There was a time when if you bought a game and played it to completion, if you wanted more game you could do only one thing; wait, and hope a sequel or possibly an expansion pack was released. Everything was fine with this until the internet came along and offered up new opportunities for developers to offer additional game content via downloadable content (DLC.) Oh, and make money. Lots of money. About $875 million a year a year in fact. A figure that is growing annually.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still far into the future fans have been taking matters into their own hands with projects like Skyblivion.
Skyblivion remakes Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, and the huge mod is nearing completion, but the team could use some assistance.
Depends you got DLC like "Undead Nightmare" for "Red Dead Redemption" which adds hours of new content to your game. But then you got crap like costume packs for "Street Fighter X Tekken" which is merely cosmetic and adds nothing to the game at all. Also i know people are gonna bring up that characters for Street Fighter are worth it. LISTEN gamer zombies having disc locked content is "NOT" i repeat "NOT" DLC. that is content you bought with your game disc that is locked and greedy companies are making you pay a premium to use them, so instead of paying 60$ for a game you're paying 80$. I don't understand why these dumb-asses continually support a company that is (well to be blunt) raping you up the ass.
Yes, if it ADDS to the game like GTA Liberty City Stories.
No, if it COMPLETES the game like Street Fighter costumes/character, AC memories, any map pack within the first 4 months of release, weapons, skins, characters, etc.
Note: it also depends on when it's released.
expansion packs are infinately better
dlc is almost always crap
Dumb Lasminute Cashin
DLC that isn't free is overpriced. FACT.
Well, the picture looks nice.
