DLC, Not Really Worth It

"DID YOU BUY THE NEW DLC JROCK?"   A question often asked to me by friends who play the same games that I do. My answer is always "no". Seeing that the rise in video game prices over the last year or so in Canada, I just can't justify spending an additional $39.99-$49.99  for season pass content on top of the $79.99 I am paying for a video game before DLC. To me that is fucking insane and I find it crazy that these developers get away with hosing us for more money! Why do they get away with this? Well it's because we are all pretty much suckers and need to have the latest content to satisfy us or is it just we don't want to be playing video games alone while our friends have the latest DLC?     I am pretty sick of video games releasing with bare bones. Which seems to be every video game out right now. Well there are some developers who actually give us free content and WE THANK YOU! Unfortunately the majority of developers just want to ride out the cash camel for as

In my country, buying DLC costs as much as an entire new game. Physical-PC copies are massively cheaper than Steam which just started using Rupees.

With that being said, I wait and only buy GOTY editions. Last DLC I bought was ME3Citadel because it was worth it.

JROCKNXL3603d ago

hey Kev, I bought quite a few games from amazon that were $49.99 and pre orders. was actually shocked they had a deal like that on their website. WOW Shubhendu_Singh that is insane that your DLC costs the same as a game. the crappy this about GOTY is you have to wait so long to play unfortunately. I wonder what other countries are paying as well.

mogwaii3603d ago

In the case of the witcher 3....a resounding YES!!!
That is dlc perfectly done, especially blood and wine which is basically like getting the witcher 3.5, amazing stuff!

JROCKNXL3603d ago

how much was the DLC going for? did they do a season pass?

mogwaii3603d ago

They did, not sure how much is was originally but i got both in a bundle recently for $36 aus, even at full price it would be worth it, brilliant dlc.

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger2296d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook2296d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux2296d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook2296d ago (Edited 2296d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

SpaceRanger2296d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux2296d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow2296d ago (Edited 2296d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

Exvalos2299d ago

Omfg lmao!!!!! Never a more perfect time to say that

badz1492298d ago

Father__Merrin2299d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard2299d ago (Edited 2299d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky642299d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky642299d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r2299d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble2299d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

2299d ago
JackBNimble2299d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
