$15 too much for downloadable content?

I'm surprised at the price of this for a GR game. All the previous GR games have had a lot of downloadable content and normally free or I think £5 for one of the upgrades for GR 2. Hell, both Island Thunder and Summit Strike were released for only £20 and whilst the engine is the same as their respective predecessors, they're both full games.

I wouldn't bother with this (If I owned GRAW), not only because of the cheeky price but because from what I've played of GRAW it's a huge departure from the gameplay of the previous titles and I wasn't too impressed at all (Wtf is with that leaning into cover shit and the neon outlines?).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's just not traditional GR. Online, the guns with cameras are known as noob cannons coz you damn near can't be hit when you're using one and personally I find the most fun parts of GR are the sneaking around in the bushes outflanking your enemy rather than calling in airstrikes and shit. GRAW is too hectic really.

Also, you could hide behind cover perfectly well before by standing behind it and using the lean button. Having to attach yourself to cover is helluva annoying.

The contents of that bundle is what was given away free for Summit Strike pretty much. Looks like a shameless cash in to me...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Like I said before, all the other GR games has DL content released soon after they came out. The difference is we only once had to pay for it before (and that was only £5).

Most amazing jew boots

Are any of the maps now in compete darkness like Bunker Hill:Redux in Summit Strike coz all the best matches happened there. Siege games in total darkness are so tense, especially when everyone has a silenced weapon.

Of course, not necessarily $15 worth of awesome...

How ya doing, buddy?

Anyway, in my opinion, I don't give a damn if the PC has benefits or not, if it's free via PC, it should be on a console. It's like a father feeding his own kids a dinner, and giving a piece of bread to his step-child. You can't really favor the other. Of course if you have to get paid but in my opinion the only way you will make money is if you expand (which is what their doing)...when you make people pay for expanding is fine but to make one realm pay and the other is a load of crock. Expanding is teriffic because it will draw in more customers because some think "hey this game is bigger than before so maybe it's better/more fun than this game. their not expanding for no reason!" And I stand by this with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I will not buy any of that on XBL...but I have bought some XBLA though.

I imagine the thinking is that if they charged on PC, most people would just pirate it anyway. I know it's possible to run cracked software on an Xbox but it's more inaccessible to your average user. They can get away with charging on the Xbox because for most people, paying the price is better than the hassle involved chipping your machine and stuff whereas as far as I'm aware, nobody ever pays for anything on PC anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.
