      Neither would Mass Effect or DA:O, those had purchaseable cosmetics and preorder bonuses. So did Dead Space, incidentally. In fact there were some cross-brand cosmetics between Dead Space and Mass Effect, IIRC. Definitely Jedi Survivor. Persona games often have small cosmetic DLC, too.

      Often with this stuff, “AAA” becomes “games I didn’t like” more than anything else.

        Huh, I… Acquired Jedi Survivor so all connectivity shoving monetization must not have worked. I haven’t played the 2nd one, but at least in the first one I didn’t remember there being DLC packs and whatnot.

        Also to be completely honest I haven’t played Persona, so if there is DLC in it I am mistaken.

          There is a deluxe edition with some cosmetics that you can buy as a bundle or as a separate pack.

          It’s not much, but hey, I don’t mind cosmetics in general, so you tell me where you draw the line. It’s mostly horse armor, but I thought that was a bad thing.

          The persona games get weird, because they typically get at least one re-release and it’s hard to keep track of what is availble where. I can tell you if you google “Persona 5 DLC” there are people explicitly asking how to avoid cashing in the bundled DLC items that trivialize chunks of the game by being overpowered, though.
