No one is making you buy these things, Making a thread complaining about it is worthless. Ranting topics should be left in blogs not thread. So just relax. Dont get this worked up about video games..geez.

If the weapons are cool and makes the game better why not. Sure they are just making more money. Whateve, who said being a gamer was a cheap hobbie? Your right those halo vs cod threads should be blog post. I made a statment no need to get mad or call me a sheep. Just relax

If you really believed that you should have put this exact post in your blog and not in this thread. Seriously, what you did today is a blog post. Giving information with an opinion asking for others, like done in this thread, is a perfectly possible thread.

lol...yea, I'm not sure why a call to boycott a product is better suited for a blog than a forum post.

[QUOTE="WMDfreeman99"]Whatever if the weapons are cool i will buy them. Just to let you know this should be a blog post.DonMega187

Stop trying to be a mod. BTW TC I think its another plot to gain money look at who we're looking at EA!!!

People keep saying that it's only happening because EA is making the game. I don't think that's the case.

EA may start this trend (I know DLC has been around for quite some time, but I don't know of any other console games that sink to this new low) but all the other game makers are going to follow suit if EA makes a ton of ca$h off of this.

Not trying to fight with you. You do have a point. Its EA's IP and can charge if they want, which they will. Yeah it sucks but if i want it i will pay for it. Some companies are money hungry and others not as much. If you dont like their tactics then dont buy their products. WMDfreeman99

You're right, they are definitely allowed to charge for it. But, the consumers will decide whether this is a successful business venture or not.

I think that if this is a successful tactic, it will really hurt all gamers. One of the most important aspects of online gaming is creating a level playing field. If you, as a gamer, feel that the guy who keeps killing you has an unfair advantage (as opposed to just being better than you) it really ruins the experience.

Again, this isn't the same as charging for extra maps or some cosmetic feature. The company can charge for those things to expand the universe in which you can play their game. But, it doesn't give you a leg up on the competition.

This is exactly the same type of response people made when all the Xbox 360 owners were complaining about their RROD. The fact is, all the complaining CAN make a difference.

That is fine, I understand what you are saying. I just see this as a good blog post. Also complaining on forums does not get much done. Only when the developer is requesting feed back. This also goes for people saying that xbl should be free. People will complain about it but still pay for the service. Samething here..

I'm not complaining because I want to vent. I'm stating that I'm refusing to pay for the extra weapons, that it's a sleazy tactic, and I'm encouraging other people to refuse to buy the extra content as well.

Obviously, if people pay for the content than this won't make any difference. But, if enough people complain and refuse to buy it, it can have a tremendous impact on EA (and other companies thinking about trying the same thing.)

arent they on the disc?raylewisnfl52

Only if you pay extra for the "gold" edition. In other words, you can pay to download them or you can pay extra for the disc. But, either way, you have to pay for extra weapons.

If they dont offer an advantage as they say they the stats of the new wepaons must not be any better than existing ones so therefore the difference is just cosmeticvitriolboy

A sniper rifle doesn't necessarily give you an advantage over someone with an assault rifle. But, they allow you to use different tactics. Presumably, these new weapons will offer "equal" weapons that still give the player a tremendous advantage by allowing them to use different tactics.

oh is it against the rules to write stuff like that? well if i could edit my post, i'd just say write to Bethesda then?  i dont know... i didnt realize there was some rule, so sorry if i broke it.  .i'm not saying people should buy one or the other, but just if you ARE unhappy and returning your XBOX, and want Oblivion, then.... etc...etc......

never used these board before!!!!!!!
