...until I read on gamefaqs that they're planning on a crapload of DLC-milking (23 packs).
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boa...
...so now I'll just wait a bit to see how that turns out, cause I'm not gonna buy an incomplete game where the developers will be nickel-and-diming me right after it gets released...
I will also wait until i am convinced that they are releasing a full game.
... because they used to be simply 'unlockables' in a game, but now we are being nickel-and-dimed to obtain them.
Also, I believe these 'skins' also come with their own 'abilities'. Doesn't the Martial Arts pre-order come with an extra move or something!?
I don't like being nickel-and-dimed.
And I was glad that Activision dropped the game and it got picked up again and is now completed and looking great...
... but the reason I HATE Activision is BECAUSE they're always nickel-and-diming, so when another developer/publisher does the exact same thing, I'm not suddenly going to reward them for it with my money!
I don't support these greedy developers/publishers. I'm a patient guy. I can wait for a big price-drop or for a 'complete' edition, IF I'm still interested in the game by then.
I'll be in Hong Kong this December so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pick it up for 30 bucks there anyway.
But I want this game to be good. HK is an amazing city!
... which is why it's a bit of a shame that the developers only used Hong Kong Island, and left out New Territories, Kowloon, Lantau, and some of the islands.
Especially considering how interesting and diverse those other areas are.
I really hope this game will be a huge succes, so there will be a chance that we get a sequel that WILL have the whole city of Hong Kong, instead of just the HK Island part of it....
:)
Maybe we get to see the other parts of HK in a sequel next gen if this does well? Let´s hope so!
Edit: Projectdeputy, The game couldnt have received a score until the day the game released and I still would have picked the game up. I never base my purchases off review scores.
More accurate to claim not basing purchases off a single review. The wisdom of crowds generally won't steer you wrong when it comes to the ends of the meta score bell curve. The middle ground (or in this case games that fall in the 75-90 meta range) is a little more difficult to go off of.
I still don't understand how these guys could not like the Yakuza games (aside from Dead Souls, of coarse)
It's an eidos title basically
And even with their losses , they got too many stuff selling strong for it to have any impact on Versus or its release .
You are only depriving yourself , but whatever floats your boat
the guyz who did this is the devs behind modnation racers
It's a great game.
To true crimes and I didn't like true crimes at all. In fact, this was true crimes before activation dropped the game, and square picked up publishing rights
Activision force the name change for better sales expectation , and when they dropped the game , it was saved from that doomed ip
But something about it just isn't clicking with me! :/
