I hate PS3 for the install reason. Testing them at work before trading in and pick the wrong game? You've just made that customer, and every one behind them, wait an extra pointless 15 minutes before they can get served. Xbox at least is a choice of install... but then again every time Xbox updates its dashboard you also have to update EVERY game you put in after that. But those are small, usually 30s updates. Still irritating though!
I also get pissed off about "online pass" codes. Ok, fine, I'm used to codes being a pc gamer, but that's a piracy thing at least. That I can deal with and understand. Code already used? Usually simply showing proof of purchase/ownership will get you a new code. The greedy bastards now moaning that "oh but stores make so much profit on preowned and we see none of it so we'll charge you £10 for online play..." sorry but you don't get book publishers, or car manufacturers or ANY OTHER INDUSTRY bitching about second hand sales.
I also hate day one dlc. If it exists on day one it should be in the game. Yes, I'm aware that the discs are printed from a master copy at least a month before release date. All I'm asking is you delay your dlc by another month to at least give me the illusion you didn't cut things out of it. I like the fact Bioware made Shale free for all who bought DA:O on day one because it was pushed back to coincide with consoles, and therefore the originally planned release of Shale. I dislike the fact they made The Exiled Prince for DA2 day one DLC that had to be paid for. Of course, as I love the game, I bought it, but there are very few I'd do that for. Or crappy DLC like Street Fighter which is just costumes.
I'm gonna stop my ranting now coz it's late but you get the picture Statistics: Posted by pevil — Tue Apr 12, 2011 6:32 pm
