replyHow many god-damn DLC packs will it have if you already have 5 before the game is even shipped? Fuck this pre-order bullshit and fuck paid DLC.

I couldn't agree more. If you're going to be a jerk and make launch day DLC, at least don't be a dick and make it so not everyone can get it.

It's quite ridiculous!

Agreed with the general sentiments here actually. Whats with the different preorder bonuses and DLC packs BS? Why not give gamers all of those? At least sell the extra as part of a bonus package DLC or something. Collector's edition I can still understand, but this preorder crap and nickel and diming really needs to stop. Damn it.

calm down Clarice, it's just some fucking cars and suits for the main character, they're basically just visual shit. and if you want to complain about pre-order DLC, go bitch to retailers since they're the reason for it. they will more or less refuse to sell a game for pre-order these days unless it's got some kind of digital pack-in that's exclusive to their company.
