yea aparently the demos will be around 4 hours long lol.

yea right most of EA's games dont even contain 4 hours of gameplay.

at the rate ubisoft and ea are going soon it will be "charactes and content sold seperately."

even the lines of dialogue and text will be micro transaction DLC Laughing

meh hardly a convincing argument... you got like 11 characters in the game for ur teammates, so quibbling over ONE bonus character with a new mission is pretty damn silly.

I heard EA is planning to sell a whole bunch of 'em. But you're right of course, it's not THAT menacing at the moment.

sorry was dunk when i wrote that

and yeah i meant "and what in god blazes is Mass Effect 2 then ? "characters and content are sold separately."
Tank sold as dlc
2 team members are dlc
and other stuff
u know its a weak argument but it kinda shows what future EA game will look like
ehm well a good example would be the PS3 new GT when you have to buy cars and tracks

as long as they develop stuff AFTER the game is finished and released its fine by me. Kinda cool actually, but cutting stuff out just to sell it seperately at the same time as the game is wrong. And this demo stuff, if i read it correctly there will still be free demos and demos you pay for that is longer. I see no problem with that at all.

yes, it is a sick way to try to press more money out of the consumers. But you can still choose to download the free demo instead of buying a larger demo. So it's really up to you.

i meant they would sell you a bare engine and you would have to buy everything via microtransactions from sound files to textures to scripts , to characters , to weapons.

if ubi and ea thought they could charge you a few hundred for what used to cost 20-30 they would
