    I kinda gave up buying new stuff because of all the editions bullshit. Complete, Deluxe, Gold, Ultimate, Season Pass, Whatever The Fuck Else Special Director’s Cut - yeah, yo ho ho ho your capitalist ass straight to the fire sell.

      Same here, game on sale for $3, but then I see it had $200 in DLC to play the complete game. Major turn off.

      Icarus, Conan, hit man 3, etc.

        hitman 3 is fucking ridiculous. it’s a great game, I love it, but for the love of God just release it in one piece and kill the online mode

        Literally just had that same thing with Icarus while I was looking at the winter sale. I went to reviews to find the catch for the game and people were saying the base game is pretty just a big demo.

      Yeah, it dawned on me a few years ago that games are being sold in an unfinished state just so they can sell us the rest later.

      If you’re still naive enough to spend money on things you can be getting for free (just to make someone else richer), at least wait until what you’re buying is complete.

        yeah, i don’t mind DLC being sold separately, especially when it’s a full-fledged expansion like a good old add-on - not just an extra mission and stuff - proper 5-10 extra hours. But when you get this impossible to follow selection of options - it annoys the hell out of me and i switch to something that has only one package and doesn’t require market analysis skills to figure out the best version to buy. Or just yo ho ho fuck’em all instead because that’s what happens.
