Is anyone else getting annoyed with DLCs?

[MikeJahn]

I remember when it started with Oblivion's horse armor mod no one took it seriously but now literally every game has them in batches. Even something as obscure as "Men of war" is releasing DLC "map packs". It's getting to a very annoying point because all the fan boys keep claiming that it's cheaper than buying a cup of coffee except every game has a million of them now - many of the features seem like they should already be in the game and if you don't buy a map pack often you end up being booted in mid multiplayer game. Has to be the most annoying corporate scam ever.

No, you're the only one.

 

[Secretninja]

Yeah dude, wtf is your problem. DLCs give us like twice the game for a fraction of the price.

 

[KalosKagathos]

Even horse armor wasn't that bad.

 

[baronjohn]

I'm not annoyed. DLC proliferation is another sign of the decline, but I was already way past caring before it all started.

DLC is an excellent idea, but it currently has a very poor value per dollar.
If they reduced the price to what the new content was actually worth then i might actually buy it, but at the current prices its just not worth it.

Didn't Realms of Arkania have voice-overs for 15 bucks back in '90s?

I wish Fallout would have had some downloadable death animations for $1.99 a piece.

 

[Topher]

Can't get annoyed with crap I've never bought. DLC hasn't come out for any game I've cared about so I've never even bothered with it.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

I don't care. I have the internet.

 

[ChristofferC]

No I don't let trivialities annoy me

 

[kasmas]

i never pay for dlcs

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I was already annoyed with crap expansions long before this shit happened.

 

[User was nabbed fit]

You might as well be asking if anyone on the Codex doesn't like Dragon Age 2.

 

[DakaSha]

I was already annoyed with crap expansions long before this shit happened.

Yep.. And after that the fact that companies rely on modders to make a shit game decent

The Streamlining will continue.

 

[mysterious-stranger]

DLC that's important to the plot annoy's me *CoughArrivalCough* because I don't have Xbox Live

 

[Trash]

Since day one.

That's not DLC. Besides, shows what a newfag you are when way back at the beginning of the 90's we had speech packs for games like Wing Commander. Back then sound cards were still a rarity and floppies expensive so speech was an optional extra purchase. When CD drives and soundblasters became the norm, they stopped with this.

Arma II, now THAT is a game with DLC....

No point raging about DLC, just don't buy it. Even if you buy the retail game, I urge you to pirate all the DLC that is released. In the past companies would give map packs for free in patches along with extra scenarios, units(remember Total Annihilation and those free units? These days they would be at least $1.99 each!)and so on. As for expansions, back in the day if an expansion 'only' gave you an extra 5-6 hours of gameplay it was derided. I remember MOH Spearhead being panned for being at most 6 hours long yet that's still 2 hours or more longer than a retail game like CoD is now! Fuck them all. Pirate, and if you absolutely need to have the stuff legally eventually then just buy the Gold or Cmplete edition in a year's time for peanuts. Heh, that's also funny. Long ago you'd have to wait years for games to go down in price and more likely they'd disappear never to be seen again, but now you just wait a few months and every second game is in the bargain bin.

I would so buy all of those...

REALLY?!

 

[Commander Xbox]

depends, if its decently long stuff that couldnt have been included in the game because of its size due to disk space and shit it doesnt annoy me. if it could have been included in the game but the publisher decides to nickle and dime people by separating it and selling it off then it pisses me off

 

[J1M]

DLC are cheat codes that you pay for. I don't use cheats.

Buying things enhances my gaming and entertainment experience.
