Capcom is ripping ppl off and milking gamers because of the DLC multiplayer that should have been part of the game to begin with.

I say its microsofts fault, they are the ones that started this charge for the internet stuff, they have totally ruined gaming, boy do i miss the time i could buy a game and get the whole game, and not have to buy the rest of it through DLC , If it wasnt for live and gaming companies seeing how stupid alot of gamers are that they will pay for anything, things that should be free we wouldnt have that problem

Next generation they are gonna charge you an extra 5 dollars just for the instruction manual , why? just because they can, and ppl will pay for it.

Hey microsoft thanks for ruining gaming!

This is a terrible thing, but I don't think it has ruined gaming. And DLC can still be a good thing in some cases.

Easy TC. I don't think the lame DLC's are tied to MS charging for internet. They are tied to EVERY platform. Yes, there are lame DLC's everywhere. You could be making a stand here and getting others to follow. That actually might do some good. But here you are turning this into some fanboy debate where nothing positive will come from it. Nice work. :roll:

Your hatred for Microsoft has led you to some pretty ignorant conclusions. How have they ruined gaming? By releasing 2 competitive consoles and many great games? Those bastards!

Blame theidiots who buy pointless DLC. Without them, it doesn't exist.If you avoid the trash, there is some pretty cool stuff out there for DL that actually enhances the games. I suppose all of the DLC that you have to pay for on the PS3 can be blamed on MS too, right? What about Wii Ware? Think before you speak.

In addition, do you really think Capcom execs are sitting at home crying right now because evil MSFORCED them to charge money for DLC costumes on SF4? You have some serious misconceptions about the business world. Nobody forced them to do anything. They're a corporation. Know what those are for? It's called making money.

I agree. Microsoft isn't the only company out there with a system that has DLC, and it is not their fault.

Woah, back up. MS did not start charging for downloadable stuff. That only works if you don't count anything before Live on any of the other platforms.

I blame Al Gore, after all he invented the internet, and if he did not invent the internet there would not be any DLC. Thank you Al.:roll:

It is not MS fault for having DLC, and some DLC is pretty good, why only blame MS for the bad stuff?

your one of the ppl who you call idiots, ALL DLC is pointless, extra maps? should have been free, lost and the damned? should have came with the game. there is no DLC, you pay $60 dollars, there should be alot more content on these games then 8 hours of game play, then charging 5 bucks for a few more hours of game play.

there is no good DLC for $60 dollars i should get everything that becomes available as DLC included. Its microsofts fault.

You're hilarious, and I can't believe you're calling me an idiot. First, you have no idea whether I've bought ANY DLC before, let alone the crap that's on the level of horse armor. Should things like extra costumes a week after release have been included on the disc? Of course, but things like extra maps, Lost and the Damned......come on. That stuff was developed and released months later. IT DIDN'T EXIST WHEN THE GAME WAS RELEASED. Oh, and next time, before you call someone an idiot, you should use the correct form of "you're" in your sentence. Grow up, and get over your fanboyish hatred of Microsoft. They've done a lot for the gaming industry, whether it be the Xbox or PC's. You having a completely immature grudge against them doesn't make them evil.

How is that MS' fault? Because YOU think ALL DLC is pointless? Some people actually LIKE some DLC, one fanboy rant does not mean ALL DLC is pointless, its your opinion and nothing more.

I bought my car and it came with a stock stereo, I put a better sound system in it, so is it my car manufacturers fault because I wanted a better sound system in it?

Decided to pop over to GT to see the new Batman trailer and low and behold a twin thread is on their forum bar on the right side of the main page. :roll:

By your logic you should blame Apple. Blame them for proving consumers are willing to pay for digital content. Makes about as much sense.

Whether or MS started the DLC idea or not is irrelevant. The fact is not all DLC is made equal and is not priced proportional to the content, and that is not Microsoft's fault. Not only that, but different people will have different opinions as to how much something extra is worth. For example, $5 for (many good) extra multiplayer maps is a tough pill to swallow for someone that grew up on PC games like me, but at least it's content that I know takes a decent amount of manpower to make from creation, texturing, balance, etc. Charging a few bucks for a silly costume (SF4, LBP) to me is rediculous.

Lol, truth is, I don't really know. I remember reading something about it though.

Edit:

Precursors to DLC

The earliest form of digital distribution in video games was the Atari 2600'sGamelineservice, which allowed users to download games using a telephone line. A similar service,Sega Channel, allowed for the downloading of games to theSega Genesisover acableline.

While the Gameline and Sega Channel services allowed for the distribution of entire titles, they did not offer Downloadable Content for existing titles. Perhaps the closest the services came to offering true DLC was Shiny Entertainment's special edition of Earthworm Jim offered over the Sega Channel, though it too was still a stand-alone download.

wikipedia

MS gets critizised on that same Wikipedia page though.:P (just to be fair)

Criticism of Microsoft

Microsoft has especially borne the brunt of criticism regarding downloadable content.[13]They were the first to charge money for it.

Microsoft has since then been known to force developers to release their content at a charge, when the developers would rather release their content for free.[14]Some content has even been withheld from release because the developer refused to charge the amount Microsoft required.[14][15]Epic Games, a developer known for continual support of their older titles with downloadable maps and updates, believed that releasing free downloadable content over the course of a game's lifetime helped increase sales throughout, and had succeeded well with that business-model in the past, but was forced to implement Microsoft's strategy of fee-based downloads when releasing content for their Microsoft-published game,Gears of War.[14][16]

Every company is to blame, gaming is more of a business now and with business comes new ways of ripping off consumers. It didn't used to be this way but now it is.

Regarding that criticism of MS and charging for DLC, there is more to the story than what was written in Wikipedia (gee, what a surprise :roll: )

MS position is that it forces developers to charge for content so that it "levels the playing field". Obviously, a company like Epic can afford to release maps for free and considered it an advertising cost. Smaller developers usually cannot afford to give things away, as they are already working from much smaller budgets to begin with.

I don't agree with this practice, but I can at least understand where MS is coming from.

You know what`s pissing me off? People asking: `Is it going to have DLC?` even before the game is out. What? I paid 60 bucks and now I have to pay more because certain content was cut off/not included in the original version?

I hate free DLC too. Finish your game so people won`t have to clutter their hard drives with content that should have been there already, damn it! Yes, Burnout Paradise, I`m looking at you.

So, when a game is created and released, with no DLC, a few months after the game is released, the devs say, "Hey, heres a good idea to put into the game." They go and make that idea happen then add it to the DLC list, you don't think they deserve to be paid for the work they have done to bring that DLC to life?

They are not forcing you to buy it, so they are not ripping you off if you don't buy it. Last gen games came out, and after beating them that was it. Now they are releasing more more content to prolong the life of games. If it were b4 they would just release another version of the game, and you would have to buy the game again. Like Morrowind, and Persona 3 FES edition. DLC has been out for a while but they were caled "expansion packs", and they were on discs.

If you don't like the DLC for RE5 don't buy it, problem solved, Im not buying it too because it's ridiculous and I kinda agree with you on how ridiculous some companies are treating the gamers with DLC.

I mean Capcom blatantly said that there were some concept characters ready for SFIV and if people want them they should ask for them and they would include the character/s in DLC, what a load of crap, The characters were ready but noooooo they don't want to put the full game in the disk instead they want to rip us fans of the series to pay extra for extra characters because they know we can't resist this kinda offer.

Every company is to blame along with ever consumer who purchases DLC. Companies wouldn't make DLC unless they knew people out there would buy it and most DLC I have seen so far is so dumb, couldve easily been added to the original game. However companies love moeny and they know people will go out and buy this DLC so they tack it on later(IE horse armor for Oblivion, or the alternate costumes for SF4, I love SF4 but I refuse to sponsor this DLC milkage). So EVERYONE is to blame for this but you could make an argument that the consumer more than anyone else is to blame.

You dont have to buy the DLC.

Well if you love RE5 and purchased the game for retail only to find out that you have to pay extra for online that should be included in the game, I believe that's outrageous and despicable on Capcoms part.

Easy TC. I don't think the lame DLC's are tied to MS charging for internet. They are tied to EVERY platform. Yes, there are lame DLC's everywhere. You could be making a stand here and getting others to follow. That actually might do some good. But here you are turning this into some fanboy debate where nothing positive will come from it. Nice work. :roll:PoppaGamer
Arhmmm... Why downloading patches and... other stuff is mostly free on the PC market... :roll:

You don't like it? Blame the market.

And so we go to the first rule of...

A product only exists if there's a market for it.

If people weren't interested in DLC (or willing pay for it) payed DLC would have died a long time ago.

But -surprise- people like it, and are ready to pay for it.

It's not like MS is forcing us to buy it.

It has a market, and that's is not MS's "fault".

Get over it.

Microsoft is trying to build a need, not answering to a need. It's entirely their fault, why is PSN free? WHy is Wii online is free?

If Microsoft was really respecting the market, the xbox division, whic is a damn financial hole, would have been closed a long time ago.

Redgarl:"Microsoft is trying to build a need, not answering to a need."

Which DLC is a need? I can play 100% of my games without any kind of payed DLC.

why is PSN free? Redgarl

Because the PS3 is the most expensive console in the market. Adding additional costs wouldn't have been wise.

WHy is Wii online is free? Redgarl

Because is nowhere as good as PSN or Live. It is unlikely that people would have payed for it.

I can't take this sentence seriously, sorry.

The last sentence could be said to Nintendo for the past two gens and Sony this gen, it's called competition to provide the best products for "customers".

First of all, by your standard a 200$ PC should have an additionnal fee to connect to the internet which is aberant especially when Microsoft is the wealthiest cie of the 3. You are getting rip-off and you don't even care about it.

Secondly, the PS3 is more expensive because of the Blu-ray player costing alone more than 200$, so, in fact you are getting more with a PS3 which prove you wrong.

Plus, the Wii is having a worst online mode in comparaison with xbox live, but the same could be said for xbox live vs PC... which is totally free. Playing MMO Valve games online on PC are cheaper to play on PC than on xbox live, you can play CSS and TF2 with a 300$ PC.

Finally, microsoft have lost billions of $ with his xbox division and they still lose money because of their crappy hardware quality that lead the 360 to get a peak of 30% of their production getting RRoD. It's still even in the air after 4 years on the market. Open your eyes and admit it's a damn finacial hole! Only a fool can deny it.

Nintendo has almost always been profitable... they never lose a damn penny on the hardware... the only real lost was about the Virtual Boy.

As for Sony, when the Blu-ray drive will really replace the DVD, Sony will simply get 10 times in profit the amount of their actual lost. Totally the opposite with Microsoft, they are about at the same place with the first xbox... and they are still losing money like hell except when a Halo game is released.

Let's see...

Sigh. I pay for connecting to the internet, you know? To my internet company.

Now, MS offers an additional service, and if they WANT, they can decide to offer it for free or not. They decided no, and the market answered possibly.

I'm paying for an additional service that I think it is worth the fee. How's that a rip-off?

[QUOTE="Redgarl"]

Redgarl

I'll tell you how this pricing stuff works. Before releasing a product, a company spends a lot of time doing research about the best possible price.

When Sony did theirs, they probably discovered that with a $600 launch price, people would probably not pay for any additional service, even if they got a Blue_ray player in the box.

That's EXACTLY what I said, so how do your sentence prove mine wrong?

Plus, the Wii is having a worst online mode in comparaison with xbox live, but the same could be said for xbox live vs PC... which is totally free. Playing MMO Valve games online on PC are cheaper to play on PC than on xbox live, you can play CSS and TF2 with a 300$ PC.

Redgarl

You are confusing things. It is not a question of which is better. Is a question of what would the people pay for.

Do you think people would pay for Nintendo's online? I don't. And probably Ninty agrees, because it is free.

Do you think people would pay for Live? Obviously they do, that's why it has a fee.

So have WoW, etc etc.

Finally, microsoft have lost billions of $ with his xbox division and they still lose money because of their crappy hardware quality that lead the 360 to get a peak of 30% of their production getting RRoD. It's still even in the air after 4 years on the market. Open your eyes and admit it's a damn finacial hole! Only a fool can deny it.

1. MS gaming division became profitable this gen.

2. According to you, every company that has a non-profit momento should be closed down? By that logic, most auto-companies should have closed down this years (Ford, General Motors, Opel, Toyota, Volkswagen, Fiat, BMW, just to name a few), and Sony should have closed their gaming division this gen.

Nonsense.

Capcom is ripping ppl off and milking gamers because of the DLC multiplayer that should have been part of the game to begin with.

I say its microsofts fault, they are the ones that started this charge for the internet stuff, they have totally ruined gaming, boy do i miss the time i could buy a game and get the whole game, and not have to buy the rest of it through DLC , If it wasnt for live and gaming companies seeing how stupid alot of gamers are that they will pay for anything, things that should be free we wouldnt have that problem

Next generation they are gonna charge you an extra 5 dollars just for the instruction manual , why? just because they can, and ppl will pay for it.

Hey microsoft thanks for ruining gaming!

bytgames

Wait!! Last time I checked Sony does the same thing. Also did you forget about home? "Wow i'm going to pay a Sh*t load of money for my characters fake clothing and furniture for my fake room that nobody is going to bother looking at." Yeah I think it's stupid to pay for a multiplayer add-on that should have been there, but I'm not going to blame it on one company. If you look into the past, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo was going to start micro-transactions. This isn't new, take a look at pc games. They have been doing it for years. So don't hate on M$ until you do some studying. Thank you and have a nice day!!!

I think it's great that all the companies are charging fees for DLC. This is what gamers wanted and it's what gamers are getting.

By the way....If you don't like the idea of something, then don't buy or give into it. Take that advice, it might just help you in the future.
