its a rant on ranger mode (hard mode) on metro last light being a preorder bonus, or a $5 dlc
Can't say I disagree. He mad.
oh well. Want it bad enough, PO it. Its been on special with new NVIDIA cards and steam too
I sort of want to play metro 2033 on ranger mode now. But fricking amoebas and librarians

You're probably a sadist if you want Ranger mode - frick that.

they have been sticking it to consumers for years

He may overestimate how many metro fans want to play ranger mode
the all important question that i forgot to check..is there a guy with a gun on the cover?!

I'm a bit worried, without a shaved head space marine on the cover I fear sales will be low.

DLC is annoying but all you can do as a consumer is not buy it. I rarely buy DLC. I better love a game to buy it and most times I bought it was with a bundle special and I never used it. IT's funny how under the radar this game has been. Guy at gamestop yesterday was telling me how no one has been preordering or talking about it at all.

I don't know why anyone would preorder a game in general, but preordering this game would be especially stupid considering the THQ disaster and who is publishing it now.

At least he provides a viable solution for the customer. Wait until Steam puts it on a big sale, and then spend the $5 extra.
I agree with this man. I hate the very concept of DLC, and preorder incentives. frick retailers, and frick game producers if this is the way it is now.

There is nothing wrong with dlc in general. In fact, I usually really enjoy game extending dlc, such as is found borderlands 1 and 2.
The only dlcs that upsets me is on disc dlc that actually affects the story, ie the prothean character in ME3, and pay to win dlc.
ETA: I can only imagine how great dlc for FF6 would have been if dlc existed in the 90s.

That was awesome.
Unfortunately, it's the same issue as the one people have with EA. People will be mad about it, but they won't do anything about it and will most likely buy the game mode regardless. Voila, the company makes more money from ripping off consumers, and the trend continues into other games.

DLC is good
Taking things from the game, to sell as DLC later, is garbage. COD is the king at that.
If anyone bought the gun wraps for bo2, then you have zero voice to bitch, you just set the bar, on how stupid a consumer would be.
PS you look like a homo, with your gun blinged out in diamonds, or the fruity gun wraps, you bought. LOL @ you.

I think on-disc DLC is bad. How are the gun-camo things bad? They are the epitome of cosmetic DLC, there are plenty of standard options and these are just extra?
Posted on 5/11/13 at 12:36 pm to tehchampion140
nah, its nowhere near the same issue as people have with EA, at least for me. DLC is low on the list of reasons i dislike EA
And Metro is fricking awesome so it won't be a ripoff.
Just my opinion. I don't mind paying for awesome content. I dont even mind DLC.. its a great way to extend the life of a great game.

I don't mind this for metro because it isn't essential to have. Ranger mode is not for the average mainstream player.

DLC is horseshite.
Now I did buy the season pass or whatever for Borderlands, but I did it with 3 other people, and I think we paid like $50 apiece, for the game and any DLC that would come out for the game.

yeah, season pass is the new way to stick it up consumers arse.
you get all the DLC, blah blah.
More shite is taken from the games, and sold as DLC.
for christs sake, Activision sold old CoD4 maps, as part of a DLC. Maps you already paid for, with cod4. Then redesigned old WAW/BO maps and sold them as new maps.
Now that the new generation of consoles will be out, and no excuses to not have larger disks and better graphics, what will their excuses be for small map packs in games? no more claiming xbox cannot handle the disks, they are blu ray players, so no excuses not to load a game with 20ish maps, great, long campaigns, etc.
