What the hell is that crap… DLC Age: Origins

Damnit, time fades away quickly, missed some days of postings I guess…

Well, time to rant about something then. =P
This one is sadly about Dragon Age: Origins… don’t get me wrong, I really can’t await to get my hands on the newest installment from Bioware, coming out in early November, but… it’s about this retarded disease called DLC.
This terrible word got popular a while back only because of the X-Box… paying for recycled stuff. New skins, wallpapers, 1 quest (!) for your bucks, instead of a whole addon with enough content to justify the price-tag.
Anyway, where was I?
Bioware got EAed and they already have posted their first DLC phase. And the second I look closer and read this crap I’m quite a little bit upset… Why you ask?

Check this… (wananananana, I’m not even winded)

We can see 3 Add-Ons here, the smaller brother from a**hole… I mean DLC.
At first, The Stone Prisoner! Sounds very interesting to be honest, and according to all those information given (with an awesome video you can find there too) the guys at Bioware made a fine job to add an interesting character to a game, which even hasn’t been released yet. So where is the mistake here? I don’t even mean the logic regarding a 15$ price-tag.
Bloody hell, it’s because the game isn’t even out yet, this isn’t an add-on at all. They did that for the core game anyway, hence you get it thrown at you for free (instead of 15$!), because if you read further you can see that everyone who buys the game gets it for free. AWESOME! You save 15 bucks! Ain’t that grand?
You greedy bastards, I pay 40$ already. I don’t get anything for free!

The next Add-On, Warden’s Keep, clearly also got ripped from the core game, but the price-tag isn’t obviously not that hefty. Because you don’t get it thrown at you. You already saved 15 bucks you know, so those 7$ are a fine investment…
YOU MORONS! =P
God this makes me angry…

And the last one is an Add-On too which… costs nothing as it is normal content for Dragon Age: Origins anyway…

So, to summarize this wall of text, what a great future… the intended gameplay for the core game (you pay 40 bucks for) gets ripped apart to offer quality (no sarcasm, it’s Bioware) DLC. That’s what I’m talking about.
Let me ask a serious question… how about I torrent this game and pay for the DLC only?
Well it’s Bioware, I can’t do that. =P

What the…

I was so close to post something odd here…

Other than that, sorry for the lack of updates these days, I hope I can change that soon. Thanks for visiting though, ‘preciate it.

Also check this server out, some awesome crap happens here I tell you.

Yeah it’s not the only one, but I really like their videos. ;]

Seriously, what’s the deal with all those contests, where you can win a beta key for a game? In my eyes a beta is here to get some testers to check the code for bugs. These days it really can get quite complicated when it comes to programming, as there may be over NINE THOUSEND (even more) lines of crap only a few people understand (and nerds too).

And now tell me a guy who sent a mail because of a “we don’t get any mails otherwise”-contest got “lucky” by receiving a key, has only in mind to “work” for a company without getting paid.
Games are bugged beyond all recognition these days, and people who don’t give a single damn about them should change that. I have no freaking idea why games are so horrible in most cases then. Apparantly it’s intended to screw games up because of endless bugs. It’s a new genre I guess.
Everything doesn’t work, and if you happen to find something which does, send a report, so it can get fixed.

That’s just downright embarrassing…

Yo guys, I’ve updated the Navyfield submarine guide! It turned out to be a quite big update, but the problem I see here is… it isn’t of any value at all.
Just a basic framework, I need pictures to back those information up.
As the ASW (or better AASW) part itself is quite large (it still misses a lot of information), and it also needs some more attention to detail to be of use, I thought about writing a whole new entry regarding just that… how to deal with ASW (AASW -> Anti ASW =P).

Also worth mentioning is the fact, that the basic guide feels very bloated… so yeah, in the near future I’m going to revamp it, which means I’ll split it up, starting with the ASW section.
Hopefully we will see SS4 soon (like the next 2 years :x), this would help a lot, as I’d focus just on this tier then. However, the old guide will be untouched, so if you have issues in earlier tiers you still get your help there.

So what to expect?
In short shiny pictures and more attention to detail (I wouldn’t call it maths). Still enough to not give away my playing style, but enough to have a basic idea what I mean. May take a while, but I’m on it… in some… time. =P
For now, waste your time on the new update! ;]

PS.: I love those tags! ;x

Thou shalt obey those rules

NavyField Rule #1
Don’t give a crap about what other people think, as long as you don’t conflict with the CoC.

NavyField Rule #2
Be an asshat.

NavyField Rule #3
Pull NavyField Rules out of your buttocks.

NavyField Rule #4
Only take #1 serious

NavyField Rule #5
Never be serious, unless when it comes to #1

I’ve posted that in the EU forums, and it deserves a spot in my blog too! Just because it has a lot of truth in it, every single rule is true. Except maybe #2, that’s just me I guess… and 90% of the community (including me, so no, I don’t fail at maths, not that hard at least ;x). The other 10% take a NavyField break, or just are newcomers.
