this is why i cant blame them for not being active in the community.
Im not saying OPs points are not valid, just that they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The game obviously did well enough for SONY not to SCRAP it right away. Sony are still funding them now to make DLC and continue to work on the game, so they have to get sony a return in some way. and the DLC is the way they pay sony back with sales, and we keep geting improvments.
AS LONG as they listen to the community i couldnt give a fuck if they stroke my 8" ego and if they deliver what the players want along with the “paid dlc” im willing to pay for that.
Ill but the DLC just to fund the game so it keeps gettin worked on. I dont care about dutch to be honest. Dont get me wrong its cool as fuck and it must have cost a lot to do it, it hopfully will pay off and it hopfully will get more people to play fireteam and that will help the games playability and queue times etc.
If ALL it is though is dutch character, and a new gun and knife. there is NO WAY i will buy it.
IF its accompanied with atleast 1 map, bugfixes, Quality of life improvments, balance tweaks AND dutch … I will buy it 100% day 1. Even at $15 USD… i know, thats fucking WAY overpriced… but you are paying for ARNIE! You are paying for those “free tapes” that cost the most, in the form of a character that cost basically nothing!
Same with “long tall sally” music in the chopper! - Yeah id fucking love that shit… but if it adds another $5 to everyone as DLC is that worth it for what they have to pay for it?!
“free update” better include the fixes and the other shit. and paid includes dutch + map etc
Anyway. those are just my opinions and my rant is over.
