30 DOLLAR DLC
>>
>>58364340
You'll buy it anyway.
>>
they don't even bother to hide that they develop this shit at the same time as the packaged game, lmao. like we all know you do it, but holy shit, at least lube us up before you go up our asses. save the dlc reveal for december or january. gf received nothing but thumbs-downs for bein a quickshot with this dlc. certainly does not help that those raichus look ai-generated
>>
>>58364340
i wonder how barren plass2 as is will be
>>
THANK YOU GAMEFREAK
>>
>>58364430
YOU ARE WELCOME MY SON
DON'T FORGET TO
PREORDER
>>
>>58364340
BEFORE RELEASE
>>
I’ll buy it anyway
>>
>>58364340
It wasn't long ago the main games were $40...
And now they have less content than ever!
>>58364417
I totally agree how shitty this feels for potential customers. And it IS shitty, money-grubbing behavior. But it's well known in the game industry that DLC sales drop the farther they are from release

>>58364340
Are there going to be more new Mega forms in this DLC or is it just two Raichu?
>>
>>58364340
>>58364347
>Implying I'll pay for it
>>
>>58364497
The assumption is that this DLC hides some more mega's, at the moment nobody knows yet.
>>
>>58364529
Then I might get it.
>>
>>58364340
I already pre-ordered it.
>>
>>58364340
I’ll preorder only if I get something special for preordering it.
>>
>>58364497
Yep and they're also going to be Raichu with some Charizard forms thrown in. My dad's boyfriend's dog works at Nintendo so he's knows what he's talking about.XJTY8
>>
>>58364585
Are we related? My gay cousins dog works at Nintendo too.
>>
Y'all would get mad anyways and ask for it to be in base game no matter when it was released. Idk what's y'alls problem with it being revealed already: now you can buy a game that you know it's going to get content for a while. You're going to buy it anyways and this is much better than 2 versions + 3rd game
>>
>>58364340
Why 30$ for just one when the last two generations had at least two of downloadable content?
>>
>>58364340
if they are asking for 30 dollars couldn't have they shown something apart from a fucking canva animation with two raichus
i don't get this fucking company
i am not buying this because i am still 50% sure the "portal" is the same shit as USUM wormholes and the dlc just leads to a fucking empty lumiose like ultramegalopolis
>>
>>58364340
the game looks ass enough, Game Freak does not give two fucks about Pokemon
>>
>>58364439
Inflation puts those "$40" titles at $60 comparatively m8. Get a fucking job, stop being a poor sometime.
>>
>>58364347
$30 for a new Pikachu? I don't even own a Switch. I guess I will buy it.
>>
>>58364340
>releases 10/16/25
I thought the DLC doesn't come out until February? It's literally day one DLC???
>>
>>58364585
>>58364606
My gay dog works at Claire's and he said there's going to be a new Mewtwo form in it.
>>
>>58364340
technically less than the sv dlc
>>58364732
it could be when they release the x and y outfits for people who bought it
we’ll have to wait and see

Digimon is worse
>>
>>58364751
No, they outright stated part 2 (ie, the actual fucking DLC) was going to launch next February. Never mind the majority of their kid audience won't have even gotten the game day one launch, as they generally get that shit as christmas presents (which is why they launch end of the year instead of June). Which is why it's the end of February - give the wee cunts time to complete the game. If you faggots would think outside yourselves, this shit would be obvious, right down to them outright saying the release dates for pt 1+2 in the DLC pre-order blurb.
>>
i did some reading on Lugia and it was suppose to be the X pokemon? i doubt they would bring back the idea since it was some film makers OC, but i still think it would be nice for a call back on their previous cut content
>>
>>58364869
Not to defend Scamco, but a lot of that's redundant.
>>
Does the dlc come out day 1 or is that just a placeholder date?
>>
>>58365635
It's some kind of fuckery to play nice with Japanese regulations I think, there's the outfits when the game releases, then the story content part's launching next Feb.
>>
>>58364340
Imagine being so poor $30 is a problem to you. That's basically pocket change.
>>
>>58364347
this
pokespicjeet cattle deserves to be scammed
>>
>>58365648
Ok so it's just the release date of the actual game and not the release date of the dlc to fuck with me specifically. Cool good to know
>>
meganium's in the base game already, the dlc isn't necessary

>>58364347
i haven't bought a single pokemon game since bw2
they have no power here

It's like going to a restaurant or going to real restaurant
>go to mcd
>order menu
>need to pay for fries and drink
>sloppy, tastes ok
>not satisfying

>next day, go to an actual restaurant
>chef makes one big handcrafted burger for less
>perfect bun, juicy patty, fresh toppings
>free fries
>need to pay for drink
>actually feel satisfied
imho, I'm letting the paypiggies purchase the game, possibly I'll wait for champions or gen 10

>>58364439
Nintendo DLC doesn't go on sale often if at all. The only time I see Pokemon + DLC go for a more reasonable price is the "all in one" set when it goes on sale but even then it only goes down to maybe $60 from $90.

>>58364869
Only stuff "worth" getting are the season pass (although nothing's out yet ffs), the costume pack if you must (because then the sets are all in it), the preorder bonus, the outer dungeons, and fuck the BGM and the overpriced bgm.
So more like $60 than $100 extra. On top of the insane $70 for a fucking digital-only game.
But.
The Deluxe Edition is Season Pass + a costume set you apparently can't get any other way. And Ultimate Edition is all the shit in one lump buy including said costume set. Literally cheaper to get Ultimate Edition but like fuck I'm gonna reward that price scale.
>>

>go too a restaurant or a real restaurant
What do you mean by that?
Fast food vs sit-down?
>>
>>58364869
Most of that is cosmetics and you can inject pirated dlc into a legit game anyway. Even with denuvo, denuvo games are in a better position than switch 2 games because someone in russia will sell you an offline activation key for 1 dollar, whereas there won't be a switch 2 hack

I didn't buy SV DLC.
I'm not buying a Switch 2.
I'm not buying Legends Z-A.
And I'm certainly not buying Z-A's uncut content.
You have no power anymore, nigger.
I vote with my wallet.
All should do the same.

>I vote with my wallet.

"vote with my wallet" crowd when they realize everyone does so implicitly when making a purchase, rendering them a minority and thus the losing party
>>
>>58365573
why are you defending them then?
>>
>>58366787

I've pre-ordered Legends Z-A

It's so goofy when people get mad about DLC being cut content. Game design isn't a strictly linear process. The optics are the issue here, not the timeline. You place more emphasis on how it's being marketed and positioned, rather than the product itself.

I think it's neat when DLC is part of the initial roadmap. The way Terapagos was teased in the base game was clever, rather than being a tacked on side story.

That being said, I don't think the ZA dlc is finished. BDSP only exist because Legends Arceus was delayed. Holiday Pokemon gams have been November/Black Friday releases for over a decade, but Legends ZA is releasing in October. I assume it was pushed ahead to accommodate Metroid's delay.

The theory just doesn't hold water. It would've been cheaper to ship PLA in an unfinished state for holiday 2021, then sell endgame content as DLC in the spring. Instead, they fast tracked a whole other game to fill that slot. It was a shitty budget project, but it's completely counter-intuitive if you believe this idea that these games are being cut up and sold piecemeal.

They didn't even announce a release date for the DLC beyond "sometime before Pokemon day", and that's probably due to the base game being pushed ahead for an October release. And with the game being multi-plat, the workload for QC and bug testing has effectively doubled.

this one was actually better than the mainland game, you should get it
it looks and runs better too

>It's so goofy when people get mad about DLC being cut content

You're right, but it's /vp/. They're intentionally interpreting it in the least generous way possible to be antagonistic. Anyone with a brain understands game development takes time, and those who don't are just creating verbal shit to clog up the pipes of the internet.
>>
>>58364417
i think it's fine desu. I appreciate them being upfront about it at least, I'd rather go into a game knowing their plans rather than them just announcing DLC straight after. That may just be me though
>>
>>58365486
They called Lugia "Pokémon X" when they were teasing the second movie in early 1999 and hadn't fully revealed it yet.

There's a little bit of distinction between it and the game in Japan. Pokémon X vs Pocket Monsters X.

Pokémon is the Taylor Swift of videogames
>>
>>58367705
In early art Lugia's chest had an X emblem. I think they were trying to replicate the hype and mystery that Mew had, those early Mew rumours in Japan are what boosted Pokemon to the top of the charts. Even before the first movie, they were merchandising Mew to capitalize on its popularity

>>58367690
that's not a vp thing, that's just normies having internet access. No barrier to entry. Anyone with phone has tell the world how smart they are.

I might also get Z-A's uncut content but I need to see what's in it first.

The state of the market is only fault of the consumers.
Nintendo will keep putting incomplete games out with mediocre to ok DLCs because they know all their man child fans are going to buy it. Nintendo has a grip on their will stronger than themselves. So yeah, 30 dollar DLC, 40 dollar in a couple of years.

I mean, yeah, it's excessive, but nearly all of that shit is costumes and music that have no impact on gameplay. At least it's not a fucking Paradox game.
