I agree - I am really sick and tired of EA milking the players dry. At least we on PC have this option - what about the poor people on Consoles?

Cheating is a choice, and whoever cheated regretted it later because it took away the fun and challenge of the game. If EA keeps up like this, in a year or two we are going to see God mode being sold in form of an armor skin for 10 dollars.

Perjoss4848d ago

I'm not defending EA, but all the DLC is optional, you can vote with your wallet, if this kind of stuff stops selling well, trust me they will either stop making it or they will just include it in the damn game instead.

Trainer have always been for people who can't beat the game by themselves. I personally don't see the point in playing a game with cheats. One can as well watch the gameplay on youtube then.

I would understand it if you were forced to buy this stuff but you are absolutely not.

"I agree - I am really sick and tired of EA milking the players dry. At least we on PC have this option - what about the poor people on Consoles?"

That is exactly the reason why Devs dont like PC gaming, they would like it dead so gamers dont have rights any more.

They would like it that everyone is on console so they can be pushed around. Long live the master race :P

Trainers are supposed to be something new now?

They are available for almoste every PC game

morganfell4848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

The DLC that actually affects your scavenging, etc in the game is completely optional and all of those items can be found in the game. The exceptions are the items such as the Sarcastic Bot personality...WHICH I GLADY BOUGHT AS DLC.

There is far less outcry, none in fact, about the Limited Edition and Gamestop/Amazon Bonus material. Two merchants where many of these people having a hissy fit bought their copies.

Hypocrites.

They bought the game now they are cheating to get items faster than the game intended and this somehow makes them superior to EA? Sorry dummies you just gave up your percieved moral high ground. And BTW, EA is laughing at you and glad you bought the game.

Waht we are really hearing is a bunch of cry babies bawling because people are playing the game and buying upgrades faster than they can earn them. Upgrades which affect these sissies in no way whatsoever. But some how they can't bear the thought of some person half a world a way not playing the game the way they do. I'll bet many of these caterwauling criers play the game on Easy.

Has it really come to the fact that people are having such a conniption over the fact that other people aren't playing the game in the same manner as them? Is this about Trophies and Achievements? Are they that shallow? Get on with you life.

Don't like it? Don't buy it. Grow up and find a new hobby. Ooops, they'll just cry about someone else not knitting exactly like them as they scream like George Costanza's mom. "What the hell are you doing!!!!"

See, hackers aren't all bad.

vega2754848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

I hope they do this for sim city 5.

@below

I'm not getting neither version or waiting for delux version. because i hate the direction they took it in. this clearly isn't the simcity I waited this long to play. as much as i was hyped for this game. the way they have sh!tted on their longtime fans.(myself included) i rather watch it flop,then to give EA or maxis my money to support game.

chasegarcia4848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

Yeah I looked at Sim city 5. They have two versions coming out(limited&deluxe). I will wait for the deluxe version price drop.

SnakeCQC4848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

the deluxe is 65 quid seriously wtf

ninjahunter4848d ago

Lol, see, this is why these quick cashins dont work on PC, On disc DLC? Cracked in the first month. Microtransactions? Cracked in the first month. Always on DRM? Cracked before the game even comes out.

Maby PC games would sell better if pirates didnt offer a better game.

adorie4848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

I'm going to refrain insulting you for your ignorance.
on console there is a game breaking glitch that allows you to to inside a door, leave, let the door close and enter again,what this does respawn random items, infinitely. You can do this on all versions of the game. This trainer just speeds up the process.

Maybe console games would sell better if publishers ceased with the cashgrab nonsense and let the studios make a game we all truly want to buy.

ninjahunter4848d ago

Oh go right ahead on insulting me, everything i said was completely accurate. Resident evil 6? On disk DLC was cracked in weeks, that goes for quite a few fighting games too. Pretty much every game ever released on PC has a crack that bypasses the DRM, and this is proof of bypassing micro transactions, not to mention the dozens of ways to avoid paying for subscription games.

And Gabe newell himself is the one that stated that the key to overcoming piracy is to offer a better service than the pirates can.

Please point out my ignorance please, i don't want to run around looking stupid because of some minor misconception.

DarkFireHawk4848d ago

I agree with your point. If it wasnt for Publisher's greed - many games would have been so much better. Not rushed, or dumbed down.

adorie4847d ago (Edited 4847d ago )

You've asked, and I delivered.

"Maby PC games would sell better if pirates didnt offer a better game."

this is nonsense. games do sell well on PC and some PC games that have ended up on console have sold better than console.

On a final note, what do pirates have to do with making a better game? I'm seriously curious about that statement and the thought behind it.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee80d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein114d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator114d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1114d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw114d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
