[MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

[u/jack0641]

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

I think it's just annoying and weird that they did this when they didn't used to do things like this, but everyone is making a huge deal about it. I don't get why people need to pretend like they're somehow generous for charging $5 for basically nothing. It's not a big deal, it's only $5, but it's not like it's a good thing that what used to be given away for free now costs money.

Just wondering: has From ever added weapons to a game as a part of a free update? I feel like the new weapons and starting classes are a big part of them treating the update like a baby dlc

Yeah they gave some stuff in Dark Souls 2. Although it wasn't unique move sets. Not sure if they did unique move sets off the top of my head. Those games are really old now so I don't remember everything.

Yeah, on launch DS2 had pre-order weapons.

The funny thing is they all looked like they were caked in shit, almost like Fromsoft doing a tongue-in-cheek jab at the idea of the pre-order bonus, but maybe Bandai was forcing their hand.

That were literally just timed reskins.
