First of all Deac… There is no reason to believe what Crapcom says. Of course they will say whatever sounds good to get themselves out of the fire. Also, just about every game comes out with SP, & Multiplayer these days… So just because this is the first Resident Evil that is getting this multiplayer mode, Crapcom thinks charging for it is justified?

You need to know that what Crapcom is doing is sending us a message (Horse Armor)… If it works out for them by making extra cash, things like this will keep happening in this gaming industry, & developers will keep holding back content on purpose to make more money off of us with NO justification. It will also segregate the HAVES, & the HAVE NOTS.

That’s why we all should HATE this Deac.

I agree with reaperhybrid on this one. So close to release, it’s not like they really had spent so much more time after the release to develop it. It surely wasn’t done all in the time that it took from release to now. I’m sure they could’ve crammed it in if they really wanted to. Oh well, I don’t ahve RE5, just thought I’d give my thoughts. It really makes me mad whenever developers try to nickel and dime the consumers.

I don’t care what spin the VP is putting on this situation, the content should have been included on the disc if it was being developed at the same time.
Many people will never get to experience this game mode. I have rented the game and I am not going to buy DLC for a game that I have rented. If this game mode was included in the game, I would have considered buying this game because it would have had considerably more replay value.
I don’t believe that I am alone in my opinion, Capcom. You are shooting yourself in the foot, Capcom, by upsetting your existing customers and by losing sales to customers like me.

I agree with Hazy, I can see the arguments for both sides.

By the way, I finished the Lost and Damned, there’s a lot in that expansion and it was a lot of fun.

I think Capcom will win in the end because RE5 is turning out to be an awesome game, and I think players will come around.

I can see both sides here. Capcom needs to release it while the game is hot so it it will sell well. On the other hand, releasing DLC so close to launch makes gamers feel ripped off. Developers will never be able to get it right unless it is a full expansion ala The Lost and Damned.

If they release maps or weapons close to launch, pitchforks are already in hand. How can they win?
