Since uploading videos takes forever I wanted to do a blog in response to Muzz from L1 Games video about Batman Arkahm City and the response that it got. You can find the video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAd8ElGvobg&feature=feedu.
As someone who buys games more used then new, I find the practice of online passes to be in poor taste. People generaly buy games used because they can't afford the game or just don't want to pay full retail price because they think it's to steep. I have to agree that 60 bucks for a game is more then I'm willing to spend and then have to have an online pass to play as a charcter in the game.
There are people who say it's worth having the online pass and buy the game regardless. To those people I say, that is your choice but good luck getting rid of the game. Who wants to buy a game where you have to pay more money after buying to use certian functions.
In this case you get to play as Catwoman,but you need an online connection. In the case of Gamestop you can get a bonus map if you pre-order. Why should I have to go to a certian store to get a map or even have an online connection to play as a charcter? In the words of Penn and Teller it's "Bull shit".
I have crapy internet at times so contecting to the net isn't always fun. Look, just give me a game where I don't need dlc, a connection, or one set place to buy from. Give me my frickin game complete for a change. It's bad enough where if I want content for some of my psp games I can download the dlc for free, but can't get it on the game? What the hell?????
Now the video got a response from a guy on youtube named SamuelTehGTA(my copy and paste did that). Who calls Muzz a liar for not mentioning how people can use their profile on someone esle's xbox to use the bonus content. No one is perfect, and that's not something alot of people know about or think of.
The message Muzz gives is that that we shouldn't have to have a pass to play content that is already there. The guy throughout the entire comments doesn't get it. Calling someone a liar and a fear monger is nothing more then a childish act when someone forgets something. Big whoop, it happens. I'm sure Samuel the so called freelance journalist hasn't screwed up, oh wait he can't even spell gamer or journalist on his youtube profile. The guy forgets that if he is playing on a friends console he can't play on his, and he thinks he is smart?
If I didn't believe or share the same ideas as Muzz I wouldn't be watching his videos or writing this. I do agree with him and I think he speaks for people that won't speak for themselves. The gaming community needs to make the companies realize that these practices are wrong and until people take more action it will hapen more and more.
I'm not trying to tell anyone on how to think or feel. But people need to think about their actions and how this is going to hurt other people. We have to ask how much longer until they start charging more and more on these passes. How much longer until the used game market is killed and people have to buy new. If that happens, the games industry could crash. I've seen people take in stacks of games just to get one or two new titles. If people can't do this, then new games can't be bought. How much longer until GameFly goes under? Just think about it.
Feel free to comment.
