Hypocrite, much?
Seeing as how I have bought every DLC that has come out the minute it came out, I feel I am well within my right to complain about a part of it I may not like, and the ONLY thing I have personally not cared for is being charged for the standard to premium. I see you all over these forums talking about we should appreciate all the hard work they put into finishing this car. Well I install HVAC systems, and I could see myself telling a customer "I only hooked up the heat today, but I'll come back at a later date and install the AC. By the way I'm going to charge you again when I come back." That customer would be irate.
So if they want to convert standards to premiums, that's fine, but don't charge me twice because you half-assed the job the first time.
And the fact that you're defending something you haven't even bought and telling those of us that have bought it how we should feel....well, that's just laughable.
Considering I already own the first bundle that came, I had no need of the extra cars. I haven't used a single one of the cars in the first DLC pack, so why the hell am I going to buy more? There you go, I will probably get the course only as I only want more courses to drive on, I find the giant oval thing kind of lame and with no way to have an official drag mode what is the point of having two straights that long? If there is something that allows use of the course as a drag strip then that would make it feasible but after watching one lap of an X2010 I was like seriously no drag strip or drag mode option? I would have been happier if they included a mode that used the TGTT runway as a drag strip, that would have been better than this giant course. I thought the course would have had one big straight and the other side would have been more akin to complex string for actual testing purposes. No such luck.
Some one half assed the job? Wait a minute, it's ok for Turn10 to release day one DLC and you pay for it, but a whole damn year later GT5 releases cars and things that they couldn't have done by release date and there's a problem. Anyone else see the issue there, anyone? That's nice that you install HVAC systems, but understand this this is a game which at sale is a complete product, notice that it also says there will be add-on content. Where in the hell does it say that you are entitled to free updates of cars already present in the game?
Im not defending anything but the fact that people earned the right to be paid for their work and services. Go do work and then have the customer want it for free after you already did your hard work. Now if the it wasn't the Jaguar XJ-R9LM and some new car would it make it any more deserving of your money? That is the question of the day.
Lol PD are rich beyond belief aren't they? What you think advertising is free? Mass producing these discs is some gracious act by the presses free of charge? No one charges PD for localization or anything do they? I bet they fly those disc in on magical clouds too.
Toronado you can pretty much take your brand of ignorance somewhere else, since when the money that is spent on bringing this game to fruition has no bearing on DLC, are you partially mad? You are going to tell me that it's all done pro bono right? That they get these things for free and they have no bills or anything like that? That was one idiotic post if I ever saw one. The thread is about DLC pricing and everything that goes into the content has variance on the the charge for the DLC, which is why DLC is always going to be more than the complete product that went on sale. I give up, this place has devolved into some sort of charity haven, where it's cool to ask for things and then complain about their being a charge. Giving out free stuff also causes a mindset in humans and well it's in full effect as we can see by all the people crying over having to pay for DLC. Really?!? Do you ride in taxi's for free? How about take airline flights? Man you can't live on this earth without paying your due, taxes anyone? Why do you think anything should be afforded to you free? I want to see a valid reason, I so far can't think of a one yet. Because PD has updated the game FREE OF CHARGE, whether or not it should have been the case at launch doesn't change the FACT that it was DONE FREE of CHARGE! So please enlighten me on why you shouldn't have to pay for the DLC, you champion of the downtrodden!
