TheCrapgamer over at GxC writes: I can remember back when I first heard of downloadable content, it was back when I had the original Knights Of The Old Republic on the original Xbox console. I remember not being quite sure what to make of it. Basically all you got was an added space station where you could purchase some rare items. I didn’t even have a gold membership on Xbox Live at that point. So it was pretty cool to still have the ability to get DLC without needing a gold membership. The content itself was free of charge however, so I was all about getting that extra little bit of content.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
YES IT HAS!
Many of DLC packs nowadays are just some pieces of the game that are cut out to be sold later.
Just look at AC.
there are very few DLC packs that are what they are supposed to be. I could name Rockstar packs. They are different.
But most of others are just not worth it.
DLCs are the worst kind of ripoff
I knew it would "go to far" the second it started getting popular. We are now at the point of on disc "DLC" and over priced 15 dollar DLC....thats 1/4th of the game for bonus content that isn't nearly as grand as expansions....
However I guess the old saying goes...dont like it? Dont buy it...and thats what I do.
The dice rolled the moment people accepted early stuff like the infamous oblivion horse texture , and told others "if you dont like it , you can simply not buy it , after all it's an extra!!" .
Giving thus the total and complete licence to publishers to cut off limbs , and decide what's the original content and what's extra .
It's far too late to ask for changes . I no longer give a crap . I buy fighting games chars dlc , and what not for games i care about , and leave the preachy activism to others .
The probable logical next step will be to sell mp and sp separately , and make people believe they are doing a bargain in the process by buying only one of the two .
Hell at first an on the paper it probably will be . Then sp will still get shorter and crappier , with the cost not getting lower for us . Ending up with a game costing more if you buy the two parts , especially along with other dlcs
Yeah the DLC market is oversaturated at this time, granted there is still alot of great DLC being released, but there is even more DLC today that is simply a waste of time and money.
I still think the most fun I ever had with any DLC was the Halo 2 Map Pack back in 2005.
i hate dlc. in the beginning it was alright, developers would sometimes add in new stuff or something and give it to you for free,, but now its out of hand.
its just stupid now, they charge for every little thing in the game. in some games they dont even let you finish the campaign without paying again
