Great. I don't like where this is going.

Yi-Long4074d ago (Edited 4074d ago )

... to be a bargain-bin buy for me, when it comes with all the DLC included in some kind of 'complete'/ultimate/GO TY edition.

The more these developers/publishers try to milk me for money through DLC, the less money I'm inclined to pay them.

Trenta274074d ago

You don't have to buy the DLC...

Blastoise4074d ago

I agree. I still haven't picked up Borderlands 2 for this reason.

I hate season passes, I'm not spending like £20 on what may or may not be good DLC

Yi-Long4074d ago

... I don't have to buy incomplete games either.

DavidMacDougall4074d ago

I like to buy the main game day 1 if the game is good then sell it for 20 odd, then i rebuy the GOTY versions years down the line so it comes out to about the same as full price in the end.

ApolloTheBoss4074d ago

Exactly. I'm tired of this season pass crap. Never bought one and never will.

HarryMasonHerpderp4074d ago

Wow I'm proud of my fellow gamers here.
I thought everyone would be making excuses for it.
Well done guys I will be joining you in not buying this game day one anymore.

I have also been avoiding games that do this season's pass BS. The plus side is that I now have the time to actually play the games I already own, but never got around to finishing. To be honest I suspect that this game will prove disappointing anyway. So Irrational can keep it and keep their season's pass.

Some of you do not understand DLC. This content would cease to exist if they did not say let's support the game after launch and work on more DLC. It is a separate budget and something they do not begin work on so much until after the game has launched or at least has gone gold. They are not being tricky or trying to Capcom people. They are working hard after the COMPLETED story to add more for those who choose to do so.

DLC facts: levels have not been started or barely begun. It is not cut content. Cut content was cut because it was not good enough for game.

Zichu4074d ago

Good job I decided to get Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in March, will also wait for everything to be included in one collection.

BanBrother4074d ago

I will reserve judgement on this. If the DLC is handled properly, I will be happy. I think the concept of the season pass is brilliant, just that most developers/publishers use it as an excuse to make a lot of 'filler' content. If they weren't tied to this 'season pass', they could probably just work on one big expansion that releases 6-12 months later, instead of more than likely 4 pieces of mediocore crap.

I think one of the DLC's will be a 'challenge mode'. It is easy money, as every game has one of them and they probably were already in existence before the game was shipped. Just give me story related DLC and I'll be happy.

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy267d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz266d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher266d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy266d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg266d ago (Edited 266d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden266d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
