I could see them releasing a patch that makes it were you can't get everyone through the final mission without all 12 squad members...

I seriously doubt that, there would be a lot of pissed off people after that. Pissing off customers is bad for business, especially if you try to get more money out of them while doing it..

Let's be honest. They could **** in the customers' milk all day and you guys would call it chocolate milk and drink it all the same.

I tend to avoid pointless DLC for a lot of games, but I like to support Bioware as much as possible. I'll buy anything they put out.

Same here. I will be buying it.

I'm still on the fence. O_o

Personally, this gets into a whole DLC argument that I would rather not start up. To me there is a difference between stuff that add on to the end of the game or open up new areas (ie Firewalker) and adding new characters to the regular campaign. One I will pay for and one I wont, so I probably wont buy Kasumi for that reason and that fact that I am really not interested in her character.

Kasumi files on game disc.


Kasumi after DLC download.


You are not spending $7 for just this.

Lol, awesome way to explain. I am so totally getting Kasumi but not the MW2 maps... 15 bucks for that?!??!?!

The whole idea of DLC is just ripping of the customer. Just because something is cheap doesnt mean that its cost effective. It all adds up. And in the end you spend the money for two games on not even one and a half game. Little prizes and paying over the internet make things comfortably easy and spending moneys doesnt appear like a big invenstment or loss. But its just an illusion considering the whole picture.

DLC is pretty much always overprized. And it becomes even more obvious when you consider that moddable games usually offer better free content thanks to a creative community.

Furthermore, DLC, free or not is often not integrated into the game as it was a valid part of it. The DLC armors are just a prime example for that. Characters that have less dialogue than comparable ones are not much better. Thinking of it, it becomes very clear why there is so little party banter in ME2. It would not have worked with the DLC plan. And sun-shades that go against the design of characters and even the whole game are just the tip of the iceberg.



When people stop buying DLC and the whole idea in general then maybe publishers and developers will go back to delivering full games without parts beeing cut out for the release and full add-ons with a whole package where all elements properly go together.



DLC is a desease to modern gaming just like forcing out games early with a day-1 patch that never fixes a totally buggy product like it was the trend a while back or freaking DRM systems that hurt the customers rather than pirates. It all just leads to reduced overall quality, no matter how adept the developer might be.

Money is not beeing made through confidence in a good product anymore but rather through ripping off the customer.

I'm British. I've paid $7 for a chicken salad baguette while waiting for a train. Would I be willing to skip one of those and instead get some extra content for one of my favourite games of the last 2 years? Hmm. <_<

EDIT: And that sandwhich was far too crunchy; not enough chicken and badly spread mayonaise. This is an important detail.

Excellent reason!!

I'm American. I still think most DLC is half-assed - chicken sandwiches aside. I am arrogant enough to demand meaningfull content, not an hour of shooting in a museum, and not bladerunner shades, or even nail polish for Miranda.

This... But I'll still get it because it looks fun.

instead. But well, that's what BioWare is about, not selling rubbish. Still, after the countless bugs and clearly rushed testing of Awakening, I'm a bit concerned if the same QA team supervises both ME and DA:O

You are aware of the alternate appearance pack and the DA gift packs, right?

This. And also the Hammerhead/firewalker pack. Just ecause it was free doesn't mean it wasn't mediocre and boring.

EA hasn't done anything good for Bioware. It never will. Mass Effect 2 was rushed, the DLC was mediocre, and now they expect to make money off of Kasumi? for $7, I should be able to have a conversation with the character, not have them talk at me. You are essentially paying for the Zaeed style DLC with a new character. Which, in my opinion, is not worth seven bucks.

[FataliTensei]

I know I'm not buying it, DLC in general is a rip-off, charging us for things that should have been on the disc or things that are already on the game disc we bought, but having us pay to unlock them

[PnXMarcin1PL]

I will get it. 7 Bucks for a dlc with a new mission and new squad member instead of old things with some new (CoD6 new maps, i boycott that one, ****in 15 bucks for almost nothing). 7 bucks for Kasumi is a good deal. Anyway 5 bucks would be better

[eternalnightmare13]

I plan on getting Kasumi, but one thing I dislike with dlc is the fact you have to buy ''points'' which often cost more then the dlc due to the way they're bundled. I don't play many games a year and occasionally buy dlc. I think the ''points'' system is a giant money grab on EA, BW and MS part.

[Atmosfear3]

Theres nothing wrong with PDLC (yes, theres a P there. Lets not confuse regular DLC with PDLC). You already paid for the standalone game. Its really a question of whether or not you feel you got your money's worth for the game itself. I know I personally did and I look forward to spending a little extra to extend the enjoyment of my experience.

@Slimgrin - I believe the closest thing is...$6.25 after that it's like, $12 or something.

I'm curious. Can buy exactly $7 worth of points?

No, I believe they go in amounts of 5.  5, 10, 15...

[digby69]

Yep I'll be buying
