I remember, and I was right 🙁
No demographic has lower standards than gamers.
Cuz modern gaming is nothing more than an interactive drug. I'd wager most people do not research games they buy to any great extent. Early access, triple A devs, it doesn't matter. An addict always needs another dose. When new games come out in a trash buggy mess they don't care. They're so desperate for the next big hit they'll buy almost anything.
>try to convince people its going to be a consistent business practice since gaming was a fresh, expanding market and companies are naturally greedy
>they laugh it off
I'm sure there are earlier examples of the industry going wrong than horse armor. Like Japs releasing a game in chapters on PS2 (.hack comes to mind).
This is fine if each chapter can be considered stand alone in terms of length.
.hack games are very shallow game play wise, it was literally just stretching a dungeon crawler across 3/4 full priced releases for the sake of typical Japanese style greed. It wasn't as successful in the western market but they tested the waters and I think the IP gets shafted to this day due to salty nip corporate suits holding that grudge to this day.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is praised by everyone despite being the one of the first games to ship incomplete and then sell you the ending dlc.
Yeah, I remember at the time I thought this was shitty but I wasn't surprised because I'm sure other companies had done stuff like this too. Can't actually think of any examples though.
Closest I can recall is the predatory bullshit nintendo used to pull off with incremental hardware additions and peripherals. Never understood why people let them get away with it.
society is collapsing
It didn't affect future Elder Scrolls games lol
>paid mods enter the chat
Paid mods were defeated. No one buys them and no one ever will.
Oblivion had like a dozen micro DLC almost as shit as the horse armor
>paid dlc
>adds literally nothing significant other than overpowered items and a few lines of dialogue
why doesn't anyone complain about this?
>paid dlc
It was a free download.
And years later they still mock us.
Filters poorgays since 2006
everyone thought horse armor was dumb back then. i don't remember anyone defending it but i'm sure some did since well, you know, the current state of video games.
Oblivion was already lambasted for numerous issues 17 years ago at this point it was just icing on the cake.
They thought it was dumb, but also said the whole thing was harmless, and didn't mean anything. In the following years several developers directly said they paid attention to how well Horse Armor did (c'mon, it's just a buck or two) and it influenced paid content going forward.
But how would anyone other than bethesda or maybe MS and Sony who own the DLC stores, would know how horse armor performed? The outcry was huge and much larger than whoever defended it, and skyrim didnt even repeat such a small dlc
That's how it always goes. Everybody says they won't buy it, but then they do.
>be a dirty paypig
>show it off to everyone
>feel proud about it
they are like trannies
That's gold farming
The celestial Steed could only be obtained with real money, not gold.
something else that shouldn't be in the game
If you reward a behavior you get more of it, it's that simple.
just know the people that defend this have the right to vote
Just don't buy it.
How THE FRICK do you have a picture of my uncle?
If you don't buy it you don't get the updates necessary to play the game.
I was just on my way to the beach.
Do people really think that if Horse Armor hadn't sold well, DLC as a whole wouldn't have taken off eventually anyway?
Because that is naive bordering on moronic.
no it's just easy to consider this as the tipping point.
>C'mon, do people think if the Auction House and accompanying loot system for Diablo 3 is ill received it will be removed and modified, respectively? Because that is naive bordering on moronic.
>C'mon, do you really think if enough of a stink about loot boxes is made that crackdowns will start happening and then suddenly they'll vanish like a fart in the wind? Because that is naive bordering on moronic.
Ah yes you got me there, those 2 examples definitely disprove the other literal hundreds of cases in which absolutely nothing happened.
Also loot boxes still exist, no idea why you even bring them up.
some guy made horse vegana mod for the horse armor DLC
LOL, YOU GUYS THINK IT STARTED WITH THAT HORSE SKIN?
Everyone freaks out about horse armor, but this fricking game was a sign of things to come. Gachapon, timed outfits and pets, subscription shit, enhancing can blow up your gear, and a bunch of other crap. I still played it everyday when I was younger though
horse armor feels minor compared to the bullshit we have now
Armor sucks btw
Design is terrible
Most people alive on this board have no idea what it was like when this released.
I purchased it, thinking the quests would be a lot more than it was and that knights quest or whatever would be good as oblivion was my favorite game at the time with like 300 hours already. I submit I am part of the problem, but at least I still have an awesome poster because of it.
they could've at least made it not look like shit
It still feels like yesterday when that came out. People talk about the outrage, but there really wasn't that much. From what I remember it was mostly meh and not the gamergate levels of pissed.
Because the internet was in its teenage years, there were no smartphones, social media was just a blip on people's radar the homosexuals who plague it now wouldn't be caught dead playing vidya we liked or going on forums of imageboards of all things. Frick I would watch the world get bathed in nuclear hellfire just to go back to 2006 and have it stay there.
I thought nothing of it at the time except my brother and I thought it was so stupid
I miss when DLCs were just a few dollars
I opposed horse armor. Then a few days ago I bought oblivion deluxe for all dlcs on sale, and it came with horse armor. I've failed.
schizo thread
>it's just a skin chud, don't buy it if you don't like it
Everyone hated horse armor to the point that it was a meme. There was no singular point where it all went wrong, just a slow crawl to where we are today. Dumbass.
>Everyone hated horse armor
No, a very vocal minority hated horse armor and the other little dlcs Oblivion had but they all sold insanely well. Horse Armor and the other little dlcs Oblivion had proved to other developers that the people outraged by it literally don't matter and hordes of people will buy that shit even if its like 3 dollars for a dagger.
Post Todds
We laughed at horse armor thinking it was the worst it could get, then horse armor came back to laughed at us.
>"You're blowing this out of proportion dude lmao it's free labour, it won't affect future generations."
Then what would've been the solution? Go back to 2006 and prevent the cancer known as DLC from killing video games.
what did you expect me to do? and dont tell me vote with your wallet because that shit dont work
>spending money on neighers
I don't play PC, so what's up with the horse armor
