Its not dlc. You are paying money for additional in game points. You are paying to gain quicker access to content already in the game that you could otherwise get through simply playing the game for a bit longer.
This is a model frequently adopted in F2P games for the devs/publishers to earn money. The issue here is this game is not F2P.
"Say for instance a gold pack costs 15,000 gold, [and] you've only got 12,500 you can actually buy the difference and only spend a little bit to make it go to a Gold Pack. So we offer some variety there."
I for one am shocked.
This game is like a parody of everything thats wrong with gaming at the moment.
Maybe they need to extra money to improve on their last-gen graphics.

But the pack also includes automatic achievement completion to boost my gamerscore without achieving anything!That one's free. Look it up on Youtube.

This model was invented six years ago by EA when they startet selling faster progression.
Seeing practice like this make me somehow glad if mobile managed to kill console gaming.
I bet the pricing is such that doing this is more expensive (per gold) than buying a 5k gold pack but costs less as a transaction.
e.g. price difference 2.5k = $3.49, 5k pack = $4.99
Usual F2P tactics.
Best deal indeed.
It sounds like, if I'm understanding right, the game game will only let you buy things if with real money if you have a certain amount of in game money.
Nuff said.
Why? Mobile gaming is the hands down worst offender of them all.
Neither do I. It was bad enough in Dead Space 3 but I don't want to see this proliferate.
This news and Killer Instinct - another Xbox One exclusive - are making me ever more suspicious of Microsoft. Is this gonna be a thing on their system?
lolLock me in and make me watch bad animations if old
I hope nobody in this thread bought Tales of Xillia.

Not the same. In this, you're paying for one of these booster packs, which is a randomized item. Meaning that even if you want to pay for everything, you'll have to gamble your cash in hopes that you get what you want.
I thought we already went through this faux outrage with the ME3 multiplayer.
Nuff said.
I'm going to laugh when this game gets 3/10's across the board.
This game just keeps on getting crappier and crappier.
Yeah, I feel like ryse is going to get SLAMMED.
