Just WOW!
Good one guys you made my day To be fair, they detailed the Season Pass for Xbox One and 360, which does release next month. I did um and aah about bringing this article across, but figured that the Season Pass details were unlikely to change, even with a year still to go. Even if there does end up being changes to the season pass, the game modes and soundtrack details will definitely be the same.Oh hey, please don't think i was directing any of my post at you or any of the news team, it was towards Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix not any of the news team what so ever
I am sure some people will be glad you did post it but i did find it funny just the way i saw it in my inbox then opened it up to have the words "Season Pass" in the message that's all lolOh I didn't take any offence at all. I just thought that I'd try to defend Square Enix a little I like Square, i mean it really is more so the console company at fault when this happens whether it's Sony or Micro$oft because they initiate the situation by offering them money to do it and i don't blame a gaming studio for saying yes if it is a decent amount of money that can go towards creating more games. I don't really condone both SONY or Micro$oft using these type of tactics tbh.
I just find it hard to believe that this actually works, i just personally would never make my console buying decision on the bases of a game that is a timed exclusive but people must do so or it would never happen in the first place.
I mean we have so much really bad business practice in the gaming industry these days with the likes of pre-order bonuses where several different shops all have their own special bonus and there for if you wish to have the full content of that game you would need to buy the game from every single shop just to have all the bonuses. It's a horrible practice. Then we have things like SEGA who don't complete the games story on the main part of the game and you need to buy the DLC to get the proper ending which happened in Asura's Wrath and Aliens Colonial Marines and they are the only games that i personally know of, there could be more but i just have not heard about it. Unfortunately we get people who actually will write pages and pages defending this kind of activity within gaming. There was a guy on TA, i forget his name but man every anti consumer decision ever made by gaming publishers he was all for it, i don't know if he was trolling or just truly was happy to see the gaming industry turn in to the mess it is in today because he backed all the crap that has ended us up with the way thing are nowadays.
Would you make a console purchasing decision on the bases of a game coming to it first knowing that another console that you may actually prefer in the long run will have it a year later with all the bugs fixed, most of the DLC laid out so you know what you would get with a season pass if you actually buy in to them but just go ahead and buy it on the console you prefer less overall just because a game is coming to it a year early? This is a serious question to anyone who wishes to answer, it's open to reasoning as to why you would do this also.
My answer is quite blatantly an obvious god damn no and why? Because i love the fact that when it comes to us a year later it will be in a much better state. Imagine i was asking the same question a year ago and the game in question was Destiny Just look at what happened there, what's to say the same could not happen again with Tomb Raider? Year 1 Destiny was without a doubt full on evidence that the earlier you buy a game the more an asset as a beta tester you are to a gaming company and you are paying them to test their game for them.
