I think it's better when there's a bit of a gap between launch and the DLC like this. Day one DLC pi**es me off a bit...

mittwaffen5857d ago

DLC from the getgo would be an extra bonus; since its only SP. Adds alot more replay value to the game.

kevco335857d ago

I don't thonk so personally, I think it just confuses things. This way is better - give people time to get through the game, move on to something else, then come back to it a little later.

Of course, it also means you're less likely to trade the game in so quickly, keeping the retail price high for longer. It's all part of a clever marketing strategy...

Confuses things?

The games already split up in a way that extra content will incorporate perfectly.

Lets just say without saying anything when people finish the game they will wish the DLC was already out versus july 28th

kevco335857d ago

Don't get me wrong, I understand your point, but it's for those gamers such as myself that play many, many games - the game should be a separate act to the DLC, in that the game is played through as one entity and the DLC as another.

And for those who only play a handful of games, and don't regularly keep updated with all the latest news, being confronted with the option for additional content without even having played the game yet can be somewhat confusing.

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8771d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

jznrpg183d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia771d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger770d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie770d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie770d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh770d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
