Do you buy DLC? POLL

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"][QUOTE="vashkey"] You pay for whats in the box.Hanass

$60 for a game is already WAAAAAAY overpriced. On top of that you don't mind paying for stuff that's supposed to be already included with the game? Rich people these days...

I dont understand why people dont like DLC.

Last gen you bought a game and played it. You piut up with the little bugs. And after a while the same old mpas got boring and so you stopped playing altogether.

But now your still getting the same amount of content as you would last gen. But we dont put up for bugs, we gt them fixed. And if you get bored of maps online, but still love the gameplay, you can extend the life of the game for as little as £5.

The KZ2 DLC, COD4 DLC, warhawk DLC, all extended the life of those games so much.

Yeah sometimes we hear about DLC being made before the game launches but at the end of the day we cant ask that each game comes with 30 maps and no omore are made. We get a good 6 or so to start and if we want more we have the option.

I don't know, 2005? I'm well aware that games were actually more expensive last gen if take into account the inflation; that still doesn't make this gen less overpriced.

[QUOTE="vashkey"][QUOTE="Hanass"]

So you don't pay for your games?

Hanass

Ok then. If we go by your logic, any patch must cost money.

Some DLC might be worth it but €6 for 2 maps isn't(KZ2).Infact most map packs aren't worth it.

The only DLC I have purchased were the two released of Mass Effect and Battlehorn Castle/Frogspire for Oblivion.

I'm a young student with no job. But that's totally irrelevant; even if I were a multi googleplexionaire, overpriced is overpriced.

Don't buy it. You want me to buy extra content then put it into an expansion pack or give it out for free.

Well, I'd say DLC is generally a little over priced myself. But I don't think it should be free either(unless of course the developer wants it to be free).

Only thing I have ever bought is the MGS4 LBP pack. Only reason I bought it was because it came with designed levels and the gun. Most of the stuff is a ripoff and should not cost anything.

I only download free DLCs (Bad Company, Left4Dead, etc). Still i would pay for it if i loved the game enough

I guess it's OK to blow up the White House then. As long as I don't kill more people than the World Trade Center, I should be fine.

Non-free DLC is very very bad when released alongside a game, or immediately after it.

Whenever this topic is discussed I see two things that are repeated every time that I find silly:

"All DLC should be free" or "The DLC should be included in the game"

DLC is extra content. It is made by people who do it to get paid, it's a JOB....Thinking that you should get free content just because you bought a game is absolutely ridiculous. It's EXTRA, meaning no, it shouldn't be in the game because it's EXTRA CONTENT. Now, it is true that there are some publishers that try to sucker you into buying crappy DLC, but just like everything else in life you should be smart enough to know the difference between a good deal and crap. It's amazing how out of touch with reality some people are about this stuff.

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"] Over priced by what comparison? Seriously, you haven't a clue what you are talking about.KingTuttle

Your first sentence doesn't make any sense.

So even if it's actually worth 10 cents, the $2.50 gas station is still not overpriced? Got it.

[QUOTE="Hanass"]

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"] If it's overpriced then you have a comparison. Like when you go to all the gas stations around your town it's $2.50. But this ONE store charges $10.00. That's overpriced and a comparison. Get it now? KingTuttle

So even if it's actually worth 10 cents, the $2.50 gas station is still not overpriced? Got it.

I fail to see why this is helping your argument. There's currently not enough demand for video games, so they HAVE to lower their prices in order to stay in business. Just ask Sony and their PS3.

Yes I do but depending if it's good and the price.

[QUOTE="BoloTheGreat"][QUOTE="vashkey"] Or buy an expansion pack?KingTuttle

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"][QUOTE="BoloTheGreat"] Most DLC is like 1/2 an expansion pack, well ok 1/4 of an expansion pack in most cases and about 1/16 in other (im looking at you Halo 3 maps). Most of this stuff was free in the past and it has only become paid for content due to the closed nature of services like XBL. Most of this BS is free on the PC (one way or another....)BoloTheGreat

[QUOTE="vashkey"][QUOTE="KingTuttle"] Ever play Battlefield 2?BoloTheGreat

never bought any DLC. I have come close to buying the prince of persia and the Mass Effect DLC, but I think the first DLC I'll buy is if they come out with something for demon's souls. I voted no.

It's a trend to scam extra money that should have been on the disc to begin with.

Jelley0

I haven't bought any DLC yet. I just don't want to put in the money to purchase it. Maybe if it offers enough and I want to continue with the game I'll get it someday, but so far I haven't gotten any yet.

Considered the Fable 2 and Mass Effect content, also The Shivering Isles pack which is something I really want. But its still $30 on PSN and I'm not dishing that much for it.

Zassimick

I buy the DLC that is extra levels or missions or whatever, not DLC that is extra cars, guns, outfits or other crap. I've downloaded the DLC for fallout 3, army of two, mirror's edge, fable 2, gta 4, mass effect, lost odyssey, and the force unleashed and enjoyed them all.
