When do games stop adding to the story and just continue telling the same thing? Could Dead Space 2 and 3 really just be expensive DLC?<br /><br />Though as I reread this it seems to just be following the question "what is a game".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208713414940322318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652766236149422772.post-62151497727202515262013-02-11T19:36:30.937-06:002013-02-11T19:36:30.937-06:00'that isn't F2P that requires DLC to compl...'that isn't F2P that requires DLC to complete the main progression' That is the main point, yes, and one I probably didn't state as well as I could have.<br /><br />As far as your food analogy, that's what I meant by 'extra'. It's definitely a good analogy in my view. <br /><br />thanks for commenting! :)Aldowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192864562814985278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652766236149422772.post-57238261209914599392013-02-11T16:16:28.828-06:002013-02-11T16:16:28.828-06:00This takes me back to expansion packs. What really...This takes me back to expansion packs. What really helped sell expansions, in my opinion, was the combination of adding to your current armament and continuing the story or at least expanding on its core principle. Some of these Day 1 DLCs are sort of like buying a cake and then buying a dozen cupcakes because they look like the cake. Good Day 1 DLC is like going out and getting milk and plates and forks and maybe ice cream to go with that cake.<br /><br />Food similes to one side, Day 1 DLC is an incredible God-send compared to waiting and waiting and waiting for promised or expected DLC to appear. Game developers making a game that isn't F2P that requires DLC to complete the main progression of the game are interested more in profit than player satisfaction. That in itself is more than enough reason to trade in the game and tread cautiously around that developer from then on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208713414940322318noreply@blogger.com
