Are add-ons really necessary? Maybe not always. But there are plenty of reasons why DLC is still a necessity!
GB: "We take a look at 15 amazing games that had the perfect length."
Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
I'm not even against the idea of DLC, it's how they abuse it, that is what I hate.
Like multiple season passes for fighting games. The price of these season passes are way overpriced as well. Some of them are priced at £30, and that is just insane. The worst thing is seeing idiots defend it and get excited about it, you people are complete mugs. They are laughing at your stupidity. If I was to buy Dragon Ball FighterZ today, it would cost me £44.99 for the standard game, £29.99 for the first season pass, and then £19.99 for the second season pass. So for the complete game, it costs.........£94.97. How can anybody say this is good value for money? This is just the start though, games like Dead or Alive and Street Fighter are even worse.
I am currently re-playing Dragon Quest 8, and after you complete the game, you open up a new area. If that game was released today, you can almost guarantee that this would be locked behind a paywall. This is what has become of gaming, and the worst thing is, you idiots allowed it to happen.
It's only going to get worse though. 5 years into the future, and I wouldn't be surprised if games have 5 or 6 season passes, and it's all because idiot gamers have no self control. They are quick enough to bitch and moan about this stuff, but they they still buy it.
It's weird to think there was a long time I was enjoying video games without dlcs, both in game and pre order bonus. The most you'd get back in the day was a tshirt, figurine or tin case.
I remember when the horse armour came out and I couldn't believe it and now it's the norm, sad times.
Because of the internet & online capabilities,the ability to download & it makes money.
There’s been some top notch DLC out there, but it only takes a few bad apple atrocities to tip the scales.
How can Fortnite still be in early access with a constant stream of $30 packs, when you can buy Witcher 3: Complete for under $20? Who you trying to kid?
