God damnit, now i want to start playing the game.

Eh, why you no buy?

I am playing Grid Autosport a lot now. Divinity is on the backlog for "now".

Cant do review for Grid yet, apparently some Elite tag forumer said one cannot do a review unless you had finished the game.

It is a lengthy one, as I set the race duration to be double of what it is designed that resulted longer but much more exciting race battles. It drives decently, albeit a bit tail happy for a lot of cars but each car feels very different. There are a lot of race tracks to drive around which is great, and I love how they had done Sepang in the game. It look beautiful in the game.



It is probably my favourite racing game in the last few years.

I guess your one is the middle one right?

ah crap, Love Trousers is on sale now on Humble.

Why are you doing this to me?

If the DLC has meaty content with reasonable pricing, I don't see why not. Just look at the Skyrim DLC or Borderlands 2 season pass, they do offer a decent value of content for the price to pay.

If its like CoH2's DLC where you pay $5 for a commander with 5 abilities, then hell no.

In short if it feels like an expansion, then it is ok.

I think we will get cheaper pricing soon, via local currency on Steam.

The region lock is also in place to prevent cross region trading.

If I am paying $60 for your game, there should not be microtrasactions in them. I dont care you have 50 Ronaldos in PES by playing for free but the issue is when you have microtransaction, leveling process will be extended into a grind to inflict pain on the gamers to encourage them to pay up. Game experience will be altered to push microtransaction sales.

Microtransactions is a quick way to make money, in exchange of consumer's trust.

There is nothing wrong with more money for the game creators but the problem, most of the time, the money doesnt not go back to the creators themselves but taken up by the few executives of the company.

At the same time, paying a $60 game then asking you pay for microtransaction continuously is a hell no. Games cost upwards of RM100 to RM200 these days, and why the heck I should pay more for so little content when these things are literally free back then. If its so expensive to make these games now, then dont make such expensive games where the fact is, there are games like Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland or Project CARS managed to develop games with small budget. That seemed more like mismanagement on Konami's part and pass all the wastage of funds into consumers hands.

Hardcore players or not, contents should not be put behind a paywall or force "free" players to grind for it. I am playing a game, not a second job to work for my progress in games. And there is no saying that MLO features will not spread to offline mode in the next few iteration of the game.

If a game developer wants to force microtrasactions on its consumer, I wont buy the game as I do not wish to be part of their scheme to manipulate their customer to pay up for microtransactions by psychology. If not, I'll use region lock trading to get the game with lesser revenue for the company.

Right, your comment on the graphics are based on some off camera footage which is even blurry than the screenshot.

When racing games could make smooth shadows on their games, I really dont see what is it so hard to make smooth shadows on a stadium with 22 players, ignoring the spectators. Looks like it is just Konami refuse to polish up the graphics while decide to force microtrasactions on its users.

Most Japanese publishers these days are god damn awful.

Once you have microtrasactions, it is a problem that is more severe than any other problem PES has. Microtrasactions are rarely designed in a way to be beneficial to gamers but it is used as an alternative revenue stream by forcing the gullible ones or the "time limited" ones to pay up for barely any content while making the game unnecessarily grindy for everyone. The "time limited" players did not have any issues playing older PES so why there is an option to charge players to skip?

Microtrasactions should not even be in the game of any genre to begin with regardless it is online only or for all.

From what I read on Polygon a few days ago, it looked like it affects everyone, not just online.

Stop putting microtrasactions into my games. Thanks.

The Humble Bundle kinda sucked.

Whats with the constantly increasing BTA? It was $6.50 an hour ago and now its $7.

Feel like its humble artificially inflating the price.

Even though Borderlands has tonnes of DLC, most of the DLCs actually adds new content and gameplay, whats wrong with that?

At least they did not shove in microtransactions in their games.

It will deduct from your credit card.

As if we need more survival and voxel games.

The kid's work is amazing but I am getting sick of all these survival and zombie games.

The kid has talent but the genre is getting incredibly tiring to me.

You know that a lot of content become DLC because they cant finish it on time? Or it is actually made after the game has gone certification which 2 months for consoles because it is stupid to pay your developers when they sit around and do nothing. Not every developer took out finished content and sell it as DLC. BL2 evidently isnt one of those developers because even the core game has tonnes of content.

DLC can be a bad policy but Borderlands 2 isnt a bad example of awful DLC representation. And BL2's DLC is not even a small chunk of content. They are fairly meaty, especially the Tiny Tina DLC while class DLCs offers brand new ways to play which adds dozens of hours if you want to replay the game.

If you bought the game early on and played quite a bit, what is there to butthurt over a GOTY version when you had enjoyed it first? I bought BL2 and the Season Pass on a sale, the total price was much cheaper than GOTY in the previous sale.

These days, paying high price for a game means that you get to enjoy the game first, not 6 months to years down the line when everyone is finished and dumped the game. If you are so cheapsake, then, do not ever preorder a game.
