DLC

Onyx Guards:

I've read that we're meant to be getting Onyx Guards in November. Why aren't they playable charcters in multiplayer already? I've seen them in Beast Mode, plus they held the game back so they could do all the spit and polish. What's going on? I'm guessing... money?

Weapon skins:

There are some good ones to unlock, but for people who want the wild ones they have to pay for them. Why not unlock them instead? Oh wait, I know, money.

The game was originally meant to be released 4th April, but we were patient and waited again until 20th September for it... and they still want to charge for stuff we know and they know that should of been included?

Yea its obvious that they are being greedy little basterds. But people are going to still buy them regardless, and all we can do is botch about it. It really blows, but as long as they get more money they dont care.

DLC is the way of the future. I understand with the rising cost of game development that these companies need as much money as they can get. Lets face it, these things aren't cheap to make, the used game market rapes developers profits and a lot of studios have had to close down this gen because of the rising costs. That said, make the prices for DLC reasonable. I think so far the only company that's really got this right is Rockstar with its pass for L.A. Noire, $10 for I believe it was 4 or 5 substantial pieces of DLC. I'm fine with that, what I'm not fine with is charging for stupid *beep* like weapon skins or $15 for maps, that's a bit absurd.

I read that apparently Cliff/Epic Games said they wanted have all the weapon skins included free, but Microsoft said no. I don't know how that works.

Yeah, Microsoft are greedy bastards. Though they did something with user accounts recently and they were in the wrong, haha. I prefer the weapon skins you unlock too, the ones you have to pay for are fun if you're into that. I've got chrone Gnasher, gold Lancer, red Omen Retro Lancer, a green looking Retro Lancer with a brighter coloured Omen, a couple for Hammerburst and I'm working with a friend to unlock gold Sawed-Off. Saying that, I prefer the gold skins in GoW 3 to GoW 2. In GoW 2 they made the guns look too bling for me. They said there's going to be 3-4 maps out in November. There's a good handful of maps out at the moment, but yeah, others are more likely to pop up for multiplayer.

Your trolling is probably some of the worst i have even seen. You seriously need to take some lessons on how to be clever and when to try and troll somebody. If you cant even troll properly, you should probably give up on this whole trying to be funny and anonymous thing. Reading your comments didnt even make me laugh, it just made me think how could anybody could be so sad and such a jacka$$ while trying to troll on imdb of all places.

what all game developers/company's need to do is just man up and drop game prices down to $49.99 instead of $59.99. they whine and bitch about used game sales when they themselves are to blame. the extra $10 makes a huge difference and would make a bigger impact on the sales. its sad that they will never see this.

If you do good, you'll see me one more time. If you do bad, you'll see me.. two more times.
