Pretty lame rewards this month. Kind of upset to see the selection drop down from 4 to 2 this month. It would be nice if there was any indication of the quality of games that would be offered, then I'd know how to spend some of the coins I have. I nearly pulled the trigger last month on Majora's Mask, but I don't think I need that game a third time over.
I agree, I can't believe they haven't asked for someone's head on a spike.
10% discount for a digital copy? I'll go retail, thanks.
Shame that THQ has fallen this far. Maybe they can turn it around...
Screw these online passes. This is really starting to piss me off.
I love how this article has gotten no responses. I don't care for these games personally, but it was always my impression that they were pretty well loved. Is a fifth game too much? Are people ready for it to go on hiatus for a while?
I am, but this is actually an original production, merely based loosely on the original.
So I just beat this 100%. It was pretty damn tough, but the bonus you get for it is pretty rockin'. I'm incentivized to go back through the whole thing again - but not until I finish Pushmo. Plus Sakura Samurai is dropping this week, so that'll slow me down a bit too.
I think the problem here all comes down to intent. While this may have been planned from the get-go, the intent was to create the downloadable content alongside the development of the main game. At that point, you may as well be including the content right on the disc and giving it to everyone. If your intent is to release the game, then create more content down the road and sell it as an expansion, it's clear that you are trying to expand the play experience and draw players back in after they've completed the main quest.
Regardless of intent, all of this online pass business and day one DLC just seems like a smack in the face to the consumer. If you're not making enough money because you spent too much on the game and need to sell too many copies to break even - start making games differently. Hate to say it, but captialism is getting the better of so many of the game companies out there right now. If you make bad investments and mistreat your customers, you're not long for this market.
I was planning on getting the PlayStation 3 version of this game anyway, so ... hooray!
