furthermore why can’t these resource packs carry over into multiple games, why punish the people that choose to keep playing your game instead of trading it in.S.C.A.F.

Is it optional to buy? Yes, but why should a persons experience be dictated by how much they’re willing to spend? If thats the case why not just charge more for easy or veteran difficulty mode. Maybe the developers wanted slow resource bots, but now everyone will assume the bots are too slow, regardless of what speed they were originally intended to operate at.

But the way EA did this we’ll never know if these resource bots have been tampered with. At least that way everybody would have been able to judge the game on their own accord.

They could have very easily waited a few weeks and then offered the added resources via DLC, or just sold improved whole weapons and armor. and heres why I think that.ĮA knew this would cause some uproar or controversy. I think its entirely EAs fault, and I don’t say that because of my opinion of EA. The complete list of Dead Space 3 day one DLC is as follows, note that EA have yet to confirm the pricing for Europe: I’m not even going to think what they would do Mirror’s Edge 2, pay-per-step perhaps? Almost certainly an entire shoe shop of DLC trainers for Faith. It is rather ironic that one of the games that made us gamers view EA in a different light has been butchered by the higher management and turned in to a cash machine. The question is, if they are not required by the game why do they exist? My personal view is that EA may make some extra cash from monetisation of Dead Space 3 but the damage to their reputation will far outweigh it.Īfter years of being the ‘bad guys’ of gaming and churning out sequels and poorly made titles EA turned a corner and gave us some fresh, exciting new games in the shape of Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge. The Dead Space team have been strenuously denying that the microtransactions had made the game ‘pay to win’ and Steve does say on his blog that “DS3 isn’t designed to require Resource Packs, but they’re an option that’s available should you decide to use it – the choice is yours.” Of course all the DLC is optional and you may prefer to play the game without all the extra upgrades, it would certainly give you a more of a ‘survival horror’ feel if your weapons and ammo are limited.
