Evolve’s Ridiculous DLC Pricing Should Annoy Gamers Everywhere

CraveOnline: "When it was first announced Evolve swiftly became one of my most anticipated releases of the near future. As a big fan of the Left 4 Dead series, Turtle Rock Studios’ tweaking of that formula and replacing zombies with otherworldly monsters seemed like a sure-fire hit."

[SpazldRust]

I really dislike this. But DLC pricing is not set by the Developer., it's the publisher so blame 2K Games.

[FullmetalRoyale]

I won't be buying this game new, or at all.

This is the position that they have put me in, where I cannot simply give a fair amount of money for a fair amount of game.

Preorder now! Or else!

[ABizzel1]

@Fullmetal

Completely agree.

I loved Left 4 Dead to death, so Evolve was heavily on my radar.

Played the beta, and was a bit disappointed, but hoped more content, maps, characters, and monsters would make it better. Now they're charging $25 for that extra content.

This game gets a complete pass for me.

At this point if you're interested Gamefly it, otherwise for the sake of gaming pass on it, until they're forced to drop price. There are too many other good games coming out anyway.

[KumquatGOATBEEF]

@ABizzel1

Preach. It's time we vote with our wallets. Unfortunately, gamers in this day and age are beginning to accept that DLC is inevitable and shell out their money anyway. But if we become more resolute in our stance against DLC, especially DLC that provides little content at absurd prices, we can hopefully alter the way these companies do business in the future.

Remember how X1 changed? The gamers spoke and X1 tabled a lot of their initial ideas. We have to do the same here. Like ABizzel1 said, there are way too many good games out now and coming out that are much more worthy of our attention and patronage that we can pass on this and let them know we will not appreciate being held hostage to their inflated DLC prices.

[JaredH]

The price is ridiculous but every map they create post launch is free. So not buying any of the DLC, which reminds me of fighting game DLC with skins and new characters, still allows you to play with everyone else and doesn't alienate people who don't buy DLC. That's the only positive for me since this DLC is actually mandatory and not required like maps packs in certain games.

[Forn]

Yep, it's officially a no buy for me as well, just as AC:U was/is.

[ifistbrowni]

I'm pretty sure paying $25 for the season pass doesn't even allow you the pre-order monster "Behemoth"

So, theoretically, if you bought the game without a pre-order at launch for full price, bought the season pass for $25 ($85), you would still have to spend an extra $15 to get all the content. $100 for this game?? I dont think so.

I loved L4D, I started following Evolve recently feeling destined to buy it at launch... This news killed it for me, though. They're asking way too much for way too little (content wise).

@JaredH, I dont think you know the definition of mandatory. "Since this DLC is actually mandatory and not required"

[Bobby Kotex]

Dying Light is doing a exclusive game mode as a preoder. This is starting to become a terrible trend.

[JaredH]

@ifistbrowni

Cool I made a spelling mistake but this is n4g where you're treated like an idiot in a passive aggressive way if you do. And you can't edit after 20 minutes. It's NOT mandatory to buy skin and character packs since you can still play with everyone else who has bought the game, even those who buy the packs when you yourself don't.

You can play against DLC monsters and with people who have DLC characters even if you don't own the DLC yourself. The matchmaking isn't segregated like Halo, Call of Duty, etc, based on who has the DLC and who doesn't because new maps will be FREE for everyone.

[Gwiz]

It's like irony is following me the whole day around,but i have been telling this people ALL DAY.
STOP PRE-ORDERING.A lot of things are getting out of hand and the gamer's/consumers should let them know enough is enough with this BS.Not just DLC being expensive but also functionality of games.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

@bobby Kotex

Starting to? This has been a horrible trend since last generation. Only now people are starting to catch on.

[xActionBasturdx]

I agree with you 100%...I will pass on this and just pray L4D3 comes out in this lifetime lol

[xActionBasturdx]

I agree with you 100%...I will pass on this and pray that L4D3 comes out sometime in the future

[user5575708]

they probably spent too much time and money creating the DLC and now have a real problem trying to market a DLC thats worth about $5 at $25

[TheSaint]

Agreed, this just went from a really interesting title to another cash cow, not buying as long as this BS is staying.

[ThanatosDMC]

I'll wait for the ultimate edition a year after release.

[BeefCurtains]

I'm sick and tired of this money grab BS!

Thanks for buying our game! Oh, did you want content too? That costs extra... By the way, your game will be operational in about 3 weeks after a series of patches. Enjoy!

[Spinal]

I love left 4 dead but I don't see anything worth my time in Evolve. The whole game seems like just one optionl game mode in games I've played in the past.

I can't believe they're basing the whole game on just the 4v1 aspect. That's gonna get boring Real fast.

Please let them just get to work on left 4 dead 3 once this game crashes and burns.

[3-4-5]

This game looked really boring and uninteresting to me, so I was never going to buy it.

But now I'm going to NEVER buy it just out of spite/principle.....not even for $4.00 used....

[ifistbrowni]

$4, really guy??

You really hold a grudge. $4 would be an awesome price for this game. It should launch at $30 new, though.. There is no way they should justify this as a "full" game.

[Shnooze]

So, wait. What's your point if you were never going to get it to begin with?

[Muzikguy]

This is the kind of stuff that I was always figuring DLC would lead to. Most DLC pricing "annoys" me already. That's why I don't buy any! As for this game though, I won't even look at it anymore. Why bother trying to do something like this? They should know gamers are being a lot more vocal this gen (and with they're wallets too)

[Cra2yey3]

I was never interested in this game to begin with and now won't even give it a second look on the shelves.

[Psytrix]

COD: AW DLC is priced at $64.95 here in Aus which is a couple dollars shy of a new release game - Hardly worth it for 4 new maps and some junk accessories.

I've noticed prices have been rising on DLC since 2008. Prices are becoming bloody ridiculous.

[Joey_Leone]

Are they insane? I guess they don't want my money, gonna buy it used now, i guess that's what they wanted right? Makes sense.

[CuddlyREDRUM]

The developer develops the content and how it is sold. This passing the buck to the publisher means even the most money-grubbing developer can't ever be blamed for anything.

[jrshankill]

They done the same with WWE 2K15. Their Season Pass does not give all DLC content. They never specifically said this until after the season pass was released. Absolutely atrocious way of doing business.

On top of this, WWE 2K15 was a massive step back for the franchise in terms of match modes and creation features. 2K are the new EA... or Capcom.

I won't buy another game by 2K.

[geddesmond]

The game was only slightly on my radar but after the Season pass price its now in stealth mode and my radar will never pick it up again.

In all honesty though the only DLC ever worth buying is expansions of the game world, like Skyrims or Fallouts. Character skins smh. I remember developers used to add character skins as unlockables for beating games on the hardest difficulties or other challenges in a game.

Now everything is for sale. Buy this, buy that, our game only ships with 8 weapons but don't worry for 3 euros you can buy this weapon. GTFO

[Abash]

I feel like it really is getting ridiculous. Well established, long-running series know that their most passionate fans will shell out more money for whatever DLC they offer, but it's even worse when a new IP believes it can get away with it too.

[FullmetalRoyale]

It truly is frustrating to have to go through this with something that I love. I remember just picking a game because the box looked cool, when I was just a child.

There is so much keeping me at arms length that prevents me from being in love with it. I still love it, but not IN love like I used to be.

http://media.tumblr.com/tum...

[NarooN]

That gif sums up my feelings on modern day gaming pretty well.

[dreamed]

Agreed,ubisoft did a similar thing with watchdogs.....calling aiden Pierce's baseball cap iconic when its a new IP that nobody had played at the time.

They also sold five different dlc pre order versions of it,which IMO is absolute contempt of the highest order towards paying customers.

"Publisher customer contempt" is probably the biggest change I've noticed that's come with this generation of consoles,not saying it wasn't happening last gen,but its defo had the biggest overhaul along with the hype train getting a new lick of paint.

IMO gaming is going in such a shite direction,and its getting worse every year,its already got to where we are all paying £60 per beta test ,that even with loads of patches never work as advertised.

What i find strange though is the guys n gals that make excuse's for these devs n publishers........you ppl know who you are,pls explain to me why you think broken games are so appealing?

Also I played enough evolve during the beta and was board after a couple of hours,it gets very repetitive very quick IMO.

[PoSTedUP]

dont buy. even when they drop the price down, dont buy. just do it, it'll be fun.

[ArchangelMike]

Yup. I'm not buying Evolve at all. I'll be knee deep in anythign else, that does'nt want to cheat me out of pocket.

[BattleTorn]

I'm with ya, no more to MP-modes wrapped in $60 packaging.

[UltraNova]

Count me in.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I'm not going to lie, I found it to be a slap in the face.

[Ashunderfire86]

Nothing wrong with just a rental anyway.

[Blackleg-sanji]

I just hope this doesn't sell well so they dont get away with this crap

[JohnathanACE]

Their greed will just screw them over and less people will buy the game. I for one am waiting for some sort of complete edition before I buy it.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

Game got delayed, then they say they still developing DLC the game seems real bare bones it should be free if anything

[JediHunter66]

This is a bummer, I'm pretty anti dlc and for the most part never purchase it. I've been really excited for this game too. :/

[SP4CE_C4PT4IN]

It really is offensive. I've been looking forward to this game and will still probably purchase it, but I will not be getting the DLC.

[dreamed]

Resist don't cave in,it will benefit us all in the long run.The publishers only speak one language MONEY!!!!!!!!.......if the profits take a hit then publisher sit up and listen to us.....look at AC unity for example,ubisoft would never have tried to fix it if it wasn't affecting there share prices.

[SP4CE_C4PT4IN]

So don't buy the game at all?

[Forn]

Don't even bother with buying the game. Show developers they need to stop with this kind of nonsense by speaking with your wallet.

[CorndogBurglar]

Destiny is about as far as I'm willing to go, but at least Destiny added missions, two strikes, and new raid, along with loads of new gear.

Dark below provided more for the $20 than most other games DLC offers for $10-$15.

My point? This is a gigantic insult. $25 for 4 characters and 3 SKINS? Are they kidding with this? thats just under half the price of the whole game. lol.

And I KNOW they are on crack when they try to say that one monster is worth $15.

2K Games have completely lost their minds.

I'll admit, Destiny is borderline insulting, but I love the gameplay so much that I'm willing to pay it to keep things fresh. But this DLC doesn't even offer anything other than some characters and skins. For even MORE than what Destiny charged?

Crazy. I was slowly coming around to the idea of this game, but after this, i'll NEVER touch it.

[Dudebro90]

Destiny added enough for its $20...

Are you drunk?

No seriously...are you drunk?

A game that shipped with as little content as destiny did, had no business charging $20 for anything.

At least in evolve all of the maps will be free dlc, and paid is all cosmetic.

[BattleTorn]

It all being cosmetic seems like a perfect reason not to call it, along with pricing, as a "Season Pass"

[CorndogBurglar]

Considering that reading comprehension seems to be a weak point with you, let me explain my comment.

First, I NEVER said that Destiny "added enough". I said that for the price, it added more than most other games do with their DLC. I also said that what they did release added to the game. As in, what was added, was not just cosmetic. It added missions, strikes, a raid and gear. So I can live with the $20.

Second, I also stated that even though the content adds those things, that it is STILL BORDERLINE INSULTING. Did you miss that part? Because its right there in my comment. I'm not sure how you could have missed it, unless you are the one that is actually drunk, Dudebro.

Third, having said all of that, no matter what your stance is on Destiny, this Evolve nonsense is WAY worse, as it doesn't even add anything of value to the game aside from cosmetics, and it costs almost half the price of the game! $25? That is way worse than anything we've ever seen before.

So now that I've basically regurgitated everything that you could have gotten from my original comment, only this time with the Director's Commentary, maybe you will have a better understanding of where I am coming from.

[DARK WITNESS]

you see that is the problem right there....

compared to the amount of content we use to get for say $10 or $15, Destiny's "EXPANSION" as they call it, is a slap in the face. Infact it should not even be called an expansion.

This is the thing though every time you justify something like that, publishers use that as a marker to see how much further they can push the goal post.

ultimately it is us (gamers) and our spending habits, that has lead to this situation.

We buy over priced crap and then justify it by saying shit like "oh it's the same price as a happy meal" "oh $$$$ is not a lot anyway".. and the publishers just smile and keep on pushing the price up $1 at a time so we don't notice or we notice but in our heads it's "oh it's only $1 more, I will get x hours of playtime out of it"..... Before you know it something would have been $10 is now $25.

When I saw the price of destiny's and what content it was offering, that is when I quite the game for good.

Gaming use to be an expensive hobby for me simply because of the number of awesome games I would buy, it's actually getting cheaper for me these days because when I see a dev/pub pull of something like this, I just cross the game off my list.

It's not so much that I can't afford the games or the dlc, it's just the principal behind it and when I look at buying into it I feel like I am supporting the drop in quality of the games I am playing.

they are getting shorter and shorter at the same time buggier and the pub barely seem to have any problem with it anymore because they know we will just throw our money at their rushed, broken, chopped up game and then throw more money at buying all the bits of the game that is required to actually enjoy it.

anyway...to each his own I guess. as long as you enjoy the game and all that it does not matter, and it really doesn't, but the thing to remember is when we do buy into this practice we are support the trend.

edit;

ok, I jumped the gun a little on your comment. I just read the last part about Destiny being boarder line insulting. That I would def agree with.

Anway, for once I really hope gamers will vote with their $$$ and not support this type of pricing for DLC.

[SliceOfTruth888]

Get over it people. The cost of making these games are going up and the price per game hasnt been touched in years...in fact it has went down from the SNES days. People like to complain but its because they do not look at the big picture. Destiny for example is nailed to the cross for being "stripped down", but in reality i paid 89.99 for a game that i have sunk almost 200 hours into now. I dont see it as i paid 59.99 + 29.99....i bought the game Destiny. If you like the game the price is worth it, if you dont its not. Stop trying to act like the end of all consumerism is near

[CocoWolfie]

WHAT! thats just no XD yeah games cost more, but they have an inital price tag to make up for that. didnt destiny recover theyre costs on theyre second day? and if a game gives you 200 hours or 8, it doesnt justify 89.99 or 20 because theyre built to focus on that $60 or £40 price tag, and thats a lot! and even then dev's release dlc for free to bring people back, to give a thank you to fans, and even then! even if it costs money its not this much, which isnt worth it.

[FullmetalRoyale]

The cost of making games has increased, yes.

But so has a tank of gas, and a bag of Oreos. My money doesn't go as far as it used to.

This is about gross business practices.

[toddybad]

You are a prize idiot.

[Blank]

Play the game DLC quest for a preview of the future with that kind of thinking. If it was 20 bucks and all that dlc was priced the same I wouldve helped your argument but these clown released a full $60 game with expensive dlc that is valued over half what the game is worth and close to day one. This is just disgusting Turtle Rock, Im just going to shake my head and ignore this game.

[dreamed]

Apologists everywhere......why do you guys except mediocrity so willingly?...... You know opinions like yours are part of the reason why games come out broken/glitchy......

why would devs/pubs care about making a working product when the ppl buying the game don't care if its working or not?......

let's vote with our wallets and maybe the future will hold fully alpha/beta tested games.....& not just tested by us consumers after we paid £60.00 plus £29.00 for a season pass that might get cancelled because them (devs/pubs) decided to spend more time marketing a game than making the damn game which is supposed to be the whole point in the first place.

I see a future where all we'll get for £60.00 is a massive marketing campaign for a game that can't afford to be made....geez this industry needs a real kick in the ass,something that squeezes the innovation into theses devs/pubs,because they have absolutely no natural capacity for innovation at all.

It wasn't always like this,bk in ps2/original Xbox days innovation was the order of the day,nowadays if it isnt a call of duty or a clash of clans clone,then its not worth doing.......anyway I,m really starting to hate gaming....I hope mgs5 brings me back round!!!!!!.

[Muzikguy]

Cost of making games may have indeed gone up. If I'm not mistaken, the entire industry has more than doubled since the SNES days. Games tend to sell more copies than they used to. Not to mention, some of these games have some seriously inflated budgets. It shouldn't take hundreds of people YEARS to make one single game! Personally I think companies want to talk about higher costs just fool us. Production should've gotten a lot easier by now

As for getting all those hours out of your Destiny game, great! I like when I can do that for more hours and with more than just one game, at $60 or less. Then I feel like I got my money's worth. Not saying it will or should happen all the time. COD4 I had more hours and almost double the time. Dark Souls I paid less and got more time in too. It's hard to justify hours for the price IMO. I paid $90 or so for Diablo3 and threw that game away I hated it so much. I guess what I'm getting at is I'm not buying anything ever again that's over $60 unless the proces go up across the board. There's no guarantee I'm getting my worth out of it

@dreamed
I completely agree and share your vision of the future of gaming if things don't turn around

[DARK WITNESS]

I have paid £39 for a game I sunk 400 hrs into, what's your point?

[tlougotg]

Mediocre game, filled with greed from publisher. I will not be touching this game at all and definitely wouldnt be buying the dlc the way i dont support it on COD games, BF season passes and dlc like found on Destiny. Funny thing is the biggest offenders are the publishers making the most money like Activision, EA, etc...

What i hate the most are the consumers that are so gullible and defend this practice. there have been games with content cut out to be sold as dlc ahead of release and ppl still defended it.

We need to say %uck this practice and not support it!!! Souls series dlc is the only dlc ive ever bought and that was due to the fact that i got hundreds of hours out of the sp alone so i thought itd be worth it and dlc came out a gd time after.

These %ucking publishers sell the game for 60, season passes for 50 and seperate dlc prices and still cry. %uck you man!!!!!

[CocoWolfie]

dont judge a game so quickly man :/...EA and Activision, and goddamn Ubisoft are known for this, but cant you blame costumers for wanting more of a game they like. you blame the people behind it, who shove the season pass at the end of each trailer, who have dlc coming out a week after launch.. not the people who want to break out of a prison in far cry 4 for example, because that sounds fun.

[Sir_Simba]

After I played the Beta or alpha whatever it was, I'm not feeling the gmae anymore and the preoder crap now season pass bull$hit. I dont even care anymore. the game was like £20 on G2A still not gonna buy

[iNFAMOUZ1]

they should have just done left 4 dead 3 with these graphics...

[Viryu]

I didn't have any interest in this game before, and after seeing this... well, I want to burn it with fire now.

[Dudebro90]

All of the maps will be free dlc, this stuff is all cosmetic. What's the issue? Dota charges stupid prices for cosmetic stuff, and nobody says a thing.

[Str8Chaos74]

Probably because the core game is free and not $60.

[e-p-ayeaH]

This doesnt afect the full game its mostly skins it doesnt change gameplay from the looks of it.

[macker2298]

i am so relieved i have no interest in this game. However, this looks like it can become a trend among publishers/developers. I don't want the game to bomb mostly because i don't like to wish a negative on anyone but i do hope that due to smart consumer behavior they realize that it is not the right way to treat potential customers

[LightDiego]

Let's wait for the "Goty edition" with full content at an affordable price. Too many games this year to spend on DLCs anyway...

[Der_Kommandant]

Thanks but no thanks, I'll be passing on this one.

[soul-assassin-]

Totally agree with this article... I had this pre-ordered from the moment this game was announced .(huge L4D fan) . I recently cancelled it. Getting tired of all this "exclusive & overpriced dlc"

[InTheZoneAC]

so ubisoft wants to charge $25 for weak DLC for The Crew and it's ok?

but now that someone else is doing the same bs it's a big deal all of a sudden?

I enjoy most racing games and most shooters, but when a company, whether a publisher or devloper wants to charge $15+ for weak dlc it just makes me wait for the game itself to come down at least 50% before I even consider purchasing just the base game.

I support DLC, but not when they assume people will just willingly fork over money for anything...

[DARK WITNESS]

i think the difference is that The Crew looked like crap and most gamers just didn't care for it by the time they got round to talking about the dlc so there was not a lot of talk about it because nobody was really talking about the game anyway.

In this case a lot of gamers were actually quite excited for this game and looking forward to it, hence it has generated the interest/hate regarding the dlc and pricing of it.

I don't think it's ok for any game to be charging $25 for dlc.

[fanboysmackdown]

Who does this Phil Robb guy think he is anyway, Randy Pitchfork?

[XanderZane]

Game was getting mixed reviews. Many were saying it would get boring after a week or two of playing. With no kind of single playing mode to keep you entertained after playing the repetitive multiplayer game, this doesn't look like it will hold interest for long. I may take a peak at the strategy guide just to see what else is really offered in this game. The pricing for the DLC is a bit much as well. They want you to pay $14.99 for one boss or preorder the game and get it free? Huh??

[Duke19]

Perfect reason for me to NOT by this game and now actually hope it does poorly. They really want to turn videogames into a $100 package per game type of thing...

[jegheist2014]

calling it now this game iwll be next brink an huge mofrucking flop
my review score 1 out 10 game is not even out yet ill pass

[Avernus]

The DLC prices for this game is ludicrous. I was on the fence about buying this, but after I saw the prices I'm not going to bother.

[xtheblackparade]

"When it was first announced Evolve swiftly became one of my most anticipated releases of the near future"
Hah!

But yeah, I agree for the most part. I heard someone say there are €15 skins for Heroes of the Storm as well..crazy and it doesn't even add gameplay. But well, that's a f2p game so it's kind of fair.

[Dario_DC]

I get that most people want the games day 1, I really do, but this industry has changed... With all DLC, pre-orders and the a ton of broken games on release I just can't risk to buy these games when they come out.
I rather wait for the complete edition or buy them on sale or even used...

[kevinsheeks]

I played the alpha and wasn't impressed but still decided to give it a try and buy it but after this news it's a no buy.

[quenomamen]

Hate to break it to you but gamers are not known for turning down DLC, no matter how expensive or crappy it is.

[kenwonobi]

I never buy games that rely heavily on DLC. If the game cant stand on its own without it or its not complete I do not buy it. I buy finished games which can add to the experience by buying DLC. Only if its reasonably priced and I can live without the DLC one way or the other.

[kenwonobi]

Dont buy broken games. Wait until its fixed. They listen to the dollar. Make them give you complete games finished.

[assdan]

Wow. Just wow.

[Tankbusta40]

They could give all the dlc for free... After the alpha... I have no desire to play

[Iamnemesis4880]

well my money will be tied up in destiny and Hardline.

[Loadedklip]

If you are OK with it ... buy it.

If you are not OK with it ... don't buy.

Voting with your wallets will send the message to publishers either way.

[Sensiblesteve]

This game will flop now - a no buy for me and I suggest everyone stands up to this season pass rubbish

[theFAYEsorceress]

this is exactly the reason why indie games and games from small developers are so popular now. they put in more effort and don't blatantly rip you off. not only that, but you can bet your ass all that dlc for this game is already completed and is just being timed for release.

[Fationably Late]

As a software developer myself (not games though), I'm of two sides with this.

On one hand, the average gamer (PC or console) is not going to empty their wallets just because a publisher says we should, or tempts us with 'freebies'. We expect to pay a certain dollar amount for a complete, bug-free, content-filled product that should keep us engaged for, at least, 8 hours. How long did Super Mario take us to finish as kids?

On the other hand, the development process is pretty expensive and both the developer and publisher want to try and recoup their costs and make a profit, even if that means taking a risk and raising the price a bit.

In my experience, custom application development (non-game app) can run anywhere between $5k and $150K, if not more depending on what it does (and therefore defining how long it takes to build) and who the audience is. The cost of developing a AAA game far exceeds that. I'm sure many of the same fiscal problems come about in game development as well, like the cost of closed-source software and hardware for every member of the development team, time spent in meetings, fixing bugs, more meetings, build errors, testing, more developing.

I read somewhere that the average AAA game developer makes around $85K/year. Multiply that times a few dozen, then add the salaries of people that don't code (PM's, QA testers, marketing agents, etc). Inflation, at least in the U.S., has effected the cost of making games (and software in general), but not necessarily the price of games for consumers. Yes, games do sell more copies nowadays (no thanks to the Atari fiasco around E.T.), but I believe that's the only reason the average cost of a game hasn't gone up. It balances out. It's entirely possible that Turtle Rock and 2K think this is a niche game and won't sell as many copies as more single player focused games and there for have to charge more per copy (and hedge their bets on DLC purchases).

I'm not trying to justify their practice by any means, but you have to look at the whole picture before you make assumptions and say something that simply isn't true. Sometimes the publisher thinks they can milk gamers for all they're worth, while other times development ended up costing more that expected. No one likes going over budget, but if it happens, you have to do something about it and that means cutting devs (because the big wigs aren't going to leave) or charging more for the product in the end.

Believe what you want, but speculation isn't fact and until they tell you exactly why they are doing what they're doing, you'll never know.

[ThePain1]

I was thinking of picking this up but the pricey DLC has put me off, there really milking us at 10 euro a monster and a hand full of skins !! like really !! who charges that for skins !!

[xxchicago33xx]

New IP trying to f*&k my wallet on the first date...that's bold.

[Tankbusta40]

Lol

[bigodon]

since i'm not getting this game
i will be fine

[jznrpg]

I wasnt really interested in this game to begin with , there are other games i can support!

[Edi007]

The only games that a can preoder are kojima and naughty dogs games so
Uncharted 4
Mgs v

[DarthSocio]

I wasn't even going to buy this game in the first place tbh. It should F2P like team fortress.

[Ps4andxb1]

Played for 30 seconds, got eaten by a flower, turned the game off and never went back.

This game is one of those things in life that sounds great in theory, but in practice just doesn't work whatsoever.

[sardines]

I won't encourage that behaviour with my precious money.

[masterfox]

such a game fail.

[N4GJD]

I could see this game was not going to live up to any sort of expectations the moment it was shown. Same as Titanfall, Destiny, Etc. This industry is going down the toilet because people keep buying into this garbage. Just look at skylanders!

This is the result of all the sh*tty releases of 2014. Consumer faith is at an all time low, so now they have to danglle otherwise expensive carrots in front of our face or else feel left behind. Dying light is doing this as well with their highly advertised be a zombie mode. Kinda glad my daughter is now born cuz I will be occupied enough with her and the games I already own. Please don't buy into this and let it become a trend gamers. Be strong.

This game is a bigger turd than Destiny.

Ill preorder it, i get this monster free anyway and when the new monster and hunters are released i can decide whether the new content is worth my money or not. This way of doing business isn't new, i remember when Naughty Dog came up with a season pass for Uncharted 3 that included content we already pay for (at least in my case) in Uncharted 2.

Thanks for making my decision easier, 2K. It really sucks that this sort of thing is becoming commonplace. At least I'll be saving money next month unless The Order:1886 turns out to be more than just a bunch of quick time events spread over a few sporadic shootouts.
