the waiting is the hardest part.
That figurine rocks.
On a side note, couldn't they delay the game a bit more and implement the DLC into the game?

Why? The DLC is clearly going to be something along the lines of Left Behind and would spoil the flow of the main story if it was included. I'm completely fine with this type of DLC.

It doesn't spoil anything, at all, to have more content included in the vanilla game. No one is forcing you to play it if you don't like it, as opposed as having to purchase it later if you do like it.

ND would have to delay the game by months in order to put the DLC on the same disc. This isn't the same as other companies with their money grabbing ways, this is ND we're talking about there and it's stor DLC. If you want to complain about something, complain about being able to buy guns in TLOU. That's the sort of DLC I hate.

Well, that's exactly what I said. Couldn't they delay the game some months in order to implement the DLC in it? It would hurt no one.

You just can't do that. The game is 'complete'. The DLC won't be part of the main story arc and will likely follow the exploits of Sully or Nates brother. This is the sort of DLC we want. It's not cutting content from the main game in order to extract more money from the consumer, it's adding a new story to cater to the gamer.

So you want the game to become more expensive for them and be made less expensive for you?

Maybe, but I don't find that unreasonable to wait a bit and incorporate it. Something along the lines of the ps2 version of Resident Evil 4, which added the Ada campaign, plus an Ada minigame and several videos detailing the corporation behind the incidents.
And since that's a revision of a previously released game, another example can be Dead Rising, which features an extra story mode once you get the best ending on the main campaign, and after you finish that extra arc, it gives you even another singleplayer mode for you to enjoy. Or Gears of War: Judgment, despite being unnecesary and at times a cash-grabby game, went and added an extra story arc behind a demanding unlockable requisite, instead of selling it afterwards.
You get my point. These kind of extra things being present in the vanilla games makes them more awesome. Imagine unlocking Left Behind after you beat The Last of Us (without you even expecting that the game would go on after the credits roll): that'd definitively be the sweetest of surprises, wouldn't it?
Despite how much I loved The Evil Within, the game would have been much better had it implemented the DLC beforehand on it (which most of it had ties within the main story), and not forced me to get a Season Pass or the content itself. Maybe I miss too much surprising unlockables.

Who wouldn't? Or you'd prefer less content and pay more on the long run?
