It’s about 5 years too late to complain about DLC.
Steam says hi…
…i would just like put any snk boss out there. makai…koryu… oh noes!
but to paying for cheating. that is stupid. they did it right in ratchect & clank though.
i can understand unlocking them, but buying? that is some cruel shig. what if you had to buy all
4 disc of ff7 seperatly? what if you had to buy the car, then the enigne, then the keys… but the installation
cost extra? if you give it to us, guve it all man.
I suppose no one paid for game genies. Or action replays. Or game sharks. This is an Atrocity!!!
I ask you, other than GTA and such, When have cheats EVER been free. Enlighten me.
Turok, GTA, Golden Eye, Sonic 2, Super Mario Bros, Gauntlet, Guitar Hero, Metroid.
you are joking right??
This generation may not know it but almost any gamer magazine in the 90’s and early 00’s had a section in the back of every issue dedicated to cheat codes. Theres even entire websites that contain thousands upon thousands of cheat codes for older and newer consoles.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/systems.html
to charge for such features are ridiculous because this WILL lead the way for developers to charge for things we are accustom to having now. If you think developers wont charge you to have a training mode, in game move lists, and mission modes you are mistaken. They are already charging for characters and costumes…give it a couple years.
Enlightened?
I use to collect Tips N’ Tricks each month due to all the cheat codes and valuable information in them. The back of the magazine always had the best cheats.
Before all the internet craze.
THis would be a good argument if anyone was actually going to buy SFxT.
A lot of games I click on don’t even HAVE cheats in game. New console games i have clicked on literally have 0 cheats and before the generation before barely have any. And even if i magically got lucky and clicked 100% on games without cheats, why is cheating so important to you guys, as little games carry them now? They are so insignificant now that this shit shouldn’t have even been noticed. So you have to pay for game modifiers, is that an excuse for going into the most retarded worst case scenario that i have ever seen?
This logic is fucking hilairous. Adding characters and costumes actually ADD something to the game. Paying for training mode? lmao. You are a textbook example of going into worst case scenario. When the worst scenario actually are things completely out of reach.
But hey, if someone actually does make us pay for anything that you listed there (the bold) after you buy the game, then i will chug a full bottle of windex. Until then, keep bitching about 5 dollars worth of nothing.
Its a great argument becuase it’s a Capcom game, so people will buy it whether they bitch about it or not.
I’d ask how old you are, but not only is it pretty obvious that you are merely a child, but there actually are some children who bother to educate themselves about things like this.
Someday you could be one, too.
Though in all probability you’ll continue to spout off ignorance well into adulthood and unto the grave.

You know what the scary thing is? Being charged for the above things doesn’t seem so far-fetched, given how prevalent DLC is these days. Ten years ago, the idea of paying for features that one would normally expect to be included as part of the package was insane. Now, I don’t think we would ever be charged for the stuff that Kwheelie’s talking about (except maybe the mission mode), but it seems to me anything’s possible if we’re paying for cheats now. They have to draw the line somewhere. As I said earlier, it shouldn’t always be about the bottom line with video games.
Know what’s the funniest part is?
I don’t think gaming companies really care. I’m pretty sure people complained about DLCs before only for the companies to justify by saying they need the profit for future games. We don’t make the games, we buy them. So… If there’s a way to change their whole DLC thing is simply don’t buy their game, and try your best to force them down the shitter. What are the chances of that happening? Depends on the DLC.
At this rate, I think it’s only a matter of time before you have to pay for literally every aspect of a game as DLC unless consumers somehow convince companies to knock this shit off.
Let’s imagine a new age FPS game on the PC maybe… three to five years from now. You initially pay $5 for the right to play/download the game. But that’s not just it. You have to pay $5 to be able to move in the game. $5 to be able to look with the mouse. $5 to shoot weapons. $5 to be able to kill enemies. $5 to be able to pick up items. $5 to see your HUD. $5 for each weapon. $5 for every single player map. $5 for every multiplayer map. Etc., etc., etc.
You could call me crazy, but do you really think the industry isn’t that far off from doing shit like this? Maybe not to that extreme, but c’mon… that’s just fucking ridiculous. Some would say it would NEVER happen, but Capcom doing something like this is just the start. Hell, things are already getting extremely out of hand with the “exclusive pre-order bonuses”.
Guys, just try to remember the age of video games in which game companies made games and you bought them **because they were good, **not because of DLC or pre-order bonuses. What’s sad is that age wasn’t very long ago; only about five or six years ago.
I talked to someone somewhere else about the online pass stuff and he told me that he agreed that it’s some bull, but he said that he would rather play the game than take a stand. He even bought an extra code for his girlfriend. I just don’t understand; how could someone sell out their integrity for $10 or $60?
“But you had to pay $5 for the magazine, so you’re still paying for them!”
“From GameFAQs? Lol! Your mom and dad still had to pay for your internet connection to get those cheats!”
“What? You don’t live with moms and pops, anymore?”
“You got the codes from a friend? Lol!”
“…what’s it like, having friends?”

Just like others have already posted, cheating devices were so damn good.
I remember way back in the day, I’d put in game genie with double dragon 2 nes and put in 3 fucking long lines of codes just so that a friend and I would be invulnerable to death by low health, pitfalls, and water. We’d set that shit to 2 Player B mode and just had a blast kicking each others asses off cliffs and all kinds of other shit, racing towards the exits, using other enemies as tools to keep each other locked down, etc. It added so much more fun and play time into a game that was already good. Wake up Knee special never felt more satisfying.

I think I’m ok with capcom doing this, especially in this kind of game.
However I also am partially against it you know, accepting the fact of paying for stuff that should just have them include it in there in the first place. People that let this slide too much without showing any kind of friction or dislike and we might be having to pay just to see any kind of closure/endings to games at some point in the future (I know, I’m exaggerating).
I hope gaming goes more toward the approach of you just paying for the parts you want from the video game…I think EA is doing something like that with Fight Night Champion in some country or somethin like that.
10 bucks off the next SF for not downloading the story mode? Yes please.
