In Response To: Re: I hate being lied to. (SonofMacPhisto) : I'm no expert, but after reading all that I can't help but think the gaming : business needs to simplify, and that it's reaching a point of diminishing : returns with all the crazy stuff that happens with pre-orders and what : not. Can't help but wonder too if they're training their customers in some : really unrealistic expectations and/or wants, so when shit hits the fan, : it's even worse than it might otherwise be. Think about those Turtle Beach : ads... 'Hear everything, defeat everyone?' Is that the attitude out there : right now - why gamers buy anything at all? Better make sure you appeal to : their egos in such a crass way? : It really just makes everything look so darn silly. I know I've drastically

I can empathize with that. I've been captured by some of the higher-quality F2P games out these days, like League of Legends, MechWarrior, and Planetside, and indie games like FTL. I don't have a problem with purchasing additional content for a full-priced game, but Call of Duty and Halo use it like a club when it should be a scalpel. Mass Effect 2 did DLC right, I think: some of it was superfluous, like the alternate appearances, but they were also cheap; the extra squadmates were cheap but a good amount of content, and also of high quality; and the three story expansions (Arrival, Shadow Broker, and Overlord) were solid. The big deal for me was that you didn't have to start a few game every time new content came out, because the story and gameplay allowed you to continue exploring after completing the main questline.
