[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="Strutten"]

Isnt that like saying , lol you pay for minecraft when you can play "the original" for free via mc's site .. directed to spelunky .. and live fee .. you can still get for 2 bucks for 2 months .. still using that 60 $/year yet another facepalm.. cows these days seriously.-

Strutten

So in other words another butthurt lemming LoosingENDS alt who has no ground to stand on? ok..lems these days.

Not butthurt, but more like embarrased of how come some people is feeling the need to bash entertainment, its beyond me.. so im Loosingends alt now ? wth dude .. did you really reach that low ? is all just alts now , look at my join date dude .. facepalm. and my points have alot more hold to them than this typical bashing comments.. but byt the sound of it , if you feel the need to bash something , you must be butthurt or jelly.. other than that its rather embarrasing i must say no offense.

Also Updates are free on xbox, and dlc is optional, if someone decides to buy skins .. okay big deal.. :| :roll:..

why are you butthurt? Do you hate PS3 and Sony that much? :roll:

I heard about this on the minecraft forums. Having to pay for skins is just....terrible. Why don't they just include the skins in the next update instead of dlc you have to buy.

People pay extra for convenience and more pleasant environment.

Same reason they buy a Mac over Windows to run the same program.

Same reason they get an iPhone instead of Android.

Because it looks/feels nicer.

At the end of the day $5-$20-$50 isn't going to change your life, and if it does then you have bigger problems.

Want to talk about milkage look at horse armor, MMO's or Civ 5 DLC where people pay $5 to play as a different country.

People aren't dumb.

If they don't see value somewhere they won't pay.

Obviously they see something you don't, or use it in ways that you don't.

Everything comes down to time = money.

If I have to mod schit myself that takes time I could be doing something else.

Life is short and time is the most important commodity.

You are the one also coming with all these bold claims, and now you cant even back that up lulz .. guess that sw for ya .. fail

Also what does my comment(s) have too do with ps3 .. wow way too spin comments huh ? and fyi got all 4 incl pc . what ammo you got left ?

Why is it stupid? It's a great game on the Xbox. :?

98% of people in developed countries have a computer (either a PC or laptop), and Minecraft doesn't even need decent computer specs to run on. So why the hell is it on the Xbox?

Even my crappy laptop can run Minecraft. Even grandma's typical PC can run it.

It goes to show that the Xbox 360 is in desperate need for games, so it went out looking for games like this... It's a pity really.

Now, are you going to make some charts? :cool:

It's not even a mod. You can download a premade skin, go to minecraft.net, and upload it to your profile. It takes about as much time as it does to buy this DLC, and you have a much bigger selection of skins for free.

It's milkage, plain and simple.

Are these 40 skins professionally made and are they available for free?

You'll have to forgive me, I know nothing about Minecraft, it's not my type of game.

Xbox 360v ersion is still a year behind with respect to the game updates, but it features nice caveats such as XBL integration, streamlined and superior crafting system and best of all... Split screen!

There are tons of sites that offer free MC skins, here's one of the more professional ones. It's a very small pixel art skin, anyone with an image editing program and some free time can make one to use on the PC.

Well the developers actually are doing a cool thing, keeping it XBLA centric. Shame if it isn't free - Microsoft's wonderful policies and all, and yeah the PC version is better, that's no secret.

Well the intention of the thread is: 'Minecraft for 360 has paid DLC and no user creation' 'Minecraft for PC has no paid DLC and all the user creation etc.' So it's **** waving - SystemWars general. It's not 'DLC is bad despite being present on every system'.

I think he means to say the way paid DLC is being implemented today is what's ruining the game industry, which I agree with to a certain degree. At its best DLC adds new things to games, expanding on an already meaty package (Dawnguard, Episodes from Liberty City, Undead Nightmare). At its worst, DLC strips away content from games later in development and repackages it for a hefty fee (Mass Effect 3, Street Fighter X Tekken) or charges you for maps or weapons which would otherwise be free had those games been developed for platforms like the PC which aren't bound by asinine DLC regulations.

I think he means to say the way paid DLC is being implemented today is what's ruining the game industry, which I agree with to a certain degree. At its best DLC adds new things to games, expanding on an already meaty package (Dawnguard, Episodes from Liberty City, Undead Nightmare). At its worst, DLC strips away content from games later in development and repackages it for a hefty fee (Mass Effect 3, Street Fighter X Tekken) or charges you for maps or weapons which would otherwise be free had those games been developed for platforms like the PC which aren't bound by asinine DLC regulations.

to be fair though, mass effect 3 has released a bunch of new characters and maps for multiplayer for free though. and paid dlc is a ripoff just like some $60 games are a ripoff. theres good and bad like in anything else. you just have to filter out the bad. i dont see how paying for crappy dlc is any different from paying for a crappy game. you shouldn't do either

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="yellosnolvr"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] why do you care what other people spend their money on?

because its ruining the games industry i remember the days when buying a game actually meant you got the game, not 2/3 of it (with the other 1/3 up for paid download)

optional content for a $20 game that already provides dozens and dozens of hours of gameplay is ruining the game industry??? ok :|

minecraft was based off of free content to enhance and lengthen the experience. microsoft is forcing them to go against that. have you forgotten what gabe newell said about microsoft and the L4D content? he was insisting that the campaigns would be free on xbox 360, but microsoft did not allow this. this is also why TF2 on consoles is a complete joke after being left out of 119 FREE updates that total ~4GB. sure, valve sells hats for TF2. that is optional content. so is this minecraft DLC. whats the difference and why is it such a big deal? minecraft's model was always about free content; there is nothing for sale by the minecraft developers for the PC version. and, to close another point, you're given random hats/weapons you can sell by just playing tf2. here are a couple links you are welcome to visit: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/27/witcher-2-dlc-free-on-pc-not-on-xbox-for-obvious-reasons/ http://www.shacknews.com/article/60365/microsoft-forces-valve-to-price# furthermore, this is becoming an increasingly popular trend being practiced by all companies and it is cancerous to the industry. i can't earn anything neat anymore, i usually have to buy it. lets just not put this crap in the game for players to earn, find, or craft and instead make them buy it. you can even unlock everything on bf3 by just buying the 'shortcut'. game doesn't have enough maps? of course it doesnt! they purposely put 7 mediocre maps in the game so you can buy 4 more for $15 each pack. what about characters? items? sidequests? horse armor? you get the drift. this won't be the last DLC released for minecraft, there's going to be MANY more, some that won't be... "optional". i'll just watch from afar as you remain oblivious to the fact that the industry is crumbling because of DLC.

then why is mojang releasing the content? if its so against what they do they have the option to just not release it. im sure their perfectly fine getting paid for it. and the 360=/=pc. people are perfectly welcome to get minecraft for pc instead of the 360 if free skins are that important to them. and shortcut packs are optional as well. you might like unlocking everything for every single class in battlefield and thats fine. some people want to start off with everything from the start and thats fine too. i dont see a problem with it if its optional. now when you do something like capcom and sell the real ending for a game for like $7, thats when it becomes a problem.

Stomped.

I don't see how anyone can defend M$ and how they treat free content compared to other versions. The only people who defend it are die hard fanboys who have no shame.

That must explain why the Xbox 360 version is going to consistently receive free game content updates and bug fixes until it is on par with the PC version...

Maybe the "3kb" of space exceeded their update budget. LOL
