Ironstar: Downloadable content is utilized by Game Developers/Publishers for a variety of reasons, which include keeping you from selling the game to 3rd parties, fixing "broken" titles, and generally milking your wallets. I prefer some forms of downloadable content much more than others.
"Getting into a long-standing fighting game series is always a challenge for new players. There are so many characters and different versions to go over for many of them and going up against seasoned players who’ve been with the series for years is one of the biggest barriers. BlazBlue, however, has something a lot of other games don’t have; a ton of story. The series is known for having a lot of story content, which can make that initial barrier even harder for new players because if they jump into a new game and play the story mode, they aren’t going to be able to follow it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
The 'visual novel' is a rather unknown videogame genre. Or is it? Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright and many other games are sneaking into the limelight by combining traditional visual novel storytelling with innovative gameplay elements. Do they have the potential to go mainstream?
Although I love them, I don't really consider pure visual novels like Higurashi or Umineko to be games... however I like that there are more and more games nowadays that use visual novel aesthetics as their story telling device
“Who is BlazBlue’s Biggest Fan?” Contest Deadline EXTENDS!
One version is enough for me. If they change everything I'll buy it.
I agree. If you want to sell characters fine, but don't charge anymore than 50 cents.
Kasumi for Mass Effect 2 was $7. So $7 is okay but $7.99 is too much?
Simply because it is being utilized as consumer abuse. Overpriced map packs, character packs, costumes as well as modes and content already on the disc. It's shameful, but alas, it will continue, simply because most consumers have made themselves into cattle with the "gotta have it all!" mindset.
Just a case of a potentially good thing gone terribly wrong.
I want more DLC like Dragon Age, Full blown expansion packs
One thing i did not like about MGO if you lost your account and made a new one on the same ps3 you needed to buy another guy which was ike $6.99 its bullshit. Sometimes people i think can be to greedy not with the mass effect 2 stuff sure if the character has like a added story adding a few hrs of gameplay then yeah that`s deff worth a few bucks. But for something simple and online as like MGO is just wrong.
BTW I`m not putting down MGS 4 or MGO i love MGS with a passion.
