EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

DLC is a pox and you're terrible for supporting it.

The last add-ons to a game I bought were the Morrowind expansions.

Somehow every developer on steam eventually gives you the full game a year or two later, so I have all the Skyrim DLCs, even though I refuse to purchase them.

The Witcher 3 DLC is loving amazing. DLC is probably the wrong word because they are fully fledged expansions like the Morrowind ones that add an absolute tonne of content to the game.

But gently caress DLC like in things like Mortal Kombat where you have to pay money to be allowed to use something that is on the disc

And gently caress micro transactions that give you consumables in games most of all

Oh, I really like the witcher 3, so maybe I'll get the expansions. I did not know that. I thought it was more like assassin's creed where there were permanently locked animus chapters that required real money, and some were tied to real life events that ended, making the game impossible to 100%.

gently caress you, Ubisoft. Thanks for poisoning the well.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Just googled some reviews, and the gaming sites seems to give it like a 80% or so. That's like "garbage" right, as no video game reviews are ever lower than three out of five stars?

I was going to buy this because I do enjoy chill games but everyone making GBS threads on it saying it was boring and repetitive and buggy turned me off and :60bux: is like 6-10 six-packs. I bought Dark Souls 3 on sale instead.

The only thing I ever heard about no men sky before release was that it's going to be a disaster and you shouldn't be buying it. How did you fall for this poo poo? At least Sim City had a whole con campaign going where they tried to hide all the shittyness in elaborate ways, but this sky business looked and sounded like a scam from the get go.

I fell for beyond earth :(
