Gaming these days is weird. Buy a game but still be locked out of content because of what, you are too poor to pay for the meaty bits.
Well, this is expansion, we had paid expansions in the early 2000s, probably earlier.
Knuckles was an expansion on the fucking Genesis.
Yeah gaming these days, paying for star craft brood wars just to get extra units.
To not even mention recent examples like Total Annihilation: The Core Contingency or Diablo: Hellfire, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal, the list of offenders goes on.
Blizzard was making expansions in the late 90s and they were amazing. Back when blizzard was the best of the best not the worst of the worst.
We had expansions in tabletop games.
We did and they were awesome. I guess I'm just saying there are two versions here and one of them is better than the other and I find it weird thats all. At least the expansion was all inclusive and not a form of baiting you into missing out on paid features. Things have changed obviously since 2000 but, take the level 60 upgrade. Paid and free are at an obvious disadvantage. The ranking system shouldn't be something you pay for to be uncapped.
This is not a competitive game it is a single-player game.
So your main complaint is when they decided to put out a massive expansion pack for this game.. they also decided to give away some free shit too.
I dont even own the game. Never played it.
That's nice dear but it doesn't answer my question. Right now your main complaint seems to be that while they are putting out a massive paid expansion pack they also decided to give things away for free?
Do you really want to know?
That would be why I asked the question.
I've been a console gamer for a while now, last pc games I played were the red alert/ Warcraft TFT (with a splash of wings of liberty) so I don't really get to mess around with mods
DLC that comes out years after original release is fine for me, if I'm getting hours of additional content. That stuff doesn't happen for free.
Obviously if they hide all the game-breaking fixes behind a DLC paywall it's ridiculous, but cyberpunk seems to have been pretty dedicated to fixing their game that was fairly broken at launch.
I've never played it yet, but it's been creeping up my list. Didn't really have much interest until watching edgerunners on Netflix (which I've become lowkey really into, how many times can you rewatch something before it's weird?). While I know they're not the same, the atmosphere and universe seem awesome, and the Devs seem committed to salvaging their reputation
I'm generally a patient gamer, but I caved for RE4make and am super hyped for Armored core 6. Don't have a PS5 yet so I'll have to wait for Deadspace, but once I beat RE4make at least a second time I'll probably try Cyberpunk
At this point I'm not sure if it's PS5 time, or worth waiting until Christmas 2024 for a ps5 pro for Deadspace and a smoother gaming experience on the dual system games I have
It's a really fin time imo, I don't think you'll regret it. There's a side quest about edgerunners in the game too, which basically advertises it, but it's kinda cool to habe it linked in.
Christ this is the dumbest shit I've heard today. It's early but you might win dumbest comment of the day.
Not any of this is weird or anything new whatsoever. It's a paid fucking expansion.
I'm more concerned how that steaming pile of a hot-take has 10 up votes when I read it. Can't believe so many agree with that shit too.
So glad to of made it so high on your list. May my comment live on on your might list. Please alert me to my position in the future so I can alure you with more dumb shit.
Oh absolutely, for sure. I have ya tagged so I can make sure to call out any other of your dumb bullshit I may happen to stumble across.
Enjoy being ratio'rd.
ratio'rd - what does that mean?
It's a real tough one to figure out.
Well?
So I looked up Ratioed since I can’t keep up with the GenZ slang. It means along the lines of a reply getting more likes/comments/responses than the original post which translate to “your post is bad and you should feel bad”.
So it seems like this person’s plan is to now have your username tagged so every time they see it they can call you stupid or some other shit and others will then flock to also call you stupid. Congrats, you were just ratioed. To me it just sounds like harassment in this case.
Seems like a bunch of petty bullshit for an online discussion board.
Oh, I get it now. Thanks for explaining. I appreciate your candour. These are the times we live in. This is gonna be great.
