Top 5 Biggest DLC Rip-Offs

NowGamer: Add-on DLC is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it can lengthen any gamer's enjoyment of a game by providing him or her with great value content. On the other, it's just one big rip-off. Here we list the biggest rip-offs in DLC history...

Yes finally someone else thinks mw2 map packs wer s*** why would you pay $30 for only 6 new maps and four old maps if i wanted to play the 4 old maps all i have to do is pop in cod4.

NegativeCreepWA5693d ago

I don't mind paying $10 for five maps, but I put my foot down at $15 and stooped playing it because of it to.

Kalowest5693d ago

Nice ass scar20.
Thats too much for DLC, I can buy a game or 2 for $30.

Oldman1005694d ago

lol where's the horse armor?

TekoIie5693d ago (Edited 5693d ago )

thought the exact same thing ^^^

CREESH5693d ago

I bought em and couldn't play because nobody else has bought them.

TekoIie5693d ago

that doesnt make them a rip off dude.... They were not overpriced...

Cots15693d ago

Well i agree with creesh very few players playing the dlc, but i got the game a few months after it was out

P_Bomb5693d ago

That can apply to every game, that's why you get em when they're hot. Try the BioShock 2 map pack. Now THAT was a disaster. There's no rotations with the new maps, no filter like KZ2 so if one person doesn't have it then no one can play, and most haven't. Quantum of Solace map pack was bad too.

Kalowest5693d ago

Tons of ppl have the KZ2 DLC maps, it just that same of the original maps are better. The KZ2 maps are cheap/well-priced.

Led-Zeppelin5693d ago

The whole DLC business is a rip-off. Take 1/3 of game out and sell it for $15 a few months later, way to treat your customers.

"Every Single Avatar Accessory Ever, Xbox 360"

How about every PS Home accessory? No need to single out one company when they both do it.

Godmars2905693d ago

Except with the crap from Home you're not paying $4 for a shirt. You can buy virtual furniture sets, animated tattoos, in Home for what a pair of pants costs on XBL.

Though there is the $15 gold suit that rains money.

T9X695693d ago

The shirts and pants are never $4, there always $1-$2, mostly $2, the outfits are what is $4, like MW2 Army outfit, or Halo Armor, things like that. The thing is though, on XBL you're always seeing your friends avatars, you click on their profile, you see their avatar, you scroll through your friends on the dashboard you see everyone's avatar, there's even games you can use you're avatar. So at least if you waste the few bucks people will see it, where with PS Home you NEVER see your friends person unless you're playing Home and they are on.

IMO Home furniture that no one will ever probably see is pretty pointless. If you want to decorate an apartment or something, The Sims 3 just came out.

Kalowest5693d ago

I love my X360 Avatar Accessories, but hate my PS Home/Avatar Accessory. PSHome Sucks.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker133d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92132d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr132d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992132d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani132d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730132d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave132d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde132d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88132d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb132d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh132d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
