Luke Cage and Jessica Jones bought Avengers Mansion?!?! They win the lottery or something?
During Civil War they just had a small apartment. Talk about moving up in the world.

Ya I absolutely agree and am glad the content is made available after the fact. Especially in the case of say a weapons pack (I believe battlefield 3 is doing this). It just drives me crazy when it’s additional content they should have included, but excluded imo specifically to draw additional revenue after the initial release. I mean 60 bucks for a game ain’t cheap. Hell between MW2, Black-ops, and World at War I spent close to if not more than $300 because of the extra maps. In this case the added maps added value for me so it was worth paying for I just don’t think every game is like that.
It’s similar to Gears 3. The game has been out for what a month and a new Horde dlc is coming out Nov 1. That couldn’t have been finalized and added to the game before release? Maybe not? I don’t really know.
My bottom line is just that I feel like game producers are getting to a point where they are leaving content out on purpose in order to sell in a dlc later. I just hope that doesn’t become the trend. [/quote]
You gotta know DLC releases are probably scheduled 12+ months in advanced for the big games like Gears or Modern Warfare. The developers and publishers want that more aggressive marketing for the DLC, so it pushes sales for the game. Releasing that first DLC pack after 30 days ensures their game stays on the front page of Xbox Live and every gaming site. It keeps their game in the public’s mind.
The consumer just has to decide how much they want to spend. Borderlands and Fallout 3 were both $60 games, and each probably had $40 in DLC releases. If you had to have the extra content right away then both games could cost $100. If you waited 6 months you get the DLC for 50% off on Xbox Live. Wait a year and you could buy the game and all of the DLC for $40.
I’m trying to remember what game it was that used the DLC market to unlock content that was already on disc. Basically folks bought a 100kb download patch that unlocked maps that were already on the disc. That is pretty low for a developer and a publisher. I think that was the most heinous abuse of the DLC market and the consumer. You can imagine a few folks were pretty pissed. I don’t think that little trick has been repeated.

^It will. Mortal Kombat no doubt saw huge financial increase from adding those downloadable characters for the game. I downloaded two…and after doing so, now realize they really weren’t THAT spectacular to warrant it…but hey, if they made 10 bucks off me, imagine what real game nerds are doing.

Extra characters are nearly pure profit. Mostly they are just re-skinned versions of existing characters. Marvel Ultimate Alliance II was really guilty of this. Guys like Juggernaught and the Hulk had the exact same powers (different names, but the effects were the same), and played the exact same way. Transformers: War For Cybertron made a couple bucks off me when they released the “Jazz & lesser Transformers” character pack for multiplayer.

So, Luke Cage bought Avengers Mansion with a dollar he borrowed from his best friend? Isn’t this the type of thing guys do during divorces to keep their wives from getting their stuff? It doesn’t seem very Avengery to buy a mansion for a $1, and then not let the Avengers crash there. Besides it’s not like there is a shortage on bed space.

LOL.
If it was my house, you can bet I would be charging extra for Hulk and Thor. I don’t care how Avengery that is.
I mean, these are the type of friends GUARANTEED to blow a hole in your house, drop the car in the pool and fuck up your kitchen.

Yeah that’s right after Cap came back and Osbourne was defeated and the world was happy the heavy hitters went to Avengers Tower led by Cap, and the rest are led by Cage, who’s doing double duty with The Thunderbolts.
So Luke is leading Avengers: Central Park, and not-Captain America is leading Avengers: Wall Street. I’m guessing the Secret Avengers are still around too. So we have three Avengers teams and they all operate out of New York?
You know, if I lived in a city that required three teams of the world’s greatest Superheroes to over see its safety I might just consider moving somewhere else.
LOL
Wish they would make a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie with Samuel L. Jackson as Fury but Hollywood is too pussy to do something like that.
Pretty much my thoughts on a lot of the DLC shenanigans of late.
As far as the skins and small piddly add-ons that don’t add or change gameplay, I don’t really care (from what I have read, the skins can’t be used in the AC story mode anyway, only in the challenge maps). But I don’t like exclusive/withheld challenge rooms and other stuff that adds actual gameplay out of the gate.
As far as the DLC right on the disc - I thought I had heard that was LA Noire (which made me kinda pissed since I thought RockStar was one of the few companies who do DLC right).
Sexy.

A SHIELD movie would suck three different sizes and shapes of kangaroo dick. It’s a secret agency. See behind the curtain? Not so secret. All the little “secret agency” shenanigans in every Marvel movie? No longer funny.
And Nick “Bad Motherfucker” Fury, Agent of SHIELD is shooting a rocket launcher at what is probably a Skrull in the Avengers trailer.
No one gives a shit what he does when he’s not wrangling super-heroes - it’s boring and it would suck.
just finished RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Loved the game, hated the ending. Make sure you do the last “I know you” stranger mission to get the final ending.
Yup i did.
You mean that if i didn’t i wouldn’t be able to play as Jack?
I did enjoy the ending it fits with the game theme that you can’t run from your past and that those were dog days.

Come on man don’t post spoilers without some kind of warning.
I was gonna wait to play Arkham City on PC. I’ll probably go ahead and flash to LT2.0 and play it tomorrow.
The Beyond suit looks sick.
