I AM BUYING ALL OF THIS SHIT.

Because I am a fucking moron.

EDIT: Have just watched the video and seen how much this shit costs.Fuck that noise.

Yup, I'm watching it now and this shit is really ridiculous. There will never be enough Gears fanboyism, and I already have a lot of it, in me to justify paying for that stuff. At least this stuff isn't detracting much from the actual game. I'm going to wait a bit for more info on the season pass stuff.

Even though I know better I hope nobody buys this stuff.

Thanks for doing this. We all now know just how dumb and worthless these skins are.

You know what's really sad? The horse armor was actually cooler than this stuff.

Horse armor was actual DOWNLOADABLE content.

To me this looks like someone at Microsoft played lil ol' Team Fortress 2 and had the amazing idea to make Gears 3 the testing ground for the in-game item store. (Except in TF2 you can get the item you want without spending a penny)

Morons will probably buy these, other publishers see this, now every game with MP has a totally innocent in-game real money item store.

This.. just hurts... Somewhere a kid is dying of hunger because rubbish DLC is EVIL!

I'd like to add, as someone who has some knowledge of modeling/texturing, the non animated floral pattern shotgun would take about 10 minutes doing.. It's absolutely unbelievable that they sell that piece of shit. The rainbow pattern one would take longer, depending on if they had that crazy animated rainbow texture lying around (I'm almost certain they did.. cause why would they bother doing that from scratch...). These textures all kinda look like something they did to check for stretching in the UV Maps... (when you unwrap the mesh (wireframe) of a model for texturing purposes, sometimes you fudge it up and certain areas get larger or smaller than they should actually be, and that creates deformities in how the texture bitmap covers the model. Often times people apply a checkerboard pattern to a model to see if it distributes evenly. This could also be done with the beautiful floral tapestry.. And it kinda feels like that's exactly what they did..)

What the what?

None, absolutly NONE of this should have been paid for content, all of it should be unlocks that you earn in-game.

EDIT@ 3600 MSP is obscene, just throwing that out there....

This is true, but at least the game isn't devoid of skins that are not behind the pay wall. There are still other unlockables. Say no to bad DLC guys, and avoid paying for this trash.

lol amazing idea for a quick look

One Paul Barnett declared 775 million dollars to be an illegal amount of money. I did not know Whiskey Media had so much money.

Well this was a pleasent surprise!

Totally not worth it.

None, absolutly NONE of this should have been paid for content, all of it should be unlocks that you earn in-game.
