Dead Space 3 Concerns
For those who are interested in getting Dead Space 3, you may want to consider the following three things:
1. It will include microtransactions.

2. It isn't optimized for PC.

3. DLC has already been announced, despite the fact that the game hasn't even hit stores yet.

To sum it up, I wouldn't recommend buying this game (if you actually care about what I recommend). No game with a $60 price tag should include microtransactions, and no developer should make plans for their games DLC before the game even comes out. Not to mention the fact that PC gamers are getting completely ripped off because the developer is to lazy to make a good PC port. In the interest of fairness? Really?
Hopefully the VicseralGames/EA realize their mistake and decide to fix the PC port, put the DLC planned into the original game, and drop the microtransactions. Of course, this probably won't happen.

5 RepliesI'm indifferent on the microtransactions. That's just EA trying to grab as much money as they can from "mobile gamers." The scavenger bots also make this something only people with an instant gratification mindset would consider, as stated by John Calhoun As for the PC, the first two were the same. Most people play DS on console, and while having it fully optimized for PC would be nice, EA wouldn't wait the few weeks for it to happen. To them, it's just money lost. At least it can be modded, i guess... I'm fine with the DLC for 2 reasons. 1:It's not disc locked. We all hate it when devs do that. 2:There are plenty of story options available. From Isaac's dad Paul (mentioned in DS1) to Lexine and Gabe (Steve hinted he was still kicking at the end of severed)There's a plethora of possibilities of how it can add content to an already HUGE game. At least it's not a day one DLC scam including details about the markers origins. *Glares at ME3* Overall, IMO, as long as the game delivers, i couldn't care less. Dead Space is one of my favorite franchises, and i want to see it prosper. [i]Altman be praised[/i]
