Is there a bigger slap in the face than a season pass being announced before launch?

It is basically saying, we are selling you half a game, pay again for the other stuff we already were going to do anyway.

I want to fuck Ai

Kickstarter games that make a ton of money through backers and get cancelled

The bigger slap in the face is realizing that people will actually buy these season passes without even so much as batting an eyelid.

yeah its that ugly chink in that pic

It's the future we cannot change or did not choose.

Blame the new generation. No amount of boycotting by us will change it. We can't change the mindsets of dumb fucks who'll continue to obliviously support it.

Yeah, it's that abomination you posted.

>MMO charges $60 for latest expansion
>$40 for previous expansion
>$20 for base game
>still have to pay monthly fee

I can't think of a current game that does this, but starting World of Warcraft right during Wrath of the Lich King was fucking stupid expensive.

Is that /ourgirl/, Uehara Ai?

Now's your chance since she stopped doing av for some while now.

yes, releasing dlc in a early access game.

Announcing a season pass isn't so bad as announcing day one DLC when the game is revealed.
Like what marvel vs Capcom infinite did.

What? She's the only cute jav idol who does anal.
Now how do I fill this JAV anal craving of mine?

I'm tired of you Jav fuckers pretending your horse faced clones are attractive enough to be posted here.

Games these days are planned with dlc and season passes in mind. Announcing it after release doesn't change anything.

Stay mad
Gotta look for new one

>Is there a bigger slap in the face than being able to make an informed decision as a consumer?
>Why can't companies lie to me and pretend they never planned to do DLC?

At least things have improved. Not sure how WOoW does it nowadays, but the other subscription MMO I can think of, FFXIV, does it like this
>$60 For the base game + the two expansions
>$40 for the latest expansion (includes the previous expansion, in case you didn't already own it)
>$20 for just the base game, no expansions
>Subscription fees don't start until after the first 30 days

who are some attractive non-chinks?

That's why i never buy games with Season Passes and wait for the inevitable "Gold/GOTY/'noun'/Expanded" edition and grab it on a sale then.

Japanese women are top 5 ugliest in the planet. Thats why they censor their own porn because nobody wants to see their trashy cunny.

That's the tip of the iceberg. If you're on a dead server, which is most of them nowadays, it's £43 or $60 to both faction and realm transfer. There were assets taken out of WoD and put in the cash shop and then you have the token where Blizzard makes $5 per transaction. I don't play anymore but my guild boosted buyers who dropped three figures weekly on tokens for raid clears.

Urgay

Maybe you should just stop being a sodomite.

this is the smart move

She had a normie chad last time, so unless youre loaded(and she has a lot of money) forget about, she´s a slut anywayhold me bro, no more tears.

That's why I don't buy Ubisoft games anymore.
That and their DLC is always mediocre as fuck anyway.

eh no. the battlechest is always all previous expansions for like 20 or 30 and then the new expansion is 4.
they wanted to keep the whole upfront cost at around a retail games cost to not scare away people.

new expansions absolutely should come with at least one month of gametime though.

season pass is good because i don't want to deal with buying 10 dollar dlc's every other month

Who are the other 4?

I am a patient man. I can play video games while waiting for video games.

China
Korea
Ireland
India

i have to think some uncontacted tribals out in africa etc. would count as the worst

Enjoy playing the game when everyone else have moved on and nobody is interested in discussing it anymore.

>discussing games
What are you, 12?

Ai is my wife

>Enjoy playing the game

Thanks I will. I am not a geriatric old man, time is on my side and I have many years left to play vidya.

I guess thats true.. they can be on the list too.

But there is also uncensored porn. What about that?

a lot of money means a couple thousand more or less, depending how ugly or how small your dick is. no slut will turn down a couple grand for the whole enchilada, and most lads have that much squirreled away in the bank unless youre a completely worthless cunt. Just depends on hiw hot the girl is, how popular she is, how hit you are, and how popular/how much money you have.

EHEHE

I'll give you China and India, but Ireland, Korea, and Japan? Nigga you crazy. Throw Africa as a whole in there because individual African countries would dominate the list. Then throw in Mexican and Finnish.

I dunno user, I would say Americans and probably French are pretty bad. They age like rancid shit. Looking like 30s when they're 20 already

Imagine the smell.

Seriously your comeback to them is that if you don't play the game sooner you can't discuss it while they actually don't pay towards bad business practices?

Too bad that she's with me at this very moment.

>buy game
>buy interim expansions
>buy current expansion
>monthly subscription
>no free sub time with expansions
>charge for basic account features like server change and name change
>"micro" payments of up to $20 for pets and mounts
>impossible to access this content in game without paying

Bruh, chinese, japan and korea all look the same, lmfaoo imagine trying to pretend their ugly horse faced clones look any different from each other. Irish women are notoriously ugly.

America is too broad to simply generalise in a category.

>people from the same region look the same lmao

What's it like being retarded user?

Seek sunlight faggot.

Explain why french, italian and germans look different then?

>mfw I made Ai so much better in game in Yakuza 0 than she is IRL that she should hire me as her make up artist for her AVs.

So you like to pay in advance for something that might or might not be released without even the knowledge on its contents or the value/quality?

*rolls eyes*

Don't like it? Don't buy it, vote with your wallet :^)

I want to pee in her mouth

...

Pretty sure thats the name of one of her movies

How do Season Passes work? I thought of buying one for Dark Souls III but the description made it sound like I get to buy the DLCs at a discounted price instead of getting them for free. But then the one for Nioh gives you all DLC for getting the pass.

I don't get it.

Who's she anyway?

Read the thread

Generally it gives you all/most of the DLC for a game at a discounted price, and it usually comes out before any/most DLC is released- the idea is you buy it before any DLC drops and as they're released you automatically receive the new stuff since you already bought the pass

fuck you

invasions

OH I think I actually misunderstood the description for Dark Souls III's pass, I thought the pass would give me a discounted price for each individual DLCs as they come out instead of being a '3-in-1 at a lower price' deal. Basically I'm retarded, thanks.

Question i have is, was there any season pass that advertised a handfull of dlc, but the company, game wasnt a seller and they stopped publishing after 2dlcs?
I mean season pass is always a big risk for the company. You get big money, but if the game sold poorly you cant just stop making dlc, because you advertised dlc.
Or are this just big companies that make that with enough cash or workforce to make some alibi dlc?

I'm pretty sure Evolve came under fire for something like that, but it may not have been exactly what you described.

Season Passes and DLC getting announced before release is a good thing, because then the publishers are actually honest. Every game has a fucking DLC plan now.

Them holding off on announcing shit you know damn well was in development before release is way more sinister, but naturally people get less pissed at this because ignorance=bliss.

Who started the DLC practice?

Ok, but i appreciate your point.

There is also the opposite, I can't exactly remember the game, it might have been Fallout 4 or one of the Borderlands, but in those the season pass didn't even get you all the DLC that was released.

Bethesda.
Fucking horse armor.

Not telling you that they plan to release DLC later on.
It's like tricking you into thinking you're buying a full game and then fucking your ass with add ons that significantly improve the game.
Season passes are better because they at least tell you that their plan on continuing development once the game has been completed and it generally saves money.

>pioneers of DLC
>now paid mods

Microsoft with the Xbox mainly. I think Halo 2 was one of the earliest games with paid DLC, then they expanded on it with the 360 and Bethesda's Horse Armor DLC kinda opened the floodgates.

Though obviously expansions and map/content packs and stuff like that have been around on PC since like the late 70s early 80s, and there have been free DLC since the internet took off, but I think Xbox was the first big push to make DLC be paid.

Ai Uehara

>Realize that Horse Armor was a huge mistake and apologized for it
>Went on to create some of the most high-quality, substantial DLCs of the entire generation, some of which, like Broken Steel, even fixed some of the most massive problems with the games
>Currently have backslided into the absolute worst business practices in the industry
>Charge you for more Horse Armor with a smile on their face

The fuck is the deal with Bethesda?

>Went on to create some of the most high-quality, substantial DLCs of the entire generation,
It's funny that you think this.

Is there an industry where fans are more eager to be scammed than the videogame one?

>Charge you for more Horse Armor with a smile on their face
The whole paid mods and Creation Club jewery aside haven't they still kept up their decent DLC practices?

That's not a given. It might also be a promise for future content that hasn't been created yet

I'm genuinely trying to come up with examples of games at the time that had better DLC than Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas, but I can't.

Hobbyist audio industry, and the tech industry in general. Oh and probably the food industry.

it's called games as a service fag

and it means you don't have to rebuy the game every year. You get additional content over time if you choose to buy it

>Hobbyist audio industry,
Oh shit I forgot about those guys.

>Smart businessmen taking advantage of dumb cucks throwing their money away
Basically the same as streamers who get donations

New Vegas DLC were pretty crap to be fair. And Oblivion's only real stand out piece was an expansion rather than DLC. Though Knights of the Nine were decent, it wasn't exactly amazing content either.

New Vegas was made by obsidian, for one.

name pls

No, even the "main" DLCs for Fallout 4 are lackluster at best. Far Harbor is just a carbon copy of Point Lookout with worse writing, and Nuka World is a glorified series of radiant quests designed to shoehorn in a gameplay element that should have existed in the base game (conquering existing settlements as a raider), but doesn't match up well now. The pricing is the worst part, though. Far Harbor and Nuka World are more expensive than any of Fallout 3's DLC, and they also charge five to ten dollars for a bunch of packs that just add more shit to the settlement building.

The absolute worst example is the devs of Evolve announcing a DLC for it A YEAR BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED.

Fucking unbelievable.

For this reason I'll pass on Shadow of War...waiting until the eventual GOTY version drops and I'll get the whole package for cheap

At least it's not DLC and cash shop shit to early access titles. Now that is prime time jew shit right there.

FFXIV is worth every penny of $60+ a few months sub fees for its single-player story alone. Its story and world blow the ever-loving fuck out of the past 5 or so Final Fantasy releases.

Better hope the servers are still up by then goy.

>even fixed some of the most massive problems with the games
this is such a shit practice everyone does it now

see pic related

That game is only worth pirating user, there are lootboxes ingame that you can pay for with real cash

ON DISC DLC

Don't forget the education industry.

A year and a half later..of course they'll still be up. They gotta milk it long like GTAO.
