It seems like every game has DLC (Down loadable content) these days. Sometimes DLC can be acceptable in certain games but common DLC in single player campaigns, that is just wrong!
Honestly I don't mind DLC in the online components of games as long as the DLC does not throw off the balancing in the game. For example map packs in a first person shooter like Killzone 2 or Call of Duty, those are completely fine, they just help extend the replay value of the game which is what the gamers want. But some games like Assassins Creed 2 having parts of the campaign missing, which have to be purchased as DLC is completely unacceptable! Personally I like to Know that when I drop $70 (taxes in Canada do not help game prices at all) on a game I am getting a full game that has a decent length and quality, especially concerning single player games since it seems like single player campaigns are getting shorter and shorter these days. In the future I don't want to be constantly doing micro-transactions for my games, because that will just allow the developers to potentially rip us off and I am pretty sure nobody wants to be spending $100 on a game due to DLC that is necessary to complete the gaming experience.
I'm spending enough money on games as is - I will never pay extra for things they should have included in the first place. Just a way to make that extra buck. Greedy Bums!
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't like the idea of gettin ripped off
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's absolutely infuriating to have to buy information that is downloaded to my console which might or might not fritz that is supposed to be part of the game in the first place... Gah. And I was looking so forward to AC2, too... x.x It doesn't help when people like me are completely broke and can't even buy the DLC. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm broke to and unemployed ahaha so I can't exactly get all the DLC :(
