  • Downloadable content is amazing

  • Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land DLC would be awesome, I would kill for some new tracks in MK7 and SM3DL is a rather short game so it wouldn't hurt adding a world or 2 more to it.

  • I haven't played Portal 2

    Oh baby, don't hurt me

    Don't hurt me no more

  • @NilasThomsen You're missing out. Buy it. NAO.

  • @TheGameStation that means you too, Layne!

  • DLC can sometimes be a good thing such as with racing tracks, more quests, or extra costumes; however, I would rather unlock things through my own merit. It seems that DLC caters to the "lazy gamer". For example, in Soul Calibur IV one could beat the story mode with every character and build up enough of the in-game currency (gold) to receive each character's ultimate and gag weapons; however, these could also be purchased in the online store.

  • Just got back from Japan where I, personally, had no means of internet access. Glad to know Layne is still here :D

  • DLC should be good, but now its beeng abused by almost every game. They produce a half decent game for full price and offers to give DLC for additional money so make the game good. Its a scam! No! Its Buisness!

  • the DLC for fable 3 is bullshit

  • I was really looking forward to Syndicate, but they are not releasing a demo for PC.... I smell a shit port :(

  • Layne, for someone who is the host of a gaming show and releases game-based videos often, you don't seem to play games very often. Busy busy busy.

  • look at the picture at 2:34

  • i want a full game... not DLC's

  • it useless

    

  • It all depends on the DLC itself and the price IMO.

  • I agree with you. DLC was a good idea but as you said, you never unlock things these days. It has removed much of the fun from the core game knowing that more is coming, and possibly more... and more. Plus obviously they charge. I miss the days where you paid once. I do think some DLC is ok though. Say you have played CoD 8 to death but still enjoy it. Well then the DLC will pump some life back into it for you. All the silly stuff like TF2 hats can get lost. Make them unlockables not payables.

  • There's good DLC and there's bad DLC. Most of it's good and it's just a matter of whether it's worth the money.

  • Dragons Dogma? It's Capcom. I'll wait for the Super Ultimate version in December. :P

  • Problem is that DLC nowadays usually is something that was in the game from the start that they cut out to sell as a bonus.

  • I think DLC was a good thing, at first but then they just turned it into you want anything extra? go buy it. we aint giving you anyhting free!

  • Time to get a new Intro TGS.. seriously..

  • Good thing, as long as it's not too eXpensive. Should be free tbh (like Valve).

  • alright josh shaved!

    that beard was looking pretty awful

    i may reconsider about hating him now

  • Haven't played Portal 2... STONE THE HERETIC!

  • As long as it's not exclusive, well-priced and not released right after the game has been released. DLC should be stuff that the Devs put in because they just thought of a great new idea not as a money grab.

  • come on dude, portal 2 is the shit. get on that.

  • DLC with the 3DS is a great addition to a great on-the-go gaming device.

  • I dont mind dlc depending on what it is. If the dlc for mk7 is just newer characters they couldnt be bothered to add in at the start i probably wouldnt buy it but if it wa a whole new cup or set of maps I'm OK with it. it would also be pretty cool if they gave you a taste of the first map in add on cups or something. i Would suspect that the DLC for super mario 3d land are just new worlds and hopefully a return of some of the other items from smb3 in those worlds

  • DLC is fine as long as it is an add on for a part of the story which they thought was left untouched but isn't long enough/enough content for a full retail release.

  • i prefer unlockables.

  • DLC SUCKS!!!

  • Great editing at 1:50

  • I love DLC It really works for RPG games like Fallout... Games like Mortal Combat? I'm not so sure...

  • Thumbs up if you think Layne is cute!

  • All really good games, have fun layne :)

    As for dlc, when done right it's really good but there are alot of games that release too much for extremely high prices

  • meat boy did unlockables right

  • What about the TM demo!?

  • I don't like DLC. I shouldn't have to pay extra to unlock stuff in my game that's already on the disc.

  • For games i like to have a solid disc, i like having stuff that i know is there.

  • I think exactly what you think, DLC are abused now,

    it's not good.

    But I used to like it...

    now not so much...

  • WHY YOU NO PLAY PORTAL 2!!

  • Holy crap, who is that from the super indie spotlight. That is anyone but josh.

  • 1:53 nice dubbing :P

  • Layne, is that you wearing that thong in the "butt" picture?

  • DLC could be a good thing but most of the time it's just stuff that developers hold back from original release to try and get more money, if you have stuff made put it on the damn disc and stop being greedy dicks about it, then work on new and interesting stuff for DLC.

  • Depends on what it's for LAyne.

  • I think for rpgs it can add more to the adventure, im thinking of the zombie island of doctor ned for borderlands.

  • agreed with Layne, DLC used to be good, now it just seems like a cash grap.

  • Comment removed

  • Dlc is good with the right game. Some dlc is flat out bad and is quite obvoius what its intentions are there for.

  • We are being milked. PERIOD. Thanks to the call of duty series we are paying an extra 10 dollars for PC games now. I don't know why either. It's not like they have to pay for packaging, the disc to put it on or an instructional manual. Thank you call of duty for ruining PC gaming.

  • DLC is good but in CoD it is TERRIBLE!!!... cus they relise the parts that chuld been in the game on relise...and in other games in NEEDS to bee more like a P.S.(this is something that we didnt realy plan...)

  • hate DLC; want game to be complete when I buy it.

  • Nintendo needs to do dlc, to fix bugs. In mario kart 7 there is a bug that can man you get 20seconds ahead on one of the maps

  • also, guys, you say you would rather wait two months to play a game JUST so you get that little, completely optional, DLC already in the game, free of charge?

  • DLC is perfectly fine, as long as they dont charge $9 for a new gun on the single player mode of MW3 or some other crazy useless stuff.

  • I hate DLC

  • Nice ass! 2:34

  • I have the Jurrasic Park game on the 360..... yay me

  • DLC is good, its the only way the games companies make the money they need, to keep making the games we love, without charging ridiculous prices for the games themselves.

  • thumbs up if you're 888 viewer!)

  • If it isn't from activision then DLC is usually okay.

  • $60 for a game is expensive but i still do it, but i wont do extra $ for a DLC that should have been included in the game. developers have DLC come out for a game that has barely been out for three months. The only DLC that i get excited for now are Bethesda games because it gives you more than a bonus map etc... they give you an entire new sub-game. That is worth it.

  • I think dlc is also getting out of hand I enjoy TWS2 but i don't buy much of the dlc, I don't want to spend money for an settings option!, the special units should of been unlock, KF buying skins. really really?... Now Bethesda imo some times gets dlc right like for oblivion, there was

    Shivering isles that was GREAT dlc, and knights of the nine came with alot of extra stuff to go with the new quest line.

  • You can never buy a finished game any more. I will very rarely buy DLC.

  • DLC sucks

  • The only game I've bought DLC for is Borderlands, and that was because it was on sale for like £1 per DLC and I love that game.

  • downloadable content.. sucks imho :)

  • Saints row the third you have to BUY cheat codes dlc!

  • The resident evil logo looks like someone is giving a giraffe a BJ o.O

  • Fourth!

  • I'm with you Lane, the appeal of working towards an unlock in a game is all but gone. Greed has ruined one of the most appealing facets of game longevity.

  • CDPR ( Witcher 2) gives DLC for free. And not simple 'weapons' but REAL DLC.

  • ummm..... Jurassic Park was released on Xbox back in November

  • I like good DLC. If it adds to the game in a major way like adding a new campaign it's fine by me. But if it's just a map pack or a skin pack i don't see any justifiable way of charging you 15 dollars for a couple maps or a skin. Bethesda usually makes pretty good dlc, CoD usually makes bad DLC.

  • I want DLC packs to be merged and just sold as expansions with more content.

  • The same with you Layne about DLC.

  • if 99% of all offered DLC weren't complete rip offs they might be a good idea. I remeber times... a long time ago ... you got maps etc. for free.? Free you say?!?! The F! ... Yeah those times

  • DLC is complete horseshit.

  • @Chayden90 Yes, PAID DLC is.

  • @Chayden90 whoreshit

  • @Chayden90 Did you mean: Horse armor?

  • DLCs were good when they were known as patches.

  • @dorkykaya

    omg yes

  • If the 2 DLC for Castlevania Lords of Shadow would have been one DLC it would have been worth the money, now both where kinda dissapointing.

    I did buy the DLC for mass effect because that game is just plain awesome.

  • Ah, the good old days when companies just used to release shit as a part of the game instead of splitting their game into pieces and selling them separately..

  • I like download content for some things but on the other hand i find its just away for game devs to take from the game it self and then sell it later down the line

  • Good cuse it lets you enjoj new things to the game, thus making the game longer

  • GOOD THING IT ADDS MORE STUFF TO DO

  • Some DLC is good, but a mix of unlockables and DLC is probably ideal.

  • Layne Pavoggi!

  • Downloadable can be good if it actually adds something significant to the game. Problem is, too many companies are either creating minor things that just own't worth the money or taking stuff out of the game to sell it later.

  • DLC is good when its free or mega low price... 

  • As long as the new Super Smash bros games have extra DLC characters, I'm fine with it.

  • I don't mind DLC if its extra content that wasn't meant to be on the game disc..

  • dlc is fine for a game thats been out for about one year, but then you have CoD abusing it every 2 months for 4 new maps - thats the problem with dlc

  • Yes

  • But jurrassic park is out for the 360

  • soon they will release only half of a game... making people buy the rest of the story in three stages, then extra shit once you've spent an extra $45 just to find out what happens at the end.

    dont believe me? wait and see

  • If you go play Skyward Sword right now, I might just forgive you Layne

  • HURT LAYNE NOW GLADOS SAID THERE WOULD BE CAKE IF WE DO!!!!

  • i hate all the dlc

  • Layne, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy the format you guys have going right now. Short, fun and informative. Keep it up!

  • To much DLC. And too expansive most of the time.

    

  • Downladable content? I caught you on that one!

  • Comment removed

  • I only accept DLC if its a fair way down the track like around a year cause then its like they're trying to breath life back into the game but if its straight after the release or weeks after or even a few months after. its basically content that should've been in the original and now they're just grabbing for money or they wanted to rush out their game in time.

  • Whooop eh

  • its usually nice unless as of lately it seems they cut out parts of the original game and make it dlc that costs from 5-20$ more, even though it clearly is needed to have the full game experience.

  • DLC is good as long as if its done right.

  • Pfft DLC. What happened to free content patches and if need be expansion packs? Oh the good ol' days :)

  • DLC that gives you extra story for the campaign or extra maps, weapons, etc for multiplayer is ok. But stuff like buying characters or skins and stuff is stupid and unnescarry,

  • I dont like DLC its been way to abused, skins and extra charactors should be free and multiplayer maps should be cheaper

  • DLC seems like somthing that should already be in the game..

    dont like that they make a game.. then brake it in to tiny bit and then try to sell it to me

  • 99.9% of the time DLC = gime gimme gimme your money motherfuckers !!!

  • THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE FREE DLC.

  • yeh I hate dlc, never bought any... ever. free dlc is fine tho :)

  • Wow, Josh cleans up nicely. He have a hot date coming up, or something?

  • eyedo :)

  • "We just released the (third) FOURTH episode of King Hippo" lol

  • DLC is awesome in the sense it brought the expansion idea from PC to consoles, but on a smaller scale. Though I agree it is being abused now.

  • EYEDO

  • i beat super mario 3D land for the most part (only thing i didnt do is beat the crown level, which im close to finishing) but i might like some dlc to extent my gameplay

    but yes i agree dlc is a little ridiculous, but if its free im all for it

  • DLC has and had its place but now I agree it is being abused it is getting pretty ridiculous.

  • dlc is fine unless it ends up being like dungeon defenders crazy amount of dlc

  • dlc is stupid, it seems that game producers take things out of the finished game just to get even more money (big surprise there)

  • i dont like DLC i just think that they should either make them free or include it in the original disk

  • dont feel bad guy, i havent played portal 2 or the new zelda game and i am a huge fan of both series. i will though dont get me wrong...

  • ...we just realeased the FOURTH episode....

  • i think that DLC is a good idea but its over used now and over charged too. bad company 2 got it right by adding 2 maps every few months for free. 

  • it WAS good. now we only buy half the game

  • Did anyone see the Butt at 2:28 when he says "but uhh" ?

    hahhaa

  • come on man english is catching up step up your game!!

  • 0 dislikes :D

  • I love how layne is so chill about everything. Its the one video i can watch where i can relax

  • he SHAVED

  • the Syndicate demo froze my xbox almost every single time i tried to play it, but the game was still awesome.

    Also, i played the Gotham City Impostors beta on xbox, and it is REALLY awesome and so much damn fun, but it TOO freezes my xbox half the time i play it.

  • Very much overused!

  • DLC is a good thing if used to add stuff, not hold it back.

  • wait what... he didn't play portal 2 yet? how dare you asking me questions... spend your time wise and play that game instead of asking me stuff ;)

  • Thanks for mentioning Soul Calibur V's release...

  • isn't it awesome how Valve released the DLC for portal 2 for free? :D

  • I didnt like the Syndicate demo that much :/

  • portal 2 was alright, I think it is good for its genre but it can't compete TF2

  • i thought Jurassic was gonna suck but i actually liked it

  • its bullcrap you are spending money on buying a game and it is insulting for you to have to spend MORE money just to get the complete game (arkham city).

  • Reasonably priced dlc is k. Fallout dlc is a bit expensive but amazing. Cod dlc is a fucking scam. After the next cod comes out last years cod will collect dust and the 60+ spent on map packs alone will be wasted. Can't wait for Gotham city impostors!!

  • if its map packs and shit im in

  • Please check out my channel alot of great content with so much more to come a lil bit of everything for every gamer!!!!

  • Resident evil 6 logo is a standing giraffe getting it's dick sucked by a women.

  • hasn't played portal 2

    *goes and grabs shovel for you

  • i agree with you

  • the only time i find dlc annoying is when they announce dlc before the game came out...ive seen a few games schedule dlc releases like a month after the games release...just put it in the game!

  • DLC's should be free, in my opinion. Not the larger ones that give you basically double hours if gameplay and such, but the smaller things yeah.

  • Portal 2 was overrated.

    

  • certain things i would buy but other things should be things you can earn/buy some things should have been in the game beforehand. its annoying when you hear that theres already dlc for a game thats not released yet. but idk there might or might not be a reason besides money

  • DLC's have to be cheap (< $5) or add 10+ hours to cost more than $5 imo. short missions, skins, etc., SHOULD cost UNDER a dollar. things like COD DLCs are still retardedly overpriced and are destroying what Downloadable Content should be. Maps are just skins and textures not so much Content. DLCs imho should be extra story missions, alternate endings, badass shit to get ppl to play the game again.

  • Its a good thing....but jesus they are announcing 4 dlcs pack with 3 months of the game being released all costing money! I just bought the damn game!!!!!!!

  • I love getting half a game and then haveing to buy the rest of the game through DLC.

  • Only Capcom game I'm looking forward to this year is Asura's Wrath. That game looks freaking sick.

  • When is Layne gonna score against English?

  • so is the Witcher 2 not for PS3???

  • As far as i know the kgarharkainnknakina (I don't even remember how to spell it) 2gig DLC for battlefield 3 that came out awhile ago there, That's something that they could've at least put a 5 dollar price on but these kind souls at EA said nope JUST TAKE IT. I personally actually pay for the DLC as long as it's actually worth it, unlike the hundreds of gun skins for GoW3, that shit is a whole new level of jewish

  • The Witcher 2 is an example of DLC done right. I fucking adore CD Projekt

  • Here is how I look at DLC. DLC should be if they wanted to add something they couldn't during release date. There should always be secrets easter eggs and finding collectables should unlock Single player Cheats for the fun.

  • Is anyone really excited about Syndicate, or are people (rightly) put off by the fact that it is nothing like the original?

  • DLC is only okay in two situations:

    1) The game was released as a budget title, and small cheap DLC is released (eg Dungeon Defenders)

    or

    2) It's a proper expansion, or it adds enough to the game to make it worthwhile. Obvious examples are Shivering Isles and the Fallout DLC's.

    Don't even get me started on "Retailer Exclusives".

    But yeah I would get the MK7 stuff if it added whole new cups or something, but there is no way in hell I will pay more than £5 for it.

  • DLC is awesome, but i would like to unlock more things.

  • TO HELL WITH DLC. i play with a nintendo 64 still :D

  • OMG re 6 and dragons gotta get it

  • LMAO Jurassic Park. It wasnt even a game =P

    Yeh, DLC should be free unless it actually changes the game or enhances it by atleast 3-4hours =]

  • Ya totally agree DLC used to be a good thing now its abused. like oblivion's expansion pack shivering isles was worth it now they are not nearly as good. Also lane i would like to know what parts are u gonna put in ur PC?

  • Jurassic park stank like hell, but at least Back To the Future was actually decent since it's not an action based game, it was like the classic telltale game.
