You saw what I did, therefore it did work.

No. For it to work it would've had to make sense with what I said. It didn't.

I said DLC should be free, you said all their games should be free then. Those two things don't go hand in hand. If a developer makes a game, it should have everything the developer wanted in it. Nothing less. Nothing should be made into DLC to get a quick buck.

Same goes for if a developer comes up with something for a game that's already out. Okay, add it in as DLC, but make it free. We already payed for your game(s), we shouldn't have to pay more for that same game.

How does not paying for a game at all make any sense in that situation?



A product is made to be bought. They make a game, they expect it to be bought. They make DLC, they expect it to be bought. Tis that simple! You not liking DLC for whatever reasons changes this not!

It seems you really aren't getting what I'm saying, Delphin.

I'll leave it.

What are these many games? I feel most of their games wouldn't make sense with DLC. Certainly not Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, or Animal Crossing among others. Plus it's not like they have to make DLC for every game even if they can. They could just move on to the next project, which right now makes sense considering the Wii U's situation.

Almost any game can fit with some sort of DLC (perhaps not story-driven linear games), even those you mentioned. You may not like the idea, but they could have done all sorts of things with those games: another mansion to explore in Luigi's Mansion, more courses in Paper Mario, extra levels for SM3DL or extra courses in MK7, they just decided to not do it for some reason.

Are you serious, Delphin? I dropped out of the discussion because you are hard to discuss with. Not because I have no back-up. (Since I clearly posted back-up. You know, the post before I dropped this discussion.)

You weren't going to listen to anything I said, so there was no reason to continue on.

I think if they're going to do retro tracks as DLC it should be free, but I would pay for more new tracks further down the line.

For example, do an additional four retro cups and four new cups in the 12 months after release, but release one free retro cup every month over a four month period, then release the four new cups together as a "Grand Prix" paid DLC pack. That's the approach I'd take, anyway.

Always wished for DLC tracks for Mario Kart Wii instead of the lame "challenges" we got.

MK games are some of the best games ever, but once you've played it to death, know the ins and outs of every track and are playing obscenely well you crave more tracks. I don't mind how they do it, retail discs containing additional tracks, dlc, whatever.

Or...... lets be open minded about this: how about a track editor? Create and upload your own tracks which can be played offline or online - thus infinite tracks - if you want Baby Park or Snes Rainbow Road, make it - if you have your own bold vision of a tough track, make it. It would be a switch on or off feature to be used by experts. Much less irritating than Mirror Mode and with infinite potential.


A track maker would be godsend, but I think it'd also be very complicated both to implement and to use. Then again I believe LBP Karting had a track creator, and if so then there's no reason Mario Kart can't have one aswell. We probably won't get one in MK8 though.

Now that you can race upside down etc it might be too complex, but even if the feature was quite limited and you could only adjust the length of track, where the corners are and the angle of the corners with a couple of fixed templates for tunnels and loop the loops I would be a happy man.

Sadly, very unlikely.



Too much planning, and you'll never get anything done.

I never said I wouldn't like it ya foo! I'm all for DLC, I just didn't see how they could do it for certain games is all. You're right that they could essentially have DLC for all their games, which would be uber cool imo, but like online in general, DLC is still new to them. Plus like I said they're rushing to get games out there, so there isn't much time for it right now.

Of course I'm hard to debate with! It's very difficult to argue against logic & reason afterall!
But anyway, if for whatever reason you can't properly defend your claims, simply don't make them. It's better than looking like yet another coward.
