Ugh IGN...

I was quite fine with the ending. In fact there are multiple endings (paradox endings) so it's really up to the player what they want to believe. There will be story content added in with DLC but there has been no comfirmation whatsoever that it is a continuation of the original story ending.

Maybe the DLC will be free?

Yeah right! :p

Santa Clause might bring it to you! (Y) :D

no offense, just kidding! ^^

Its a diffeent ending,, so what.

I would have an issue if then Only ending was DLC, but this isnt the case

*Edit - sometimes i hate this tablet

True that.

Easy people, I find DLCs cheesy (at best), too, but this is not a "new degree".

Ops choice of topic name == fail.

you dont have to buy squat to see the end of the game. The dlcs are just OTHER endings and paths in the story. Gotta hand it to you for tricking people in here for views, worked on me.

Why would I trick people for views? I don't get paid for page views.

There is nothing wrong with the title. It is consistent with the claim made in the video.

In a way you do - the DLC is clearly an integral part of the game that was developed alongside the actual game.

What would you like if they ripped out the entire Renegade part of Mass Effect 2 and made you pay for it? "I'm sorry but you can't see the renegade storyline/ending without paying extra".

I'd say "**** you in the neck, *******s". Which is exactly what anyone who cares slightly about the future of gaming should do here.

This, although as I have said, nothing new.

What has been another bloody feck up was Assassin's Creed 2...

Missing actually parts of the actual only (hence main) story...

I can't stand Ubisoft with a passion, they are the nazis of game publishers, but AC is too good to pass on...

Did show them my disregard a couple times, so yeah, I didn't vote with my wallet, but made my point clear nevertheless.

That's the least you can do in such a dilemma.

I'd prefer XIII-3 than DLCs. That ending deserves a game not a DLC. Really liked the characters in this game (Serah, Noel, Yeul and Caius). Hope was pretty cool too. Mog was annoying.

Caius is one of my favorite FF villians.

Or a vehicle manufacture has the 19" rims extra instead of the 16's, as clearly the rims were designed along side and intandem with the car, or even the cigarete lighter or multi disk changer.

The Alternative Ending is just that, an Alternative and fully Optional ending. You dont need it to enjoy the game. A person could skip it and be just fine.

Your example is just far off, they do not require the purchase of the DLC, and not getting the DLC has no effect on the persons gameplay, UNLESS they want to see the OPTIONAL and ALTERNATIVE / EXTRA ending or features.

Game Expansion packs do the same thing. Even sequels, i dont see people up in arms for Diablo III being pay as its continuing the storylien of previous Diablos.

Heck Blizzard even did that with SCII. They are releacing expansions to finish the storyline of the Protos and Zerg. Nobody is up in arms over that, they are preordering it and drooling over it

* edit - but all in all im still completing FFXIII and refusing to play FFXIII-2 untill i beat the first, havent even put the disk in my PS3 yet

I think some people are arguing that the ending you get is intentionally weak so you're compelled to go out and buy the DLC to get a more satisfying ending. If that is the case, it is pretty ****ty of them to do.

If that is the case then yea i would have to "kinda " agree, but not fully, as it could just be like the harry potter movies and left that way to allow FFXIII-3

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
