DLC is getting out of hand.

It is getting pretty ridiculous, some even saying there will be DLC before the actual game is released, i thought that DLC was for game fix ups, or for popular games in which the community of it wanted more content.

Now every new game is just coming with DLC. like CoD 6 we shouldn't have to pay for new maps, in CoD 4 we didn't.

So yeh there's the end of my rant on DLC,

My favorite ia when people complain about this thing everyday all the time and yet they still buy DLC all the time. So who's fault is it really? That's the question you should be asking yourself. If you don't good for you I guess but don't complain about something if your going to contradict yourself.

I can understand DLC in games which turned out more popular than the dev's expected like Borderlands. Call of Duty DLC is just mad, same with Assassins Creed 2. DLC should be an added bonus for those people who bought the game and were loyal to the company. Battlefield Bad CO 2 has a code so those people who bought the game new will be rewarded. I think they use expensive DLC to try to tie you to your game and not sell it on.

thats hwy i dont buy DLC, i aint supporting it!

Youre right, but as long as it sells, they will be made. Sure you can argue "but it was free 2 years ago", but many people play call of duty and hardly anything else and they dont care to pay 15 bucks additionally. Or they just love the game so much that they'd buy it for 99 bucks, standard version, with 4 additional maps included. See what I mean?

You dont have to pay it, you can support those who dont charge additionally, or you can play the older Call of Duty games or other genres. Its not the only game in the world..

DLC seemed like a good idea first but it sucks nowadays.

Company need to work on day one DLC so they knew the game can have DLC.

There is so much wrong with this gen of gaming, I can only wonder what else they will rip us off with next. I haven't bought a DLC package since Gay Tony, which was well worth the money.

I agree, the current state of DLC, where it is planned before the game is even released, is ridiculous. The entire point of DLC was that it was something which could be added to the game after the full product arrived. These days, it seems we sometimesget a half-baked game and then have to pay extra to finish it. And furthermore, the idea of PDLC (Pre-Downloadable Content), which is put out before the game, is even more disturbing.

It makes me laugh when I see people crying about the amount of DLC released, no one is forcing you to buy any DLC, if you don't like it ignore it and move on with your life, and let people who do enjoy getting DLC have there fill.spike6958

The first Crackdown is worse then anything they have done today. In the game they tell you of mini-mission that you need to pay to get and make a point of it while playing the game.

I'm also concerned about what kind of impact it is going to have on people who want to play some of today's games years down the road.StopThePresses

No they aren't I want more map packs for MW2!

To me, it really depends on how devs use it. Yes, many have abused it to get you to pay for content that should've been free or as an excuse to release an incomplete game.

There are some who use it in a good way like BioWare. Everyone else however....

Remember back in the day, where you bought an game and knew you got the whole game? No liscense agreements, no DLC crap.

Makes me feel as though devs last gen poured their heart and soul into a game because once it goes to the manufacturing process that's it. Better have no regrets.

Remember back in the day when controllers have wires? Yeah, they got in the way, but you didn't have had to worry about the battery life in your controller. "Controller 1 has a low battery." Ugh.

i agree with more people so far. when i first got my 360 i thought most dlc where post relese patches to fix problems.

if it adds a couple hours of game it may be worth a few dollars. developers should see it DLC as a way to get people to buy the game(full retail version), not make it to make a quick few dollars. i dont mind downloading patchs for games on PC and it helps fix small probs . they should do it on consoles as well, every one is going round saying COD:MW2 is all glichy for the money the company made. a simple free patch to fix it up wold mot be too much to ask !!!! every one planing MW2 (in general) will be playing multi so fix it , dam it. fix it!!! i have ranbow 6: 2 for pc its on like versionn 1.26 i dont care, internet is free!! a good game is $100 and if it becomes bad because stuff needs fixing it should be fixed by the developers !!!

sorry for the rant, but the big games are worth millions a few hours reading post and re playing the game with the design team wont hert.

dont be scaredDevelopers i dont mind patching

thats hwy i dont buy DLC, i aint supporting it!

I totally agree with you, I havent bought any digital DLC so far, instead, I waited for the addons of GTA IV to be released on a physical basis. I'll also buy the Borderlands DLC on the disc and not digitally. Concerning Dragon Age, I'll only buy any DLC if it gets released on disc, too. I hate all this EA-account crap and having to be online to download it. I'll also buy the Fallout 3 GOTY with the DLC on it. And that's almost all that is interesting since most of the DLC like AC 2, Mass Effect and all the others are a rip off in my opinion. But I understand that fans need to have everything of it.

I only buy my games if the initial game is worth it and I won't touch dlc unless the game really impressed me (I picked up every bit of mass effect dlc for both games, and all the Resi 5 stuff for example). I notice they seem to target online multiplayer more with maps and stuff, luckily I prefer my multiplayer on pc.

I think that DLC definitely has the potential to get out of hand, especially when the game developer makes the ending of a game a cliffhanger and then releases new episodes via DLC. It can just be a way for developers to get more money out of you. The game can end up, in the long run, costing 100 dollars instead of the original price tag of 60 dollars.

[QUOTE="Senor_Kami"]Who's acting daft? You said that future people won't be able to play current gen games because of DLC. StopThePresses

I've always hated DLC and i 've posted my hatred towards it.

Its basically just a way to up game prices to $75+ without actually having that price tag in stores. The only time I really feel DLCs are appropriate or welcome is with RPGS, and only ones that don't feel like they were intentionally withheld from the game to use as a later money maker.

I've basically stopped buying all DLC. I'll buy worthwhile expansions for a PC game, but otherwise no way. A game just isn't worth 100$ of my money.

What is the impact it will have on people who want to play some of today's games years down the road? They can still play the game and enjoy it the same as people can today.
