What happened to buying a game for around $20.00+ and have EVERYTHING included in it?
*cries* 😭😑😪😓
Wow! 16 years! You're in there good and deep 😶 I wouldn't be surprised if you owned 3/4 of the online store lol but it's awesome in a way. A big acheivement in a small way 😋

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now! It's pretty cool how you can be satisfied with all the make do stuff. I think I would lose interest and want to see what other things I could get IF I paid money lol
Oh yeah those games are definitely DLC. Be careful of those ones. Sure they're free but a majority of the content cost munnneyyyyy 😑😶 but yeah man the quality is awesome sauce 😬👍🏽
LOL that first part was amusingly true 😂
I really find that hard to believe when a lot of those games are around! But I am definitely sure there are a handful around.. Left.. Still
Haha yeah unfortunately.
Well it is true, Titanfall 2 is a good example of one such game you get a great campaign and multiplayer and as thanks for buying and supporting the game every DLC is free so new weapons, gear, titans etc all free. But they give you a shop were you can buy things like camo for your pilot and titan and insignias or deluxe skins for your titans so basically cosmetics only but only if you want them, you don't have to buy them.
But everything game changing is free which is pretty nice.
In most cases game may cost "x" amount, but the upgrades like different clothing, weaponry, more missions, variety of transport, quickly making equipment appear straight away instead of waiting for hours etc can cost from $5.99 USD per item. Sometimes buying gold bars or coins (each are portioned and the more you want the higher it is) can cost up to $160.00 (which would be more expensive for me because the Australian dollar is cheaper compared to the U. A dollar). Which in that situation sucks hardcore for me.
But I do see your point and it's very true also
Games are still $50.00 lol
What I'm saying is that back in the day you could buy a game and have EVERYTHING included in it. Whether that would be types of clothing, certain weaponry, maps, unlocking all the cool cars and motorbikes. You can't really do it now.. hence why some games are DLC now.
Well you can do that, but you have to fork out more money (on top of already buying the game). Some people say you buy what you want and not really lose money, but i just rather have everything included in it. If I need maps i shouldn't have to fork out money to get it
You ignored the part about inflation. $50 in the 90's is about $70-$80 now. Games like Minecraft, No Man's Sky and Tales From Borderlands were all $20 at release. It's only because the programmers had DLC in mind when they released the games.
The same concept has been applied to computers/laptops. It used to be that a Windows PC came with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint and a bunch of other crap which would raise the price of your PC. Now people have the option to purchase those things which bring the price of a PC way down.
Izumiblu explained it well. Most of the time it's just additional (which can be valuable to any game)
"It used to be that a Windows PC came with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint and a bunch of other crap which would raise the price of your PC. Now people have the option to purchase those things which bring the price of a PC way down"
Yes I understand. I just prefer to buy everything that is included. What you said about the whole PC thing (comes with Microsoft word/excel/powerpoint) for this set price opposed to The PC costing this low but if you want any extras that will be more depending what you get (whether that would be Microsoft word blah blah blah).
I think it just defers with everyone. I think most of the time it would be considered a better "deal" to have everything included
Oh yeah! Assassins creed syndicate is like that too 😒 But yeah it's how they make money! For sure fire sure 🙃
Yeah it use to not be like that. Ages back you only needed to unlock levels or win missions and you were given rewards. Now it's you buy the game, and if you want more things you need to pay. Sometimes it can require you to play for months and months or otherwise pay $30.00 for hmm a tomahawk lol
Lol yes your so right and its very true. Im assuming they charge extra for things to milk the game and make as much money as possible off dedicated fans. Haha yes $30 for a tom a hawk is a lot unless its necessary in the game. That is the problem if its something needed and valuable then they make you pay for it. lol.
Yeah lol you think about it for a second.. *should I pay $30.00 for a tomahawk that I really need or play for months on end and get it that way* then being impatience kicks in and you buy it, because playing months on end is just to time consuming XD
Lol haha very true. The impatient part always kicks in. But with me im very patient and would wait it out if possible. Some games you can get free cheat codes. But I think the free part will be no more because of this pay for what you neef stuff. lol.
Lol that is nice your patient. lol what game are you playing that is charging $30 for a tomahawk? It must be some cool game.
I miss those games. Having to unlock levels to get rewarded with things i feel is much nicer. But everything is all about money nowadays, it's becoming annoying. Especially games
Yeah. I don't know for sure, but I would blame it on the rise of mobile games. Candy Crush and shit like that. It's all about those micro-transactions.
Touchè Marty touchè! You are definitely right about the basic "standard" part then wanting to upgrade there's definitely a price to pay (I feel like there is a story behind this but I think I know what you mean) *taps nose* 😉😎
Luckily I married a Venezuelan woman. This marketing ploy is not so common in relationships in Latin America.
A lot more family input into relationships, in general. Relatively few women are mistresses of the bosses and that sort of thing.
I almost never buy DLC for games. I've only done it for 3 games I think. Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Mass Effect. That's only because I liked those games so much and they already provided me with a couple hundred hours of fun before the DLC. It was story DLC that added many hours to the game.
One of my friends got me to try Clash Royale for free, but I'm not going to pay to win in that. That is lame.
Plus what really bugs me is when a game has paid DLC the very first day it is out. That content should have been included because it was already done. Like they purposely took it out of the retail game just to rip people off.
A lot of games are becoming DLC. Even some games you get on your mobile phones. Sometimes you download them for free but you have to buy things if you want upgrades, or the cool things (which is understandable) but the games you buy (battlefield 1 paying for the maps and the season pass for example. Assassins creed syndicate, weapons, maps, gear and missions) stuff like that kind of sucks pretttyyyyyy badddd
That whole five different thing offering crap is a headache -___- why people's just whyyyy?
Yup like in just cause 3 there is a new map which costs like 1500 ₹ to me and the while game is like 2500₹ when u purchaed it :-( hahaha
real life struggles man.. Real life struggles
*scribbles out sarcasm and draws emojis* 🙃
*scribbles out emoji's and sarcasm and doodles a dick* 😬
Nah I'm Cambodian, I've been mistaken that so many times lol
As long as they are reasonably valued it wouldn't be an issue. Sometimes it's so highly overpriced it's insane -__-
