What do you think of pay to win DLC in Super Robot Wars?
That is soooooooooooooooo bad. I hate it when companies milk us for more money by offering us thing that are supposed to be included in the game. Now I really want this game hacked.
“increased chance of item drops”
Wait, does that mean that item drops will be randomized?
The only one of these I would be truly interested in is the first one, if only because games that allow 15 upgrade bars tend to get insane – allowing TWENTY is going to allow for a pretty high power level. The rest seems obvious to me, but nothing I’d care for.
Yuck. Talk about shit we don’t need.
No Japan! It’s too late for us, but you can save yourself! DON’T COME TO THE DARK SIDE!!
