Hey man, I am all with him. I don't know how long you've been here but when Giant Bomb started Jeff said that he doesn't want this web site to report every piece of news because the major web sites already take care of that. Bran N. (with all due respect) doesn't write articles and doesn't add anything beyond his copy and paste news thingy. Personally I think he totally unnecessary here but it's the guys web site and they decide who is part of them.

wow... I thought they would have given them free for PC users. $5.50 is a lot. They just want PC players to be content with giving money for stupid things, like skins. Then will come the pay for brief "power-ups" ; ala P4F.

A few months ago I was playing on a 'hacked' server and was using the hidden kits.

Also they are charging for BC2:V; but what happens if someone doesn't want it? Why do they force BC2:V to take up space on your hdd? The content is said to be on your PC if you updated to the new patch. Why take up space if you're not going to use it? Either you give for free or you remove it. They are terrible.

It's £20 in the UK! That's $31. I really hope it's a pricing error because... that is almost twice the cost of the game.

Exactly.

It's these kinds of people EA is targeting with Battlefield Play 4 Free. First they start off with a skin pack. If you submit to the skin pack, then when BF:P4F comes out they'll say "mehhh, what's a buck for a power-up? nothin'... TEEEEHEEE, I'll bite!" <-- just like that.

It just seems to me people are more of a sucker these days and because everyone else is seemingly a sucker, it's okay if you are one too... it's not. Everyone should say it as it is and not kiss ass.

Are these the same skins that EA gave away on consoles with the Dr. Pepper code stuff that you could easily cheat?

@DG991: relax it was a pricing error... or you referred to the other things I said?

You do what you wanna do. On Steam it is $6.00 .

To me, I'm a PC player. EA/DICE didn't provide mod tools so that the community can make models or maps and then they go ahead and CHARGE for content. I can understand this for the consoles, because in general no body owning a console should expect to have the flexibility and power to create a mod and or content. However on a PC, it's standard; it's a known to have the ability to create.

Now they deviated and went ahead to charge for the skins that were already available in the single player game. That's low. You paid for the content to be in single player, riiiight? "Oh silly you... you didn't pay for the content to work in multiplayer." GTFO.

EA released an expansion for BF2, the special forces and it was its own thing. FINE no problem with that. And BC2:V, same shit; it's its own thing.

However now with BC2:Vietnam, have you noticed how Vietnam is integrated into the user interface of BC2? I mean what fuck is that? Unless EA/DICE plans to give it for free down the road, it is insulting. They are trying to psychologically fuck with your mind so that you buy it.

Are you, the gamer, that stupid? You know where BC2:V is located to buy online, if you want to buy the game you know where get it from. I don't intend to buy BC2:V, maybe if it's really cheap ~$5, but as of this moment I'm not going to buy it. So why are they putting it in my face and taking up space on my hdd with Vietnam when I haven't installed it and don't intend to? They are doing things in a weird manner.

"ooohhhh.... it's their game blady bla bla..." GTFO.... who has done this in the past? Nobody. "For Gamers, By Gamers." -Interplay's slogan back in the day

Today it's "For dumb gaming masses, by businessmen" - game companies today

@Evilmetal: Exactly. Sometimes I just have to suck it up and deal with it when businesses push me around, like Comcast for example...

But with this bullshit I don't.
I can't believe they didn't release that for free to PC gamers... I don't care if it's $6 that is utter bullshit.
Also, integrating BC2:Vietnam into BC2 is bullshit. I impulse bought BC2:V after seeing it for $15... wish I hadn't done that only because I do not support being nickeled and dimed for things like that... no matter the price... it could be $0.50... I don't buy shit like that on principal. I paid full price for the game and the point of DLC is to add content to a game that just couldn't be fit in before release.

12 awards, and 4 sets of class specific uniforms and weapons is NOT worth $6. That shit should be free. I'm no console gamer.

I do like the game though... That's why I purchased it for full price back then...but they better stop pushing me away with stuff like this or I won't come back.
I can live with only tf2. Hell if valve did stuff like this I could live with no games. I am a cheap ass PC gamer, but I will pay for quality content ONCE.

@Gap: Don't get me started on WoW... I have a problem with subscription fees to begin with so I'll never get to the point that I am paying money for in game items.

The SPECACT pack is necessary for staying alive in the thick of battle as a Russian Medic. How they shipped the game with him having a bright red "SHOOT HERE" beret and a shitload of snow levels is beyond me.

And of course they know the medic is the only one worth having, so they remove the individual purchase options and make you buy them all together for 6 bucks.

(in reference to PC)

My idea is why take up my hard drive space when I'm not going to buy it? But they put it there because they are hoping that via an 'impulse' one will buy it; since every time they will load up BC2, they will see "Vietnam" on the left side. "Oh gosh darn it!, just a key code will let me join in..... oooooOOo the temptation!" That's what they are aiming for. If they weren't then they should have a proper installer. So if someone buys it, they run the installer and they get the Vietnam content.

Why should I have the Vietnam burden on my system if they are not going to give it to me for free?

Those of you who have bought the Vietnam expansion, don't you think it's stupid that there are similar sound effects used for it that exist in BC2? The reload animations are the same. They put in as little effort as possible in making Vietnam and they want to get a lot of money for it. THIS is today's game developer. Charging for content already made and paid for via DLC... all these gimmicks. Taking advantage of the lack of mod-tools. They are treating the PC users as console users; just another bitch to steal from.

You hurt any legitimate arguments you have by calling console users just bitches to steal from.

... that's how THEY see the users. There is no more of this mentality of user and developer taking advice and suggestions. It's all a sham. The only place it exists is with small developers and mod makers. Once a developer goes corporate it's all about the $$$ and nothing more.

Also an easy way for you to not reply to the whole thing, you made that comment. It's okay.
