Don't Worry eventually when you want super easy mode and super hard mode $8 for both otherwise it will be $5 each it will be standard :|
Also super overpowered weapons at the start $5 isnt that cheap to instantly beat the game lol and for only $3 more you can have infinite ammo

VALVE are the ones that made micro transactions (albeit cosmetic ones, initially, but full micro transactions with dota 2) popular and i never saw any of you retarded kids complain. If any other company does them, yeah, let's complain. Idiots!
Comment has been collapsed.
Dead Space 3's micro transactions are optional too, so if you don't mind TF 2 hats or DOTA 2's micro transaction but complain about Dead Space 3's micro transactions you are either a steambot either an imbecile. You know why? Because it's the same thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you mentally handicapped? I am serious so please answer as best as you can.
Game's price is irrelevant.
My point is that they are both (Valve's model and Dead Space's model) optional and not intrusive and if you don't want to buy resources in DS3 you don't need to, just like you don't have to buy stuff in DOTA 2 if you don't want to. Just do it how every gamer does it: unlock it in-game.
So, i reiterate: are you mentally handicapped?

While I can see your logic, if I had spent $60 on a game (which I never do....) I would fully expect it to be the complete, definitive edition.
I'm willing to accept paying for substantial DLC packs for a game I bought relatively cheaply, based on them adding significant extra content to the base game, but in my mind, microtransactional unlocks for a premium price game is straight up gouging, and a waggling middle finger in the faces of PC gamers.
Comment has been collapsed.
You really seem to be struggling understanding what exactly micro transactions in the context of Dead Space 3 means.
See, you do get the complete, definitive edition. But micro transactions are kind of like cheat codes: the game has a weapon crafting feature and if you are too lazy or dumb to gather the parts/resources for creating the weapons, you can buy the parts. But you are not required to buy anything and in fact you can get the parts just by playing the damn game (which most of you stupid kids don't do these days... you seem to like to complain on ze internet more than playing games). So please, please stop being stupid. You are embarrassing the PC gamers that you speak of.

Not everyone agrees with your point of view, and acting like a child, calling people with contrary opinions "stupid" and "embarrasing" is doing little or nothing to further your argument.
The definitive version, by definition, would include all play modes, including the "not having to face the choice of grinding for hours/pay money to progress at a tolerable pace in the game version". In the past, this might have been called an "Easy" level...
People are free to accept this, and open their wallets a second time to get the game they want. You're entitled to your opinion, even though I see it as apologist BS. I'm entitled to mine. Maybe I'm too "old school", but if I've paid that sort of money for a title, I find it offensive and insulting to be even offered microtransactions, full stop. Maybe I am too sensitive about these things, but the trend is a very worrying one, and it's a trend that is of no benefit whatsoever to the PC gamer.
EA have done little to endear themselves the PC gamers in recent times, and the inclusion of microtransactions in a full priced premium game, while hardly unique, is just another blow below the belt for the consumer.
Comment has been collapsed.
These are not people with contrary opinions; these are people with retarded opinions, yours included. The micro transactions are optional, non intrusive and don't include anything that isn't already in the game, so saying you don't get the definitive version because there are micro transactions is stupid.
You see, you are not stupid because i say you are. I'm just making a remark about you. You are stupid because you say stupid things and you have retarded opinions, not because i say you are. So quit mumbling about definitive versions and grow up you 'oh so old school' gamer. How old school are you btw? Have you played a ZX Spectrum game in your life... or were you born too late for that?
Comment has been collapsed.
For the record, I grew up on Atari Woody, ZX Spectrum and C64 games, not that it matters anyway. I'm old enough to know when somebody has lost their way in an argument and is resorting to personal insults rather than logic to add weight to an otherwise flimsy premise.
People will make their own minds up over who the "stupid" posters in this thread are, but after infantile rants like that, I'd be willing to bet you would be among the hot favourites for this dubious accolade.
Anyway, a wise man once said "Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience", and I'm inclined to take heed of his advice. Enjoy your microtransactions.

For the record: i doubt you're old enough to have played any games in the 80s but the best part is i don't care how old you are.
You have stupid opinions and no arguments (other than 'oh noes, it has micro transactions thus it's not a definitive version' which falls under the category of stupid opinion and not valid argument, anyway) which is enough for me to form an opinion on how old you are. And it's night here. Kid.

You lack common sense, enough said. Asking if i'm mentally handicapped because you don't get the difference between F2P and a 60$ game is pretty pathetic. If you can't see the reason why microtransaction (no matter what kind) shouldn't be in 60$ games, i definitely recommend CoD every year + all the mappacks. You'll love it!

Nobody gives a shit if they are optional or not, the fact still remains that they are selling power. I don't mind TF2 hats because I don't give a shit what the other guy has on his head, I care for what he has in his hands shooting at me.
For someone who calls others 'idiots' and 'mentally handicapped' you are not very bright yourself.

Perhaps because nobody here paid the princely sum of $60 for DOTA 2?

Those individuals were few and far between, and had to be dyed in the wool enthusiasts/borderline lunatics to have parted with that sort of cash for a beta invite...
People trading a game like Skyrim for a free beta (albeit one that wasn't easy to get hold of) got what they paid for - a beta invite for a game that was always destined to become FTP.
Anyone who was expecting anything else from DOTA 2's business model is in sore need an extra-strong dose of reality syrup....

This non-sense belongs in mobile games and freemiums. In fact the iOS version of Dead Space has it too. Who is to say they haven't made the game in a way that buying from their store would be an attractive option (very difficult hordes, very less control nodes or weak guns?). I won't bother pirating nor would I care for a $5 GOTY of this garbage. There are better games out there worth my money and more importantly - my time. EA said they needed 5 mil sales to continue this series? They're trying hard to not get there.

Anyone else remember when games weren't meant to be easy for 100% of the players? These days, companies want everyone to see everything. Good thinking, but there's always going to be someone who sucks at duck hunt and cheats with the gamepad to control the ducks.
There were cheat codes available to help the less skilled people. These were usually first found in Nintendo Power, GamePro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, etc. The game companies gave these codes to the magazines most of the time. Today, we buy DLC cheat codes instead of magazines.
If the DLC didn't exist at all, not even in a free form, you wouldn't be missing anything compared to other players. If someone else buys the DLC and you don't, those players have not harmed your play experience at all. You are choosing to be pissed about it.
Don't like DLC? Just don't buy it. If enough people refuse to buy the DLC, they'll see that most people won't buy it. Fact is, most people buy DLC. Happy about it or not, they've told EA that they can keep it up.
Stop buying games with a heavy non-cosmetic DLC component, if you care so much. Financial history suggests that most of us will buy the DLC, even if we don't want to. Even if we don't want what that DLC contains. We're a funny race that way.

This is what really confuses me - they've been dumbing down games for years now in order to get the casual gamers on board, but the budgets for these games are still ballooning. Call of Duty games are these multi-million dollar ($200 million plus for COD MW2) affairs that are basically a shooter on loose rails with a lot of pretty explosions and a shitty script - and bugs, always bugs. Even MMOs spend more money than they need to - look at SWTOR - all that money and all the whining about too much dialogue; apparently most MMO players simply want an infinite dungeon with a boss fight every level so that they can just do raids and nothing else - or at least the very vocal minority somehow convinces EACH and EVERY MMO developer of this at some point, so they toss in more end-game content without ever really expanding on the story lines and quests. Don't even get me started on TES Online, which I expect to be free within 6 months if that... My point is this - I've seen some well put together indie games that were done on a small fraction of what EA and others have to work with and have to believe that if these companies weren't so busy trying to rape consumers to pay their executives and board members so damn much, they could actually make a profit honestly, but what do I know...
Comment has been collapsed.
Budgets are high because there is more work and resources involved. Do you know how much a freelancer would charge you for a 3d model , not rigged, not textured. I'm not even talking about animations. If you are an indie, prepare for a budget > $50K and that's if you want to make a very simple 3d game. Now extrapolate and apply that to an AAA game made by 200 people that need to be payed monhtly and you will see why the budgets are so high these days.
Comment has been collapsed.
IF the games were getting progressively better and actually getting more sales as a result, I'd be more apt to go - yep, no problems here, carry on. However, saying things or people (payroll) are simply expensive does not invalidate anything I said - perhaps they're paying too much and have been for years, so now people expect that and perhaps a correction is due - lord knows the rest of the world is working through financial issues... The reality is that the current model is unsustainable and they've known it for a few years now and there have been numerous articles in gaming magazines basically pointing out the same thing - thus one reason for the rise of what I consider cheap tactics to make even more by offering season passes along with non-included DLC you still have to pay for, microtransactions, and DLC that should have been included from the very beginning.
Comment has been collapsed.
And for some reason those 200 people can't make a proper game.
Many so called "AAA" games from past years are disappointing and just a mashup of fancy-ass explosions with super cool anti-aliasing and shaders.
I don't say games gotta look ugly, but fact is that most of the budged goes down the toilet because of visual style. Guess fancy graphics is all what kids care about nowadays.
Kinda miss the good old times.

You took the words right out of my mouth - I was literally about to post this:
I also know that making a game is a huge risk, but honestly how many AAA titles have come out that were crap because even after tossing a huge budget at it the game was crappy, buggy, etc.? A lot of people were paid to make it, but I think if you were the unfortunate recipient of such a steaming pile, you'd feel like they overpaid for what they got.

Don't forget retards. There are many retards that defend DLCs and micro transactions selectively. Like Valve's for example... as soon as i mentioned Valve did it first, people started defending them. You are right, they must be assholes or kids; or asshole kids :)
Comment has been collapsed.
They defending them only because it's Valve, if it was EA, they don't. :D I don't have a general problem with EA like the others. There are worse, like ActiVision. But I have a problem with developers / publishers that are releasing cosmetic DLCs etc... I don't mind about Fallout 3 datadiscs, because they give you more hours of gameplay. But DLCs like cosmetic stuff, more weapons, more multiplayer maps etc. are just retarded. I don't know if DLC and datadisc is a different stuff for you in english. Like F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate datadisc. Or Borderlands DLCs will give you more hours of gameplay. Bringikng mini-transactions to full paid game is retarded, even in free games, it costs more than full paid game. But I don't care about free2Play games, I don't play them. They are not that good, and they want you to spend more money than for a new game. At least in Team Fortress 2, you can get these items and craft them, but it's stupid they made it Free2Play with mini transactions. I started with games in age, where developers cared about quality of their game very much. There were no DLCs and other retarted stuff, pre-purchase bonuses and mini transactions. Now they care more about money. Before, you just bought a game, and played. Now you buy a game, and you get a demo version, or beta. To have a full game, you need to buy all the DLCs to have your game full. Games were original, always something surprised, now it's that sad boring CoD style, FPS shooters with CoD style everywhere. I'm sad about what happened to gaming. If anyone wants to insult me for what I said below, they must be one of that kids and retards or something. I'm gamer since 1990's and started with games from 1980's, I know what I'm talking about.

Games you have to pay for becoming "Free"2Play. Just without the free... Game industry goes to shit.
Pay full price for the game, and then you have to buy items with mini-transactions, fucking awesome. More and more stupid cosmetic DLCs, more and more mini-transactions. This is not about quality anymore for years. just about money. Don't forget to charge for even starting the game... Pay To Win... gaming is worse and worse.
CAPCOM is / was charging for some DEMO version of their game. And to be able to use codes / cheats in single player.
What next? We will have to pay just to watch a trailer for the game or screenshots. Just go fuck yourself already you fucking greedy assholes with all your DLCs etc... First make a high quality game.
But I understand, nowadays gamers are stupid too much, they know shit about games,because they are growing with nowadays games with full of DLCs etc...And crying about bad graphics, and it's easy to fool them with your shitty games and DLCs, they didnt see anything better... Just for you kids,good graphics doesnt make a game good. If you are crying about bad graphics in game,then you sux and you know shit about games.CoD fanboys think they are badass and PRO players, but you play worst game in the world.And this nowadays CoD gaming standard makes me sick.Can't wait for current-gen players and CoD fanboys to insult me.

"Games you have to pay for becoming "Free"2Play. Just without the free... Game industry goes to shit." - please tell me you do realize that doesn't make any lick of sense.
It's just optional micro transaction, relax. They've been around for a long time and in fact were made popular by Valve in Team Fortress 2, even before TF2 became f2p. So you payed for TF2 and then you payed for hats if you wanted to. Just like in Dead Space 3 - you pay if you want to, but you can still get everything even if you don't want to pay.
I swear SG forums is like an even more retarded version of gamefaqs... on steroids.

Well, i've seen micropayments in many korean/japanese F2P MMORPG in the early 2000s.
As far as i remember, those were not "purely cosmetic" items.
Many people were forced by the peer presure to purchase those items, if they wanted to play on the top of the ranking ladder.
I think because of this behavior or mentality if i can call it like that, it evolved and found its way into the mainstream of game development.
I think that micropayment customer milking trend is older than TF2.
Well, just my theory.

Developers nowadays are too greedy. The gaming industury is getting worse and worse. Where are games with lots of unlockables? Why do they make a DLC for a goddamn skin instead of making in unlockable? It's just a different skin, not so much work with that. "Work less, earn more" that's the principle many developers follow. Let's hope it'll change for better someday.

I'm glad someone isn't brainwashed and can understand me. Yes, I remember in old games that you had to unlock all that weapons and costumes. Now, you have to pay for them. It's really worse...

Yup, that's what ADHD stands for. Not many of today's gamers have the patience for an adventure anymore; shooters sell because that's what everyone likes these days.
The sad truth is today's gamers are dumber than how we used to be. You want hardcore? Try completing Myst by yourself... back in my day we didn't have gamefaqs (or internet for that matter) to look for solutions. We had to do it ourselves, without cheating. Nowadays gamers complain about everything, even about option cheats in the form of micro transactions, that nobody forces them to buy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, there was no internet and for game solutions you had to get a gaming magazine or have a friend who finished the game. And the "rumors" about the game your friends used to tell you. Some of them were so stupid it's almost unbelievable.
And without internet, there was more games with local multiplayer. And local multiplayer with awesome friends is one of the greatest things you can experience in gaming. Nowadays, even racing games lack local multiplayer.

I didn't even need internet before. I didn't miss it. I like to play co-op more on 2 computers / screens. You have the whole display for yourself, and not the cut. But I wanted to play Dead Space 2 with brother, split screen. And I read that EA said it won't have split screen... Stupid. I heard a lot of games don't have anymore... Which is stupid if you wanna play with someone in one room. I remember when I used to play versus mode two players in Syphon Filter on playstation 1, split screen, and we always put a book or something to middle of TV to dont see each others screen :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Split screen is bad because you see less, that is right. But hey, you don't need multiple copies of game for split screen.
And if you're playing online, it's still better to have the other player somewhere near you, so you can easily communicate. I played RE5 with brother that way, and it was awesome(btw this game would be much worse on single player).
One more thing, some games don't need split screen, like Super Smash Bros or 2D Sonic games.

That's stupid. So RE6 won't be split-screen too probably. So you played it Split screen on console? Or you said you was playing in close to him? That reminds me how much I hate that no sense PC vs console wars.

It is changing developers/company approach to making games. We already can see DLC that are almost "mandatory" for some games. DLCs that are not purely cosmetics but adds background story, new characters, new missions. If the game is single player, at release costs $60 and within the next week of its release there are DLCs for $20 you got cheated.

It's funny, people say for $60 they want the "complete version" of the game. As in no more payments. If these completely optional purchases meant to speed up the process is the "complete" game to you... does that mean you just want an easy game where things are handed to you for doing virtually nothing? Is that what complete means now? All content is accessible without spending an additional dime.
While I do think they are leeches for wanting to bank in on the laziness of the casual gamer... it literally has zero effect on me. I can't blame them either, especially if people out there actually want to pay.

No, it's from the original. Even the big cardboard box that PS1 games originally shipped in. It's also the cover of the Saturn release as well I believe. Directors Cut just had the zombies head on it.
I liked Resident Evil 5 a lot and from what I've seen Resident Evil 6 looks good too. If I need classic survival horror, there are other games to fill that void. Or I'll bust out the ol' Gamecube emulator and play some REmake. Not too heartbroken. ;-]

If the game works normaly then i don't care. If they make the game tedious or very hard because they want you to spend money then yes it is a problem.
But i have to admit that the fact i have to pay for the game and then to get the full experience is quite disturbing. Microtransactions made sense for F2P games so they could keep going, but if they already made money then i don't see why.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know. Games were about skill, or knowing the trick, they weren't about spending days grinding. Sure some games had grinding but it was unnecessary to beat the game.
If a game is tedious then it's no fun, and i play to have fun. Just my personal opinion.

I stand by the fact that people are just spoiled now. The coop Mario games on the Wii are very reminiscent of old school Mario games... but they aren't difficult, they are short, no one cares about them. People are better at games now, and expect 300+ hours of content. You can't come out with "tricks" to make a game harder, people have it beaten in the first night or just look up how to beat it. And traditionally short, simple games are beefed up with filler/grinding... otherwise people don't feel they got their $60 worth.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree that in a way gamers are more spoiled now, it's easier to get games now than it was 20 years ago. Before a bad game was better than nothing, now we just move to the next game without any worry.
Mario games were harder or maybe i was less good when they were for nes. But although easier i enjoy the one for wii and ds too.
Games are usually longer now, but we even play at a faster speed than before and internet gives such easy access to information that now when someone is stuck on a game he simply looks online on how to do it, before if you were stuck you would ask friends and/or spend days trying to beat it.
I prefer a shorter game that entertain me over a long one that bores me. But i see your point there, if i pay 60 bucks and the game is one hour long then yes i would feel cheated.

Well it's not longer a survival horror game either. It's an action game almost FPS. Whatever.

I dont mind. I dont care AS LONG as there's nothing MISSING from the game or gameplay if I DON'T pay. if paying just makes the game easier, by letting you upgrade or get new weapons QUICKER, or makes you more powerful QUICKER, then that's fine. I've heard a lot of people saying FUCK EA for being greedy or unscrupulous, but nah.. not really... its the gamers who are happy to keep paying for this shit that I blame - EA is just giving them the facility to do it. They wouldn't put this crap into games if it wasn't an earner for them. I mean if some idiot was throwing millions of dollars from the roof of a building... wouldn't you go get a bucket to catch it?

Well if you really liked what you saw, but I personally couldn't give in to Origin. Not for Dead Space at least.
From what I've seen, Dead Space 3 has taken the F.E.A.R. 3 approach, adding a co-op feature. Dead Space was always very story focused. So having someone else running around doing things you don't want them to do, kills that for me :/ And similar to F.E.A.R. 3, the co-op killed the fear factor.
Dead Space and Metroid? I've never felt/seen that similarity to be honest. I haven't seen much of Dead Space 3 so maybe you're right. EA can't truly beat Metroid though lol.

€A in it's "glory". How many game series have €A ruined? Exactly, I lost counting too. Lets take successful game (if it is not ours, then lets buy that game studio or the rights for that), lets make a sequel, but with a twist... lets suck that franchise dry by milking the old and new fans of the series. If your a fan, then it is really hard to say no and boycott. But everyone has a limit for such a thing and hopefully more and more people will start to avoid €A (and other like €A) products (or at least will not voluntarily attach themselves to that milking machine). I really miss the old days, when you could go, buy and play a game that had no content cut out, no big technical issues (this is another big issue with games nowadays), properly tested, didn't need to be connected to some faulty DRM service to play it etc.
EDIT: Just checked the Origin status page: http://i.imgur.com/3OFA8ij.jpg It made me laugh and sad at the same time =P

EA sucks. Did you really think there is a franchise, which they won'T destroy eventually? I love Dead space, but I won't give my money to €A.

Yep, confirmed.
Dead Space 3 will now feature micro-transactions.

Personally I think this is utter BS. It is a 60$ game, there should be no option of spending additional money on it. (Good/worthwhile) DLCs are an exception.
The RPS article brings up an interesting (or disgusting) point, these transactions are generally put into games to avoid tedium. One reason why F2P models work well, the good ones anyway. What happens if the game is gimped on purpose to include tedious sections? I would not put that past EA.
