I was kind of disappointed that this game is rated Teen. It looks fantastic however. I hope Eidos can get off the snide (now that Squenix owns them).

I would really like a demo of this game

Is this when we all are supposed to bitch about how exclusive DLC is evil? Or does that just happen when it's not on the ps3?

Lol Xenos too true. It also seems the exclusive DLC on 360 isnt worth it...somehow...

@ Libara, I don't think there is any exclusive DLC for this game on the 360........at least I hope there isn't.

Game looks great though, depending on how it plays, I may pick it up.

I could care less about exclusive DLC, I probably won't buy the game. I wonder what Sony paid to have this as content?

What I mean about exclusive DLC, is that I don't care about character/outfit unlocks. I want extra missions, etc.

My comment was just in good fun victus, everyone here should know that I don't agree with exclusive DLC regardless of console.

I also don't think Sony paid for this, just don't have a feeling that this would be worth a pay off. Eh, but what do I know.

@Xenos

Exclusive DLC isn't evil, it's just a bad customer relations policy for the publisher since it alienates a good chunk of their customer base who may end up resenting them for not treating their customers equally. Yes, it sucks no matter which platform it's on, but it sucks more when it's the platform that I own that's getting the short end of the stick. Which seems to happen more often than the other way around, at least for DLC I'd actually care about (ie: GTA IV and Fallout 3)
