I don't like the idea of DLC. At the same time, it is necessary for keeping game prices low. I just wish more developers would take the route of Halo 5 where you can unlock things through cash or you can play the game and earn the same rewards as you play. That way you can finance DLC and keep it free.

Why is everyone complaining, these practices became common practice years ago. Season passes and dlc are getting better now, they are extending the life of the product and also to some extent slowly down pre owned sales. Now more people are holding onto their games so they can play the dlc packs instead of selling the game as soon as they finish it.

Thats terrible

The only thing that upsets me about this is that fans are greedy as fuck and don't want to support the developers who gave us a massive world with enough content to go past the asking $60 price. Now they are giving us even more content to justify the size of their game and the work that went into that game.

That being said I am disappointed that it's an all or nothing deal. I really want to buy the story package with the extra dungeon but I don't care about the shirt, harder difficulty, or the extra challenge shrines. That being said everything for $20 is a steal considering the final package being story content and dungeon is often priced at $15-20 in most games anyways. So we're actually getting A LOT of value for $20 in terms of DLC price. This is a very, very good deal and a very low price point. I don't think people are looking at the value of what we are getting, how long this game has been in development, how expensive the game probably is, nor the level of quality this game will most likely be upon launch. Some games are worth far more than the $60 price point. It's simply that simple. There are actually a few companies that do DLC a premium prices not to rip people off, but because their development cost is higher than the MSRP of the game. This also protects the staff working at the company so they aren't let go. While it's quite obvious Nintendo has more than enough money in the bank that this isn't the case, some 3rd part developers are not as fortunate if they want to live up to the quality they are known for.

The way I view DLC in the board view of things. It's an opportunity to TIP the developers for their hard work and potentially fantastic content. It's not a mentality that is often viewed by many gamers, but it's one that I feel that should be shared. You often tip for good service, so why not tip for a fantastic product that thousands of man hours went into to provide you a form of entertainment?

just post em a check.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I don't care either way, but I do feel they should announce this type of aditional content after the game releases, even if they have been working on it for a while. Some people get the idea that they are playing an incomplete game.

This

I dont know why is so hard for these companies to wait one or two months before announcing these stuffs.



Just hoping the base game is worth the asking price. If not, I'll have to hold off for a better deal.

Its a shame, à game delayed again and again to announce DLC that could have Been in thé game for some and offered for free for others ( like for example Gravity rush offzring thé Big march DLC to compensate the delay )

This is disapointing, even more when it involves à new difficulty that should have Been in the game, thats a shame to force gamers who Want à challenge to Pay, this killed m'y hype à lot

It has blemished Nintendos reputation for me, As the company who created the seal of quality they choose now to ruin that, and too think I was gonna buy a switch for this game. Every announcement they make repels me from it. I now want to pay Nintendo to keep the switch away from me.

So you are saying that Mario Kart 8 and ssb4 are bad because of dlc?



Announcing it before the game releases, and that it exists for this game.

Why is that terrible? 



I need more information...but I honestly don't know enough to care yet. Nintendo's foray into DLC has left me more satisfied than dissatisfied so far...so if that keeps up, I doubt I'll be disappointed.

I honestly don't get the complaint about the timing though. To me, it's basically them saying they play to continuously support the game after launch. That's only a plus in my book. *shrugs*
