Have you ever ran across some DLC you found to be quite expensive? It didn't have enough content to justify the high price. You can share that here. INB4COD I'll start off with Lara's Shadow and Beneath the Ashes. 800msp(10dollars) each. They weren't that good tbh. They were also very short. Made me sad. Your turn.

Lulz Call of Dooty is 60 dollar DLC, and anyone who plays it is stoopid.

I didn't pay for it, since I borrowed my friend copy of 10/10: The Game, but definitely Harley Quinn's Revenge. It's like an hour long and you back track through the area like 3 times. It should be about 400 MS points.

DLC is pretty much always overpriced compared to a full game. Typically you get like 1/10 of a game and pay for ~1/5.

But then again are they really DLC ? They were both also released stand-alone and are more like expansions than DLC.

True. Here is one:

Microsoft Flight DLC just look at this 15 euro/dollars for a plane. Now who would be willing to pay that kind of money for a plane ? Flight (simulation) enthousiasts. And who was this game aimed at ? Casuals. No wonder this game flopped hard.

True. They are a bit more than a few extra sidequests or weapons.

$15 for a three or four multiplayer maps comes to mind with respect to Call of Duty.

Safe to say, not even a Steam sale can save that one! :(

Think I'd rather build another gaming rig with all that cash!

Or perhaps every console released this gen, handhelds included?

Onslaught from BC2 is a rip off for 10 bucks even, 4 slighty altered maps against bots, ROFL. If it had around like 8 maps it would had been amazing for the price.

I'd say about 70% of dlcs out there are bad. One that sticks to me the most is the CoD4 map pack. $10 for two map was too much, plus the maps weren't any good. Second one was Dynasty Warrior Gundam 3. It was $40 for 5 new characters which you can't use online if other people you are playing with didn't have it which was stupid.

Dawnguard. Bought it without doing near enough research. Thought it was going to be something akin to Shivering Isles, I was sorely mistaken. Still decent though.

Most DLC is overpriced, especially map packs. I think Rockstar are the only ones that have gotten it right this gen. Both Undead Nightmare and The Lost and Damned are only $10 and yet they offer an expansions worth of content; around 10 hours of main story missions and 15+ hours with all the extra side stuff. Most of the smaller packs for RDR were around $7 and added ned maps, weapons (both MP and SP), challenges, and new character models. LA Noire's extra cases were $3 a pop and were about 2 hours worth content. You get the idea.

I wouldn't have bought it if I thought it was too expensive, and if I didn't buy it I wouldn't really know how much content it has, which also means I wouldn't know if it was really too expensive.

I just usually avoid DLC.

For some reason I can only remember Broadcast and Creek. Thanks for correction.

Probably because they're the most common in the rotation. I think Killhouse only appeared in the FFA playlist.

Basically all multiplayer map packs that sell for $10 or more. I don't care how great those maps are; they're just not worth 1/6th or even 1/5th of the main game's price.

I'm not against DLC in general, though. It can be a good way to expand upon a game's universe or add a little more content to keep the experience fresh. The last DLC I bought was Dawnguard, and although the $20 price tag was a bit on the steep side, I thought it was a worthwhile addition to the game overall, and I don't regret buying it.

It's a shame MP3's were so crappy, I'd have loved some more single player content for that game.

anything that is over $0.00 is a rip off when you have been exposed to pc mods/add ons/skins/etc..
