Depends if the game is complete or not. DLC for NSMBW would be nice. I wish there were more levels, mini games and a level editor.

Episodic games are pure fail. By the time all episodes release they cost is equal to or bigger than a full price retail game most of the time only the games content is tiny in comparison.

Yep this is where it's at. Episodic gaming is a self isolated package which generally means you are paying for distribution methods each time. Where as DLC episodes only require the same front end making it cheaper.

Just remember there is no standardization on DLC and some companies are going to treat people like crap until some DLC ettiquite forms.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

NO i want the full game when I buy it not oh this is added stuff even though it might have been part of the game in the first place screw that.

Alright as we hear about Sonic The HedgeHog 4 and the failure of Penny Arcade episodic games look even less appealing for me. I mean come on I absolutly hate it when I'm watching a TV show every week just to see the show cancelled and I'm left wondering what was going to happen next. Well thats exactly what happened to Penny Arcade the third episode never happened and consumers who had purchased the two prior episodes were left hanging. So now I hear about Sonic The Hedgehog 4 and wonder why would I want to pay 15-20$ for the first episode of a game, I want the whole game at once not in episodic periods.

Do you have a link to more info about the Penny Arcade stuff.  I never played the games, but I heard that they made a couple.  I read their web comic, but I must have missed that info about their third game getting cancelled.

My feeling on episodic games is the same as yours.  The five Strong Bad games are $10 each.  $50 for the whole set is just not appealing.
