Yeah but no one likes you, and they are not talking about the price, it’s the principle. And yes some of this people really do hate EA, wanna know some reasons why, check out this page.

It’s not the cost, it’s the principle you ass.

Presumably you’re a gamer? If you just let stuff like this slide then it will eventually end up effecting games you enjoy aswell.

You don’t have to buy it dumbasses you use points that you already have from playing games all day and night because you don’t have jobs.

all of that stuff can be unlocked in the game (if you read the description at the on the right in marketplace it says “can be unlocked in game)

its just a shortcut for people that don’t want to have to wait and unlock the stuff the normal way. You might want to read that next time

The content is optional too buy, as you can read on the majornelson website apart from the collectors edition pack. All the other content is unlockable while playing the came in carreer mode. So you get what’s on the disk. But if you wan’t to take a “shortcut” you can buy the unlockables for a amount of money and you can play directly with it.

Well, I’d have to say as much as I like the NFS series, I’m not going to buy this one…

The controls are great, I played most NFS Most Wanted so much, Carbon felt second nature. I’d give NFS Carbon a solid 9 out of 10.

someone should add to the petition, they need to finish a game before they sell it for $60. if anyone has played battlefield for xbox and xbox 360, they would know that they did not finish many of the multiplayer maps in the 360 version.

Comparing to this Lumines looks like a good deal New era of gaming - buy the game and after that buy it again to unlock it. Are those the only two games where unlocks cost the same as what they call a “full” game?

Nobody buy any of this shit, and nobody even buy any EA games. I’m definately fucking not.

you are the bigger moron detroit. The collectors edition upgrade for 800 points is in the actual disk and not unlockable without paying the 800 points- you can not unlock this in game!!

Well I don’t consent to them locking stuff out that’s already on my disc only to sell them to me later for additional money.

They make us pay for something that’s already (locked) on the disc…. that’s wrong in so many ways.

sorry did i strike a nerve my point is that you as a comsumer dont have purchase this stuff just play the game and unlock it maybe i got carried away with the american comment but what about other devs doing it?i dont hear any complaints about other devs doing it

I doubt having all the upgrades will make the game easier; in fact it might make it harder. The cpu cars always seem to match your car performance wise, and are usually pretty damn cheap. Even so I still won’t be buying any of the marketplace crap for this game.

Your fantastic english aside… the “other” companies you reference are not offering a “pay to beat the game” program. Who in their right mind would pay $110 NOT to play a game. That’s just retarded. But EA is setting a precedent that we wish to nip in the bud. Oh, and EA is no longer just an American company; it’s an international conglomeration. Let’s leave the nationalism out of this.

you all are pussies and morons if you read carefully it says you can purchase these upgrades if you dont want to unlock it in the game its there for purchase or if you like you can advance in the game and unlock it for free you know what im tired of is people like you complaining about ea doing this ea doing that what about the “other”companies doing this you fail to mention them why is this cuz ea is an american company?

Why do you all get so upset about this ? The game is extremely SHITTY aka “Need for Frames per Second: Blurr Some more instead”

I rented it this morning and already returned it, told my friend at the rental store to check it out with me because it’s way too shitty to even charge customers …. guess what he did … he returned 10 copies of the game to their distributor and refunded me

Seriously, the demo makes the game look GOOD because there is no free roam in the demo. Even in free roam the controls suck bad, the blurr is unbearable and the framerate drops are just ridiculous. I’ve rarely ever seen such pos game. It makes Import Tuner Challenge shine like a bright sun. I really wonder how much EA paid all those “reviewers” who rate it at like 8.2 - 8.5 … there must be some serious cash flow somewhere because honestly … even a 4.0 would be way too generous for this pos. Most wanted was great, this is just junk.

And seeing EA offering DLC for nearly 4k M$ points already just makes me laugh out loud.

M$ needs to put QA back in place.

EDIT: 3940 MSP = $49.25 USD.

By: DaffyDuck

DaffyDuck — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:48:46 +0000

$60+50 for a game? What I like the most is that performance upgrades are not included into the regular game, so you will be owned online by those who bought upgrades. EA rocks, I wish I worked for them, probably would be driving Ferrari by now

WhetWurm — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:48:29 +0000

Holy Fucking Shit. Forgive my outburst… but the DLC for this game costs the same as the FULL retail Xbox1 version!!! WTF is going on with EA? Are the trying to find out just how goddamn dumb EA fans are?!? Please someone tell me that this is a repeat “pay to beat the game” phenomenon like Tiger Woods. Please. I swear to god if they fuck with Burnout 5 like this, I’ll file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau…

Just remember, anything in the future will get this treatment, even Burnout.

The days of fair play in the console arena are gone. So my money must follow? I don’t think so. I will just play games from companies that DO NOT use these methods on XBL.

And good lord, is SCDA really hard…

I didn’t notice in that list a ‘Fix the Framerate’ DLC which would of been nice or even maybe a ‘Decent control of Cars’ DLC because belive me this plays SOOOOO much better on my PC it’s like it is two different games. I personally will avoid all EA games with shit like this happening if possible. Trouble is they have the monopoly and so much cash they just buy company’s for fun like Criterion just so they can get good games like Burnout. Damn sad really.

MS is just as guilty as EA. They allow this shit to happen and they can deny EA what they release within a split second.

Yeah I really can’t believe that the collectors edition upgrade I purchased is already on the disc that I paid for. I was alright with the EA golf upgrades because it’s basically a cheat - but to pay 800points for extra levels and 10 extra cars that are already hidden in the disc is a piss take. THAT really should be my last EA game for sure, but I doubt it will be. I should just NOT buy marketplace upgrades its a rip off…
