(ToVesperia) Micro$oft taking theyr DLC to new levels

It apears that microsoft has taken a liking to the business of traditional MMO farmers in that gamers are willing to pay for readily available game content in the form of experience and cash

Microsofts milking has risen to new levels, instead of charging money for content that "should" have been in the game at release they are now selling content that IS already in the game :D

Edit: It has been noted that scamco is responsible as the developer of the game however they require micro$ofts co-operation to host theyr product on the marketplace who on theyr terms has reviewed the content for it to meet mircro$oft standarts

most code masters games have cheat codes where you can purchase from their website. what's so different about this one?Mystery_Writer

Play a Tales game and you'd understand the reasons behind these. I mean, when the max level is 250 10 levels isn't going to make much of a difference. Vandalvideo

well if you are 240, 10 levels could save alot of time.

He meant the dev house, Codemasters.

Why not purchase a patch that finishes the game for you while you'r at it. It doesn't make much of a difference it's just a game that takes away valuable time.

Namco (scamco) is approaching DLC the wrong way. They have done it with their previous titles as well.

Meh. I hope no-one buys this, they shouldn't encourage MS.angelkimne

They shouldn't buy it for that reason alone. They shouldn't buy it because it takes fun away from the game.

Why are people blaming Microsoft for Namco's greedyness? If you are going to accuse someone of something at least blame the right people.heretrix

Exactly.

Meh. I hope no-one buys this, they shouldn't encourage MS.angelkimne

and who are you to tell them what they do or do not want?Shafftehr

As a fan of the Disgaea games your argument falls on deaf ears (hell leveling and customising is half the fun in a rpg)

[QUOTE="heretrix"]Why are people blaming Microsoft for Namco's greedyness? If you are going to accuse someone of something at least blame the right people.sammyjenkis898

Exactly.

Why blame Namco? Blame the people who purchase such ridiculous things for supporting products like this.

[QUOTE="Shafftehr"]and who are you to tell them what they do or do not want?Jandurin

No, you don't know what they want better than they do. And you know how I know that? Because I know your opinion better than you do. Don't argue - your points are idiotic. I simply know what you think better than you do, and you're not even clever enough to realize it.Shafftehr

So now you have to pay to be able to cheat in a video game?

Nice adds on that page by the way. Lady Lolicon teacher anyone?

What has Microsoft to do with it?

Do you know they are the devs who decide if and how much they charge for additional content?

And as you've pretty clearly demonstrated, the people who are buying these levels from Namco are people you don't understandShafftehr

otherwise, you'd get their reasoning and understand why they're perfectly willing to drop cash on something like this thread is talking about.Shafftehr

But don't worry, you're just as unique and special a person as you think you are.Shafftehr

You're also not at all arrogant.Shafftehr

First off: I think you're as stupid as you're actingShafftehr

:lol: Lemmings are the cows of this generation.kingfire11

Care to explain?

Scamco can not offer these products without mirco$ofts consent and partial guidance.

Will you people learn what the hell Milking means. Milking mean's they force you to buy something, this is obviously optional and is no where close to milking. Sure it's a horrible idea, but not milking.

[QUOTE="Shafftehr"]First off: I think you're as stupid as you're actingJandurin

What does it matter? Buying levels and buying gold doesn't win the game for you... it'll help you out if you need it. I'm sure a lot of people have fun grinding levels in fantasy games for hours on end, but that's not for me. I'm at a point right now in ToV where I could use a bunch of levels to help out, since I'm getting my ass kicked. I don't like DLC in general, so I'm gonna grind those levels away in the nearest dungeon, but I can see why someone would spend a few bucks to help them out :)

As someone else said, it's not like they're selling the last level of the game. It shouldn't matter to you if you don't use it.

Yep. And I figured that out before I wasted 40,000 posts of my life in this place. Of course, someone who has done something so monumentally idiotic is that is well within their rights to criticize someone spending a few bucks so they can max out a character without tons of meaningless grind. So they could, you know, go outside or something? I can see how that idea might be foreign to you.Shafftehr

It's not just you, it's just about everyone in the thread and in any other thread that is talking about milking.

There are a lot more fitting titles than milking.
