Freakin' ripoff, which is why I won't get them.

HateBoy5793d ago

I got em, the "fiend" and the "shadow walker" pack.. I'm a bit ashamed to say so because i agree with most people commenting here, these costumes should be earned, not bought. Normally I wouldn't dream of paying for this kind of dlc as I absolutely hate what MS has done to dlc in general, but NG is one of my favourite games and Ruy one of my favourite video-game characters. As a true fan of the game and Ryu I felt this was one exception I was willing to make. TBH, the costumes are actually quite cool, if there is anyone out there with some points they know they're not going to spend on anything else (like I had) I can recommend it. Especially Fiend Hayabusa and shadow walker. Now if you'll excuse Fiend Hayabusa: Costume 3,4 & 5 and Shadow walker Hayabusa: Costume 1, 2 & 5 need to slice and dice.

DarkSniper5794d ago

Complete rip off. This is Microsoft using extortion to it's maximum. Reasons such as these is why Xbox 360 will never find the comfort of anyone's living room, especially Dark Sniper's.

The Rock is gonna lay the smackdown on your candy ass! The Rock is gonna go down Know Your Role Boulevard, hang that right at Jabroni Drive, and proceed to check your candy ass in at the Smackdown Hotel. Know you role and shut your mouth. If you smell... what the Rock is cookin'!

JasonPC360PS3Wii5793d ago

Actualy it's found comfort in 20+ million living rooms, and if I'm not mistaken thats way more homes than the PS3.

ShadesMoolah5794d ago

A part of me believes that there's developers working hard on new stuff for the love of their work. They would like to offer this for free so that more gamers can appreciate what they've accomplished. The other part of me feels that executive decisions turn this into a way the company can make some more money.

va_bank5794d ago (Edited 5794d ago )

..ask the "other part" of you to b!tchslap the first part.

ShadesMoolah5794d ago

These activities are not exclusive to Microsoft as you should be well aware. There's something about this generation of consoles that has develop the idea.

I blame Halo 2 on Xbox as this seemed to be the forerunner of charged for content.

dachiefsman5794d ago

while I think 10 bucks is steep for new Halo maps, I don't think they should be free. They job is to make games and content just like some of us working for a paycheck.

If people want to buy it fine, it is their money and free to do as they chose.

JVIDICAN5794d ago

deffinately a rip off

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej3005d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku773005d ago (Edited 3005d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19843005d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13309d ago (Edited 3309d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773309d ago (Edited 3309d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3309d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3309d ago (Edited 3309d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113309d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3309d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3309d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773309d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3309d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3309d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3309d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3309d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
