They've done it again. The first bit of DLC for Tomb Raider will be a timed exclusive to Xbox 360, Crystal Dynamics has just announced on stage at Microsoft's press conference.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not this shit again. Either make the game exclusive to one platform or don't have any of this timed dlc bullshit, its just annoying and unfair to people with the other console.
Didn't plan on playing this garbage reboot anyways. It doesn't even look like a Tomb Raider game and it uses some alternate reality whiny, useless version of "Lara Croft". I'll skip this trash.
I won't be buying this game for sure now. I didn't have much interest to begin with but if publishers want to make it easier for me to not buy their game give the 360 timed exclusive DLC.
Nice, exclusive DLC for Tomb Raider. Can't wait.
