What are the evidence that Gearbox cut the content for DLC when its finished and fully polished?

Mechromancer's early previews are quite rough on the edges with missing animations and bugs. Psycho literally was rebuild from sctratch after release.

You have no evidence that they actually cut finished content and turn them to DLC while keep harping on that they are doing do.

They did not force you to buy those cosmetic stuff while Headhunter packs are useless unless you want to do a lot of raid content.

No one forcing you to buy them. And also useless unless you are the hardcore players who could play UVHM.

That is true, Gearbox isnt Capcom.

Then, I hope you wont preorder Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.

Dont try new games if you butthurt over GOTY versions. Wait for complete edition only buy.

There are but you just denying it. Go find a Mechromancer preview compare to the released version. The art and animations are unfinished in the early preview even though the skills are mostly done. Psycho is finished months after release. If they finished him before release, whats the point of holding it for more than half a year when people tend to buy DLCs more in the first 3 months after the game's release? That is reducing their potential revenue which is a dumb move and Psycho isnt even on disc content.

Not every developers are scum bags like EA. Gearbox is pretty shit, but their DLC policy isnt that bad.

Both classes were pitched along with the 4 original classes was pitched to be in the final game but they did not get picked due to various issues. You think everything is in production will be in the final game? No, that doesnt happen at all as there will be plenty of content cut from the game as the development gets closer to release with various reasons from insufficient time to finish it, like Mechromancer to not enough money to push the content out. Most cut content will become DLCs post release since they are started so why throw them away.

DLC that actually expand the content, like Tiny Tina DLC is completely different from microtrasactions that force you to pay $10 to skip the waiting timer.

BL2 GOTY version has all the essential content which is Mechromancer, Psycho and the 4 DLCs from Season Pass. The other content are either useless, like those hats and skins if not just tiny content that isnt worth bundling with. Gearbox made those tiny content packs because the hardcore players wants more raid like content so they made those content for them. If you dont do raids all the time to get those legendary drops that appear once a blue moon, those content are literally rubbish to you because they take less than an hour to beat each with barely anything new.

Since you hate this business model so much, then, dont buy their games. Vote with your wallets rather than whine here are Gearbox is robbing you. I dislike their UVHM nonsense and all the post Season Pass raid content, they did not get a cent from making those content. BL2 GOTY is more than enough for majority of the players.

DLC at least offer something in return in terms of new playable content. Also, even expansions like Skyrim's Dragonborn and XCOM's Enemies Within expansion are considered as DLC where not every DLC is a money grab.

Microtrasaction does not. It is designed to let you skip some grind that they designed to force you to go through or buy power with real money. At its worst, it is an initiative to milk more money from the "time limited" ones or the dumb ones, does DLC even do that in general? At best, it just give you small amount of cosmetic content like a hat for much higher price you pay for most DLC.

Am I "time limited" or stupid to buy Enemies Within for XCOM or a car pack for Grid 2? Does those 2 DLC removed any unpleasant grind from Grid 2 and XCOM?

Do you even know the difference? Or you are expecting games to be finished on release with no DLCs.

And you dont even seemed to understand why Gearbox made more DLCs after the Season Pass. It is simple, because the hardcore players asked for it.

Please dont sperm spam the thread with those stuff.

Thats a mobile game, not a PC game.

Any more posts about mobile game in a PC subforum will be reported.

If you like strategy games, you'll probably like XCOM. Just dont expect the reboot to be the same as the original but the reboot is still a pretty good game as a whole.

Do remember to get the complete edition. It is pretty good IMO as even the small DLC does add a bit of stuff. The cosmetic DLC is great if you like to customise your soldiers.

And the iPad version of XCOM is pretty good too, except a bit harder than the PC version.

No, gameplay and mechanically similar to PC version, except the iOS version has half of the maps of the original game and no cosmetic option.

If you remembered, XCOM always have those highway or road maps with little covers and lots of explosive cars which are much harder than the other maps with buildings, the iOS version is literally filled with these maps with a lot of building maps removed from the game. Almost every 2 mission, you'll get an open map which is a pain in the butt to play that results higher death toll and also less veteran soldiers in your army.

I kinda call it XCOM: Die More Edition on iOS.

No no, I was talking about this version. It is the Complete version of XCOM, not X-COM. XCOM's marketing has a lot of those close camera shots which made it feel like a shooter. Misleading marketing lol.

X-COM is kinda obsolete these days as there are Open X-COM to play which is leagues better than the original.

Open X-COM is standalone.

I think it is the same as Open RA and TA Spring which is fan made version of Red Alert 1 and Total Annihilation.

Well, XCOM has some sort of cinematic camera for some of the moves you make. It still plays like a turn based strategy if thats what you are looking for. The cinematic camera can be turned off. It is a bit simpler than X-COM but still pretty damn good.

There is also Xenonaunts and Space Hulk. Xenonaunt is the remake of the original X-COM by fans with some quality of life improvements while Space Hulk is the digital adaptation of the board game that is still very punishing like the original board game.

Oh, another XCOM-like game with a bit of survival elements.

You are right.

My mistake.

My gawd, 2K really port Bioshock 1 to iOS.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Touch screen is the worse control scheme for FPS. Why not port original XCOM, Enemies Within, Civ 3, Civ 4, Railroads or dumbed down Civ 5 to iOS?

Try Lenovo Y50.

RM4k with i7, 860M (should be around the same level as 840), 8GB RAM. RM3.5k if you dont want Win 8 preinstalled.

No.

Removable GPUs arent worth it anyway.

870M is about 30% more powerful than 860M. 880M is about 50% performance of 860M. It isnt a huge leap from different graphics generation. A new MXM GPU will cost you 1-2k. Might as well save up and buy a new laptop.

And you wont be able to find a MXM chip laptop with 4k budget. They are generally 5k and above.

If you gonna start another shit storm, I am reporting you straight to the mods.

We dont need arrogant people like you. It is just a game, not World Cup.

If he comes back and starts threatening people, anyone is free to report him. We dont need trouble makers. There are enough trouble makers in this world, I dont want to see one here.
