[citation][nom]ReadMenfo[/nom]Maybe they'll pioneer micro-transactions done right. Buy any game for $10-15, 1 chapter at a time. Not only do the developers have to produce an excellent game, they have to deliver excellence in every new chapter to get their full $60 for the product, or $10-15 x # of chapters. They can release chapters faster than a full fledged game and have more time to finish the last chapters before they become available. It could be a win-win for casual gamers. It'd force better quality since if it sucks, the customer's only out $10-15 and doesn't have to bother with anymore chapters.[/citation]
3ds is 40-50$ with many discounts at 20-30 on new, thats the category they are in, but great idea.
imagine professor laytown, free, first 10 puzzles free, and than packs of puzzles or 1 at a time for a fraction of the new game, ultimately costing 10$ more than buying the full game outright.
it would be good for people to try out the games, and it would be incentive to buy games outright instead, and give devs more money in terms of 10$ more total for buying chapters, but its charged in such small amounts that it may be worth it, like over a month period of time, or even a year.
only problem is there is little incentive to ever drop the price down when games get older.
[citation][nom]mrmoo500[/nom]This is just a better reason not to buy the 3ds or the wii u, the micro transactions are the stupidest thing I've ever seen. What happened to games being finished when they were realeased? Those "micro" transactions ruin every game they are used in and I refuse to ever buy anything that has them. I will not be nickeled and dimed to death by games I already payed for. There's a reason the top grossing apps in apple's app store are the micro transaction ones.[/citation]
so you dont buy games, because most dlc is basically a more expensive micro transaction.

imagine playing battlefield, you attach the he pad to the end of a gun, and there, you are looking down the barrel to aim. you press a button on the gun, the clip releases, and you remove it and pop it back in to reload the gun. or sniping, you looking down the barrel, and moving to more accurately simulate sniping, if anyone ever played those sniping arcade games where you look in the scope exclusively to see zoomed in, those were awesome.
im HOPING that the devs take their time with fps games, because they have the chance to REALLY make them better on the console than the pc with this system.
F*** the mouse and keyboard, they are good and accurate, but so is the wii and ps3 controller, what they were missing before is something like the wiiu pad.
just imagine a game where you are standing up and moving around to aim, in 360 degrees, YES some people are lazy and wouldn't like that, but you can not honestly tell me that you have no interest in it at all if its done right.
with as much care as dice gives all its games, i SERIOUSLY DOUBT that they wont take full advantage of those features.
look at it this way, i would rather have a stick than the wasd keys, as you can control movements better, and with a second stick aiming with gyro tech helping it, and i have to imaging a camera also helping, this could be an epic experience.
im hoping for the best, so sadly they can only disappoint.
