Haha I agree with Melissa, didnt really read everything the article said I just kinda skimmed through it and didnt even realize the dude said 70 hours for the main quest! If it took the guy 70 hours for the main quest Id have to go out on a limb n say hes missin a few chromosomes out of his set :laugh:

and as Ive said before the DLC for DA is mostly garbage, still wanna go back and recomplete it though if the Awakening expansion drops in price. As for Borderlands I didnt mind Zombie Island or Secret Armory but Moxxi was the worst dlc ever as Ive stated numerous times throughout other threads. Fallout 3 I really enjoyed 3 of the 5 packs that released but the other 2(The alien one and Anchorage) were pretty bland and I just played through em for the points. As for free DLC, well I cant complain with those, just qued up my free Alan Wake DLC abit ago with the code Junior gave me.

With Ben Silverman math we can deduct that the Dragon Age campaign plus all the DLC should keep u busy for 900+ hours.

well, altho i will admit, i dont really lean either way on the point of DLCs. are they ways to make more money? duh. are they ways to enhance a gamers experience w/ a game? yes.

BUT, it doesnt always enhance and is sometimes just to make more money. sometimes DLCs are just retarded and pointless or are so glitched to fuckery i cant even stand them.

the borderlands DLCs. now, i will say, zombie island is worth 400 points. no 800, hell no. but deff 400, imo. the 'braaaaaaaaaaaaains' mission was a pain in the ass (it was the last one i did, i didnt know where to find it) but besides that, it was ok. had some good weapons n shit every now n then. overall, ok. worth 400. mad moxxis underdome riot. was. such. fucking. shitl i almost cant even bear to complete it! but its all i have left to do, complete mad moxxis. but that dlc is so stupid and trash i cant even comprehend it...i guess the bank addition was ok, but not really necessary...now, the secret armory was great. yes, it was a pain in the ass to go from place-to-place but overall it was a very well made DLC. worth 800 points, imo.

now for fallout 3. i found broken steel, the pitt, and point lookout pretty worth it. all had a pretty good story, some good side quests and loot and shit like that. those were worth the 800. but anchorage and zeta were...ehhh...zeta was only good for more alien weapons. i didnt even play it on my account. i watched my bro play. it was ok. anchorage was just...idek. idk why that was a DLC. not worth 800. neither was zeta. zeta is MAYBE worth 400, but idk. anchorage is worth like 80...or just free

so i mean, you have some DLCs that are SO worth their 800 mPoints price (like secret armory, broken steel, etc etc) but some that arent (zeta, mad moxxis, etc) so i mean, its really just a 50/50 coin toss when you buy a DLC. it could be good, it could not be. you just never know. but i really hate when an awesome game gets a stupid/glitched-to-fuckery DLC, kinda ilke l4d1 w/ Crash Course....i LOVED l4d1. like omfg. i loved that game w/ a passion. i got the full 1000 (i didnt lobby glitch no expert, i only glitched the nothing special and untouchables, but they were more exploits not glitches) and so when they said it had DLC i got excited.....but crash course is so glitched to fuckery its almost dam near impossible to get all of its achievements! like omg

On the topic of DLC, anyone play the Red Faction Guerilla Demons of the Badlands DLC? I loved that game and I always think about picking the DLC up but not really sure if its worth the 800 or 1200 points, not sure what it is. Anyone play that?

This must mean that with all the DLC for Dragonball Z: Raging Blast there has to be over 9000 hours of gamplay. Hmmm..

Alright here's my two nickels. I thought the article was interesting and kudos to PureEvil X21 for writing it. DLC is a mixed blessing in my brain. I've had fun playing Rock Band and Rock Band 2, now, for a crazy long time and with weekly DLC releases I have a truckload of songs now, much to my wife's chagrin. So on one hand it's great, then on the other hand there are titles like Burnout Paradise and Fallout 3 that just seem to add content for the sake of the almighty dollar. Did both those games get my cash? Yes, they did, so maybe not the best example.

But the great thing about DLC is either you can purchase and enhance your game experience or you don't have to and just dig on that $60.00 purchase. If the companies are willing to give it to you free that is great! I'm all for that. Thanks, Rockstar! If the DLC intrigues me and I have a few bucks lying around I'll pick it up, so it's water off a duck's feathers for me.

Here's my DLCQP to show you my evergrowing list of songs for Rock Band 2 on the 360.

There has been some excellent dlc that has come out. Sure some of it is to get extra money out of it's gamers (Bioshock 2). But others such as Fallout 3, GTA IV and a few others have greatly enhanced gameplay and expanded on some great stories. I'm a huge fan of DLC, when it's good and worth the price.
