I've been burned in the past on season passes myself. That is why I stopped buying them until at least the first content drop so I know what is in them. And often I find by the 2nd dlc drop I'm often over the game anyway so buying just the initial pack ends up cheaper.

I think this argument plays right into the game makers hands. Don't take sides on this. Both have exclusives and timed exclusives. That is pretty normal. Whether you are sony or xbox, paying the same price for less content is a bad trend to start.

Or - you could you know - take a stand and say "I'm not getting ripped off and I'm not buying this DLC" Buy it when the timer expires if you still want it (my guess is you and most gamers will have moved on by then and you'll have saved $20 toward another game)

The sad part is that despite all the venom on the message boards and twitter - those same people will still buy the DLC. We, the consumer can say no - I won't let Bungie (or whoever) rip me off. We will continue to see this crap as long as people keep buying it. If people want to stop this - don't buy the Destiny…

This seems even worse than those (which started this stupid trend). It is one thing to make people wait 30-60 for a DLC pack....it is another to charge the same price for a lot less content. This is a building on a bad trend

This trend is annoying. No matter which console you prefer it bites you on some game or another. In this case they have made it even worse because they are offering what - 1/3 less content at the same price (already an outrageous $20 for not a lot of stuff). Even if they are going to give Sony that stuff for a year…

28 year old high mileage, bad locker room guy RB who wants #1 money? No thanks.

Ok - never had Skyline but what is the chili just nasty? It's chili, cheese, and spaghetti right from the looks of it? I mean alone all three are usually good food. Many people put cheese on chili. I haven't tried chili over pasta but unless the chili is gross I can't imagine that alone would make good food turn…

This - I really liked the game play and tactical nature of Tactics. The story was meh - but solid turn based squad tactics game. I like XCOM as well and that also has kinda a meh story. A bit better, but not by much.

My Black Friday Strategy - go out to a few stores like Best Buy or Target about 1 or 2 PM and scope through the left overs. I almost always find a great deal. Trick is you can't be looking for something specific and know that you may come away with nothing. I know last year I scored the complete MASH series on Blu…

Donovan - there are better ways to try and get back in the league than call a talk show.

I just worry there isn't enough talent to field two more teams that are competitive. There are enough perennial losing teams. the NHL doesn't need two more.

But NBC doesn't live in a cave - they see the same pictures of empty arenas and can read the standing and know that whole "when they get good..." thing is unlikely to happen. I don't like anyone to lose their team, but clearly after like 15 years it isn't working in Miami. No sports really do except the Dolphins…

But is anyone really watching the games in Miami? I have a hard time believing they are getting much tv audience at all. I'd think a smaller market like Seattle with more tickets sold and more tvs would trump a large market where no one cares.

They point for the Caps (and I share a plan with a buddy) is that the team improved. The Panthers have been awful forever it seems.

At some point though people have to start buying. They have been doing the freebie thing for like a decade. It clearly isn't working. Part of that is the on ice product, but it could be the ticket prices in general. Maybe they should lower them all. I mean if you sell 1 seat at $80 bucks but can sell maybe 4 at…

I wasn't a fan myself - it seemed like a week MMO and a repetitive shooter with no story. Most of my friends have moved on from it. But I'm sure many people like you still enjoy it so play on! Play what you like. Doesn't really matter if it reviews weak or a lot of people don't like it. If you have fun that's…

It seems like your closing statement doesn't really make sense with "Should I play this game = Yes"

This - 1000x this. I remember as a kid getting a sports card "worth" some crazy dollar amount. Problem was no one would buy it for this price or anything close. Those values are usually what a dealer will sell it to you for. Maybe in an auction it is a bit different but you have to find someone with $30,000 to…

we'll see - and I'm not a EA basher in general. I like a bunch of their games. Although I have noticed they seem to struggle getting server systems ready for launch. Hopefully they get it together because bad launch experiences are good for no one - them or gamers
