Like I said if it were an extra costume rather then 6 hours of new gameplay. Eidos will have damaged their TRU campaign, people feel strongly about things esp none CD & Eidos TR fans! Some even think the DLC are bits cut from the game to have as add ons later just to make more money.

Some people I know have already canceled their pre-order of TRU! Anyone who thinks this wouldn't upset a lot of people is just deluded!

So by 10 fans boycotting, that will change Eido$'$ view on their business schemes? I dont think so.

Id like to think more people will, but they wont.

How is Eidos being silly, they are in the business of publishing games to make money, Microsoft wanted to pay more for extra content so a couple of extra levels were done. They might not have even be done by Crystal Dynamics considering how busy they are just finishing of the main game for Xbox360 and the PS3 and they do have other projects to work on. Eidos Montreal or Nixxes could be doing the extra levels. Having expansion packs is not going to make any difference to Underworld on other platforms, or to the next game which will be a new adventure as all the other games have been. l am sure if Sony was willing to pay for some extra content for the PS3 version Eidos would be just as willing to oblige. l have no idea how PC fans are going to get any thing extra, but am still hopeful.

Aussie, I wish you wouldnt defend them so much. Plain and simple, its not fair on other people. Yeah it provides money, but Im sure this big $3 Mill advertising thing will get enough sales to get Eido$ back into the green with TRU, they didnt really need to go and do this.

There's always going to be pro's and cons of owning either a PS3 or 360, and most people are aware of this when buying their preferred console. The PS3 gets exclusives and so does the 360. I know that a lot of TR fans want the DLC for other platforms too, but it's just something that you have to deal with. I know that this doesn't make it any easier, but there's a quite few full games that I'd like to play but I can't because they're PS3 exclusives. The DLC is only two levels, and while it says over six hours of new gameplay it'll probably be closer to two or three.

What's DLC? Darn Lara Croft?

Cancel or not cancel your pre-order is your right. I'll be just enjoying the game and seeking its good and bad contents.

Tomb of Legends · 07-10-08, 09:34

Ugh, its not 2 levels...its 2 PACKS.

And this is a slap in the face of every PC user. You put a lot of money into a system which is far superior to Xbox 360 and PS3 and might get a game which won't utilize it's full power. Then there's Microsoft's 'Games for Windows' campaign - why wouldn't they support their own campaign by making that DLC exclusive to Xbox? And of course as a PC gamer you have to deal with things like online activasion nowadays, which is yet another sad story. It should be understandable from this point of view, why many potential customers got angry now.

I haven't preordered the game yet and I don't know if I'd do it now honestly...
