Dead Space 3 Awakened DLC revealed

I doubt this adds to the ending as horrible as it was.

10 bucks for the dlc so what if you already own the game for a month can we get it half off

The game is horrible

most of the commenta ive looked at your all moaning arse holes what whingers

The video game industry is imploding. QQ

@WFN Your spelling really bothers me. If English is your primary language, you need to go back to school.

This DLC is probably already on the disc

I don't care if it's disturbing. I've shredded enough necros to be desensitized to it by this point.

What I want to know is where there be real answers to the mysteries of the series? If the franchise really is killed because it doesn't sell 5,000k copies I'll be left hanging forever. Just like with Kingdom Hearts.

Much of what I'd want to say has already been said in the fine comments for this article, but there is one particular thing I'd like to point out: I don't think I've ever seen the amount of comments with 20+ likes here all stating various variants of "greedy EA", "boycott EA", "what is this nonsense EA" (with some profanity) visible here all in one comment thread. EA, you really should take a look here for why your bottom-line is flagging. If your customers feel so strongly against you, you'll end up with a Windows Vista-like situation one day where you thought you could foist a product on people and get shown the finger by the customers you thought were gullible enough to keep gulping all you're giving while openly screwing them over.

@Darkitachi54 EA should make a game about itself. Oh wait, that might actually sell then they'd put DLC for stuff like how Westwood died, why founders are leaving their studios behind, why their marketing team can't do some advertisement without picking a fight with the competition in stupid and immature ways. It'd be a another Sims.

I can't stand EA's money grubbing just like the next gamer, but I keep reading people talking about protesting games because of this and there's a problem with that. I loved the first two DS games, Visceral did a great job. I have lowered my expectations for this one but I think it will still be a fun game. But should Visceral be punished for EA's bs? It's a crappy catch 22 but when we don't support a game made by a favorable developer because of the publisher, it's always the developer that gets hit hardest. If the developer falls apart because of cutting corner well then they screwed up and need to know. However, the reason EA pushes onward is because they pick up great developers and new IPs. As gamers we are stuck in a predicament: by giving our paychecks to money grubbing publishers we support their crap, but by ignoring solid IPs we hit developers and hinder new ideas for gaming.

Also, I've found that online passes and the like seem to only be included in games that the developers/publishers aren't particularly certain customers will keep. Every time I see a game launch with an online pass, I immediately become wary. A product should be well-polished, fun, GOOD enough that the customer doesn't WANT to sell it back. How hard is this to understand? Put out games that people will want to KEEP and greedy publishers won't have to worry about losing sales to the used market. It's the same deal with movies and books and any other sort of product.

A used copy of Skyrim goes for much more than used copies of Assassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3. Despite launching a full year prior to AC3 and three months prior to ME3, Skyrim has retained its value far better than either of those and it doesn't have multiplayer or an online pass. Gamers are holding on to their copies because it's GOOD and they have no reason to sell it. Games do not require online components to survive, only developers and publishers that are not proud of their product seem to think such.

Wow, they're not even trying to be subtle. This DLC has obviously been in the works for quite some time. It's not even like skins, where they can claim the art team had nothing to do during the final stages. It's a fully-fledged expansion. The resources put towards it should've instead been invested in dealing with the game's EXISTING flaws. Jees, this is ridiculous.

It's funny because (judging by recent earnings releases) EA's just barely treading water. They're not going under and they're not raking it in. And for some reason, they seem to believe that nickel-and-diming customers will net them more cash, but this definitely won't pay off in the long run. EA'll collapse under its own weight sooner or later: it might take a while, yeah, but it'll happen.

multiplayer me3 dlc day one - lovers...opened this can of worms. damn you i hold you responsible for this quality demise!!!

Thanks to the mindless people and kids who spend the parents money, this company still exists

Yeah, keep selling incomplete games. Then, the profit will highly generate in second hand sell because people are not stupid enough to collect incomplete game(s) again and again.

Just how fucking greedy are EA, do they really have to ruin every game by trying to make money like this.

I found the price very disturbing!

Ah what a load of crap, this had to have been done before the disc went gold. This age of dlc has split game development into two teams - content for launch then content post launch.

Will wait for the collected edition 6 months down the line, which should coincide nicely with my birthday! :)

Don't blame EA, blame the fools who will purchase this.

The only thing that is disturbing here is the fact that people will still buy this cr@p...

so thats now 38 DLC Packs for a day 1 launch now is it?

Most disturbing? Oh man, if the devs say it, it must be true!...
...
...

scarier than the first one ? im buying this just for saying that

@queuing_for_PS4 @_Roo_ You do realize that none of those games have actually come out yet? So, no one knows how good they are?

@queuing_for_PS4 I just want a release date for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Is that too much to ask for?

It's so funny that I used to call EA a corrupt gaming company almost 10 years ago. After all this time they are still in business and raking in cash. Why does EA have such a bad rep and still live on? Because people continue buying their games and their copy+paste sport franchises every year.

EA would make much more money if they just charged a flat rate of $60, gave DLC free and built a trusting relationship with their customers who would attract more customers by word of mouth. Think about all the money they're losing from DS fans like me boycotting DS3 on principal, not even giving EA a penny for the game. The morons buying microtransactions will not make up the difference.

DLC announcement at the launch, you've got to be kidding. At least wait a couple weeks for god sake before telling us how you're going to suck another $10 out of us.

I think they'll be disturbed by the backlash from all the bs they've been pulling, I'm going out of my way to buy ds3 used and will not be touching the dlc

I think they'll be disturbed at how much of a rip off it turns out to be, like most DLC.

lol I am glad its no overprice season pass like they did with BO2 where you pay twice for the game and only get maps and a crappy smg that is a reskinned AR xD
