Destiny. They cut out content that was supposed to be in the original game and split into 3 dlcs. Then, they released 'The Taken King', which cost the price of a full game and effectively made everything you earned in Year One useless. It also blocked you from playing most of the previously available game modes, unless you bought the dlc. Not to mention all the bullshyt currencies they kept on adding to force to you to grind for weapons/items.

That shyt was criminal. Bungie will never see another penny from me.
Actually now that you mention it there was some messed up stuff about the destiny dlc, specifically with those that bought the season pass. Even with the season pass they forced everyone who wanted TTK on day one to pay full price for the game all over again and the dlc. In that respect, destiny is actually one of the biggest screw ups in console dlc history.

You should realise that gaming industry is money focussed not actually making decent games / gaming experiences for the users. we get more trash games now than decent games. You have too much good faith in these companies breh:ufdup: give them an inch they'll take a mile in your ass. "it's not that bad" is always what you hear before the bomb drops:francis:
:yeshrug: I been enjoying gaming just fine. It costs me nothing to NOT pay for dlc and miss out on it. Most times it isn't necessary to the core game. That's all. Believe me, console gaming is not going to go away because of dlc.

Previously everything that was in the DLC would have been included in the actual game, I also have no qualms with missing out on DLC but they are still taking away from the actual game to have something extra to sell giving us a Vanilla game and 6/10 fun as a base. Doesn't look good for gaming with DLC being in the plan for games that are just starting their development stage

Crusader Kings 2 takes the spot easily. All the DLCs add up to $159 including the base game. And the base game is incomplete.
this is so true, I fukking love that game and spent many hours on it but I'm not buying all that DLC just because I came late in to the game, might be worth it if I played it from the start and had to shell out a smaller amount every now and then if I still enjoyed it, now I just switched to a pirated copy :pachaha: haven't played it in ages so won't be changing that either.

Also one of the worst for me was Skate 3 charging extra just to be able to do offline multiplayer with your friends:francis: we used to spent quite some time with skate 2 just smoking weed and doing tricks/hall of meat, got all excited for the skate 3 release and they hit us with that bullshyt:martin: the homie copped that DLC too, I never forgave him for supporting such a greedy tactic:scust:

Pay Day 2- Developers said we will "NEVER CHARGE for DLC"


Next month, Pay Day 2 is announced will be a paid DLC :francis:

Another game my brother got shafted on. Isn't shyt like Grenades and other simple guns DLC as well? :mindblown:


Destiny. They cut out content that was supposed to be in the original game and split into 3 dlcs.

It also blocked you from playing most of the previously available game modes, unless you bought the dlc. Not to mention all the bullshyt currencies they kept on adding to force to you to grind for weapons/items.

That shyt was criminal. Bungie will never see another penny from me.


What's even MORE fukked about the Taken King is that it's technically the last component of the game which finally fills up the third abilities slot in your character that was empty from day 1. Apart from being 40 dollars, fools that bought the season pass thinking they were covered....couldn't get it.:snoop: I've had long drawn out arguments with dudes online and off about this bullshyt, I mean like what you like, I can't stop you for it, but there's no way in hell you can justify paying so much money in DLC content that is essentially the finished product that should have been available at day 1 and NOT call it rape. I don't care how fun the shyts can be, this game should have been free to download in it's initial state then the rest of this shyt wouldn't have been so bad.

I got the first two DLC for free but stopped bothering after I saw that whole Taken King shyt. Destiny has not touched my X-1 in almost a year. fukk it:pacspit:

Previously when? Back in the NES days? Because even Nintendo was dropping the same game multiple times on the SNES and back in those days it was even worse. You didn't have an option to download additional characters in street fighter. If you wanted to play as another character outside of the vanilla roster you had to repurchase the same game all over again with little tweaks. This was the way companies were making due given the limitations. I could rattle off quite a few games that were release in multiple iterations with the core game being exactly the same.
The real point is, companies are not generally omitting key story or core content and selling it later as DLC. For the most part, DLC has been in the form of extra maps, and side missions which do not change the core game or story, and only enhance it in minor ways. DLC is essentially like the post credit scenes at the end of marvel movies. They're fun to stick around and watch, it gives you a reason to stay, but at the end of the day, if you missed it you really wouldn't have completely missed out on anything major that wasn't already discussed in the first film or the next.

As of late i have to say fallout 4.

You lucked up paying for the season pass early while it was 30$ but now that shyt ballooned to 50$! All for some shytty story elements and settlement building. Imo not worth it now, you might as well wait till a goty edition
ppl who cop a Bethesda game before the inevitable goty edition deserves the L tbh :manny:

I like DLC. :manny:

Yeah, FPS DLC is a rip off, but RPG DLC (minus horse armor :skip:) is pretty good. The Witcher expansions were the shyt and Fallout 4 Far Harbor was worth the money.

I don't really play competitively online, so I don't buy the FPS DLC, which I know sucks, but single player DLC has been pretty good to me (minus bullshyt like Arkham Knight) :manny:

Nah breh it was microtransactions they said they would never add

THEN they added them anyway

THEN they got on reddit and told the fans to suck a dikk

THEN they had the nerve to wonder why everyone was throwing Payday in the bushes

NOW they got rid of microtransactions and are pretending nothing ever happened

I don't like dlc period, but it's how they get paid so I don't see it going no where
