Bigred's Video Game Thread

[Jack Sawyer]

yeah, details I guess. Companies will sell products where there is a market for them. If there is a market for selling games piecemeal, why should a company be denied the chance to compete in that market? Just because you personally don't care for it, doesn't mean that it's time to call in the sheriff and outlaw the practice entirely.

Hahahahahaha how ironic a statement. This vid is just up today



They literally locked content already available behind the Curse of Osiris DLC. There is a market for this? Yes, once you are a captive audience because you played the game. You didn't know they'd remove content you already have to but it behind a DLC wall.

You just get this news today that the DLC is out. They literally removed old content and want to resell it to you as DLC. Hahahahahahahahaha so funny

Shady business practices AF. These assholes will not be seeing my money.

Look man, I know it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy to find other people just as pissed about not getting the toys you want, but you need to seriously seriously seriously take a strong look at the credibility of your sources.

I watched the first few minutes of that video and I can tell you that it is full of extraordinary factual inaccuracies. Inaccuracies that, if corrected, would negate the entire motivation for this video.

He claims that the new expansion pack raised the level cap to 25. This is true.

He claims that the new expansion pack raised the power requirement for certain activities like the Nightfall mission. This is true.

He claims that you NEED the expansion pack in order to acheive the required power level for that mission. THIS IS FALSE.

He also claims that the power levels required are something around 320 or 330. This is also false. I've been playing for nearly a week straight and the highest level player I've ever seen is about 305.

The power level required for the nightfall mission is something like 260. It used to be 220. I know this, because unlocking that mission is literally the last thing I did before I went to bed last night. I'm at power level 270 something right now. I can see the nightfall mission on my map. It claims a power requirement of 260, and therefore it is available to me, as we speak. I'm going to play it tonight....without paying extra!!

The power level requirement for the game's most demanding mission is now 290. It used to be 260.

There is nothing in the game that requires a power level higher than 290 right now. I know this because I checked less than 18 hours ago, which was 24 hours AFTER the DLC was implemented.

And the "base" game provides you the opportunity to grind your power level, relatively easily, to something north of 300 and access all the things that were in the game to begin with. Absolutely NOTHING has been taken away, and any claim to the contrary is hopelessly misinformed.

So that video's claim that old content has been removed and locked behind a DLC paywall is a flat out LIE.

I'm telling you Jack, I played the game YESTERDAY, and everything your video-friend just said is factually incorrect. It's a salacious falsehood with no basis in reality.

And that link about Forza 7. That's WHINY BELLY-ACHING!! Just because something was in Forza 6, doesn't mean they're obligated to do it exactly the same way in Forza 7.

If you like Forza 6....PLAY THAT!!

Curse of Osiris expansion[/URL], you're now locked out of some high-level activities if you're playing without the new DLC.
That's because the Curse of Osiris expansion raises the level cap for Destiny 2 characters. Likewise, the endgame level and Power Level requirements have also been raised for activities like the raid and Nightfall Strike. At least for their more exciting Prestige variants. Both have been raised to a 330 recommended Power Level.
So if you're playing on Destiny 2 without the expansion, you're stuck at 305 Power Level and left out in the cold from the nice 330 endgame content.

So, this is Fake News?
