I can't say it really ever bugged me. paided for stuff I don't like I admit. Then again I'm the guy you all hate. I enjoy all my add on for fallout. Give me about the same about of fun time as a movie. Than again with horse armour I had spare point and got it.
If i'm paying $70 + tax for a game i feel my DLC should be free. That being said I think everyone should have a place to live for free. Money is the king of our society, never expect anything to be free.
I see two sides to this. On one hand, I really hate that there even is down loadable content, as it makes me feel that they rushed the game so I didn't get everything that should have been in it from the start. I don't mind waiting if so long as it means higher quality.
On the other hand, after having millions of people play the game, they have a much better idea of how to make the game better. You already bought this game though, so what incentive do they have to bother making that extra new content? Charge for it!
But being on the consumer end, I ultimately side with free DLC. Ideally though, DLC wouldn't be needed. I don't even play a lot of my games online.

Exactly my problem. I got Empire: Total War (PC excusive RTS) and couldn't play it on a friend's PC (so we could play LAN battles after I got my PC working again {windows was dead, which is why I dual-boot with Linux being for online, Windows only for games}) due to some Steam error. Nothing wrong with the game install, just Steam being stupid.LimaBravo said:

. Too slow paced and the factions are all the same really (save for 1 or 2 specialist units in each, like Minutemen). It was a BIG dissappointment after all the time I spent on Rome (Medieval 2 was also lackluster, partly because I am not a big fan of the time period and partly because the imbalance of gunpowder units). Naval battles were OK, but they got boring fast and I couldn't enjoy any land battles.Best enjoyed by people that LOVE archer duels in the other games.
The AI did well, charging in when they were losing hte gunfight and besting my guys in the melee. Though those were small battles, never tried it in bigger battles because I got bored of it too soon.LimaBravo said:
Too many generic units with exactly the same stats breaks realism quite a bit. I don't remember the US having elite guard infantry or the standard line troops being on par with the British.
I never did the campaign, but I didn't expect much from the tech research. I heard it was almost impossible to get the AI to give up some tech info through diplomacy, which is beleiveable since all Total War games have had stingy AI.
You do realize that stuff was a joke right? Its like 2.50 USD. I don't think thats over priced, plus, you don't need itph3onix said:Oh, I didn't know that.Time Travelling Toaster said:Nope it was stand alone DLC, it cost 200MP(?) and did essentially nothing to the game other than make your horse a bit shiner =/ph3onix said:Didn't that come with knights of the nine?Time Travelling Toaster said:Horse Armor for Oblivion >.> I would not fork out money for something that shit
Oh and bethesda... that's bullshit.
yeah that sounds like a pretty messed up system thing. I think that they should just go ahead and make it free. that or make it like $0.50 ea map.
I think you have no idea what happens in the Xbox360 community. LIVE users (myself included) constantly complain about the price of LIVE and DLC, we have been for a long time now. For example: When thousands and thousands of people put "MAKE XBOX LIVE FREE" in their mottos a while back. Its just that Microsoft has ignored us to death and now most people have given up on complaining. Also, it doesn't help that idiots used to go onto the xbox website and complain about every tiny thing i.e; "OMG LIVE IS WAY 2 EXPENSIVES IM BUYIN A PS3 I TORRENT GAMEZ!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!", without giving an actual valid reason or a proper argument.not a zaar said:
Yeah DLC is just getting to not be worth it. Fallout 3's DLC is way overpriced for the length of game added on to it. Though I think the worst offender is Sims 3, they make these stupid (tiki or ancient era)item packs that barely do anything to the game then charge you money and have the gall to call it premium.
I actually had some fuck try to tell me the COD4 maps are on the disc. Bullshit, I've had the game for six months. I'd have played them buy now if they were.
Premium themes are a rip off too. I wanted the Banjo Kazooie theme, but 800 MS points? You must be having a giraffe.
Ya, The DLC stuff is wrong in some cases in my opinion. Stuff like the horse pack and whatnot. But things like Most of the Fallout Expansions and things that add hours of new gamplay, that is worth ten bucks. I have both a 360 and a computer. I used to be a console exclusive gamer, but now I am a PC gamer for the simple fact that the PC has mods. And in my opinion small DLC and whatnot for the PC should be free, or at least cheap. Partly for the fact that in order to keep up to date with your hardware with the newer games you have to fork out hundreds of dollars every year, if not more often. That is my only problem with the PC as a gaming platform, but the free stuff and mods make up for that. I also don't mind DLC so much if I can get it on a disk. I just don't like the idea of the only copy of it being in digital form, I like to have a hard copy just in case. And as for steam, I have heard alot of people complain, I haven't heard much about it though. From the sounds of it you have to log in online to play even a single player game? If so that is cr@p. Not everyone can have access to the internet every time they wanna play a game.
