Lmao! DMC Dante's Original Outfit DLC for $4.00?!

Lol, I saw this coming miles away as soon as I saw Devil May Cry was being re-imagined. This is a new low even for Capcom. Hard to believe Capcom is the same dev that made Dragon's Dogma.What's next? The original 'Mega Man Slim Blue Skin' DLC when the new Mega Man finally releases with the obese, bumblebee Mega Man?

I guess Capcom's middle finger to original Dante fans only applies to those not willing to pay extra.

Pathetic.

What's more pathetic is that people will actually shell out to buy it. What's more stupid, developers releasing rip off dlc or consumers lapping it up?my_name_is_ron

Reminds me of CoD "dlc".

damn that's really harsh and low... was not expecting that seriously

Lol @ buying digital clothing for even a dollar :P

Years later...

Capcom: I was once the learner but now I am the master.

Team Fortress 2: Only a master of evil, Capcom.

People will still pay up for it, so cleary we have only ourselves to blame.

a lot of games charge for additional skins. It doesn't affect gameplay and doesn't diminish the retail product in any way that you feel like you have to purchase it to get the complete DmC experience, so I'm not really seeing the big deal.

Looking forward to the Virgil's Downfall content.

Same ol' Good ol' Capcom. :lol:

If people really had a problem with DLC it wouldn't have become such a lucrative business model.

that said, lol at the idiots buying this and lol at the people who feel entitled to it.

Jesus. That's annoying that they're even charging for it, but $4?

Yup, saw this coming from miles away as well. I'd even considered getting one...

...but 4 $ or Euro.....WOW :|

Capcom, the F in their name stands for Fairness.

It is overpriced to be certain but the full game is excellent and doesn't require this skin to enjoy it so who cares?

it makes me feel highly uncomfortable to think that there might be people walking this planet that, when faced with a choice of all the things you could possibly do with $4, will choose to spend it on re-skinning a video game character. this is a single player game right? i mean i can sort of understand that people want their character to look different in multi player games, but this..

I shouldn't be surprised but for some reason I am...

Why would that make you highly uncomfortable?

4 bucks is a cheap combo meal at Taco Bell so I hardly think a person who opts to nab this is some sort of money-wasting moron.

Also, as somebody who doesn't do much multiplayer, I'd be more open to buying single-player content than multiplayer.

well, because, and please correct me if i'm wrong, it's the same game, the same character, basically the same pixels but in different colours. it makes me feel uncomfortable because i can't imagine what on earth goes on between a player and a game if something like this is significant to them. moreover, significant enough to spend money on. i can't imagine buying this over food and i can't imagine how you can call this "content".

the way i play games and how serious i take them is apparently so far removed from how some other gamers and a large publisher perceive this, that uncomfortable was the friendliest way i could think of to describe how that makes me feel.

It's a skin, nothing more. I think most character DLC skins are frivolous purchases but given how much some people adore the original design of Dante it isn't hard to imagine people nabbing it. I certainly wouldn't be so bold as to suggest there is something mentally wrong with a person who decided to purchase this skin even though I think the price is ridiculous nor would I care to speculate on the nature of their lives or gaming habits based on an impulse buy.

i am somewhat confused by your reply. you seem to be defending this yet bring out terms as money wasting moron and now talk about there being something mentally wrong with a person that buys this, which you would never suggest but still throw in there for some reason. unless you are trying to suggest that these are my qualifications which is not the case, i never mentioned mental capabilities and applied everything i read to myself and my lack of understanding this dlc after trying, hoping that this thread would help me on my way towards doing so.

i also don't like to speculate about people that i do not know. that doesn't stop me from voicing my opinion on this dlc and taking it one step further by suggesting that there might be more important things to spend money on as a character skin, and indirectly raising the question what it really is that you get when you buy this.

I'm playing Dragon's Dogma, another Capcom game. Crap pops up on screen like "Your journey may be made easier by purchasing DLC weapons and equipment" or "If you see a pawn with exotic or rare equipment, it may be from a DLC pack".

Oh for chrissakes :roll:

Oh no! Optional cosmetic DLC? Evil!!! -.-MethodManFTW

There's really nothing to be confused about. I found your initial statement to be a grossly hyperbolic admonishment of anybody who would opt to buy this DLC, as if such a transgression was indicative of a person's lack of character or was so mystifying a decision that it required some manner of complex analysis or explanation to fully comprehend.

If that wasn't your intention I would urge you to be more selective in your choice of words as those words are the only metric we have for evaluating your meaning and intentions.

[QUOTE="MethodManFTW"]Oh no! Optional cosmetic DLC? Evil!!! -.-Justforvisit

While most DLC is questionable this entire thing is being blown way out of proportion. The DLC is $4 for three skins, not just one like everyone mentions. Comparatively, this is pretty common. Please show me DLC that only costs $5 yet you get new maps, vehicles, and weapons because I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Besides, this isn't Dante's original look but rather his appearance from DMC3. He has changed with each individual title while possessing white hair and the red trech coat.

[spoiler] You unlock white hair Dante at the end of DMC anyway. [/spoiler]

used to beat games on hard difficulty to unlock things like that , now you have to buy it ... sad.

See, I didn't even realize that.

4 bucks for three skins isn't that far off the norm in terms of typical DLC pricing.

I agree, this is being blown far out of any reasonable proportion.

You don't "have" to buy anything.

This is ancillary DLC that isn't even related to the core content, which incidentally is centered on an entire redesign.

Lol, I guess Capcom's middle finger to original Dante fans only applies to those not willing to pay extra.

In that case, I plea guilty for reason of higher standards on both accounts.

Grammaton-Cleric

point taken. at the same time i in turn might urge you to not put words in other people's mouths.

i can't decide how people choose to spend their money and i am in no position to judge someone's character or mental capabilities by a single purchase decision nor did i ever intend to. the admittedly gross exaggeration was not intended as a personal attack on anyone intending to buy this but more of an attempt to raise some questions and start a discussion, which it did, albeit in the completely wrong direction as far as i'm concerned. i do stick by my initial sentiment that this makes no sense to me and i hope that this dlc will be a failure if only for the message it sends to publishers which affects me as a gamer too, even if i want nothing to do with it.

but in stead of debating what i meant let me try to explain why it makes no sense to me. oh, and yes, more exaggeration will take place.

first; let's say i bought this game. i would have completed it by now in it's original form. the developers came up with a setting, story, characters etc and through art direction all this came to life. i can assume all the choices that were made were conscious decisions to tell a story or set an engrossing framework for the action to take place in. now i am going to decide that the clothes of the main character should be different. why? i don't know. to me there must be some major flaws in the product for it to allow me to even get to a point where i start to worry about what outfit my character is wearing. what does it say about my enjoyment if i can't overlook this insignificant detail? can't i just imagine an outfit myself if it means so much to me? but fine, my wish is answered with this dlc, hurray for technology. i purchase it, the outfits look really good, i like my in-game characters to dress well and money is no issue. so now what? am i going to replay the game with all the different outfits? will it change my experience somehow? will it spark a whole new interest in that same game, that plays, feels and looks the same except for the outfit?

second; imagine the publisher point of view. developers came up with this game, did their best to deliver a great product. it's getting more than decent reviews and maybe good sales too. so how are you going to interpret this as a publisher? is it A: "well great work team! let's keep doing this and give our fans more goodness to enjoy. during the production i heard some great ideas for expanding on the story and action or even making a whole new game. let's allocate some of the revenues to see where these ideas could lead". or is it B: "our game is a success team! maybe we should have charged more or perhaps we can think of something to make customers pay more for the same game and turn our success into more money. but wait we really don't want to spend any more money first so we can't really offer something new. how about we think of something that is more of the same but feels new?"

which are you more likely to encourage by buying a product such as this? do you happen to remember the horse armor dlc for oblivion and the response it got? i see people complain about dlc very often. stuff gets cut out of games to be sold later. stuff gets locked in your game to be sold to you later. isn't it mystifying that people think this is normal?

$4 for a skin? haha wow.Rattlesnake_8

What I said. This is just plain silly.
