Dead Space 3 will launch with 11 pieces of day one DLC available, offering services ranging from speeding up loot collection to new suits and weapons for Isaac.
According to Eurogamer, most of the purchasable upgrades tie into the game's crafting system, specifically the scavenger bots that you can use to salvage weapon parts and resources scattered around the game world. It's worth noting that these DLC bundles are separate from the micro-transactions in the game's weapon crafting system discovered last week.
If I end up playing Dead Space 3 I'm definitely going to play it on the classic mode so I don't have to deal with these features. I hated the crafting system in the demo before the micro-transaction news got out too. It's so convoluted with the amount of different resources.
Yeah, cause he'll just eat up micro transactions and BS.
RIP DS3
It's basically pay to make your character better from the start.
Like paying for a short cut.
Please boycott.
Pretty damn sad...
Yea secound hand and not buy the dlc.
Should have just made the game they and all their fans wanted in the first place.
go phuck urself EA!
F*** these dlcs. If you have a gamegennie use that instead.
one of my favorite series this gen has turned to shit with all this dlc
this generation keeps disappointing
Also, off-topic, I'm not entirely knowledgeable of most internet acronyms; I had to google search "smh" just now because I'm tired of seeing people use it and having no idea what it meant lol... Before I googled it, I assumed it meant, "Smell My Hat".

Why?
Im still confuse on how can last-gen can have so many different AAA titles in so many genres.But with this gen we have seen an lack of RPG,Open World,RTS,and more.And what really pisses me off the fact people are asking for new console when only one publisher that have produce top-notch games since its release.
I want too get an PS4 first day but I'm losing faith in 3rd party studios.With so called old tech they still can't atleast prototype gimmicks for nextgen.
Why just shrug your shoulders just because other publishers do it? They will keep pushing and pushing and it will get worse and worse which is why people should complain and boycott this release.
Fuck you, EA.
They make you grind 50x as long as is humanly tolerable, just to get resources. And if u don't acquaire said materials, then your stuck or the game is nearly impossible to beat/move forward. THIS is how they get u to buy their micro-transactions. By raising the amount of time it takes to acquire items, but making it extremely easy to LOSE the items that you have already earned. It's almost like gambling on slot machines designed to make u lose, so that u keep coughing up more coins/dollars/euro's.
No one can complain when the game is free. But in a paid game? Let alone a $60 single player game? HELL NO. This will spell the doom of retail, purchased gaming if this catches on.
It just sounds like these micro-transactions help give the player an edge, not something that would be considered game breaking because the player can't get past a section.
That may be what happens in mobile gaming, but that doesn't appear to be the case in console gaming.
Sure we dont know yet if its the case with DS3 , but the opposite is also unproven , so some people are skeptical about it , within reason
@ wiggles there have been lots of articles on n4g pointing out just what he said..
Is that a coincidence that tons of big EA games are coming with day one DLC? nope, EA are greedy bastards and will ruin all their good franchise and make it have more explosions and bigger guns.
They have to resort to such greedy tactics so that the executives can keep their millions of dollars of bonuses while the developers work overtime and have to sure their bosses to get the money that is owed to them. Tehy keep needing more and more money when development costs should be less now because they keep ruining the series with bigger explosions, multilayer, and stupid cutscenes that real fans dont want. I just wasnt good survival horror gameplay, but at least now I can always pay 5$ if the game is too hard at one point...
I'll never understand where some gamers get off feeling they are entitled to anything in regards to a form of entertainment. That they feel like they are owed something.
Maybe I don't invest as much into video games as some people so I only see it as a form of entertainment if I have the extra cash laying around.
Its in game content you can pay extra for to unlock it early. its nothing hidden or kept from you, so to say they are breaking the game into pieces and selling it seperatly isnt vaild at this moment. its simply an offer to start off extra. its like cheating..but you pay for it. Earn the gear in game the normal way and stop complaining. it has nothing to do with experience, thats like saying you have a nintendo but since you dont have a game genie you are getting "cheated" out of the full experience because your not getting extra stuff.
And as for it being bullshit.. if you dont like it don't buy it. and if you are getting up in arms over 60 dollers then chances are friend, you shouldnt be spending that money on a video game in the first place.
available for rent or lease,fresh ideas welcome.
GOOD LUCK!
well said.
this is exactly what these companies want you to do . Im glad i came here first before even considering dead space 3, i loved the first. But i see where they are going with this one.
Microtransactions have no place in games which are alone worth the price of 60 bucks , and make you rely on these features.
1.IF i brought this game, i would want to get the most of it. WHY WOULD I WANT to buy microtransaction content, to shorten or make my experience easier ?
2.i paid 60 bucks and want to make the most of it, more length and more time, = money well spent.
Its like Activision offering , prestige 10 with all weapons for 10 bucks ????
its seems to imply that you will somehow be forced to spend on microtransactions.
Very crafty , beleive me, one way or another , EA want you to consider while playing , to pay for transactions.
Not this casual shit of , "ooh if you want the game to be quicker or easier" i dont want 60 buck game to last me 5 hours.
