GoGamingGiant.com- "When Arkham City came out, I was instantly amazed. The game managed to capture the essence of Batman, the intensity of the Joker and it managed to interesting and intricate side quests since most of the secondary quests added depth to the story and game play. There were tons of villains from Batman’s rogue gallery and the game was well paced. However, the newest DLC, Harley Quinn’s Revenge, falls short in the simplest ways."
DLC is more common and controversial than ever. But are we really getting mad at the right things?
Thats not a bad idea to discount the price of DLC for early adopters once the complete edition drops which is usually a year later. So if you bought the game within the 1st 2 months of release you would get a 25% discount on all of the DLC. That discount would always be there so if you time it right, you could get the DLC at an even cheaper price if they have a sale on it.
A lot of games don't get complete edition's though. Most of the games i own that have DLC never had a complete edition released for it.
I don't mind DLC to some extent. It's just that the majority of DLC I've ever picked up has either been way too short, for example the Harley Quinn DLC for Batman Arkham City. And other times the DLC isn't even good.
I'm fine with DLC like what GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption has done. I'm even cool with some map packs here and there. I think season passes are the big problem, especially when some draw in the $50 price tag and don't really give out much.
Boss fights are an important element of video game design. Here's what they need to be successful.
Forgotten? no, but i've given up on them since most games don't feature them, and most that do are diminished to lame ass QTE segments. People may love to talk mess about Arkham Origins, but one thing it did better than any other Arkham game (or most games in general for that matter) was bossfights, seriously had some of the best bossfights i've played in YEARS
This week on 'Before The Knight At Arkham', Throwing Digital Sheep revisits the sequel that turned The Dark Knight into a video gaming Phenomenon - Batman: Arkham City.
Kind of glad I didn't drop the cash for the dlc, since I watched a playthrough and it answered no questions, and was very short.
I recommend the Arkham endgame digital comics. They really explain what happened to the Joker and Batman, more than the actual dlc.
if robin never showed up at the end.. the reviews would have been a lot different
