Here is the first "dlc" pack.

More like, In download DLC am I right?

I think the bigger issue is the price, damn that's a lot for 5 characters.

I'll say that it's not as huge of a deal as something like the Javik character in Mass Effect 3, because they are just multiplayer characters. It is a huge fucking bummer that this kind of stuff exists and they can't just be unlocked in some way just by playing the game.

They're just trying to replicate the fever of buying the toys! GOTTA BUY 'EM ALL!

While unfortunate, I'm kinda surprised people haven't just come to terms with this stuff yet.

In a couple months you'll get it for 49 cents during a sale anyway. Of course, by then, nobody will be playing the game online, so there's that... man, what a lose/lose situation.

My main issue is that 2 of the characters are already in Escalation and Blast Off is in SP. There is no legit reason for this other then tying to screw people out of their money, after the just paid 60 for a game.

Just don't buy it and hope no one else does. I've vowed to not buy Capcom games anymore... so far I've succeeded... probably cuz they haven't released anything good that I can think of since SF4. But I'll continue to not support their sh*tty DLC practices.

Instead award devs like, most recently, the Starhawk devs who released FREE DLC. Genuinely shocking... free DLC. That never happens on consoles anymore. Not that I expect that to be the norm but I also don't want the norm to be releasing a game and locking content that is finished on disc to be sold to you the second you put the disc in ur console.

And I was actually contemplating buying this game. I enjoyed the demo but I'm not a fan of Transformers really... just never watched it. This is a decent enough reason to pass on the game. I'm enjoying Darksiders 2 enough as it is.

This is now a thread dedicated to the debate of disk-vs-disc. Discuss.

I vote c. It's classy.

I won't buy, hell I don't even know if I'm going to buy the game now, but I've seen a lot of people on other websites have no problem with this bullshit.

Really Capcom? You actually think people are going to play this game's multiplayer?

You startled me for a second. Had to double check. Yes, it's not capcom. It's High Moon and Activision.

I think the last games multiplayer was actually pretty popular.

Anyway I wish instead of doing this they sold them like Skylanders but with Transformers figures and a code.

When did Transformers: Fall of Cybertron become a Capcom game? I was under the impression that it's a High Moon Studios/Activision game. Huh.

@Gantrathor: Woops! All the capcom talk in this thread inceptioned the idea that this was a capcom game, my mistake. My opinion on the quality of the multiplayer stands though.

The only way this bullshit stops if people stop buying it, but I doubt that will ever happen. I mean, we live in a world where people spend real world money for extra in-game currency.

@david3cm: Yeah. I, too, doubt that it will be any good. It would have to be a mind blowing, face melting multiplayer experience to get people away from CS:GO, which comes out tomorrow (Not endorsing that game. I don't even like Counter-Strike.)

Disk is a computer term, a round and flat data storage device that can be rotated to access the data. A disc is any other round and flat object, from a plate to a vinyl record. So vote 'c' all you want, you's wrong.

Anyone think that Jeff not even mentioning FoC for TNT is a bit tell of what he thinks of it?

It looks like the DLC is only aesthetics. I'm fine with that.

no i think its because mann vs machine is an easier choice to make since the TF2 TNT has been popular in the past

I dont care i want ALL DLC FOR this game And the first pack lets you have wheeljack so im not complaining I know some people hate this but u dont want it just dont buy it problem solved its all cosmetic ill only get annoyed if that G1 pack gun is over powered?

@CH3BURASHKA: Disk is magnetic storage, Disc is optical.

As long as you people continue to act like junkies and buy it anyway, it's aha you'll get.

Instead of going disc-this or whatever, why don't you look at what's actually included in the 60 dollar package and what's included in the X dollar DLC packs and figure out what good value is. 60 dollars buys you the retail package, not everything the studio has made in the last 2 years. If the retail package isn't enough by itself, then don't buy it. If the retail package IS enough, then why are you upset? If they couldn't sell this stuff, they wouldn't make it. Just like the main game itself, it they couldn't sell it, they wouldn't make it.

I hope the next gen consoles have something in place so that multiplayer games still work if the data is different on two different consoles. It might prevent on disc DLC, which is unfortunately still the best option to prevent another MK9 disaster.

By the way, I'm being generous. Multiplayer consistency is the only excuse for on disc DLC in my eyes, and it may not even be the case here.

Next up Metroplex dlc play as metroplex (That would be fair) 1600msp lol

It's like they're trying to dissuade me from downloading the game. Eleventh hour announcement that it's a day and date download? No option to preorder on the PSN, no benefit to downloading the game, full price and then to add insult to injury, $10 DLC for an as-yet-unproven multiplayer experience.

I really wanted to get this today, but I'm seriously thinking twice, with the MGS HD games both out, as well as R&C next week, and Leviathan for ME3 as well.

I lol'd. But you're half right. The multiplayer in this game isn't nearly as good as War for Cybetron's online multi, and even that had a boat load of problems that haven't been addressed. Expecting people to shell out for characters that they will use once or twice then shelve is rather silly.

Absolutely. Plus, the multiplayer isn't that good.
