Yes if there making a change in there policy of DLC in future games and tryin to make a change in the industry Then yes. We have to put stop to this cheap [email protected] DLC start pushing for real expansions at half the cost of a game like we once used to see.
What the game calls DLC other games call free updates. DLC should be more like, I dunno, a short side-campaign where you play as a demon and see the world from their perspective. Or a continuation of the story.
Well said. Nice to see a good comment on here, it's a rarity. DLC totally screws up MP games, it should be reserved for SP. It's part of the reason I haven't picked up a MP game in ages.
It really is a pain in the ass when paid maps split the community. I was really enjoying BF1 operations, but since the new maps landed I couldn't get into a game anymore and haven't bothered going back to it in months now.
Free premium on BF1?? What date does the free week start from?? I'm so close to buying the maps as I was loving the operations. I won't get a chance to jump back on the PS4 until Thursday.
It's good because the player base is no longer divided between those who have the dlc and those that don't, but at the same time, those that paid for the season pass probably won't be happy, so it's a double edged sword.
The DLc was just multiplayer maps and weapons. The arcade mode came in a free update which was also awesome. This made me boot up doom for the first time in a long time. They are obviously tying to save doom multiplayer at this point. I don't think the people who paid would have an issue if there was an influx of users and games. I never got into the mp but I liked the campaign a lot. I booted the game up and checked the DLC. Well done I say.
What a dumbass question? Who can really see the masses complaining right now about how they wish DLC cost more money? Yes, I felt stupid just typing that.
And it's their fault that they pander to such anti-consumer practices, they are the problem with gaming nowadays, they are the type of people contributing to the process of developers attempting to cut content behind a paywall in order to nickle and dime the consumer.
I think most DLC is not worth a dime they ask for it. Unless the DLC really ads something to the game making it worth doing it over again I normally skip it.
While the DLC fixes issues with he MP it doesn't necessarily make it a stellar experience, the devs know this so they decided to make it free.
More importantly I hope this means no more DOOM MP development and instead we see a DOOM 2 Reboot or hell maybe that same team doing a seperate Quake SP game.
Only a moron would say no. Making it free after a certain period of time is a great way to keep the game alive and build a decent relationship with your consumer base.
I think it was a great idea for the majority, but a shitty move for the minority. For the people that invested money into the DLC and are not receiving anything in the way of compensation (aside from a choice of whether they want to stay stagnant with all their stuff unlocked or reset back to 0 tp take part in the new progression system), I think it is a little scummy. I know games have done this in the past, but just over a year since the game came out, let alone just over 6 months since the final DLC? That seems insanely soon. But I could be wrong about that.
For the majority of us, though, this could very well be the injection the multiplayer community needed. But I think it's naive to assume it will give the community a tremendous boost. I played a match today on Steam and it wasn't even full. :( I would say, unless they make the multiplayer experience free to play, the community will remain pretty much dead from this point onward.
I love that they added bot support at the end of last year, but I am still annoyed that bots can't be used in game modes that aren't Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch. If Epic Games can make great AI that plays objective-based modes, I don't understand why the Doom developers can't follow suit. I won't sit here and say that I think programming bots is really easy, but they certainly can't be as difficult to program as it seems, given the lack of bot support in most games nowadays. It seems bots are kind of going the way of split-screen. And that is really unfortunate. :(
Anyways, long story short. Good for people that didn't buy the DLC, good for the community, bad for the supporters who purchased it already.
Never was a fan of paid DLC. If the norm becomes DLC costs $$ for a set time, like a year then becomes free, it's a win-win for developers and the community alike. Early adopters to the DLC get the content as soon as it's released, the company behind the game gets a little coin, and those of us who don't agree with DLC being paid content get it eventually, and can join the rest of the games community eventually, which if it's MP helps to prolong the life of the game. Early adopters who pay can look forward to new players joining when paid players start to taper off so it extends what they get out of it too. Seriously, it's a total win-win and hopefully it becomes the norm.
Well, multiplayer in Doom was dead a long time ago, so it doesn't really matter either way, I see this as a push to get more people into the multiplayer.
Yes it's great to see Bethesda make the DLC free over a year after the game's release, much better than having to separate the player base from normal and DLC maps. And to those people crying over the season pass - your fault for having the tendency to buy overpriced season passes, be happy at least that there are more players to play with in matches now.
How is it an article? Because it talks about a recent event and I give my two cents in it. It falls under the category "opinion piece." And regardless of whether or not you think it should have been approved, plenty of others disagreed with you and approved it.
Please do not start an argument in the comments section. If you have any constructive criticism, feel free to give it.
Of course it would be good. I buy things i think i will like. If someone else has it for free, good for him :) More players to play with me :) Jealousy and envy are never good. Having fun and being happy always are :)

It definitely was if it pushes more people to pick up the game
Well, I wasn't going to pick it up, and now I will.
When DLC comes out, it fks up the community.
Servers start supporting all maps, and if you don't have you get booted out.
Happened on BF4 on servers I played on.
All free now.
New Maps for any MP game should be free.
Only SP add-ons should cost.
