Ok.....So nobody thinks it's a ridiculous idea to release on the same day as Gears 3? I'm sorry, but this company has the worst marketing team ever. I guess I am also the only one that thinks the extra content is also a bit too late to bother with? Most people I see on these forums are die-hard fans.....and I would assume that most die-hard fans have already finished everything (Except LR) and really have no need for the Gunrunners, and especially the pre-order stuff. I am not here to start something just for the sake of raining on anyone's parade but seriously, I just don't understand the 'strategy' of this marketing team. "Hmm...lets not release during a dry season when everyone is waiting for something new and will surely buy this....let's release on the same day as a potential GOTY winner!" .....Genius.
Anyone who lurks here with the sole purpose of defending everything the company does can feel free to flame me for having the nerve to question this move. All I can say now is that I would have definitely bought all of the extra content if it came out months ago when it was still viable (at least to most people I know that beat the core game already) and would have bought LR on release like every other DLC. But now, I am definitely not bothering with the extras and am surely not going to be playing this when Gears releases. By the time I think about this again, due to the holidays, it will probably be on sale......Not sure how that is a win for Bethesda. Does anyone agree? I am only speaking for everyone I have spoken to on my Friends list and myself so who knows....maybe we are just radicals.
I've said on the forums tht is the kind of incompetence that people get fired for.
but I disagree. I still have two more playthroughs to go. One for house and one for NCR (shudders) so these new weapons are going to make my energy weapon long range character happy.
What I wish they would do is remove the stupid, remove bad rep from faction thing until I agree to work with them. I don't get the ciesers blessing mission anymore because I got in good with the NCR even though I will never work with them in this play through.
Anyone wonder if there will be a bundle of those two extra packs or if they are separate?
Also as to the 27 brand spanking new Weapons, How many of them are actually good and how many are just fodder?
