DLC

actual there are a lot of crap dlc. hard to list them down. if there are sales, 50% 80%off. its worth to pick them up as its cost less than $2. fable 3 is generally famous for its crap dlcs. PAID launched day dlc was total useless, 160ms for dyed hair?, 400ms for a dog costume?. even the free dlc given worth more than this (quest/weapons).

like DA:O nearly 60% of their dlc is not worth it. ME2 nearly 3/5 DLC is not worth it. like 1 dlc worth $8 (2hrs) for a game with a total value of $40 (20hrs). if u do ur maths u know it should be price at $4.

even halo:reach, 4 maps for 800 mspoints. u got to be kidding me. if its price at 400mspoints, i might consider purchasing it.

and the infamous Activision, COD:MW2 Stimulus Package dlc cost 1200ms points for 5maps similar with blops first strike. so should it be price like this?.

however bfbc2:vietnam is diffidently worth the money. $15 for a total change of enviroment, weapons and gameplay/tactics, 60-70's music

well arcade games dlc, well are price quite reasonably.

well, it all boils down to what u like and should u extend the experience.

XBLA

arcade games, unlike dlc are better off but not all are price accordingly. like the recent 'swarm'. i feel its pricey at 1200ms. ilmilo price at 800ms is worth it. games like laracroft, MNC, comic jumper at 1200 is worth it.

That's why it's Platinum Hit! If you feel cheated, next time don't go buy a game on first day. Wait until there's Platinum Hit edition is out. There you go, free DLC laugh.gif

not all plat hits have dlcs. greedy capcom is one of them.

any plat hits only release after hitting 100k copies sales.

i thought the industry practice was after 1mil sales than only re-release on Platinum.

As for GOTY edition is just long term brand awareness campaign by the publishers.

worse DLC i paid for:

Borderlands Moxxi Underdome - eff this no xp/no loot

DA2 Exiled Prince - US$7 to download 50mb unlock code. and he won't sleep with your character because he is "religious" wtf

MvC3 - US$5 PER CHARACTER. and now there is a rumor of "Super MvC3" edition and 14 DLC characters at Captivate '11

GOTY needs to hit 1 mil sales. plat hits needs 100k copies sales (physical) after 9 months force by MS as a measure of price cuts on the title. By right Platinum hits is MSRP $19.99


similar with sf4... 7 months later released ssf4 which added 4 chars to the roster and slapin $49.99 price tag. man i hate capcom.

Wow, too much disappointment found here. And I'm having hard time to put it under one post.

Yeah, those disappointment most of the time is really personal reason, but because of that can help other people in making a wise decision especially for those who has the same thought.

Thanks guys for sharing.

I know it help me in many ways. As I started to play Fable series, I'm considering to buy those DLCs, but not anymore after much comments from user.

hey not every game dlc is not worth it. just that pricing of the dlc. during sales, i m sure i ll pick them up.... for fable 3.. its better u read the description (most of the dlc is unlocks). so far they are only 2 quest dlc.. 3 quest dlc is exclusive for ppl who preorder.

some good dlc, Alan wake's signal and writer priced at 560ms (new year sales at 230ms) are a fine example of dlc. similar to bfbc2: vietnam, RDR:undead nightmare.

however, rockstars individual dlc, i could say its pricey. gta4 dlcs, and RDR dlcs.

rockband dlc's (songs) are hardly worth it. price at $2-4each. unless they offer song pack.

GAME :

MASS EFFECT 2

DLC  :

warlord (something like that)

560 ms point for this useless , 15 minute play time DLC .................. why not just put it in normal game play while developing games ? only know how to earn money from fans ~

i heard the new one, the arrival dlc for ME2 at 560 is good. open up some big contains in ME2
