KillingMachine: DLC in general isn't OK. They had it pretty much right with expansion packs, but had to go and ruin it.

StingingVelvet: Its funny you wanted to bring this up here, since we talk about it every other day already :P

Anyway, I like substantial content that basically replaces the expansions of old. Stuff like New Vegas and Mass Effect 2 got. Not as large as expansions but similar and cheaper.

I don't like the small stuff and tend not to support it.

Though really what is evil is up to the market and the market seems to like small stuff and pre-order bonuses.

hedwards: Yeah, the FO:NV DLC was mostly pretty good, although Old World Blues and Dead Money were really the only ones worth getting. FO3, bugs aside, the Pitt and Operation Anchorage were worth getting and possibly Point Look.

IMHO it needs to be a substantial addition rather than content that should have been in the base game and it needs to offer something compelling. The main issue with the FO DLC has been overpowered rewards like the Chinese Stealth suit and manufacturing ammunition that takes the rest of the game out of balance.

Foxhack: All new levels, maybe a storyline expansion = OK
Horse Armor = NOT OK

orcishgamer: You know, I still think some cosmetic DLC is dumb, overpriced, and greedy. In retrospect, though, the whole Horse Armor thing seemed blown out of proportion, wasn't it a buck? And completely freaking optional? I mean, it wasn't the only way to avoid having to look at your noble steed's case of genital warts or anything...

xXShaddowTXx: It's great to see so many people agree.

To be perfectly honest, this is actually one of the main reasons why I prefer playing games for old computers, N64, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, original Xbox, and earlier consoles'.

Foxhack: I used it as an example of completely pointless DLC. Just that.

Your knowledge of equine STDs is not needed.

retro_gamer: Yeah, that's why I like old games too. You can just turn them on and enjoy.

QC: To be honest I don't mind DLC when it's actually substantial. The problem is that the definition of substantial is fairly loose. Example, you can spend $10 to download the alien UFO maps in Fallout 3, that means weapons and play time and story. But then you have something like EA which has at times asked you to spend $3 for a gun or a map or a skill bonus. Why? The point of having new content is to actually have new content, not shit that won't be noticed or remembered for more than a couple days after you purchased it. The thing about locking content on the game disc is also annoying, but at least it actually opens up usable content that adds more to what you can do in the game.
