Mendon I would hope Bethseda released 63 bucks worth of add-on content for Fallout 3!!!!! I'd be caught hook line and sinker for that stuff. No other game, though.

No other game, though. yes all they'd have to do is fill in *all* the buildings, throw some new quest points, activate child murder and I'd easily cough up another $60 I mean I wouldn't do it for much less than that (well I would, but not happily). As long as ea still keeps selling me a *FULL GAME* initially I don't mind addon content terribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think they would really just extend the boundaries, map-wise, of the original Fallout 3. Plus, add all the new quests, weapons, etc. I wouldn't want them to fill in the buildings or add new ones that weren't previously on the map. That would ruin the experience and I wouldn't like it at all. "Oh...look....a hotel........I coulda sworn this was just a patch of rubble a couple days ago."

cimerians Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Holy crap!!! I saw that. I agree, sell me a full game and Im ok. But once it starts becoming a half game and then pay more to finish it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) No one's saying what kind of DLC it is though... I'm okay with them nickel and diming the idiots willing to pay extra for themes, gamerpics, paintschemes, etc. But how much of that $60 worth of content is actually worthwhile ingame content?

Starscream Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ok so after looking at this, this is another blown out of proportion thread. You don't get half a game, no cars, and buy a tire at a time. This is just like Tiger Woods, if you don't wanna wait for in game money, you can use MS points or PS Store money to purchase items before you unlock them. The game DOES NOT end up costing you $125+, you'll only spend it if you are lazy or impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game DOES NOT end up costing you $125+, you'll only spend it if you are lazy or impatient. What I'm curious about, though, is if we'll basically get games that are stripped down to a minimum in terms of content so that publishers can sell us additional content online later. For instance, in the past say a racing game came with 12 different tracks. That same racing game sold today might only come with six tracks for $60, and then they'll periodically release new tracks for $5 a pop. So, in the end, you would end up paying more for what you might have gotten in the past for $60. You can bet that publishers will milk this for all it's worth and that games are now being designed with DLC in mind. I can see the design meetings now, "Is this something we have to include with the game or something we can sell later?" ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yeah, that's probably going to happen at some point. I guess it would just come down to what the value is to the purchaser like we've all said before. With games being so short from start to finish these days, looks as though you are thinking on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck filling a room with people to race against on your expensive new track. DLC's nice in theory. No more expansion pack discs--granted it gives us collectors a lot less to do. I have this wonderful dream of a video game system that only has one football game on it, with a DLC every year for teams and engine upgrades. All selfishly so I don't have to wade through so many titles at the thrift store... That'll never go over though.

If people don't buy it they'll stop doing it. I don't blame them for trying to make as much money as possible. I blame the people who seem to like spending more on video games than I do.

Atarifever Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) This is similar to something that happened to me recently. I bought a Lynx and two games for $24 online, and I also bought Ballblazer 7800 for $8 in a box. Then the games arrived and I played them, with all the content already in there. It was great. Oh wait. I guess that's the opposite of this. My mistake. Edited November 18, 2008 by Atarifever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
