Amazon updated my 360 pre-order to "estimated delivery December 5, 2014". Checked a few other places and it seems like a number have greyed out their 360 pre-order capabilities specifically. This game might do well?

Nice that Graves gets to be in a game when his career got cut short so early (not sarcastic). Can't imagine the royalties are gonna be that great, though. I wonder if you can set him as a manager... or whether you can make managers in general? Either the body models are weird or there's some perspective error with the camera on that angle - you get the same effect on Graves' torso there that you got on the previously released Hulk Hogan pic (the one with the feather boas). The ribcages seem distended. Anyway, nice detail on the turnbuckles, and Zayn's face seems on-point. All of them do.

Almost certain Meltzer reported it, said they still wanted to keep them around for backstage stuff, besides the fact that firing someone after career ending concussions would be a very bad PR move. I think it was around the time of the fan Axxess (or however they spell it) event. There's probably some objective metric by which they decide who's had enough concussions and who's good to get back into the saddle. Wonder what they have him doing. If he kept up on his mic work there's no reason he couldn't be a Lefort-style manager

I read something from this week on Graves being at an NXT Live event to pump up the crowd. Hopefully he can be a manager and do some behind the scenes things too.

Ugh I am on supercard tilt. Legend KOTR semifinals, My team: Max Epic pro (Booker T + Austin tag), Bray, Legend pro (but low level) Eddie, Legendary Natty His: 3 trash, Epic Pro Warrior, Epic Pro diva. His diva and my tag team auto-wins, and I win any combination of singles that isn't his warrior vs. my Bray, which he beats in 2/4 stats (and ties in another). No Diva match? I win No Warrior selected in singles? I win His Warrior matches vs. Eddie? I win His Warrior loses or ties vs. Bray? I still win I lost 2-0

I call bullshit already. Note that they say 'Season Pass', which means the three story packages + Paige are on the disc. If the extra moves and other wrestlers—the content not included under the seaosn pass, which is a stupid notion unto itself—aren't on the disc from launch then they'll be having to force everybody to download that data anyway for the sake of online compatibility.

There is a marked difference between a company bothering to pretend they've gone to some extra effort to get additional money from you and a company which doesn't even respect its customers enough to pretend not to gouge them. If you hand over £45, $60 or however much for a game disc, you expect to be able to make use of everything on that game disc. Being asked to pay an additional £20, $40 or whatever in order to be granted access to parts of a disc you already bought is an ongoing outrage. Publishers and developers could make all the content, take it all off the disc and make everybody download it wholly and you know what, that would at least be far less of a slap in the face. As it is it's just a plain, direct insult to the people who these companies rely on: holding areas of the disc to ransom and pretending it's some kind of service.

Oh cool, this discussion. People who complain about DLC in any loving way other than just going "I'm not going to pay for that" bug the poo poo out of me. Yes. They are trying to get more money out of you. It is a video game, no one gives a gently caress about your outrage at being charged more money for it.

Even though there's a 99.999% chance the content was done at the same time as the game development in the first place, because that's how software development from pretty much every developer that hires people on a per-project contract basis works, you do realize right? The fact that it's on a disc shouldn't come into the argument. Additional content is a design strategy. You suckers keep paying for it. They'll keep making it.

I pay for DLC on games like the WWE ones because I know I will be using it enough for it to matter. If I'm only popping in WWE to play through the single player once and occasionally play multiplayer with friends, then I wouldn't be paying for it. But since I really enjoy creating my own shows and feuds in Universe, its worth it to have the extra characters, moves, and everything else that comes with them. It seems especially stupid to complain about DLC in a game like WWE 2K15, when if you don't want to pay for it, you can pretty easily find a pretty good CAW via other people's creations online. Same could be said for not paying for additional feuds and just downloading created storylines online. With the amount of free content made available through their creation tools, the WWE games would actually be one of the last games I would be complaining about locking some content away via DLC.

It's not that DLC exists, it is how it is dished out (or rather, ransomed) that is the issue.Telex posted:The fact that you frame the concept like this shows your disconnect from the reality of how games are made and pretty much invalidates your entire argument. And, so... quote:The fact that it's on a disc shouldn't come into the argument. Additional content is a design strategy. You suckers keep paying for it. They'll keep making it. This content is made. When is irrelevant; it would be nice to think a developer focuses solely on the primary content and only begins working on the additional content after the game has shipped, but we all know that's not how it works. How it is delivered to the player is what is important. Making it an actual download, even if the content was finished long before the game shipped, treats the customer with at least a base level of respect. You paid your money for the game disc, you got everything on that disc; if you wish to pay more money to recieve extra stuff, here's that option. Not bothering to even humour the consumer and instead just putting everything on a disc and locking parts of it away to be released later at an additional fee is holding parts of the game to ransom. In this instance the developer and publisher are treating the consumer with contempt; it is saying that the customer is too stupid to know that they already have the data sitting in their disc tray so let's gouge them for extra cash so they can use something they already own. Thankfully for myself and anybody else within the EU, advertising laws here are changing so publishers have to clearly inform consumers that some data is being locked off, rather than it being pitched as additional data to add on. Similarly, 'free to play' games will shortly no longer be able to be advertised as such if they include micro-transactions. North America is going to remain hosed in both regards, though. To put it in terms you may find more sympathetic, imagine you ordered WrestleMania at the normal, full PPV price (what is it, $60 or so for WM in HD now?), but then once the show is on you find out that the feed cuts out during the middle two matches on the card until you pay another $20. You'd cry bullshit, right? Now imagine you paid your $60 for the WM HD feed and then a message pops up saying you have the option to pay another $20 to see two more matches as a post-show bonus. In both cases, those two matches are going to happen regardless of whether you pay to see them or not. The same people will get in the same ring and have the same matches they were always booked to have. The difference between the two instances is that in one version the WWE is trying to strongarm you into paying even more for something you've already bought and in the other case they're offering to sell you something extra. Same matches, same show, same time, different tact and delivery method. One feels like an outrageous slap in the face, the other seems like a pleasant consideration. Now replace 'WWE' with '2K', 'WrestleMania' with 'WWE 2k15' and swap 'matches' for 'modes' and 'characters'.

You'd cry bullshit, right? DLC isn't like the Wrestlemania feed cutting out halfway through the broadcast and holding you up for more money. You can still enjoy all the modes and features of WWE 2K15 you just can't play as our waifu Paige or some indie geeks.

You'd cry bullshit, right? Except it's never the first scenario and always the second. You already know what you're paying for with WWE2K15 upfront, and that's a disc with some locked content on it. It's not like you're going to fire up the disc and be surprised, or you shouldn't be, since the locked content is public knowledge that should be a factor in any rational person's decision to purchase or not. To use your analogy, this would be WWE saying, prior to you purchasing Wrestlemania, that those two matches are only available to someone who pays the extra $20. If that's distasteful, don't buy Mania.
