Skins!!!!

Hey im a big fan of gears and have played all the games religiously over the past few years however i think EPIC has really cheated its fan with the unlockable weapon skins in Gears 3. Firstly for some of them you need some gears 1
achievements which i think is a bit stupid as if you have changed accounts like me you don't have a chance of unlocking these weapons. And secondly why has epic only released like 5 weapon skins for the game but then they are
charging ludicrous amounts of Microsoft points for something that really should have been included in the first place
for the price of £40. Can anybody explain why game companies rip us off like this.

You have a bunch of in-game skins you can unlock, the remainder of which are completely optional and do not effect completion percentage or anything like that. Also, it is actually quite good that they include some rewards for Gears 1 & 2 achievements to award long term loyalty to the franchise. You said you changed Gamertags... but all of your achievements remain in tact when you do so, so you should still have them. Unless you created a new account entirely for some reason, then you would have to re-earn them - but you can still get them, so I'm not sure why you said you don't have a chance of unlocking them again.

Also, to point this out for the 8 millionth time, Epic does not set the price of DLC, add-ons, or even the game itself. It is up to the publisher of the game to decide on all pricing whether it's the game, DLC, or add-ons. The publisher of the Gears of War franchise is Microsoft Studios, so take up your case with them if you're unhappy with the price.

welcome to the new age were idiots buy everything so companies are like "if they are gonna throw their money away... why not to us?"

Cutting corners and doing this type of bull is what companies do now, get used to it, just don't buy it.

Then why make it dlc in the first place, put it in the game i just paid for

Because they know even if 5 people buy it they turn a profit. Everyone here would do the same if it was your game, stop crying get a job if you want it that bad.

You can buy skins seperately, only 320 MSP. Which is actually better considering you can only use two at a time in the first place.

because it's optional. it isnt like you need any of these anyway. i personally wanted everything since i was a completionist and so i got everything. it wasnt like it was a shocker that you had to pay for these. it was said before release and you're getting are cake too. ****load of skins to pick and choose from. Microsoft is a business 1st and foremost so its a no brainer on why they would do this. the GAME itself is for the fans and have fun with it. you can also get some complementary skins just for being a long term fan. but you got to remember theres another side to this coin and IMO they should be able to give us an option to buy some skins.
