the tears. Ah, that is better.





I think I actually was moved while reading your post and felt a twinge of sympathy  from somewhere deep in my gut...









No wait....that was just a fart.

I do not expect a gaijin such as yourself to understand the intricities of Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden.

Ultimately, it all broils down on deciding for yourself if investing an extra 10 dollars to your gaming experience is worth the cost.

When I bought DAO, there were some problems and I didn't receive my Shale code on day 1. It came three weeks later and by then I had already finished the game. You literally will not notice Shale is missing if he isn't installed. The game plays and ends perfectly fine. Same goes for Zaeed and Sebastian. The way the DLC is structure, you will *not* miss them in your game if they are not installed.

Now, we have the Prothean. I fully realize this is a supposition, but if the pattern remains consistant, it'll be perfectly possible to play and enjoy your game from start to finish without even noticing the Prothean is not there. Because saying the Prothean will be in some way important in such a way that the game revolves around him is a supposition as well which we will only know for certain when the game is released.

Think it's worth the extra 10 dollars to have a Prothean on your squad? Cool, invest the 10 dollars and enjoy your game with a Prothean in it. Think it's not worth the extra money? Also cool. Don't invest the 10 dollars and enjoy your game while the Prothean remains blissfully sleeping in his stasis pod. Choice, people - It really is that simple.

And citing horrible future possibilities of having games and their endings sold separately as DLC? Guesswork at best and blatant rabble-rousing at worst.


Both Shale and Zaeed have been content available to everyone who bought the full game.
Both did not represent something as significant as a living prothean in a Mass Effect game.
In the case of Zaeed it was very obvious in game that he was DLC, which is a quality issue resulting of the DLC structure.

Once again, those cases have been significantly different than this situation. Those were iniatives to encourage a new buy, instead of used buy. This is literally taking a significant part of the game (and yes prothean lore is significant in Mass Effect), that is ready to go for launch and selling it extra for a disproportionate price.

What is happening here is a sepperation between the general gaming community and die hard fans who don't care how much they spend. The few who spend too much will end up financing the model, but everyone else will have to deal with cuts. Getting a full game becomes luxury unless this trend stops. And the heavy resistance, not just from the "vocal minority" shows that something is really going wrong.
Only a fool would ignore this. Look at how Ubisoft screwed their PC sales, by pissing everyone of.

It is the gradual change that makes people oblivious to the rip-off.

I'm not crying as you put it, my wallet is. This is why you people can be taken seriously. Be happy feeling superior.

If it's too expensive, just don't buy it.  I had to pass up and XBox and a non-sh*tty PC because I couldn't afford them.  This means I can't play a lot of new games that come out.

I also couldn't finish the Halo trilogy because 3 was XBox exclusive.  I'm still mildly butthurt about it, but it's not like my life has been ruined or anything.

It's okay. Although 3 had the best MP to date, the story was as **** as the rest.

And there you have it folks the first state of the union address. It seems the President was thanking a video game company? But what for? What a poorly written speech by one of the most powerful people in the world, and next is a segment we call. Achieving in Life without Schooling,Hosted by George W Bush.

Aye, I'll give you that Shale and Zaeed were meant to discourage second hand buying of games.

Buthow are we not getting a full game if the Prothean is not included? Can we play ME3 from start to finish without the Prothean? Yes. We will be able to do that. And we can because ME3 out of the box *is* a full game. The Prothean just adds extra flavor.

Premium content is on the rise and it's something that's here to stay. The good things in life are not free. That's just the way it is.

While I respect your opinion, I still think you're overreacting a bit. Name me one game. One game that you cannot play from start to finish without installing a DLC. Just one. (And no, Fallout 3 doesn't count. It actually *had* an ending, it was just a very crappy one.)

Oh, I know the story's bad.  But Halo is kind of like my Twilight: as horribly mainstream and mediocre as it is, I derive hours of pleasure from it and feel no shame whatsoever.

Cheez, the problem is not the DLC, since I already bought the DD. The problem involves the price of the CE wich seems to be the same as the DD (wft?), and now is more ridiculous with this DLC and ....it's complicated.
