DLC Only Games

Do you purchase games if they are DLC only? I personally prefer a hardcopy and it sucks because a couple good games have been dlc only and it's the reason I skipped them like LIMBO,Infamous Festival Of Blood and now I Am Alive.... I did manage to import Ratchet And Clank Quest For Booty Hardcopy.

I would much rather have hard copies of games but I DO buy some DLC games that I just know I won't be able to get a disc for. Out of the 248 PS3 games I own about 10 to 15 of them are DLC games.

I will download games, if they look good and get good reviews. I usually delete them when I am done. If I want to replay them at a later date I will just re-download them. You are allowed three downloads before you have to rebuy.

I don't mind. Even for hard copy games. I recently got RE5: Gold Edition from the PSN for $20

I much prefer hard copies, and I hate digital distribution, I hope it never becomes the norm. I like being able to actually OWN and have in my possession a hard copy of a game. And with digital distribution, there would be no more used games or borrowing games from friends.

Eh, 99% of DLC games are crap. (My opinion)

If the game is available as both versions, I'd definitely go for the physical copy. But I don't mind downloadable games, and there's some really great ones you'd be missing out on if you refuse to buy digital-only games: Castle Crashers, Trine, Clash of Heroes, Outland, Wipeout HD, etc.

Wipeout HD is digital only?

Prefer Hard copy but doesn't really matter to me. If I want to play it, I will buy it.

I don't have a problem with DLC only games.

From a packrat perspective, it's nice to have a physical copy of the game but I'm not going to say no to playing Limbo because I can't have a piece of plastic in my hands.

What does piss me off is buying a $60.00 hardcopy of a game and then there being a gig or so of patches that are required to make the game acceptable. Ugh.

perfer hardcopy, i dunno, just dont like having actual games as a dlc. as for like game add ons and such, dlc is fine though.

I love it. Hard copies take up valuable shelf space and I always have to clean my cat's poop out of them. I hope digital distribution becomes the norm for gaming and destroys used copies and borrowing from friends, as those two methods of playing games are essentially piracy.

.....

don`t take this the wrong way.. but, REALLY?!?!?! I may agree with used copies, no as piracy, but retails get way too much advantage of that. But borrowing from a friend? Guess u always had so much money that could get any and as many games, or you prefer to sacrifice yourself and don`t play the game? bc this is piracy? I don`t borrow games, i have the money to buy as many as I want, now at days; and never was really a limit.. but REALLY?!?!?!

also, I dunno if u r an "old-gamer", but you don`t feel any kind of nostalgia for a old cartrige? (oh forget it, i can`t spell that world :lol: ) ... by now a PS2 game on my shelf look so nice, and give me this ... "hmmmm, let me pick this old game and play some old graphics, with somehow clunky controller in all it amazing glory" .... no? nothing? A kitty just die/....

oh well... all with their own.. :(

No I haven t bought DLC only games. I did forPSP go but not PS3.

I heard LIMBO is supposed to be coming in a hardcopy soon.

I never have and never will buy digital only games or any sort of DLC, why the hell would I want to pay money for a game I don't really own and can't sell and can't lend to friends? Physical copies are the obvious superior choice, the day digital distribution is the only way to buy new games will be the day I stop buying any new games.

I'm with you on this one.

The only thing I could add is that I hope PSN's digital distribution becomes a lot more "efficient" (i.e. games like Infamous CAN'T cost 20 bucks! :shock: And games like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune should have a digital version by now!).

I don't mind buying add-ons at all I'm all for it Heck I recently got the inFAMOUS 2 character skins bundle its just games I have a problem with I would rather have a disc that I can pop in and out I also enjoy having the Box art and even the booklets even though I never read them.

I prefer disk based games, but if a game is less than $20 I'll buy the DLC version. Any higher and I'll buy it on disk because you can't resell DLC.

Meh I have like 5 DLC games, South Park Tower Defense, Scott Pilgrim, Trials HD, and a couple more.

I don't mind. I've been dying to play LIMBO and Outland but I don't have enough money in my PSN wallet right now.

Do you have a (kinda) good PC?

I will download games, if they look good and get good reviews. I usually delete them when I am done. If I want to replay them at a later date I will just re-download them. You are allowed three downloads before you have to rebuy.

Reason #4080 to go disc over digital if possible. I didn't even know there was a download limit on the same console.
