Current Events > They cannot keep getting away with this.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just about EVERY video game that comes out nowadays is a "beta test". Might as well wait a full year for the full edition to come out. Oh wait, can't do that with Final Fantasy XV since it's getting a SECOND season pass that won't even come with the newest edition of the game.

Remember when we could just buy a game and unlock things as we play? Too bad, chum. Get ready to shell out another $50 or more if you want to experience everything in the game :)
Are expansion passes and DLC a bad idea? No, but they can definitely be overpriced or used to sell what should be unlockable through the game like different costumes or something.

Did you just buy a new game and you want to play it as soon as you get home? That's too bad. Have fun waiting potentially hours on end for the updates to finish. Looking at you, Doom. 58 GB. What the hell?

Remember when video games were a nice form of escapism? Welp, enjoy developers obviously shoving some type of political agenda in the games they make now. I'm looking at you, Bioware.

I love video games but this industry makes me want to just quit the hobby sometimes. This shit has been going on for YEARS and it's not getting any better despite the criticism.

What made me go on this tangent, you're probably not wondering? I was one of the fools who bought FF XV at midnight release and look at where we are now. Square Enix played me like a damn fiddle.

Now that I got that out of my system, time to do some homework and go to sleep.

You got a fucking 50+ hour single player game. Shut up

Nobody is making you buy games which are set up like that.

The vocal minority of people who'd rather have no games than DLC/Season pass stuff are just poor.

Get a job and you won't even notice the $50 season passes.

This and lootboxes and crap are why I stopped buying new games and focus more on my Steam backlog.
---

This is why I play my old games.

50 hours? Imagine being happy with 50 hours from a game. I think I had upwards of 1,000 into GT4.

Lol new games.

Was Doom a 58GB update on console?

I wouldn't know, because I'm not going to play an FPS on a god damned console like a pleb.

My newest ystems are a PS3 and a 3DS.

It's actually mostly because I don't want ywt another system to find a place to hook uo somewhere (I literally have four systems hooked up right now, plus two handhelds that I have used today, then five more in the closet), but from what I hear about Gen 8, this has apparently been to my advantage.

And here I dub thee the first wave of the industry's defense force.

Money is not an issue for me.

This of course is why stuff like this was allowed to happen in the first place

PS:found the shills.

So why are you complaining? Clearly you can afford the games/additional content, why does it bother you that others cannot?

How could I forget that sales have absolutely no impact on future game development? Silly me.

So don't play games? Get old games? Design a game? Kickstart something you looks the idea of? Get a different hobby you aren't upset with? I fail to see the point other than crying.
