I think this game should be re-titled "Kingdom Hearts Ends WIth You" seeing as how the entire cast seemed to make it into that trailer alone. They clearly must own a significant part of the games storyline.

@ClarkyAC

I don't think you have to worry about that from Bioware. Dragon Age 2, for example, is a game that was technically a sequel but had almost nothing to do with the original. No returning characters, different city, hell you barely even fought the Darkspawn.

And the mass effect universe is gigantic in comparison to DA.

@Red Runner

kids dont have money. they do have left over games tho. They bring them in, trade them towards the DLC, the DLC code is then emailed to them the day of the release.

Its just another way for the consumer to get the content. Nothing wrong with it.

@Noksukow

you can go to gamestop and buy the DLC package for 15. (tax is charged, so its 15.89) A code is printed on the receipt that you can type in at redeem code and then you have the dlc in your system.

Why buy it at gamestop? you save 5 dollars if you buy the DLC specifically instead of just buying the $20 1600 pt card. Its kind of Microsofts fault because when the guy at the register says "do you need the extra 400 pts?" hes got a point.

Also, most kids, teenagers, and even a decent amount of college students, dont have credit cards. So they either have to buy the DLC or buy a pt card.

@False

the only reference to Batman you know is The Dark Knight isn't it?

@C1

won't happen. They wouldn't be able to sell the DLC characters online anymore if they released them on a retail disc.

I can't be the only person who can't stand her...can i?

@jrr

ok so in that scenario, everyone has to spend $60 on every game they buy. Which leads to less games being bought because they can't trade their games in anywhere and most people can't afford 60 dollar hits every time they want a new game. I recently just traded in two games and bought NCAA for 10 bucks. If i had to have spent $60 on it, i wouldn't have bought it. EA would have never gotten me to buy a copy. Thus, gamestops trade in service allowed me to buy a new game. i may be 'hurting' the publishers by trading in my games but thats the only way I (and im guessing many others like me) can afford to get a game I want when it comes out.

@Hawaii Jeff
ding ding. Look no f'n further than Sniper Ghost Warrior! The game isn't great but it's selling because it's only $40. Most people see that and think "Hey, I'm sure it's decent enough for $40".

For all the hoopla about developers/publishers hating the used game market, you certainly dont see their prices very often.

@onan

you've never bought a new game knowing you could trade it in for 20 dollars a week or two later at GameStop? Thus cutting the price of said game by a third? If you haven't, you're either very wealthy or you just never realized that's how it works.

Gamestop, while they give nothing to developers, they do generally provide a service to customers. Without gamestops trade in offers, less games would be purchased all together. That's not a false statement. Many people trade in their old games to buy new ones and that leads to more sales for NEW copies of new releases. Get rid of gamestop, and less games will be sold.

just my two cents though.
