After all the hoopla surrounding the Portal 2 DLC, Gamer Reaction decided to take it to the streets. The gamers have spoken! GR talks to you guys to find out what you thought were the pros and cons of DLC, and whether or not its worth a pricetag.
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Chris Brandrick, writing for overkill, speaks to Stefan Heinz, the lead developer on Portal: Revolution, a new fan-made campaign prequel to Portal 2.
valve suck so much at making games now, opting just to smaug on top of an enormous pile of money,
that fans got so desperate that they have to make their own games.
this industry is fucking over.
That Halo 3 thing was some major bullshit I hated when they made you buy the dlc just to play a slayer game.
The AC2 was a kick in the nutt considering is was meant to be in the final game
Anything is better than Need For Speed Shift charging $3. for a single car.
The problem is not that DLC is a bad thing. It is that certain companies abuse it.
I actually think that:
1) DLC pricing needs to be regulated and pricing fixed in a way that gamers don't feel cheated. No charging $10 for a pack of hairstyles, or some other nonsense. If an add on mission only lasts an hour and is not truly groundbreaking it is only worth a couple of bucks.
2) No using characters or missions that should really be included in the game we paid $60 for as exclusive DLC in order to pimp your pre-orders. You want exclusive crap
stick with weapons or other stuff that will not be missed.
3) If the DLC is buggy and/or breaks your game gamers deserve a instant refund.
some is good and worth the money, Borderlands,GTA & FO ( even though buggy) come to mind. Then there is the ripoff DLC, insert any Capcom game.
