Nice, exclusive DLC for Tomb Raider. Can't wait.

Remember when Microsoft had more than just 3 exclusives and it when they used the word "exclusive" it wasn't just about timed exclusive DLC? Those were good times...

... then they announced they will once again be DLC-milking this game, and I suddenly lost all interest again.

TheBlackSmoke4341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

I dont know why anybody is surprised. This has been the same conference for the last 3 years.

@yi-long

from all your comments I see all you ever complain about is DLC. you should probably stop gaming then because its been around for a while and its not going anywhere.

To be fair to eidos they never said anything about day 1 DLC, simply that 360 will get it first.

Yi-Long4341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

... I should stop gaming!? Are you kidding me!?

DLC-announcements just make me determined to not buy these games at launch for full price. I can always pick them up a year later for a fraction of the price and ALL the content included.

Plus there are still great games being released by developers who aren't trying to nickel-and-dime me, like the brilliant Trials Evolution which has an active community offering free DLC on a daily basis.

So no, I'm not going to stop gaming, and I'm certainly not going to stop complaining about greedy publishers who are trying to nickel-and-dime me for extra money, but in return end up getting a lot less.

BTW, I also didn't mention Day 1 DLC.

I could care less for exclusive DLC. I just want to play the game.

Outside_ofthe_Box4341d ago

Thank You!

People should stop caring about DLC altogether let alone timed DLC.

Most dlc nowadays were unlockables/secret side-quests in previous gens.

People should only buy DLC that are similar to the GTA4 episodes imo.

This is rediculous. U dont win an E3 like this. I lobe xbox but they are pissing me off. Yeah a new gears and timed exclusives for BO2, TR & RE6. 2 of these games r knkwn for being playstation classics. So, instead of announcing great new IPs and exclusives like ps3, they rely on halo, gears, and buying out every developer to lock up multiplatform dominance. Its a fine business move, but its lazy and worries me more than ever about the xboxs future regarding hardcore gaming.

rezzah4341d ago

I knew it was going to go downhill once MS said to their fanbase, "You do not know what a hardcore gamer is".

This was in response to many complaints of Kinect being too focused on casual gaming.

The article was around the time they switched the name to Kinect.

meetajhu4341d ago

Is this the best Microsoft can do. I want Valve to make Microsoft run out of business

Gah I hate timed DLC! *hits head against desk* I don't want timed DLC for any game on any console. It's like saying to the customers who bought your game on a console they like, "Hey buddy, thanks for buying our game, but you're just not as appreciated as the ones who bought it for THIS console." It's a slap in the face and honestly it's one of the only things that really pisses me off with gaming.

Sorry to those who disagree, but it just feels like an insult to me even if it's for the console I was going to buy it for anyway.

hahahahahah

I hope people dont blow this out of proportion

Cajun Chicken4341d ago

I thought this timed DLC nonsense was over and M$ were only going to bother with CoD titles. I also don't quite get how DLC could work for Tomb Raider anyway.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9558d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro58d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot58d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist58d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx59d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188159d ago (Edited 59d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9558d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist58d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp58d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg58d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion58d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
