Dead Space 1 Pc Dlc Download For Pc
PC gamers may be able to gain access to console-exclusive suits and weapons DLC after all, thanks to an edited save file that purports to unlock the items that were already in the game.Back in January, EA revealed three suit-and-weapons for Dead Space 2, the Supernova Pack, Hazard Pack and Martial Law Pack, offering unique bonuses to players for 400 Microsoft Points or $5 each. Sadly, much like the, they were also announced as console exclusives. But are they?Not according to people in an ongoing discussion in the Steam forums, where a link to an edited save game that apparently unlocks all the suits in the game, including those available via the DLC packs, is now making the rounds. The installation process is very simple and while situations like this are always 'buyer beware,' several Steam users have confirmed that the save does in fact work.The conversation originally began on EA's own Dead Space forums but migrated to Steam after EA deleted the thread, a move that undeniably contributes to the feeling that this is the real deal. And since the save file is tiny - 3.4K in size - it's obvious that it doesn't contain the DLC data but merely unlocks it, meaning that the code was present in the game all along. This naturally leads to the question of why made the DLC bundles console only, since it clearly didn't take an act of rocket surgery to open them up on the PC. It's possible that the publisher does plan to 'release' it for the PC at some point in the future, but even if so, why delay it at all?We've reached out to EA for more information and will let you know what they have to say, if anything.
In the meantime, you can find out more about the PC DLC situation and, if you're feeling brave, snag a copy of the edited save file at. Bear in mind that this does not constitute any kind of endorsement of the save; I haven't tried it, I can't verify its safety and if you end up nuking your entire system into oblivion, it's all on you.via. Same happend with dragon age, Fallout new vegas, etc. Pc users found ways to get the 'on the disc' dlc on your pc.
Even if it was from preordering from multiple retailers or in this case console exclusive (but on the disk).Thanks for the Hint, thought i had to put up with that fad:)I hate it when people lock away content on the disk even if alot of the cheats and dlc you can buy ruin the balance.Ill edit with a confirmation if it wotks or not.Edit: Yes it works you use the safegame as a new game+ save.Funny how companies go out of they're way to make the pc expirience worse by locking content away so that the console version seems to have 'exclusive features'. See this is why DLC can go die in a fire.I have not yet seen any sort of DLC that would be worth my money at all and then this crap where the files are on the disk but locked away happens and is apparently all the latest rage now.What ever happened to the idea of making DLC actual expansions?You know, like expansions from a time before it was suddenly download only.Instead what we get is 2 or 3 items or maps and to add insult to injury, the files are on the disk you bought already.Whoop dee fucking doo. I'm a little more concerned about how this DLC was obviously easy to put into the PC version, to the point where it literally is in the PC version just locked away, but EA arbitrarily didn't want to give it to us. Either they are waiting to release it to us in time, and just not telling the truth about the exclusive, or they are purposefully going out of there way to discourage PC players. Who last time I checked, may be a smaller percent of the market, but their money is still pretty green. On the upside, at least, it doesn't exactly strike me as must-have DLC.
Well if the extra content is meant to cost $5 extra then.theyre stealing it right? Well if the extra content is meant to cost $5 extra then.theyre stealing it right? Why is this paid-for-dlc, something we should have to buy if it's already been included?Are the people who use this savefile now pirates?would you consider somebody accessing content that is in the game they purchased a pirate?
I certainly wouldn't.Well if the extra content is meant to cost $5 extra then.theyre stealing it right? Unless EA shouldnt have been selling it in the first place.In my eyes, if it's included in the original game, ESPECIALLY a 60 dollar game, then they have no business charging more for it. Of course, that's a fine line of what you consider just on the publisher/player ends of the spectrum.
I tried it and to my disapointment, it worked like a charm,Why would EA lock away that content, if it was a compatibility or logistical problem i could just wave it off. But including it not only on the disk of the consoles but ALSO on the Disk/EADownload/SteamDownload of the PC version just blows my mind.Also i dont really get why they would try to sell the sh.t in the first place,It is just a few suits and weapons with different colours textures and maybe a 5-15% boost to certain stats here and there.They should just unlock it for the PC version anyways it just doesnt make sense.
I'm just glad I didn't finish Hardcore for that sweet handgun before I found out that it is bugged on PC and will not unlock. Later I learned about similar issue with Elite suits and I was very upset.' What did you expect? This is EA' - This is what most of my friends said after I told them. Sad, but they are right.And we are still waiting for a patch!Issues like this with a big budget Visceral/EA had for Dead Space 2 are inexcusable.Take Amnesia: Dark Descent game for example, tiny, less experienced team and tiny budget.
Yet they made the game with amazing atmosphere and great sound quality, maybe not as visually detailed but that's a minor issue for a game.The game costs about six times less than Dead Space 2 but provides just as much thrills if not more, virtually bug free and when you get it you know you are getting the whole deal without any 'exclusive' DLC bullshit. Bajo el estigma del quinto sol pdf creator pdf. They even put commentaries in and hidden bonus content with that.That's a kick in the gut no less.
Why is this paid-for-dlc, something we should have to buy if it's already been included?Are the people who use this savefile now pirates?would you consider somebody accessing content that is in the game they purchased a pirate? I certainly wouldn't.What makes this even more entertaining is that you can't actually BUY the stuff on the PC, period. The only way to get it is through dubiously legal means.
To be honest, if EA doesn't start giving free DLC to PC users to make up for all the terrible glitches our version has (that they are taking way too long to patch), I'm gonna be royally pissed off in the first place.I tried it and to my disapointment, it worked like a charm,Why would EA lock away that content, if it was a compatibility or logistical problem i could just wave it off. But including it not only on the disk of the consoles but ALSO on the Disk/EADownload/SteamDownload of the PC version just blows my mind.Also i dont really get why they would try to sell the sh.t in the first place,It is just a few suits and weapons with different colours textures and maybe a 5-15% boost to certain stats here and there.They should just unlock it for the PC version anyways it just doesnt make sense.I'd be happy with just a patch. They haven't even done that, let alone either free DLC to make up for the crap, or even promises of paid DLC support. EA is really dropping the ball on this one.
Well if the extra content is meant to cost $5 extra then.theyre stealing it right? Why is this paid-for-dlc, something we should have to buy if it's already been included?Are the people who use this savefile now pirates?In the most technical way, the answer is yes. Given that a software license gives one the right to use software in a very specific way, accessing content (even if it was already there) that could have later been sold could be called piracy.But then, a more reasonable take on the subject is to say that it is not piracy because the data was already there. Given that there was no offer to sell valid access to the content it could not be classified as piracy. A person who actually unlocked the content could easily have been in violation of their license agreement (they generally include stern warnings against reverse engineering or modifying the product in any way shape or form) but people who simply use the save are well into the gray area if not in the clear.So, my answer is 'technically yes but reasonably no'.
Sadly, there is always someone/some company that is going to perverse the ingenuity of DLCAs I remember it, the idea of DLC was the created to give the game more content to make the game appealing even after the initial 90-day release. I'm not sure what study I read, but after 60 days, it was noticed that the initial appeal of a new game wore off. By 90 days, these games were rarely played as the gamer had moved on to the next new appealing game.
Since expansions were an enormous undertaking that usually saw itself released 9-12 months after the game, publishers needed something to hold the gamers interest until then.something more, but less than an expansion. That's where DLC was invented.It was a win-win,-For the developers-who weren't taxed on resources that they could give some thought into little things like armor/weapons/missions while still being able to concentrate on the upcoming expansion-For the publishers-who could still make money off these small extras while still keeping the gamer's interest for the expansion-For the gamer- (there maybe some argument here) who could see the game as replayable with new features that didn't break the wallet.Keep in mind DLC was originated to be sold as an afterthought. Though some features were originated during the development of the game, they couldn't be finalized because of budget constraints, or development deadline.My problem with EA is that they perverse this ideal of DLC by pressuring developers to have a scheduled release of DLC content to the point of even if content is finished and ready to be included with the game's release, they will hold it just to pad their profit margin even more. Sadly, this is becoming the standard.DLC needs to go back to the form it once was, and there needs to be accountability and oversight to insure that the system is not gamed (pun intended) by the publishers.

If I could, I would not buy anything EA if possible. Sadly, its much like a choice between Linux and Windows - where on Linux you can't run Windows games, and if you don't buy EA's games, you won't play them (not talking about pirating them).
DRM and DLC can indeed die in a fire, though I would pay for REAL EXPANSIONS.Sadly, there is always someone/some company that is going to perverse the ingenuity of DLCAs I remember it, the idea of DLC was the created to give the game more content to make the game appealing even after the initial 90-day release.
