So if the giant whine abut this thread is that the CE didn't come with every song in the game, why is nobody whining that the 35 song soundtrack also does not contain every song in the game? Or that both soundtracks together STILL don't have every song in the game?
In fact, very few movies or games ever release complete soudtracks, either due to CD size, aesthetic choice, or legal issues.
So really what the complaint here is that some people read 'soundtrack' and then -assumed- that every song from the game would be present. It doesn't say "complete soundtrack" or in any other way imply that the CE comes with every song.
Where exactly does the CE "tell lies" as the thread title suggests?
Read my post about two threads up, u must of missed it cause it pretty much touches on everything you just mentioned. I'll sum it up for you though, cause it is long winded, I am just repeating though... so if you want a longer explination just read the above.
1. We're not dumb, we know soundtracks don't include ALL the music of the game (save for rare examples), and we don't expect that.
2. Despite the title of the thread, I don't think we were lied to as much as blatently tricked.
3. You say "So really what the complaint here is that some people read 'soundtrack'
and then -assumed- that every song from the game would be present. It
doesn't say "complete soundtrack" or in any other way imply that the CE
comes with every song."
No one assumes that, well, at least not most of us. When we say THE soundtrack we mean soundtrack in the CD sense. Like a movie soundtrack.
4. One of the main reasons I tend to get collector's editions is
because they often come with soundtracks. I have not once had anything
like this happen. If I want the full soundtrack I have to in a sense,
rebuy what I already own.KK that sums it up.
NOW this in it's self isn't enough to ****** me off, but this ontop of a bunch of sleazy marketing moves has pissed me off.
Let me leave ya with one example, The Witcher. I good few months (maybe even a year) after release they created a mega patch that must of cost them ALLOT of $$$ and allot of work. This patch was applyed to the product and sold in a special edition, this special edition came with a bunch of goodies like soundtrack, map, ect. BUT the devs didn't want to screw over the fans who had already bought there game, so they provided those who already own the game with EVERYTHING. Hell we even got two HUGE soundtracks for free. One composed of music from the game and another composed of tribute music.
Yet, those loyalists who bought the DA:O CE don't even get the real soundtrack... now compare how much money bioware and EA has compared to the little dev team that made the witcher. One did it's best to please the fans and the other did it's best to suck money out of them. Like I said before, pre-dragon age I had no beef with EA. I didn't see what the fuss was about, but now I loathe them.
