Please don't buy the Separate Ways DLC

[Shocker]

In the original game it was a free unlockable, and don't even try to damage control with the weak excuse that it wasn't in the Game Cube version. Every other version had it for free, plus Assignment Ada. So please do the industry and yourself a favor and boycott it if it's paid content.

Let's also not forget that Capcom unlike some other companies these days still provide their games to 3rd party sites to be sold at 15-20% off AT LAUNCH.

Too be fair, that profit margin is trying to shave off the 30% from the initial steam split. I doubt Capcom is taking a loss there. The 3rd party keyselling sites take much much less than 30% because they have virtually very little upkeep costs since they're just a steam key selling site.

But yeah, everything you said is pretty much spot on. Capcom is already selling RE4R for 10$ less than most of the competition, and unlike some other competitors, they didn't do the "pay x extra dollars for 2-5 days of early access" either. And infliation compared to 2005 is about 1.57x. So games back then really costed 90$ by today's standards.

Yeah it's fair to point out why companies accept those lower than steam prices on 3rd party sties. Of course they aren't selling keys through 3rd party key sites out of goodness of their hearts, but the consumer benefits from it anyway so I'm counting it as a plus.

I paid 49.71€ for RE4 1 day before launch and 9.99€ for Separate ways today. So for the full game play experience I've paid 59.70€

Boy am I getting "scammed" here.

The dlc is fun....the games industry will survive and you'll continue to play games that interest you. All will be fine.

Ok, but it wasn't in the Gamecube version. It was literally included in the PS2 version to help sell that port.

Also, Assignment Ada was a fun little mini-game, but ultimately non-canon, whereas Separate Ways is very much a part of the (canon) story of the main game.

I'm not going to tell anyone to buy or not to buy, but I do think it's important to make an informed decision, either way.

These are the versions where Separate Ways is a free unlockable in the original game.

PlayStation 2
Windows
Wii
PlayStation 3
Xbox 360
PlayStation 4
Xbox One
Nintendo Switch

and you bought them all as well, no difference now lol

How many more posts/topics must we get with people not understanding that the original version of RE4 was the Gamecube release and not the Playstation 2??

[UnsichtbareHand]

Just coming in to tell you that I bought it and that I am glad that I did it, I do hope you write a song to whine about it like you were Taylor Swift.

This is what happens when people don't have sufficient brain cells.

That's like saying the Steam Version of the game isn't the original since the game released on Playstation a few hours sooner.

The PS2 and Gamecube are literally the same generation of console.

[Sm Izumi]

Wondering if you can have a pirate version of the DLC in the base game, cause i don't want to pay for this crap.

[I am Groot]

TBH RE4 Remake was the weakest of the bunch IMHO. THe changes they made did not feel right and this crap with Ada being paid DLC is BS. I will wait for now on when it comes to most releases.

Hey, I just came back to tell you that I bought the DLC for me and my brother, so you can cry all you want.

[steba]

Oh no, I went and bought it before reading that I shouldn't. Oh well, I guess I'll just have fun playing it.
