They can just not on an issue this stupid.
I really can't complain about free DLC that is packaged with the game when you buy it new. If it was locked on the disk, that would suck, but it's not.
In this situation, the bonus missions are exactly that; after all, the game is not Catwoman: Arkham City.
Is it crazy that publishers want to see the money from the people who buy the game? Because they don't when you buy used. For the longest time, people who buy used are getting the same gaming e...
The Catwoman content is not locked behind an online pass.
It is DLC.
Day One, single-player DLC and it is not on the disk; you have to download the content. This is an incentive for buying the game new, not punishment for buying used.
In fact, having played quite a few of hours of Arkham City, I've only played as Catwoman twice. In the very beginning of the game (which was no surprise because that entire section was shown in the E3 foota...
Activision is charging $50 a year for early access to new CoD maps and bonus content.
I think that's worse.
That proves my point.
When I go see a movie, it costs at least $10.
If I can expect to spend more than 12 hours on a game, is it not fair to pay $60?
This is based on the original show. Not the new one that sucked.
Other form of media don't have the replayability or consume the resources that games do.
A CD is maybe 45 minutes of music.
A movie is 90-120 minutes, give or take.
Even books are a few hundred pages.
For all of these, the experience is exactly the same every time.
A game today is expected to be 5-7 hours of play with a multiplayer component (co-op or competitive) that is expected to be always accessible and provided by the publi...
The argument against online passes in this particular instance is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. You wanted to buy Arkham City new but now you don't because of a free one time pass that unlocks additional single player content? And some are going to use that as an excuse to pirate the game thus validating the publisher for using online passes in the first place?
People are ridiculous.
You don't want to pay the standard price for a new game, fine...
I actually haven't played it and was asking an honest question. I've always had the feeling (said Spidey Sense) that it wasn't good. I wasn't blown away by the trailers and the reviews were pretty mixed.
Oh well.
I need this game.
Not when they get around to stocking the shelves.
Now.
Was the first one any good?
My Spidey Sense says no and it's rarely wrong.
I doubt it. Revelations is the end of the Ezio trilogy and Ubisoft has hinted that they are working toward the moment when the Desmond timeline intersects with the release schedule.
That's next year.
2012=Assassin's Creed III
I'm sure your TV is newer than a system released in 2006.
The Uncharted Fortune Hunter game is unlike anything I've played on Home. Simple and fun. Plus, I'm liking the new Hub setup.
Sony does both. They have Kevin Butler ads which are more for hyping the system and story ads that only feature the game. They do this for every PS3 game.
There was another Resistance 3 TV ad without Butler that was in rotation just as much.
I let a friend borrow Heavy Rain and he hated it. I asked what ending he got and he told me the things that happened during his play-through and I realized what the problem was.
He sucked at it. Hard.
He made every wrong choice possible to the point where the game leads you by the hand to the lamest possible outcome. He said the story sucked but the truth is the way he played HIS story sucked. The game isn't perfect by far but it does reward you for takin...
This content is DLC and there have been DLC related trophies and achievements in games before this. Usually those trophies don't count toward a 100% completion.
Regarding your second point, why would WB compensate people for free content? It's not their fault that some people don't have internet access.
The Catwoman missions are supplemental content; not essential to the main story.
The only reason people are up in arms over this is because the developer did not say that in the beginning. They said "Look, you get to play as Catwoman! Isn't that cool?"
Now they reveal you have to unlock it with a code that's in the case and people freak.
Like it or not, the online pass is here to stay. Even more so as gaming goes more digit...
Is Batman the star of the game or Catwoman? It's a DLC add-on.
I've played it and the Catwoman content of the game is unrelated to the main story. It's like while Batman is doing one thing, Catwoman is doing something completely different that has nothing to do with anything in the main campaign.
Besides the only people that this DLC affects are the people who didn't want to buy new (and those without internet but they have bigger problems).
