Get your DLC out of my Game

January 19th, 2009 Posted in Game News

Well, kinda-sorta. Lets face it, since the PS2 came on to the scene and had games requiring hard drives, DLC or it’s equivalents have been on the scene and driving hard into the minds and wallets of gamers. Now you’re probably thinking or going to call me on expansion packs, but that’s a different ball game together which I will tackle later.

So about this DLC thing and why I’m not liking it too much, basically, because in many ways it’s beginning to cheapen gaming. It’s beginning to give this impression that games are in the most part incomplete and you’re now missing out on the complete experience. Lets take Fallout 3 as an example and we’ll compare it to Oblivion.

Now if you don’t know, as is Fallout 3 took the WoW stance on leveling and has levels capped at 20 (and it’s not very hard to hit that cap). Now when I was playing Fallout and didn’t know about this cap, it was a shock and disappointment, I felt that many avenues were suddenly closed to me and further more that decisions I made earlier were mistakes that would hamper my playing now. It’s not impossible to max-out some stats when you hit the cap, it’s just tedious. Oblivion on the other hand, it took hours and days to max out level skills / player level. Further more the new DLC didn’t lift said cap. Knights of the Nine and Shivering isles were a good expansions, but not requirements to enhance the experience of the original Oblivion.
