Last Week, a patch for the EU/US PC Version of Tomb Raider took out the Japanese Voice/Subtitle option, this was a move to stop imports of the game

In a move today, Square Enix are now offering the Japanese voice/Subtitle option as DLC, but at a very nice price of $30 (around £15) thus punishing japanese importers even more!

lol I think thats a good move tbh. Who in the hell would import it anyway. That price though is ridiculous wahaha.

Puting it out as DLC...theres a fucking surprise. Theyre getting as bad and shit as capcom. Thats if theyre not that bad already

I don't particularly care for Japanese Voices, to be honest.

I don't change or use them at all.

Though, it is complete bullcrap-shiottttte that they'd add it as DLC. Some people enjoy having it and it can't be that hard to keep...

Damn SE.

0.0 Though, I still think Lara sounds sexier with that accent.

Asshole move. Removing a feature that was already present only to offer it as DLC a week later? Sounds like the SE of today...

And what have they been smoking to put such a hefty price tag on it? To be honest I think they're just being petty because the game didn't sell to their incredibly optimistic expectations. Expectations they based from Metacritic....

Make no mistake, TR sold AMAZINGLY considering the state the series has been in. I also bought Sleeping Dogs and LOVED it so much I went for the platinum. (Still annoyed about the Wedding..)
