DLC Done Right

"You know what's bull****? A few days after Soul Calibur IV's release, downloadable content was made available. New headgear and costumes to use in the character creator for 100 points. The kicker is that reportedly the download's size has led gamers to the conclusion that you're simply paying for a "key" to unlock content already on the disk. Rumor has it that Vader is on the disk as well and the DLC will be treated in the same fashion. F*** it.

dlc is turning into paying more for what you already bought.

MechaZain6500d ago

I had a different view on how DLC was gonna be when they first talked about it. Stuff like what Namco's doing is lame.

DLC done right is what Burnout has done or what DICE are doing with Bad Company, FREE.

xplosneer6500d ago

I think B:BC Free Conquest should have been there from the start, but I do give them props for responding and doing it anyways. Most just shove it aside.

i'm with shadow. i love what DICE is doing with bad company. i loved gold rush and continue to play it, but not as much as before. when conquest is released i'm sure i'll be back playing that constantly for awhile. same with burnout paradise. it gives the games legs as opposed to giving it all in one big package. as long as it's free, i'd rather developers did it this way because when conquest does get released, there'll be an influx of players as well and the online community will thrive for it.

i thought that the point of DLC was for developers to charge for assets for their game, and that these assets have been in development for a month or 3, guess i was wrong.

shadowghost7526500d ago

I don't mind paying for dlc if its good and if it isn't on the disc!

The only things i have payed for are the two Warhawk expansions and i thought they were worth it but if Yoda is made availiable for the PS3 in Soul Calibur 4 and he is already on the disc then screw Namco Bandai! I just hope Tekken 6 isn't treated in the same way

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing24d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit24d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing24d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9224d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
