what do you think of DLC?? i hate it btw.

so no we are getting our games drop by drop, we pay 60$ then 10$ them another 10$....those damn companies are sucking our money, and you costumers are letting them, no you are asking them to, gamers are now asking developers to make DLC for the games b4 they are even out, how stupid is that?? we deserve to have our full games, i miss those days when we had our full games at day 1, no complaints.

Some companies have AMAZING DLC deals, gears with all fronts (19 maps and a deleted chapter, thats $1 an item), GTA with the episodes, others have very meh content(Mass Effect) or content I refuse to support (1st day map packs)

costumers are doing it? damn them!

anyway it depends, i have played bf 43 more than any other game i've bought this year and it was a measily $15

I like good DLC, dislike bad DLC.Shafftehr

Mixed feelings.

I don't mind paying for extra content that a dev puts out to keep a game interesting for longer. The DLC for GTA4, Fallout 3, and Oblivion all look like decent additions for people that aren't ready to shelve their game just yet. And RockBand's DLC is godly. I definitely see high value there.

I DO mind paying to unlock content that is already on my disc. EA sports has been really bad about this. And I'm sure there are others.

As long as it's well-made DLC, I don't mind helping pay the developer's bills.

Same here. RE5 was like that too

I hate what it's becomming. I gurantee, it's going to get to the point where you'll buy a full priced game, play it, and then get a message saying you need to download the last chapter fr an additional fee to see the ending.

If it's to add a couple feature to extend the lifespan after the game's been out for a while, fine. But the fact that DLC is available from day 1 (or sometimes even before the game launches) is scary. Developers shouldn't deliberately be leaving stuff out of the game just to charge us more for it.

It depends. If it comes out right after the game was released then I don't like it (if I have to pay for it).

It just comes to this problem:

DLC is abused.

Sometimes they are overpriced, sometimes they are locked, sometimes they are taken out of a game to make a quick buck. The bad amount of DLC far outweigh the good stuff.

And I don't agree with this poll. Why would anyone generalize all DLC as "I want it on my disc day one"? DLC is a great way to add to a game far after games have already been created.

I am personally thrilled for the Water DLC in LittleBigPlanet for example.

DLC day one for COD MW2 on the other hand really has me facepalming DLC.

Again, it seems that there has been so much bad DLC that it has ruined its image, but I think there's a ton of good add ons out there that really add so much more value to a game.

it awesome. adds life to an old game

I depends on what kind of DLC it is.

If it could have been included in the disk, but they keep it off and charge for it, I Hate it.

If it expands the fun and content of the game, I like it and I'll pay for it.

I like the idea of it, but... I think its too expensive, $10 for another 2 to 3 hours of play or $6 for 2 maps is too much for me, and some devs are cutting content from the game to sell as DLC, I haven't really bought much DLC but I would if it was much cheaper

If it's worth it then yes, but it seems like developers don't understand how to give fans the best bang for their buck. For example charging me $3 per map is stupid when the full game only costs $3 per map, and it includs a full single player campaign. It's the same thing w/ single player DLC. DCL w/ 5 hours of gameplay for $10 is stupid when the $60 retail copy has 30 hours of gameplay, and has multiplayer to boot.

Also considering I buy most my games at a major discount DLC is an even worse deal. Hell I'd be paying more for the GTA expantions than I did for the whole game.

Maybe one day DLC will be worth it, but I highly doubt it seems people are buying crap left and right.

I love it.

For a few bucks you get to expand on your favourite games.

I gladly bought the CoD4 map pack and all of the Killzone 2 map packs.

I'm real picky when it comes to DLC but I'm glad the option to add to my purchases are there.

Rock band DLC model = Good

Crapcom DLC model = Bad

See that reminds me where the hell is mech assault? microsoft has a mech warrior game coming out, but mech warrior always sucked, mech assault was better. original xbox had way better games.smokedagoodyo

Depends on the DLC, like fallout dlc is worth is but, things like rockband/guitar hero songs arent really.

For $60 + tax a game should have all the content on the disc unless it's a game like RB or GH for extra songs etc.

COD4 had what 15 maps online? That's a lot yet I ended up getting bored of them after awhile so it was nice of IW to release 4 new maps to try and make things feel a little more fresh.

It really depends. I don't mind Halo 3's dlc because they are maps, they freshen up the experience and they don't come out ever month. But I can't stand it when games get a map pack a month after release, Like Gears 2 or CoD WaW, I hate it even more when there is day 1 DLC.

I love it when its free like in Bad Company and Left4Dead. Ill never pay for a DLC

i like free dlc, i haven't seen any dlc yet that i would pay for (unless you count the fury expansion for wipehout hd which is literally a new game worth of content)

It depends, I won't pay for costumes and stuff like that, but for new maps I will because playing the same maps over and over get tedious over a while, however my gripe is that once there are new maps it takes a while for them to show up on servers because not everyone has them, I'm looking at you Killzone 2, but other than first person shooters, some RPGs have whole new story missions to add to the experience, is it expensive? Yeah, but if you're getting your money's worth and you are supporting a company that develops games you like, I don't see the harm there

My view is going to be extremely biased at this moment in time, seeing as i brought L&D, despite the fact it not even working. So in all, its terrible.

Also, its pathetic i find it aswell. Ok, i have respect for maybe a few DLC's. Despite how much L&D has ****ed me around, i can see from reviews, videos etc that its a totally different game to GTA, therefore, it deserving its own release.

CAPCOM! on the other hand, are terrible. I had so much respect for them, until this gen. Making us pay for content thats already on the disc?! That's extremely low.

The way i see it. I have no issue if it couldn't be put into the final product, and is a well polished piece of DLC, like Fallout and GTA, but some companies try to exploit people so much, its beyond.

Where do people get this idea that you aren't getting the full gamein most/some cases? Some of the DLC is actually extra to what would have normally been released, not something always held back just to charge for later. :?

I feel indifferent towards it.

i disagree. if they put it on the disc for the game and its done at the end of the dev time, then you charge extra for it on top of the game then i think you're not getting the full game. RE5's mp is a good example of this, this stuff is obviously done for milking the consumers. if it continues in this direction then you'll need to pay $60 for the disc, then $10 for each level on the disc, then god forbid you get a weapon or item in the game you need to use, well they'll charge for that too "you found a life potion, if you would like to have this life potion please purchase it through live/psn for only $4.99"
