Now this goes for all games in general. DLC is a great way to enjoy the games we love even more. In fact when it was first a thing, it felt like a dream come true. Instead of waiting 2-5 years for the next installment, expand the games we are already playing after a year or 2 from its retail release.

But there is a huge problem and its been going on for awhile now. Its DAY 1 DLC! WTF? I mean dont get me wrong i'll spend a couple extra dollars especially to get extra feats like i've done in the past but Day 1 DLC is a disgrace...

Why is it a Disgrace? Cuz technically we have to pay $70-$80 for a game (the entire game per say) that literally could have been in it from the very start. Lots of FPS seem to do this the most. Maps/etc can be placed in a complete game but imo i think they hold out (not everybody) just so they can charge you an extra $10 down the line wheter its day 1 or month 2 dlc.

Another big example of a big F*** You and give me more money (despite it not being Day 1 DLC) would be PSASBR. You get 20 characters with no unlockables but instead 2 characters in 2 months after release. If SSB did a u-turn with SSB fr WiiU/3DS and had no unlockables and every character is DLC instead, there would be outrage!!!

Not all DLC is bad, giving us DLC for games to proceed in playing games is fine. As long as it really is EXTRA, instead of not giving us a complete game!

Some Day 1 DLC isnt bad, Fire Emblem Awakening did a approach with FREE DLC in the game that kinda had nothing to do with the plot, and added more for a mere $2 (comes in packages) instead of the rip off $10-$20.

Mario Golf (3DS) can be argued about since its day 1 dlc with alot of content, but im not really big on it so there's that. NSLU was great cuz it was an entire new game and for $20 (eshop) or $30  for retail.

Now games like MK8 will be fine with DLC in the future, but if its day 1 dlc then that literally could of been added to the game but instead want to charge us more than  a $60 game!

DLC has its pros but has its flaws as well!

Opinions on the matter?

Agreed and so is On-Disc DLC

Don't go too easy on Nintendo just because it's Nintendo. Day 1 DLC is day 1 DLC.

I think DLCs as a whole is a pure rip off. One day DLC is dumb but also smart because people actually eat that shit up.

On disc DLC is worse. I don't mind Day 1 DLC where it gives you things that are unlockable (like cars in a racer or a uniforms in a sports game).

That reminds me of that bloody Sonic 2 Pinball stage that was on the Sonic Generations disc. There was so much potential for Sonic Generations DLC but instead they only gave us 1 DLC pack that wasn't even a full stage and was also already on the game disc..

More against exclusive dlc content.. Wished I got the 360 version of Assassins Creed 3 so I would have finished it 30 minutes earlier..

true that, i might up mistranslated that heard with mario golf the dlc is an entire brand new 18 courses.

Wat i mean is if its so much content than just some maps/modes and feels like a brand new game (ex NSLU), then its not so bad... But i cant tell cuz i kno nothing on it was wat i was basically saying!

Day 1 DLC is nothing other than a cash grab from the publisher. If its complete enough to ship alongside the base game, it should be in the base game.

Firstly, Mario Golfs Day 1 DLC is total BS and so Im not buying the game.
Yes I agree that Day 1 DLC that isnt free is BS, however I am also ok with small items of DLC being there day 1 for people who buy collectors editions of games. Its nice to have an exclusive in game item when I buy my $100+ version of a game.
