DOWII and it's expansions have done it pretty well, but Space Marine hasn't.Soviet Heavy said:
I think there's now like 2 or 3 paid multiplayer DLC packs for it. For Space Marine it was an insane thing to have several paid DLC packs for a game which really couldn't afford to have it's players divided in the first place.
*Cough* Day one DLC *cough*
Really, for me, the biggest problem is stuff that is overpriced and/or really DOES make you feel like you're getting cut content or that they're way overcharging for little stuff. Like Need for Speed (pick one recent one). "Hey, buy some cars! They maybe took a hundred manhours to create each, but we're gonna charge an assload for them!"
Same with $15 map packs for Call of DLC, Modern Sellout (I just made that up. I like it, I'm gonna start calling CoD that more often).
Also, developers that oversaturate their DLC. There should not be $40 "worth" of DLC if you're releasing the sequel for that game the next freaking year. There shouldn't be $40 of DLC for a game period: They should instead just make a new freaking game, or give the DLC out for free or dirt cheap.

I've already replied this in another thread, but here we go:
1- "Time saver" DLC, as in, spend real-life money and unlock all the game's content. You bought the game, might as well play it, why pay the game to give you the rewards for playing it in the first place?
2- Overpriced map packs. Some cost as much or more than full-blown digital games, and all you get are a couple of new maps. Thanks, but no thanks.
3- Paying real money to buy in-game money. If you buy this, you're poison to the gaming community.

All of the Playstation Home stuff. I wish it was more like, yeah, you can buy it, or you can play the "game", get an ingame currency, and use that to buy things. That'd be really good, I think. They would also only work with in-game things, not for the rest of PSN. Give a reason to actually use Playstation Home.
Warden's Keep for Dragon Age:Origins.Not only was it a short boring quest but they actually had the nerve to try and sell it to you through an in-game NPC
Dragon age: Witch Hunt is the worst dlc I ever saw, the characters where boring and so was the story, the intere dlc contributed nothing to the story of the warden.
it was such a poor cashgrab that I'm guessing even the players who actually liked morrigan where let down by it.

I have to somewhat agree on this one. The DLC so far hasn't added more than another two or three hours of gameplay and only add a few new vehicles and costumes.(I was annoyed that you didn't get to keep any of the new weapons from Gangsters in Space)hazabaza1 said:
The DLC for medieval Total War II That opened up like 4 other provinces in the America's. It was a freaking waste of my time. Not to mention it wouldn't run on most configurations and was buggy as hell.
Catwoman added jack to Arkham City. You did not need her installed to have a complete experience because she added nothing to it. Batman does nothing to stop her, her storyline contributes nothing to the main plot, it's just fluff and nothing else.
I still don't see the outrage behind it, unless its a knee jerk from the most entitled of us in this community. It seems to me the most vocal of the complainers realized this when they played the game and found something else to ***** about to keep the egg from touching their face.

I'm going to go with Arrival from ME2.
Having not played ME3 yet (it arrives tomorrow, I won't be reading replies in case they have spoilers...) it seems like this is basically the setup for why Shepard is on Earth. So, effectively, the end of the game is cut from the 'main' game.
Plus, the content itself was poor. Obvious cost-cutting by excluding your squad, 'decisions' which mean nothing, and a fairly odd story to boot.
So, bad DLC.
