DLC is the cancer of PC-gaming...

[B@ttery]

So i fell on there and bought my FIRST real DLC pack on BF4. Because i feel that i need something new to play on that online. Also i haven't purchased dlc's on separately on any game. On PC what i have bought... So now my backbone hurt and i hear my self to regret that decision right away. When i push that download button. 

 

So is there any one else who, thinks that this DLC thing. Has gone out of controll, and don't still do DLC's? I promised to my self that, this one is the last one that i ever buy. Now i only focused on GOTY's now on.

 

Also i have started gaming on the PC's golden age of 90's. Back when there wasn't DLC's. And game's published on full game's plus some add-on's. What where mainly done very well and were reasonable priced.

Why is DLC a bad thing?

 

Its anything but bad if its priced right. 

 

Mind you this gives you a nice view on how EA has changed. They haven't even announced a season pass for Battlefront, and they've announced free DLC As well.

[Guest Kloaked]

DLC's are fine when they're priced appropriately or are just given for free since the pack didn't make the launch day.

 

For example: 

 

Evolve is an example of what not to do with DLC. Even their base game is too high of a price for it's content, but lets not get on that.

 

Witcher 3 (so far) is an example of how to do DLC.

[LuX_]

I think that there should be dlc but it should either be free or very very cheap

[WereCat]

Depends. We call everything DLC now days but some game studios actualy make worthwile DLCs that are worth the price as they add a lot of content into the game and arent just skins, weapon packs or boosters. I guess the guys behind Train Simulator are not the ones though... €2300 just for DLCs and that is at 40% discount on Steam right now.. lol.

As long as nothing is cut out of the game to fill a quota for dlc, I'm fine with it. The problem is with day one dlc and when they cut features/content simply to sell as dlc at a later time. When it actually expands on an already self sufficient game, there's no problem and I would gladly pay for more content.

[TheGrim123321]

Skyrim was a great example of DLC.

 

I think the problem is just that EA is trashhhh

[Clyne]

suck you ROM+ubisoft DLC is just one nightmare......

[ImBleu]

DLC is good when it adds to the game. When DLC is instead used to finish the game, then it's crap.

[Fluxx]

I have BF4 on ps4 so I can play with friends and we play on a server that has a massive queue and people with premium get to push in front of the queue. This means it takes on average 20 minutes to get into the server, which is bullshit. So we went and brought the premium edition in store, used the code and took it back and got a full refund.

 

There are some good DLCs but 90% of it is overpriced shit and was just ripped out of the game.

So you mean when a game was broken and there was no fix to it

 

Yeah that was the best time in gaming. 

[Praesi]

DLC´s like the Skyrim ones are good, more like Adons.

Tiny Crap like Weaponpacks ect. are ridiculous and i would never spend money on this kind of shit. Or the Lords of the Fallen DLC with 1 fucking hour Playtime..hell no, no way i would pay for that.

[Totallycasual]

I miss the days when you would buy a game, go home and put it into your console or PC and just play it. First it was the online verification, then it was the small bug patch and on and on and on until today we have a situation where people sell games 90% finished or charge you 100% for 60% of a game then nickle and dime you slowly for the remaining 40%.

How can you even make yourself buy an EA game when you see those 10 editions of one game which are nothing but cancerous DLCs 

[B@ttery]

Yeah Ubisoft is the example of how to do bad DLC's. CD Projekt Red is the right way to do DLC's. Also i didn't remember to mention that there is also right way to do DLC's. My apologies for that. And o'h yes EA has changed their policy on DLC and that's is good. But i have to say that, i would pay more on full game and not take that half polished game on full game price. Also i understand the need of DLC's for game's that are like BF4. When they do consider map pack's and something else. But these i don't like. Where you can buy gold pack's for upgrade weapon's or something, that would literally do right in that way you just game. Because in my youth you didn't have the option to pay to win. And you have to game on skill.

 I remember to think also that, when i tough't buying a BF: Hardline.

I just grab GOTY editions of games when i can, see i had Fallout 3 base game when new as a retail copy, bought the GOTY edition on Steam sale under 5 quid lol.

Yeah that's why i sold my PS4 and bought PS2 back. Now i can just play the freaking game i want. And i don't have to wait to download 5gb's day one patch. 

[leelaa14]

Depends how it's done rather than just being all bad. Battlefield 4 is 2 years old and is still going strong thanks to dlc.
Borderlands 2 dlc is also very good.

If it lengthens the games life then fine, but dlc that is prepared even before a games release is total shit.

Yeah do that also mainly. But in this case it would be so dumb. Because then there isn't player's any more when they decided to put GOTY out... 

[Totallycasual]

Omg reminds me of a problem i had with my Nintendo 64, i was in a very remote place and it took a lot of paperwork and clearance to get such an item but i went ahead and did it anyway. My N64 and the game i had ordered (maybe Majora's Mask or Perfect Dark) arrived and i went to play the game and it wouldn't work, turned out i needed the little memory module thingy that went into the cavity at the top of the console. I had to wait another 2 months for the little thingy to arrive so i could play my damn game!!! 

[Mikjul]

I activated my base copy of Arkham City on Steam.. instant upgrade to GOTY... best free DLC EVER

Those are the best, i have some game's also on Steam what do that.

[Northmountain]

DLC Pre-ordering is the cancer of PC-gaming... 

 

There, I fixed it for you.
