sheese. u think they'd just include this in the game
A date is a completely different thing and something I would not cheap out on(it's all about impressions after all). DLC nickel and dimes you for the sort of things that were previously included in games as rewards for exploration or completing the game.aku:jiki said:I'm sorry, but this post makes you sound like the dullest person on earth. Do you really care that much about $2.50? I'd hate to see your first dates.
"No, honey, you can't order some bread while we wait. I was going to save that $.50 for gas for the trip home! Actually, we'll be taking the bus. In fact, maybe we should even walk. I can save $3 on that, and in the future I may put that $3 down for a can of soda. Unless there's a sale on the other side of town. What's that? You want to see a movie?! Are you kidding me?! That'll be a full $10 on my part. If I wait 3 years, I can rent it at clearance prices! You will just have to wait."

duckroll said:I have to say the costume design is really cool, but there's no way I'll support paying for a costume that should already be in the game if it's available day 1. This is nonsense!
IGN said:With the recent announcement that alternate costumes would be put up for sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace, many were left wondering what that meant as far as content on the disc goes. Unfortunately, it's a look at what's to come. Itagaki told us that only a handful of extra costumes would be on the disc and that they would all simply be color variations of the first. These will be unlocked as you play through the game. Any costumes that look structurally different will have to be purchased and downloaded, though Itagaki was quick to stress that these are not on the disc and simply unlocked with a download code. Furthermore, the extra costumes were not initially going to be part of the game and have only been recently created. We got a look at these costumes during our play session and, despite the fact that they cost a pretty penny, we have to say they look mighty cool.
...but...IGN said:Itagaki confirmed that there will be another Master Ninja Tournament, but it won't be exactly the same as it has been in the past. This one will be more focused on the community aspects. That's good news to us, but not quite enough to belay our disappointment that there won't be a Mission Mode in Ninja Gaiden 2. When we asked Itagaki about it, he told us he wasn't a fan of it in Ninja Gaiden Black and that it would take on a slightly different form if he was to do it again.
IGN said:And though Itagaki isn't a fan of the mission mode, we did get a look at one a side challenge called a Test of Valor. The MS rep on hand told us that these arena battles are accessible after beating the game and can be found hidden on some levels. That's reason enough for us to keep playing. The one we tried continuously spawned enemies as we took out wave after wave until we succumbed to the onslaught.

duckroll said:Shame on Team Ninja, for a well selling game they sure don't feel like rewarding us fans.

a Master Ninja said:I get the sense that Itagaki may soon cut off his ties with Team Ninja and Tecmo. His comments about wanting to "work with a western developer" combined with him saying NGII is his last NG, well, it's odd. Then again, he did mention DOA5.

Better yet-let's import them for even more money. Sound good?
How can some of you post so much disgust in this topic when your part of the very problem that this industry milks gamers with?
Very selective views in this forum to be sure.

Charge for Everything.
There's a difference between "not available due to legal action" and "could be available, but we decided to hold it back and charge for it". Previous games in this series--both the original and Sigma--included extra costumes for free on the disc. The DLC was reserved for more missions, more enemies, and combat and camera tweaks. This change is what's causing most of the complaints, I think (along with the fact that the DLC has been announced before the game even comes out).Angelus said:Everybody just shut up,run out and buy another $60.00 PS3 rumble controller instead.

His recent comments are a lot more calm than we're used to, it's like he's reflecting on everything he's done up until now. I agree with you, he's definately going to change something soon.a Master Ninja said:I get the sense that Itagaki may soon cut off his ties with Team Ninja and Tecmo.

CrushDance said:Yeah I double checked to make sure that it wasn't just for 1 costume. I don't see a problem with the price, my only "problem" is releasing them so soon after the game hits, feels like they held some weapons/accessories back on purpose.
That's my problem with all DLC, it wouldn't be so bad if you felt like you were actually buying a complete game. Having DLC come after say 4-6 months makes the end consumer(Well me anyway) feel like it really is an expansion and not that they were cheated.
you sure?_dementia said:It's the fault of the publisher, not the developer.
The Tecmo-published Ninja Gaiden on Xbox had awesome free DLC.
MS are the ones that forced charged DLC for Gears and Halo despite Epic and Bungie's protests.
IGN: What inspired you to offer this type of download for free for Ninja Gaiden fans?
Itagaki: We are creating the Hurricane Pack for ourselves rather than for our fans. Our goal is to become No. 1 in the Action Game category as well as the Fighting Game Genre. The Hurricane Pack is an experiment based on that goal.
If we were doing it purely for our fans, this package might have been charged.
So, players who are going to play Hurricane Pack should understand the contents have become free because your interests and ours have met by chance. You should not complain that other game's downloadable contents available are being charged.
