An online retailer may have revealed the release date for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 version of the action role-playing game, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition.

So doesnt this sort of screw over the people who bought the original one?

[MattyG]

If that's what you think then I'm guessing you think every GOTY edition screws people over?

[sdtarm]

as long as i know the extra content is not being offered as DLC so we or I at least think I got screwed

In what possible way does it screw over the people who originally bought it?

[rataranian]

Well you bought the game at $60 when it came out. Then they re release the game with added content. So either you re buy the game or dl the content at an extra price. meaning youre paying more money when you could have just waited and your $60 would have gotten you a lot more. I'm just wondering how people feel about that. Maybe they dont give a shit who knows?

[MattyG]

@rataranian But nobody is holding a gun to your head demanding that you buy the game on release day. And DLC is EXTRA content. So you either pay more and have the game to play for about a year (and spend whatever the DLC costs) OR you can wait a year, year and half, and get it cheaper. It's more of a battle of patience than anything else when it comes to DLC and GOTY editions.

@rata

I bought the ps3 version day 1.

Just got the pc version.

So far ive spent over $110 on dark souls and don't feel ripped off at all.

I got well over 100 hours into the original content. I only paid 60 for the collectors edition, so it was well worth it. I'll just buy the dlc on psn for the 10-15 dollars.

The original already so much content in it and i spent well over 150+ hours playing it, and i still do to this day, spending 10-15 bucks on it for extra 10 hours is well worth it (for me at least)

[belac09]

there will be dlc.

[MattyG]

Didn't FROM say last year around this time that there wouldn't be DLC? Looks like nobody is immune to... *shudders* the DLC virus.

Yes they said they would not release any DLC but we begged and begged so they released some.

This is the only DLC I'm buying this year lol

[madjedi]

@Qrphe Actually i remember people begging for demons souls 6th world stone(land of the giants?) to be released as dlc/patch. Not sure about dark souls's dlc.

This is why I rarely buy new games. Game studios have trained me to expect a better, more complete version of the game a few months later at half to a quarter of the original price.

I bought the complete edition of Red Dead Redemption for $19 eight months after the game was launched. Yes, I had to wait eight months, but I saved over $60. And I have a backlog of games to play so I am never without anything to play.

Of course, some games never release "complete" or DLC included editions, but I still don't buy them on the release date.

Dark Souls is such a great great game and was large and rich with content , and now its even bigger . Man this is going to be a good winter break.
