I've been trying to get my homework done but I am writing another paper on DLC and it makes me super angry everytime I start working on it.
Did you know that Dead or Alive Ultimate came with an edition of Dead or Alive 2 that had 167 costumes included for 15 characters? (Not taking any of the Dead or Alive 1 content into consideration either).
Meanwhile Dead or Alive 5 was released with 25 characters and only had 110 costumes included with the game. In order to have all 164 costumes currently available you would have had to pre-order a collectors edition of the game from Gamestop to get the CE DLC and pre-order DLC, pre-order a second copy from walmart* to get their pre-order DLC, and then spend $30 on the DLC that has been released up to this point. (Not counting Alpha 152 in this as her costumes are just recolors of her naked body). Assuming you had gotten all these things as they were released you would have had to spend $170 total so far. On top of that, most of the costumes in DoA5 are just rehashed-recycles of costumes from the older games.
At least it's just lolcostumes and not actual playable content that was kept from you unless you paid that. Still doesn't change the fact that the whole "pre-order/buy from us and get this" is stupid.
