I think that by 2017 there will be preorder exclusives that you can only get by preordering from certain vendors and then cancelling that preorder for another vendor's preorder.

Cancel your preorder on Amazon and get the M1G1 Rifle Ultimax! Only when you cancel your preorder from Amazon and preorder instead at Gamestop.

He's written the same article for about every single big AAA game that's come out in the past six months and it's the same: Wahhhhhhhhhhhh, I can't have the entire game in my hands at launch, my stupid old daddy hands streaked with tears and baby poo poo I have to wipe constantly (he does not know if the tears and poo poo belong to him or his children, who have stolen away his precious gaming time like videogame vampires, the little shits). Please do not buy the game and play it in front of me while I have to play with these stupid loving Playmobil toys with my dumb kids; the game is probably stupid and boring anyways. You're the idiot for playing it at launch. That article and his parenting articles combined just really give off this incredible sense of sour grapes.

Whether he's an idiot or not, I have to admit that chopping the content up all over the place is worrisome considering how Arkham Asylum GOTY didn't have the Joker exclusive. And Origins didn't have Knightfall DLC on Steam either, to my recollection.

That was Playstation-exclusive poo poo, though, which is kinda different. I'm praying that this'll be easy to round up after launch - like how Arkham City distributed all the skins in its $5 skin pack individually amongst a billion different sources - but I don't blame people for being worried. Also you're delusional if you think the PS-exclusive "Scarecrow missions" aren't just gonna be of the same quality of the endless skeleton fight Asylum had.

Game development costs are a billion times higher than they were even ten years ago - and games are still being sold at sixty dollars. I'd rather get a good "Core" version of the game and have the option to pay for more content versus having to drop $90 for every title. Or god forbid, having everything turn into a free 2 play circlejerk. Of course, I'm still super nervous about Arkham Knight's season pass. It could just be an hour-long Batgirl mission, a few brief mini-missions, and a poo poo-ton of challenge maps for all we know.

Quick question, and I fear I know the answer; Is the season pass for PS4 region locked? As in, I can't buy it from that Columbian site and expect it to work here in the UK?

Kin posted:I'd rather ignore your inability to grasp marketing. Edit: bleh. You're probably right. Maybe I'm just a sucker for marketing, but I still think the trailer looks cool and gives me the vibes of the Arkham Asylum Scarecrow sections, which were one of the best things from that game. I hope the Scarecrow mission is just an extended scarecrow hallucination section like that (and hope it doesn't remain PS4 exclusive forever...)

It's too late for all this dlc discussion. I mean in general. Preorder bonuses before gameplay footage and every other gross tactic work really well. All the whiny clickbait authors in the world and people begging others to vote with their wallets are useless against the millions of people who vote "who cares I wanna have fun". Just give in, it's much less stressful on this side.

Gamers must be great to market to since they will waste vast amounts of money on anything, get really defensive about it even if its total crap and have no pattern recognition at all.

Would you rather pay $90 straight out of the box? I'm fine with DLC and see it as a necessary economic part of the industry. Now, releasing games that are so glitchy and unplayable and broken until months after the launch date... that's a horrid practice that really needs to stop.

Yeah, broken games suck and is an actual problem for consumers and developers. I do find it funny that the only game to ever really feel like the DLC was a piece of the main story carved out was Arkham City but gamers insist that DLC itself is cut content full stop. Yes, the developers cut out a 3 hour story that takes place after the main story and has tweaks to the mechanics not present in the main game just to sell it to you 3 months from now.

Narcissus1916 posted:Would you rather pay $90 straight out of the box? What I usually do is wait for a GOTY edition later and preferably a steam sale so whatevs, I dont spend 50+ euro on videogames  Ironically if a game ships with tons of (usually temporarily) retailer exclusive Dlc and has lots of extra content coming im less likely to buy it early and will just wait until its all bundled together. Otherwise it depends on the dlc, I like quite big chunky narrative dlc similar to expansion packs of yore that play around with mechanics and plot (ie: dead money for fallout new vegas) as opposed to the nickel and dime crap with costumes and weapons and such, the arkham series has generally been weighted towards the latter. Apart from that its not my problem that videogame companies are bankrupting themselves in their sisyphean quest for photo-realism, I have little interest in supporting that.

Someone found a way to get the PS3 exclusive Knightfall DLC working on PC. I'm not sure if linking to a Steam guide with files not even intended to be available on the platform counts as  so just go look at the Steam guide for it. Apparently trying to use the Bruce Wayne Initiation skins on the Knightfall challenge maps crashes the game because of how it's implemented but otherwise it appears to work perfectly fine. I can finally live out my dream to beat up mans in the best most gaudy Batman costume ever.

El Hefe posted:at the end it makes perfectly clear what it is No, I'm pretty sure that's the intro to the game. They just tacked on the 'PS4 exclusive Scarecrow missions' thing because it was the Sony press conference. That didn't really look anything like the Scarecrow missions from the trailer that was released for them.
