In the battle for consumers, it appears that GameStop has an edge over the competition in the form of exclusive downloadable content. Previously, you walked into the store and slapped down some cash just to reserve the game. These days, you have the opportunity to score downloadable characters, missions and other good stuff that you won’t find anywhere else. Here’s a look at some of the company’s upcoming deals.

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
Before buying also check the exclusive DL content from Best Buy, and Amazon and even Walmart. Often times one store has better DLC than the other.
It's true....now they're all in on it. Before it was more of a gamestop thing, but competition heated up. Great point.
I hate this nonsense.
Mass Effect 2 was the worst for me because it had several pre-order bonuses and I wanted all of them. I ended up buying two copies of the Collector's Edition (one from Best Buy and one from GameStop.com). I was going to return one, but I just sold it to someone else who didn't manage to pre-order in time.
Looks like I'll be picking up two copies of Halo: Reach Limited Edition as well, and returning one to GameStop (because I hate shopping there).
i pre-order force unleashed from amazon,
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" Pre-sale Bonus
Pre-order "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" for Xbox 360 or PS3 and receive a code to access two exclusive challenge levels - "The Mystical Swamps of Dagobah" and "Defending the Core".
way better than that skin and the lightsaber.
Crapstop is the last place i go
