Well, fuck you, too, GMG. Fuck you, too.
E: My bank stopped the payment, though, so, idgaf, but what kind of scummy practice is this? I didn't even get to review the order before it totally processed, otherwise I'd have caught it.

Honestly, none of this stuff sounds all that interesting, nor enough to convince me to drop money on the base game. I'm surprised that there are people eagerly jumping on in the Gaming-side thread.
Far Harbor sounds like Point Lookout 2.0, but unless I see it in action, it's not worth $25. The other two sound like elements that should have been in the main game from the get-go, and/or have already been addressed by mods.

If you wanna give up on them charge them back. Lately GMG support has been kind of shit with their new found popularity.

It's the Battlefield Premium model of fuck you pay me, we think you'll pay whatever we ask for it so why not hike the price?
I'll just hold off till the whole thing is $10 or less. No rush, i still have some New Vegas DLC to get to anyhow

If you're going into Dead Money, get the DM Free Roam and Gold Weight Fix mods.
Thank me later.

Yeah, I did just that. This isn't the first time they pulled this on me - except the first time, the game was only like $10 so I didn't care too much after a while. The way current exchange rates are set up, though, I stopped it.
Just gonna never touch that place again. I'd rather pay full price on Steam.
Hmm, what should I play next, SteamGAF?
PoE, didn't White March 2 come out today?

I'm alright for now. But the moment they screw me over it's done.
Well even since Adobe and Ubisoft started leaking my credentials willy nilly I've tried to create a unique username for each service. Thankfully in everyday life I've got a bajillion nicknames as it is so not too much different really.
It's a'wight me old china, here's something to get your mince pies into.

I've only done Honest Hearts and that was back when I was actually playing the campaign for the first time. I need to look up the order that's often recommended for the DLC before jumping back in.
Any reason why you're pushing those mods? I try to play the game as close to the developer's vision for the game as possible so the only mod i've installed is the better UI mod so that more than like 3 things are listed in menus at a time

I already got the Seasons pass for free thanks to the Funstock screw up, so they can charge whatever they want

Unless you want to deal with a cloud that rapidly sucks away your health or a collar that's equal parts annoying and infuriating, there is no sense dealing with the "developer's vision". Almost everyone who's played it (myself included) agrees that DM is the worst of the New Vegas DLCs, and this is coming from someone who just logged 200 hours into the game.

fallout 4 season pass is trash, 2 of them are things that modders will do as soon as they get access to the GECK, only 1 story dlc and they're planning on raising the price to $50. Lol, pass.

honestly, might just skip it then. If i have to mod a game or DLC to make it tolerable then i'd rather just not bother at all.

I'll say this.
The first time I played DM, I nearly quit the game altogether because it was so aggravating. Dealing with the monotonous level design while simultaneously trying to cope with the cloud and collar was incredibly tedious and anger-inducing.
With the two mods I mentioned, it's still difficult, but nowhere near as frustrating. It actually becomes much more enjoyable and allows you to soak in the story a bit more.

AMD Vulken beta drivers: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-art...sionGUID=8cdb458a-4db7-04d6-3869-aab632106b41
I find it ironic that Vulkan is based on a good bit of Mantle, yet it seems AMD supports DX12 better than they support Vulkan.
Having said that, I'll probably wait for AMDs official release of a driver that supports Vulkan.

this is very untrue
a lot of people love dead money and the health stuff is not even that annoying, specially on normal difficulty. "everyone agrees dm is the worst" is like whatever dude, that's fucking wrong
it's my favorite out of the dlc, the story and characters are great, it setups some awesome mystery for the other dlc and it plays fine
don't skip it, it'd be very stupid to skip some great dlc just cos some dude on the internet told you so. try it out for yourself and see if you can deal with it. it's not really difficult and it's worth the mild annoyance of the poison crap

Take a read through the reviews on Steam. The "survival horror" elements of Dead Money are greatly maligned, and it's often considered the worst of the four DLCs. I even ran through it twice, which I wouldn't have done in the first place if I didn't have mods for it.
Even when I played it, I had recommendations here to use mods to alleviate the stupid mechanics.
And honestly, the companions aren't all that great.

I can't even find ranked matches. While I was getting them back to back on sf4 the other day.

If in doubt, just skip it. You're not missing much, and the story beats it tells are covered pretty well in the other 3 expansions.
I feel pretty comfortable in saying that Uncharted 4, the true successor to Uncharted 2, will be your GOTY.
