paid DLC will keep being made because you people buy them. Console gamers are getting ripped off when they buy severely over-priced DLC.

PC gamers have it great, almost all their DLC is completely free - and the ones that aren't free are usually from free-to-play games.

While people bought those COD4 maps for $10, Infinity Ward released them for free on PC.

 

I never said I didn't enjoy it Shio, we all CHOOSE to pay for it so no we're not being ripped off.

 

and bully for you, why are you even on this website again? must be hard seeing how popular consoles are compared to PC gaming ..

I've never even heard of The Maw..whats that?

I agree though..I'd rather never get DLC and have studios working on and releasing full games quicker.

 

A great platformer, with 3 DLC epiodes. Its about a little alien and he has his pet Maw (blob) that has to eat up all the creatures. I'm not explaining it well enough! Here is a video ...

DLC is fine and all that. I would just say if it's a game I only moderately enjoyed (and therefore have no intention of buying DLC for), it's a real pain when they bring out DLC with achievements, it screws up my completion percentage for that game :(

 

Woo glad to know I'm not the only one that cares about completion percentages and all that!

 

I really only ever buy games I enjoy (except Oblivion) so although I do enjoy the DLC sometimes there is just too much. Like Fallout 3 for instance ..

I think DLC is a good thing, it keeps companies from constantly releasing IP year after year without making any real strides in gameplay and such.

I would rather spend $10 on DLC then $20-70 on a yearly release of IP.

There is a lot of it, but if you are a fan of the game it is a good way to keep the game fresh.

 

I agree somewhat, DLC works for some games and not for others, the GTA DLC for instance looks great, the Fable II DLC hasn't worked out so well though ..

on PS3 you can get the platinum simply by beating the original trophies, not added ones.

Halo Wars Strategic Options DLC Announced

04-21-2009, 1:19 PM by Aloysius

Halo Wars, the best selling real-time strategy game on any current generation console, mixes up the battlefield like never before with the Strategic Options Game Add-on Pack, available in the coming weeks exclusively on Xbox 360®.

Strategic Options ushers in the next wave of battle for Halo Wars with three new game modes which dramatically change the multiplayer experience and challenge you to rethink your battle tactics. All 3 game modes will be available in Skirmish or Multiplayer game types.


  • Keepaway Mode: This is the Halo Wars adaptation of "Capture the Flag." Teams battle it out to capture a free-roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points before the other team. Capture three to five sentinels to claim victory.
  • Tug of War Mode: This mode is all about having a stronger army than your opponent. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings, and resources left standing in the end.
  • Reinforcement Mode: All active battle units are provided in successive waves. Adapt to their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy.
Strategic Options also adds four new Achievements worth a total of 100 points:
  • One and Done: Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary A.I.'s
  • Pull Hard, Pull Deep: Win and never trail in a Tug of War game
  • Freak on a Streak: Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game
  • Living Loving Bug: Obtain a Scarab during a Reinforcement game

Thanks! This should get me back into Halo Wars, this is the kind of DLC I like ..

oh that sucks.
Do they use the modified achievement values? Because i would just recommend non dlc games.
remember that others will have to do it as well, and if you use the modified values then it should probably add a lot to the multiplier.
