Trophies and Achievements are not that bad, but they would AWESOME if they came along with unlockables! It would be like "We will give you a sticker that shows how awesome you are AND give you a little something for your efforts!"
Imagine playing a new Doom and coming upon the room with the BFG. There is a code lock on the door to get it to open, and in order to get the door to open you have to punch in your credit card number. A fee will automatically be deducted from your account and then the door will open.
If this starts happening I can see piracy and cracking getting a lot more popular again.
Brad is 100 fucking percent right on this. The sad thing is, everybody is always like
"Well it's only ten buck who cares". The thing is, it used to be FREE. Games didn't use to do this bullshit. Before, hard mode and extra characters were part of the game, not "DLC".
I thought I was the only one who thought that way, thanks Brad.
I'd prefer content already in one game, and wait out for an entirely new game, than compared to paying out the nose for extra bits and pieces of a game that should've been included as an entire set.
paying for extra content for a game is retarded. you went out and bought their game in the first place, all the content should come with it. if it's a PC game's expansion pack, that's understandable, but for a console, no. when we get console games, ALL the content should be available through gameplay alone, either from the start or by being unlocked.
Seeing as 9For example) Halo 3 is 6.3GB on a 7GB Disk....If you were to add al the DLC to it that'll easily top over 8.5GB. What they should do is 9seeing as you bought the game) make the DLC free of charge!
I like downloadable content...lets say you got this game right...you beat the hell out of it and you love it but theres just nothin left to do..you worked yer ass off on it! You feel like theres more that could be done...no dlc..your game ends there. It dwindles away int obscurity! Dlc is annoying if overdone but it can add tremendous replay value and keep a game fresh and interesting long after youve forgotten about beating other games!
@goddimmus True dat. tl;dr, DLC can be great if the company knows when to give it and how to price it. Modern Warfare 2 was done WRONG. Too expensive, and too early.
Seriously; why should I have to SPEND money to play as Protoman in MegaMan 9 who plays almost the EXACT same with like three differences? Why not just make his harder mode AVAILABLE after you beat the game or get enough points? This DLC era sucks... Money-vaccuuming bastards DX
One question though: is this the normal DMC3 or the special edition one? Because I don't remember Vergil being playable except in the second-to-last battle. :/
As long as people pay for DLC, this is how it's gonna be.
You voted by not buying it. Now you just have to convince 20 million other gamers to join you. Have fun with that.
Some games still have unlockables. Ace Combat 6 did, DMC4 did, Mass Effect did (those were cool as hell, by the way. Sniper with shotgun proficiency FTW).
So true. It's a sad state of affairs. Also what happened to split screen and cutscene replay. They seem to be getting far and few between. :( I miss unlockables. Points are starting to irritate me. I wish there was an option to turn them off so I wouldn't surrender to the obsessive achievement/trophy unlocking. Damn you achievements/trophies, damn you to hell!
Tsst, I also remember a time when games where a fuckload cheaper.
So, I don't buy DLC's except for Fallout 3, and that's becuse I'm in love with that game.
And I only buy sandbox games which I know I'll be able to play for a very long time.
So I think you guys should just stop complaining, noone's forcing you to buy this stuff, and alot of the DLC's aren't in production until after the game is released, so are the people who made this game just gonna work extra for no money? Course not.
At least (for the most part) Hideo Kojima didn't fail us. MGS4 gives some tid-bits of fun after beating a playthrough. DLC = another way major corporations can reem are assh**es...
Very true Brad, game devs are cheating their audience of rewards by making them pay for unlockables which should've been done already by the release of game. If they don't have their additional content ready, then don't release it as it's already an incomplete game.
Even though GDC SF was over this past Friday, I would definitely like to see this in the other major game dev conferences in a roundtable discussion concerning the usage of DLC. For now, the word needs to be spread on this.
I've actually sold 90% of my console stuff and have taken up playing EVE Online it's place.
Games are still fun, but the fact that you can't get anything unlockable in a game anymore means it's just not worth playing through them as much as it was.
My life of hardcore gaming died with the release of the 360, unfortunately.
ye its pretty gay now cus if u think about it GTA if not EVERYONE used to use cheats on that game now if u use cheats u cant get trophies or Xbox Points which is proper gay and kinda makes games not as fun as you could make them.
ye i didnt mean that cheats should be allowed to be used and with trophies/achievements but cheats made the game more entertaining when completed or just in general
wut i dont get is wut the hell are gamer points on xbox live supposed to do? r they supposed to give u some kind of sense of accomlishment or somethin? o.O
tbh this is why i dont pay for games anymore i buy a game and i pay 60 bucks for 25% of the game then i have to pay for DLC on the other 75% ontop of the 60 bucks iv already paid for.
Consumers buying into the crap like mindless sheep doesn't help also. Some people need to start growing backbones and achknowlage that they're being assraped by some of the DLC offers.
Especially when it's in the case that the developers REMOVED content from the final project to meet a deadline, then offer it as DLC several months after release. Which would mean you're paying $5-10 on content that would have just been free + the base price of the game.
Wait... games use to come with unlockables? No no no, this has to be a mistake. Never did such a ludicrous concept exist.
In all seriousness though, it's not just the extra tid bits that developers like to leave out and release later on. No, its actual segments of a fucking game now, from Resident Evil 5's Versus (A single MODE which really is just Mercs with 2 extra people, for $5) all the way to Prince of Persa's Epilogue (the fucking ENDING of the game).
On second thought, I'd actually argue it's not good business. sure, most people with download your week-old DLC, but there's alot who may take a stand and refuse to purchase it.
if these developers like capcom waited maybe 1.5 - 2 months to release their "DLC", it would give off the image that they've been working hard over that time span to keep the game fresh, and thus may receive additional purchases from the protesters. it's not like people will lose interest in the extra month and a half.
DLC is a great way to extend the lifespan of a game.
however, its one thing to come out with new costumes or levels/maps a couple months after release, but making them downloadable 1-2 weeks after release just screams cheesing.
guess i shouldn't complain though, i keep giving them a reason to do it by downloading their extra content. if they can continue to get it away it, hell, way to go. the extra 5-15 dollars a month isn't gonna sink me anyway.
Getting nickel and dimed over things that used to make games better but now just make them a rip off should make anyone not doing the ripping off sad.
the have changed! they aint fun no more, and thats why im selling my xbox and settin up my old ps2 and buying an n64 or somthing, get a ton of old pc games. they wer the days! fuck xbox and ps3
when you beat a game, you should automatically get all the content, or meet other requirements. but since DLC and the sony and microsoft marketplace have opened you have to pay for maps,costumes etc.
I think you're forgetting Namco and Capcom :( bunch of bull, it should be against the law imo to charge extra for anything MADE less than 2 months after the game came out (other than special edition type of stuff, of course)
Expansion packs aren't extra costumes or 'versus modes.' They usually offer more content than that.
DLC pretty much just gives developers an excuse to pilfer more money from consumers. On the other hand, given how fuckin' expensive it is to produce games nowadays, I don't really blame them.
DLC is simple. If people are willing to pay for DLC, why wouldn't publishers charge for it?
BUT, developers like Valve have started handing out DLC for free and mark my words, it's just the start. Once Microsoft figures out that free is the way to go, DLC will once again be free.
Let's just hope idiotic little kids don't mess this up by buying stuff they don't need...
so true...all we achieve by playing modern games is damn trophies,for something actually useful they invented DLCs....so true

But I'm a hypocrite; what should I know?

DLC is made because developers want to release the game as soon as possible, and release the extra stuff later.

on the real though, this DLC fad is getting to be too much.
Games are already expensive as hell, and now I've gotta pay more for stuff that should've been included from the get-go?

I just see them as expansion packs, since that's what they are.

ya small ones too, example, Operation Anchorage was like what? 10 quest long, and iam pretty sure The Pit will be the same

Expansion packs aren't extra costumes or 'versus modes.' They usually offer more content than that.
DLC pretty much just gives developers an excuse to pilfer more money from consumers. On the other hand, given how fuckin' expensive it is to produce games nowadays, I don't really blame them.

you got a point

we'll, it probably costs like $5 to manufacture the disc/case and they sell it for $30 to $50 so say they sell 100,000 for a game at $50.
that would earn them 4.5million
so... expensive or not they make a crapload of cash to pay for costs.

5 dollars to manufacture it. loads more to develope it.

What 1PAcouchpotato said.
It's WAY more than five bucks to develop a game, bro.
Magnegro 2 years ago

DLC is simple. If people are willing to pay for DLC, why wouldn't publishers charge for it?
BUT, developers like Valve have started handing out DLC for free and mark my words, it's just the start. Once Microsoft figures out that free is the way to go, DLC will once again be free.
Let's just hope idiotic little kids don't mess this up by buying stuff they don't need...
