That's what happens when motivations clash - to "them" it might only seem like a way to earn a lot of money. To "us" it's almost sacrilege. People are emotionally invested in the stories and characters and they expect a similar level of emotional involvment from the creators. Instead they get literally shat on by EA, that chooses to take a route with the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) money/passion ratio.
I don't mind paying for games that are good. Hell, I have 23 premium ships in World of Warships, and the game is "free"
but removing huge chunks of the story, and not just random filler but the conclusion of game 2 for example (The Arrival DLC) or 90% of all interactions between characters you learned to know and love over the 3 games (citadel dlc, yes it's so full of character fluff) ? That's simply stupid.
It's like a musician releasing a song to promote a record, only to not include it on the actual record, unless you pay extra.
Or another way: choose your favorite franchise, whether it's a movie, tv series, book, game - it doesn't matter. And in the middle, change the focus from what made it stand out, to making more money because hey, you're already hooked right ? So you won't mind paying extra for the content that should have been included initially.

I am all for big addons that build on the original game - look at the Witcher for one. Sure the expansions costed 20$ each, but they delivered a lot of quality and didn't mess with the main game at all.
In ME ? pay 15$ for a dlc that will only take an hour to finish, but it's an absolutely crucial link between 2 and 3, story wise. because fu*k you, that's why.

To end: if their only motivation is to make money, maybe they should have started a Dunder Mifflin type company and sell copy paper, instead of ****ting over what millions of people got emotionally involved with.

ive been playing dead by daylight off and on since release but for the last couple of weeks it’s been a daily play.

both it and Friday the 13th are a ton of fun and i really hope we see more games explore the asymmetrical horror survival genre. DBD could definitely be bettered, simply because exploiting things like pallet looping and killer’s with garbage internet connections are beyond frustrating.

Haven't played a game in about a week cause my back on my left shoulder blade has been killing me. Until now it's been my right shoulder that keeps acting up so it's nice to know that the left is no longer feeling left out. Sigh. Garbage job, one friend in the world, no prospects, a psyche of questionable stability, and yet life thinks I need one more thing to be **** upon. Just watch, my vision's gonna go next and comic books and the internet will be a thing of the past.

FML.

Try going to sleep with a bum shoulder while praying you don't lay on it wrong and then come at me.

I came here to post about games, but now I feel bummed out.

If you ever visit Denmark, beer is on me.
