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

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
