Dead Space 3 microtransaction prices revealed

EA wont be getting people like me to purchase this game. I'm sure there are plenty of other fools who will buy into this though.

I guess I am fool then as will be buying and enjoying this game without single thought making a micro-tansaction. It is not Visceral's fault that heir publisher forced this into the game.

You also to learn to make distinctions games that EA develops and games that simply publish. I may not make a difference to you but innocent parties take collateral damage with your approach.

[QUOTE="Shielder7"]It has nothing to do with a consumers right to spend their money the way they want, it's the fact I have to pay 60$ and than pay again to avoid a grind. You're forgetting that for a 60$ retail game these things were once called a cheat code we used to get for free. It is removing the experience, you have to pay 60$ and than another 40$ to get the full experience. For a FTP game it's fine but not for a full price retail game. Zeviander

A fool and his money.

It doesn't have to affect you if you don't want.

[QUOTE="Shielder7"][QUOTE="Zeviander"] Then don't buy the game. As consumers we aren't forced to buy anything we don't want. We also aren't entitled to have our every whim fulfilled by those producing the products we buy. If you aren't happy with what is being offered, then you take your business elsewhere.

I guess this is replacing unlocking stuff ingame by playing. If this is becoming the norm whats the point in playing? I actually like working for gear and stuff in a game not paying cash for it via download. I no longer buy new games because of this. I'll wait for complete editions or I don't buy it at all.

So am I to assume you don't buy any game that weapons or costume DLC that isn't free? Or is only when comes the form of microtransaction that you draw the line?

Most people don't care about this "issue" at all be quite frank. Co-op implementation and a possible lack enough fear factor are  the issues people are concerned about with this game.

Which is funny, since the first two games in the series had just as much DLC on release as well. Why stop now?

Why would EA expect a franchise that does average 2 million million sales to jump to 5 million? If that is the case then the series is over, but only because EA is delusional and greedy. Every franchise doesn't have to be blockbuster...

It is "microtransaction"...which somehow makes it worse than other DLC.

There is no grind, you just use your scavenger bot and he gets your resources.... This is just for lazy folks who want instant gratifacation. Played the game tons, I would know.

marq4porsche

They modeled this after FTP games, which push you to buy microtransactions because it's the only way they can make money. If you think this system will have no effect on the game or games to come you're delusional. Like I said it doesn't take a genius to see where this is headed, and their excuse for it blaming the iphone gamers is ridiculous.

Well under this rationality we shouldn't complain about anything, EA implementing MP into everything, Online passes, used game blocking, DRM etc. This thread is also to inform as well as to complain so there are less people who buy this game unknowingly, so once again try and keep up.Shielder7

No thanks. McStrongfast

Thanks for adding so much to the discussion.

Care to explain?

A lot of MMOs these days have a B2P + cash shop model where you pay the full price once to play, but there is still a cash shop, such as Guild Wars 2. This is a pretty valid payment model, so... Oh wait.GhoX

It's EA so it's inherently evil.

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="Shielder7"] No it's not good, for a FTP game it is good, but for a 60$ game it's supposed to be a cheat code. Soon it will be a MMO grind fest for 60$ SP games unless you pay.Shielder7

Don't assume things.

No but it takes a genius to spell genius correctly.

Spelling errors...really?

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] We don't know if it will affect us or not. They may have designed the resource gathering to be slow enough to encourage people to pay to speed it up. If so those who don't buy suffers. Sushiglutton

You do ALSO know DS has a new game + mode where all your items gear and so on transfer over.

People will be able to farm resources accordingly.

That's what I was thinking, but our "saviour" seems to have a different idea. 

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"]

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] That's a flaw with the game's design, not the microtransactions.Cherokee_Jack

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"]You don't have to buy them dude. They are optional. Options are good.Vari3ty

Narrow-minded view. Yeah, the options are buying these items and getting the stuff instantly or grinding for an eternity to get them otherwise. Won't be doing either, EA isn't getting my money and anyone who does buy this stuff is an idiot.

Semantics...you are still paying for something that you couldn't use before. So it would make feel better that if these items where downloaded and installed to your hard drive instead? Do you realize how ridiculous that is?

The system doesn't bother because I won't use it. And I won't buy a game where paying microtrasanctions are necessary to enoy it fully...I don't think Dead Space 3 is one of those games.

It may be the beginning to a much worse form of micro transactions in games, but right now what's implemented into DS3 isn't that bad and doesn't affect you at all, so you should stop b!tching about it

[QUOTE="StrongBlackVine"]

[QUOTE="Shielder7"] No I would prefer it if they wouldn't try to charge me for thing I shouldn't have to pay for. As far as I'm concerned if it's on the disk it's mine. You wanted to know the difference I told it to you , you're not downloading content so technically it's not DLC, nor was any work put into it it cost them nothing and they're charging you for it, how can people not be upset about this? You think this is going to stop here with a little more grind if you don't want to pay again? You really think EA is above what Square Enix did with Final Fantasy All the Bravest, where they charged you to respawn? Think again this is just the beginning. Shielder7

Then don't buy the games that do that, it's simple. Like Zeviander said, vote with your wallet on the subject. Crying about it here, even if you did it all day for a year, won't change it one tiny iota. Affecting their sales on the other hand, will. 

If the microtransaction is only for SP, there's no need to freak out over it. Its up to the people themselves if they want to unlock things faster, EA isn't holding a gun to their heads.
