Forums - Gaming - All Day 1 DLC is a BIG F*** You To Us Gamers, Agree or Disagree? (Releasing A Game Thats Incomplete for Extra $$)

I love Day 1 DLC, On-Disc DLC, and especially Microtransactions. If it was up to me, all 60$ dollar games would come with 10$ worth of content.

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).


Can you elaborate on wat? Cuz i only can think of NSLU and that was one of the best DLC! * Does MH4G count?

disagree. developers finish a game and it goes gold about a month before a release date then they start producing copies of that game and the game arrives at retailers about a week before release. During that time developers had a full month to work on DLC... They can't exactly just add content to a game after it's gone gold. So why not have day 1 DLC. They had a full month to work on it afterall.

If it's content that's locked on the disc however, that's another story.  That is a total ripoff.

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

Hahaha,  the post of the week xD

Don't really care. It's a valid business practice used everywhere. It was already common in anything soft- and hardware before it was applied to games. We should be glad that publisher didn't think of it earlier.

Edit: I just realized you are talking about Day 1 and not on disc DLC.

I'm actually a proponent of Day 1 DLC. I rarely buy DLC because it comes out long after I already moved on with the game. So I'd prefer it to be all Day 1.

Elaborate on what part? Cases of on-disc DLC or cases of Day 1 DLC that isn't terrible?

I'm ok with day one DLC as long as it's free. Heck, I'm even ok with the free dlc getting a price two or three months down the road.
