ZP, when a game comes along that does everything you think publishers should do and nothing you think they shouldn't do, do you fully support those games and buy them at full MSRP?

Sorry if that throws a wrench in your deluded corporate rhetoric

comments like this are unnecessary and unproductive to your argument.

No, you're just trotting out the same BS rhetoric that has been buried time and time again but refuses to die because of loyal corporate mouthpieces like yourself are ignorant and gullible enough to take it as gospel

i try to have a real discussion and you start calling me ignorant. you're gonna have a real hard time convincing people with an attitude like that.

What justification do you have for defending content being carved to sell to you for ludicrous prices?

i already said and you disagree with it. dont know what else there is to say

ZombiePelican posted...

Because 4 dollars for a fucking emote is insane idgaf what mental gymnastics you come up with to justify that

that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. i think trading a $4 emote for free DLC is cool, but you don't, which is also cool.

ZombiePelican posted...

The reasons these games are so expensive is NOT our fault

doesn't the market respond to demand, though? publishers push AAA games with AAAAAAA graphics because that's what sells. voting with your wallet is the only effective voice we have.

actual content is being released as free DLC. i will gladly take $4 gestures in exchange for the actual game content being free. totally reasonable exchange IMO.

Reeses Cups

a couple of weeks ago i had a grocery store coupon for "free candy up to $3" and a 6-pack of Reese Cup full-sized packages (2 cups ea, so 12 total) was on sale for exactly $3 so i got that shit for free and it was amazing

Sorry but "It's just cosmetic" doesn't excuse microtransactions and sure as shit doesn't excuse overpriced DLC sawed off from the main game.

im contesting that it does.

what justification to you have to demand 100% of the content in a game for the set price of $60? why do you feel its "unfair" for a company to charge what they want for their product?

do you recognize that games cost more and more to develop and, when inflation is taken into account, games are cheaper now than they ever have been?

and somewhat tangential, i think a flat rate of $60 for new games is stupid. some games deserve a higher price point but since consumers don't seem to welcome that idea publishers invented new ways to justify high production costs.

Because they're charging a ludicrous amount for emotes and stickers clearly sawed off from the main game to resell to you. Did you not read the topic title?

but, again, those are purely cosmetic and have zero affect on the actual gameplay which is why i don't care. if Capcom took actual monster hunts out of the base game and sold them at $9.99/ea, then I'd share in your outrage.

for a game the size of MWH you have to expect some additional revenue streams or the game can't realistically be priced at $60. again, i would rather have cosmetics that have zero impact on the gameplay be said revenue streams than MTXs or content-based DLC.

ZombiePelican posted...

these prices are a joke for what you get

then don't buy them. and guess what? you'll have the same gameplay experience as others who pay for them.

OK with things like this because this is how companies recoup costs without the other things.

You don't actually believe this, do you?

i do, actually.

and of all the ways for big publishers to make money, cosmetic DLC is the least invasive from a gameplay perspective. i'd much rather have cosmetic DLC than MTXs that interfere with mechanics or actual gameplay content locked behind a paywall.

if this content affected gameplay in any way at all i would share your complaints but it doesn't so i don't see the problem.

Now he's against it. I wonder if that flip-flop has anything to do with the $21M the NRA donated to his campaign?

a quote from his book published in the year 2000:

"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With todays Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record."

see, guys, Liberals are the real racists and Mal just proved it to everyone.

also, the topic title is wholly disingenuous because it should say "Blue states have twice as many *reported* hate crimes" because that's what the stats measure. it's ironic you're getting so focused on the empirical data but you aren't even accurately representing what it measures.

Never understood how people figure carpentry and the like doesn't involve the brain.

that's a good point, which makes my comment above a little ignorant as that job absolutely requires mental capacity.

i think a more accurate definition would be

white collar = office
blue collar = no office

agree?

Tell them to keep it in the oven a bit longer to get a more well-done crust. These make-your-own-pizza places can bake it too short and you have a flaccid crust.

According to your Messiah Obama, Romney was a buffoon when said we should worry about Russia.
