The Worst DLC of this Generation

"Downloadable Content is supposed to enhance a game after it's conclusion, expand the multiplayer or add new features to promote extended play. The problem is for every masterpiece of DLC like The Lost and Damned, a Grand Theft Auto IV expansion, there are just as many duds or cash ins. You may have your own list but here at GamePlayToday is our list for the worst DLC this."

That beautiful Katamari DLC was the worst. It was, as far as I think, worse than even the way EA bends people over.

But it all comes down to whether people are dumb enough to pay.

kennykramer4783d ago

Why is it that anytime someone doesn't like a certain release of DLC, people are "dumb" for buying it? Is it at all possible that the DLC sells because there are actually people out there who want it?

Sometimes it's as simple as unlocking stuff in the game. What's the difference from people buying GameShark or CDX back in the day to unlock stuff?

Cenobia4783d ago

I only disagree with you on the "unlocking stuff" part.

Devs could easily program a cheat code in...but they don't do that anymore.

kennykramer4783d ago

There are a lot of games with cheats this gen. Multiple games I buy have "cheats" or "codes" right in the menu. They just disable trophies and achievements on my PS3 and 360. There's ntohing to disable on my Wii, so I put in cheats on that all the time.

Cenobia4783d ago

@kennykramer

Yeah, but what I'm saying is the devs could easily program a cheat code for those who 'don't have time to unlock characters'. That way the people that don't have time can unlock everything right away (even if you have to punch the code in every time the game boots).

This gen many developers have removed codes like that, and instead you basically pay for the code through DLC. It is stupid and should not be allowed to happen. They can spin it like they want, but it is just greedy.

If you want to play with all Street Fighter characters (or whatever) right away, then the dev just has to program in a cheat code. It is a no brainer for all fighting games. People that don't want to earn characters get them right away (although I'd make them enter the code at every boot and disable it for online play).

If they want to play online with the characters, then I guess they could make the customer purchase them, but how long are these people gonna last online if they don't want to play the game to unlock people?

Horse armor in Oblivion.Period.

tweet754783d ago

wouldnt it be the worst DLC ever? This is the first generation to allow DLC.

kennykramer4783d ago

Dreamcast was last gen. History lesson complete.

Amplitude4783d ago

Either way you say it, it still works. xD

Plus, the PC had DLC before. Just saying. :E

Thrillhouse4783d ago

The original Xbox had DLC, too.

plb4783d ago

I wish more devs were like Valve these days...free DLC (Steam anyway)

OtherWhiteMeat4783d ago

Epic also.....Unreal Tournament had tons of free stuff.

After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.

Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.

VenomUK1757d ago

I want Toby Gard’s Galleon. I have the game but no way to play it and I’m not going to buy an original Xbox again.

Gunstar751756d ago

Blur. Was gutted it never came over, but I guess the licences expired

Primal Rex1757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth

Bigman4k1757d ago

Idk I'm pretty sure they are done with backsward compatible program even when next gen xbox comes out i don't see them announcing new backsward compatible games

darthv721757d ago

i do. There are going to be more og and 360 titles added to the mix for project scarlett.

Jakens1757d ago

Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.

Imortus_san1756d ago

I only needed 10 games, and they are all Shoot em ups.

When You Really Think About it, Katamari is Probably the Most Disturbing Game You'll Ever Play

It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.

It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.

eddieistheillest2729d ago

Creator went to make a different game but I want one sooo bad.

Venoxn4g2728d ago

I want a proper katamari game for ps4 please

kimblejay2725d ago

Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!

Venoxn4g2725d ago

Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
