PC monster race? C'mon guys...

We need a watch dogs-style chart.

Definitely.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Evolve seems like a good object comparison if you're in the "Destiny has a ton of content" camp.

 

[Floody]

We now have exclusivity for pre-loading?

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

PC monster race indeed. All that port begging and shit lmao.

 

[ebullientprism]

Its kinda sad that people are missing the more important part of this. Maps not being held back is a step worth applauding. They can sell all the skins and characters they want for all I care.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i can imagine the 110% SMUGFACE factor on the dude that suggested the name "PC Monster Race Edition", smile as wide as Kim K's ass.

 

[Storm Raider]

This just really turns me off from the game..

 

[RS4-]

Even after buying it for a few bucks I feel ripped off. Season passes are shit anyway

 

[Phamit]

yeah expected that the day one of the Devs said proudly that they designed the game with dlc in mind more than any other game before

 

[LurkerPrime]

Just think of the gamer cred such a relevant reference will have!

Their smugness is well-earned - they know exactly what they're doing. Monsters, indeed.

 

[Alienous]

$7.49 for a single character? Really?

Got to pay for those free DLC maps somehow.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Excluding pre order and pre load has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of.

 

[ghibli99]

This just really turns me off from the game..

Same.

 

[enzo_gt]

Exclusive preloading? What?

Yeah I couldn't get past this bit. I mean, what?

 

[VanWinkle]

This game really just rubs me the wrong way. It certainly doesn't feel like a $60 game to me.

 

[MUnited83]

well, glad I picked this up for 6$

 

[Handy Fake]

I've got this mental image of the base game just being a single hunter alone in the wilderness with not a beast or bird in sight, wandering around in the rain for a bit.

 

[hawk2025]

Still trying to understand if "Exclusive preloading" means exactly what it seems to.




That can't be right.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Ya. Maps being free is a huge deal, but no one cares about that.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Wonder if the beta will be less boring than the alpha was.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I really hope this was worth $6.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

This makes me significantly less excited for Evolve.

Same.. I was excited for this game but now idk, might hold off honestly because this feels dirty.

 

[MaximusPayne]

Why can't they put all of this in a $60 game???

 

[Ferrio]

Why? You don't want them to support the game after launch?

I was on the fence before, this pushes me over in the "pass" crowd.

Know how I support developers after launch? Buying their next game.

 

[JaseC]

I can assume there'll be upgrade options on Steam for both DDEs as the base game has been pre-purchaseable for months now.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I didn't even bother to try to read over all this DLC, season pass, and exclusivity bullshit. I'm out.

Turtle Rock should know better.

 

[ChasingComets]

Lest I forget in the midst of bashing the anti-consumer DLC piecemealing, I just wanted to add that the Behemoth trailer was pretty clever with the Indy homage.

 

[dark_inferno]

As if they calculated how much worth the actual new monster is.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

$7.49 per character.

$14.99 for a monster.

Fuck. Off. 2K. Killed what remaining interest I had buying this game. Will wait until Black Friday.

sums up my thoughts.

 

[CuNi]

I basically just canceled my Pre-Order.
I do NOT support such behavior.
I mean this games LIVES of the fact that you have different Monsters and Hunters.. thats like the CORE of this game since it essentialy has nothing else to offer.
And yet they think its a good moneymaker to sell nearly 50% more as DLC or Special Editions... thats utterly unjustified IMHO.
So you can buy the full game for ~50$.. yeah.. cool but you only get half of the game for that.

 

[PooBone]

I think I'm gonna pass. All this DLC for an online-only game. Lots of other games to soak up my time and less of my money.

 

[ajb1888]

This just really turns me off from the game..

Almost turns me from gaming in general

Well, I mean... they're either selling new characters, new weapons, or new environments. There's no good way to do paid DLC in competitive multiplayer games.

 

[Begaria]

PC Monster Race, huh?

 

[funkystudent]

Pre loading is XB1 exclusive?


lol

 

[TheHall]

This game NEEDS that season pass, because i doubt people will come back for DLC

Definitely cancelled my pre-order. This is a shame...

 

[jelmerjt]

Looool. Horrible:

We can’t drive this part home enough: If you are planning to buy the game, but are skittish about pre-purchase, don’t be. As soon as the clock strikes midnight on 2/10/15, the FREE Monster Expansion Pack bonus goes away and it will run you over$14.99 to buy Behemoth, the fourth Monster, and the Savage Goliath skin after the fact. Think of it as us buying the first round for you. As a thank you.

[ashecitism]

Turtle Rock should know better.

Well, this is probably mostly 2K's doing and they bought the publishing rights to it/or the IP itself (dunno) during the THQ auction. Not sure TR had much choice.

 

[medenko]

i'm gonna pass this one. i hate expensive dlc's.

 

[TheSlySoul]

...PC Monster Race...

Yeah, that pun is so cringe-worthy

Edit: This type of DLC is why I wait until GOTY edition comes out.

 

[fantomena]

Pre-load exclusive to a plattform.

WTF?

 

[Orochinagis]

It lost me after the exclusive preloading stuff

 

[PhatSaqs]

Pre-ordered and pre-installing the beta .

 

[sensi97]

I hope they also include a history book with that PC Monster Race edition so people learn where that meme comes from.

 

[madjoki]

Well, I mean... they're either selling new characters, new weapons, or new environments. There's no good way to do paid DLC in competitive multiplayer games.

If there's no good way, why do at all? I mean it's full priced game. MP-only, which I assume is cheaper than campaign based single player games.

 

[Facism]

I'd like to thank 2k for saving me money. Always a silver lining.

 

[Collateral22]

Alpha completely turned me off this game. I'll stick with Dying Light until The Order:1886

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'll be buying this game used in the future, with none of the DLC. Take that, 2K!

 

[DVPredator85]

All I see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$

This game has completely fallen off my radar.
