Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

DLC is when you pay like 5 dollars for a map on console.
Isn't there any other reason for the statement?

I know. Which game were you talking about?
Yea...I may be a bit jealous.
Which games aren't we talking about? All recent CoD games, Battlefield 3, Dead Island, Halo games, Dead Rising, Gears of War games, heck any sort of online shooter game will release DLC's to include more maps and whatnot. =P

DLC is just another way for developers to take more money from us for stuff that should have shipped with the game. Imagine if you had to pay for each D2 patch .....
Undoubtedly. Companies figured that why release content that might not quite be ready (and obviously isn't part of the core storyline), when they can delay the release of those, include it in a later patch, call it downloadable content and earn extra cash on it. From a bussiness stand point, doing the latter makes the most sense no? =P

Yea it sucks for us gamers, but until we grow fed up with it and just all stop buying DLC's, or enough of us do to not make it worth the devs time, then DLC's will be part of the gaming scene.



Edit: Since that other forum was too creepy to sleep in, I'll crash here again. It feels a lot safer.

Good night! :cloud9:

I really don't think that DLC's is such a big deal. There is one for BF3, I haven't bought that, and I'm still having fun.

I never buy DLC, generally speaking it is not worth it for me.

DLC's are the new "expansions"

Like I said never really seen the point of DLCs. I can understand expansions, but don't really feel like play 4-5$ for some small additional content.

Diablo 3 went with the RMAH instead of DLC which is a breath of fresh air imo.

SC2 originally planned to have map dlc, but they scrapped it because of the community outcry.

RMAH doesn't bother me in the slightest to be honest. I wont be buying items with money and if other people want to do that I don't really care.

Me neither, in fact, if I make a few extra coins here and there....

I am not sure how RMAH is going to work as most of the people I have talked to have no intention of spending cash on items but just want to sell their items....

Yea, I'm not sure if I will use it at all or not. I'm not putting any of my money into it but I may sell and then buy. Or I might just sell, depends on how I feel later. People will use it to buy, people still spend tons of money on D2, I'm sure they will do it on D3 also.

Maybe. I will possibly sell and then buy. There is no way I am putting my own money into there.

I kinda don't like the idea of taking money out of the game. seems like it might make it less fun eventually.

The RMAH will work because although purists won't be buying a lot of people will be buying. Look at games with successful micro transactions and people have no issue throwing down 5-10bucks, sometimes more, here and there for a new skin or mount etc. So I see them doing the same with the RMAH. If you read the Bnet boards you see a lot more people who are ok with the RMAH. I won't be using it and I doubt I will be even selling on it unless I find 2 of something an Alt can't use. When I played D2 I played with me and about 8 friends and never traded outside that circle and pretty much found everything I ever had and was very happy.

As promised Kori, here are my specs for my computer: http://www.reviewgist.com/specs/acer-ax3300

I didn't exactly know what specs you wanted, so I just linked to the entire list instead.

@everyone else: I'm another one of those, who are looking to update my graphic card and I talked with Kori about it yesterday and he told me to post it here.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

The nvidia 680 was just released today so you could wait for the 660 to come out and it should decimate d3. Of course with you using on board video like is listed on that spec sheet a 460 or 560 would be a huge upgrade for you now. Actually any discrete (non integrated GPU) would be a big upgrade for you.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea, I know rally nothing about computers, and I have never upgraded it in any way. So, thanks for the recommendation.

As long as it is a graphic card that is out on the market right now, considering that it's something that I want to wish for my birthday.

Yes with you using on board any 500series gpu would be a huge upgrade for you. When you are ready to buy and have a price range let us know and we can steer you in the right direction.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Hmm.. I would say anything between 150-180$ I have no idea what the costs are, so feel free to correct me.
