Oh hell no. Those bastards making Nemesis mode a separate thing is unacceptable. They had GAMEPLAY TRAILERS for it. More than a month ago. It's been finished. They had 0 good reasons not to ship it on disk.

If I hadn't already ordered this game I wouldn't be buying it anymore. -____-. Considering canceling my order and buying it used in a few months.

What 4$ Extra for Nemesis-Mode?
I already paid 60$ for the Game itself, now i cancel my pre-order
and never buy anything else from Capcom, those money greedy-bi***es!

P.S. can´t wait for Resident Evil 6, i would even pay 100$ to get my hands on it, GOTY 2012!!!

(Note: That was sarcasm, and i dont care for RE6 until its out) laugh

Yeah that lame ass Nyte Blade pack was just a costume and a bike. At first glance it looks like it's a expansion but it isn't.

SR3 Season Pass is done. Had a great time in every DLC....you sadly hardly get anything good to keep after a mission.
