Ace Combat 6 microtransactions take flight

Namco Bandai is no stranger to micotransactions. If gamers need any proof just look at the list of character outfits in Culdcept Saga and the lengthy amount of optional content for the Idolm@ster. So what extras can Namco Bandai sell for Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation? Planes and each one costs 200 Microsoft Points ($2.50).

GAMERS please do not support these kinds of practices

Bladestar6062d ago

wow... relax people you dont have to buy it... these are skins... as indicaded by ASSASSYN 36o... will not make you plane faster.. or help you cheat online...

people are under the assumtion that these content would be free... but in reality the content wouldnt exist...

These extra content may not be your cup of tea... and you have the right to ignore it... but to some people they like this stuff...

Now, when the PS3 games some content for free.. like this skins, extra level.. and I have to pay on the marketplace for it.. then I have a problem with it.

I rather have the content available and not purchase it than to not have it available and want it.

The way I see gamer pictures, skins, extra content that allows your to customize your car, plane, character, etc... is the same as those people that like buying shirts, and accessories when they go to a theme park... do they need to buy it? Nope...

Personally I'm not a supporter (with my wallet) to gamer picture, and most of the extra content... but I think there is a market and value if done right... companies need to make mistakes and understand what the consumer would pay for and what they would get burn for (Horse Armor anyone)... Soon PS3 gamers will get a taste of that.. when they will need to buy furniture for their @Home.

If you don't like it... don't buy it. Similar to when you got to a fair... lots of crap... but at the end it's up to you if you want to open your wallet and pay for it... no need to form a revolution to stop them from wanting to make some money.

if people like to pay for crap let them have it.

Interesting. The Unsung War is my personal favorite of the series.

DafunkyRebel2079d ago

NANI!!? Wait does this mean AC5 is getting remastered good laws my dreams came true

Abnor_Mal2079d ago

Damn, now that's what I call call a bonus. Loved Ace Combat5: the Unsung War.
Can't lie but would have loved to play Ace6, but since it's a Xbox exclusive, that's not going to happen.
Will definitely be pre ordering the game soon. Didn't read the article, so I'm hoping this is for the physical copy of Ace7 and a code for Ace5.

SamPao2079d ago

really looking forward to this game. Haven't played Ace Combat in quite some time
