Funny, but not exactly true. Most DLC is not especially integral, particularly retailer exclusive pre-order bonus garbage.

Just because you think this is the truth doesn't make it true.

It's true if you're referring to Capcom games.

don't know, i still have the feeling that games are "complete" when i buy them even without dlc. people complain a lot about day one dlc but it's not as if i would miss that if i wouldn't know abou it. sometimes i think people only complain because they know there is a dlc, if there wouldn't be a dlc they wouldn't really recognize that they miss something in the game.

but hey gamers, it's your fault that we have so much dlc stuff nowadays, you didn't want to pay more for the games even with a lot of increasing costs for game development so it's you own fault. i mean, what is the difference if i "have to" buy some dlc for 20 bucks or if i would buy a game for 80 bucks nowadays instead of 60 to get the full game with dlc included? i pay even less for games as 10 years or more ago, i don't really see the problem.

gamers are really the only people i know who aren't willing to pay more for their hobby as years ago even when inflation is something everyone should expect..



dont agree with u at all take for  1 example resident evil 4 when the game is completed  look how much tings open up after ! this is how it use to be long time with those kind of games after the main quest they then offer side quest and and other story additional but now instead of that they are passing it of as payable DLc that is being completed the same time as the relevant game . Am not complaining about it cause i have never bought a dlc or add on and dont plan to  ever ! i just thought the pic was very funny but same time tru !

Any other examples ?

open world games and RPGs have a lot to do after you finish the story.
Shooters always stopped after the final mission.
You can still unlock new fighters/stages/outfits in beat'em ups or cars in racers after you've finished arcade mode/career.

You seem to be talking about a very specific kind of games.

i wont go on shooters cause multiplayer wasnt as big as before and most dlc is maps for multiplayer !
true when last i check street fighter and mortal combat where making u buy characters and alternative costumes  that as u said would have been able to unlock long ago !

SO no am not speaking about a specific kind of game

I don't think its true in most cases either. Take AC3 for example. Its DLC is clearly completely different and new things to play and do. I'd wager that the example represented in the image is actaully the rare occurance and not the norm. However, negative feedback always gets the bigger story and views.

Oh I agree it's not the norm, but it's defiantly happening way more than it used to. On disc DLC, really?

While I don't like on disc DLC either, how much of the full game does it represent content-wise ? 1% ? Maybe 2% but that's it.
Just like the retailer exclusive pre-order DLC you're not missing out on anything important.

actually i prefer on disc DLC. It would have gotten made anyway, but if it is on disc at least i don't have to download it and it doesn't slowly fill up my HDD.

but hey, that's only me



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

True that. Plus, they've been doing it since the 90's.

sure but the game itself is still playable and the extra stuff of the past was something only very few gamers even needed. now they give people who don't need all that a game they can play through and be happy with it for the same price as years ago (i even pay less nowadays as 15 years ago) and for those who want more they give us dlc. gamers always complain about almost everything when they talk about developers but they never want to accept they they are probably the reason for some problems in the industry.

they want games which need 5-10x as many people to work on it (and loan costs are a big factor in this branch) but they don't want to pay maybe 20% more for those games then. 

yes we get day one dlc nowadays but why? because otherwise the game can't be profitable nowadays. if they could take 70 or 80 dollar instead of 60 for the games we would probably not have the day one dlc anymore. and i even prefer this new system because i don#t really miss the dlc stuff in most games which means instead of paying 20 bucks more for every game (which would be fair) i pay still the same or even less as 10-15 years ago and only have to buy dlc for very few games like halo. for me, gaming is cheaper as in the past even with some dlc i buy for very few games, not sure what i can complain about that.


u pay less cause u get less nowadays how long are campaings now?  they stick u with nonsense miultpalyer aimlessly killing ! and then brng out dlc that could have been put there in the first place to give the game substance and more to do! thats y i stay away from certain genres  particularly shooters

Aside from Super Turbo Remix Championship Edition stuff, I don't actually remember them being particularly egregious back then. They have gone completely apeshit this gen, though. I don't think it's a coincidence that Inafune, Kamiya, and Mikami all split on them.

like i said, if you as gamer don't want to pay for the increasing costs it's your problem and not the developers fault. you can't expect to get still the same amount of content as 10 or 15 years ago and have 10x as many people working on the game who even need a loan increase from time to time because they also have to live.

i'm pretty sure developers would love to get 100 euro for a game. i'm also sure if they could sell the same amount of games for 100 euro, that we wouldn't have so much dlc nowadays and that we would have maybe bigger worlds in games but they don't get the money and they have to work with what they get or can expect to get.
