At least they're planning on supporting the game post launch, and knowing Gearbox I'm hoping the DLC will be story driven.

Don't get your hopes up too high... they did the same for Borderlands 2 and ultimately just outsourced it.

Exactly. I thought bl2 dlc was a sure thing given the quality of the first games dlc. Boy was I wrong.

I'd advise against buying season passes no matter what the game is or who makes it.

antz11044099d ago

Matter of opinion. I feel like everyone BITCHED constantly about the DLC for the first game when it dropped, and now with the DLC for 2 getting mixed reviews they talk about it like it was fantastic.

This is why I wait a year and pick up the GOTY edition for a fraction of the price.

Hopefully for the single player. The dlc will most likely be for the MP though, as it is a big focus for them, the left4dead style mode. A prequel DLC playing as Ripley right near the end of Aliens would be to good to be true, so I'll cancel that one out. Hoping this will be great.

The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.

The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.

Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
