Yeah that seems to be the norm nowadays, some DLC is ok I can see why but others where it usually becomes a pay to win style of game EG buy DLC and get newer weapons which haven't been balanced as much (LOOKING AT YOU FAMAS FROM BF3!) but some I don't mind DLC when it is just for a single player RPG like Skyrim's DLCs which personally all except for Hearthfire added in a nice amount of new content to fool around with like the Vampire/Werewolf perk trees, Solstheim to explore, killing a Legendary Dragon and other fun stuff. Did have its down sides like Dragon Riding was nothing like it was wanted. =/

 

I personally have no interest in Evolve and heard some badish stuff from a few mates about it so that put me off it that little bit more.

yeah, but here is the distinct difference between skyrim and evolve. Skyrim actually had dlc's that came out months later that were proper dlc. I felt that I easily got my $60 worth gladly paid for the later DLC's. Evolve is not that. I am pretty much crusading against this switch in the industry.

Evolve is more like League of Legends, you can unlock characters instantly or grind endlessly and unlock them normally. Another comparison would be the battlefield 3 weapon packs

Huzzar for pointless DLCs I guess then...

 

I never knew if anyone actually ever bought the weapon packs for Battlefield. Unlocking weapons seemed like it was part of the game and buying it to me seems like playing a game and then buying levels... Just kind of kills off the game a bit since I like playing while I still have things to unlock when I have everything its more of a sure I'll keep playing because why not...

Skyrim had tons of content as well without the DLC, but I think Skyrim is a good example of DLC done very well.

Destiny the content and story is lacking, tbh the DLC adds little but it's almost a required, and locking people out of content when they add DLC when they weren't locked out before is plain wrong.

I think few people are getting it right at the moment.

Also I know this is a 40K game but Deathwing looks awesome.

Well Destiny I haven't touched in a week, I play usually play every Tuesday with a group and go through a grind of Nightfalls and Raids with a mixture sometimes I just do Nightfalls sometimes Raids and sometimes no one is really on and we do it the next day other than that I usually avoid Destiny as I have no real incentive to play until the next DLC, I'm level 32 and have some Elemental primary weapons, I don't care about other things now and only really appear when someone would like my help in a raid or something.

 

Other than that I'll be play Dragon Age on Nightmare or using hordes of Germanians and killing Romans...

[CruciasNZ]

Right now for me I live on World of Tanks. Not much in the imminent future to interest me sadly. All the semi-decent games seem to be June onwards

[JC 042]

Well I'm keeping an eye out for a sale on a couple of indie games:

• Besiege
• The Long Dark
• Life Is Strange
• The Forest
• Banished
• Transistor

Recently picked up Murdered Souls Suspect for £2

[CruciasNZ]

Yeah that Square sale was pretty epic, newish game for $2.99. Star Wars Humble Bundle is awesome too

[NinjaJohnno]

BL2 is a good example of DLC done right as well.

I wont pre-order any games this year now due to last years disappointments.

Can anyone tell me how good the Dragon Age games are?

If they aren't any good I will fire up the PS2 again, found all the Rachet and Clank games now! haha and Zone of the Enders 1-2

DA:Origins I loved, DA:II wasn't that enjoyable for me and DA:Inquisition is pretty fucking awesome. Still playing it on Nightmare at the moment...

 

They will require a bit of time since they are a bit time demanding...

[JC 042]

 DA:Inquisition is pretty fucking awesome. 

Would love it if it wasn't for Origin, I stick to my boycott until it dies or works.

[CruciasNZ]

Origins graphics aren't amazing but the gameplay numbers among the best out there. DA2 was very pretty and the combat improvements were amazing, but it did suffer from being a filler game. DA3 is basically a single player MMO and is not worth playing if you do not have time to sink into an MMO type game.

 

I also find the combat system in DA3 to be one of the worst of any RPG games I have played. Absolutely terrible decision to remove healing spells and until you get the advanced classes you just seem.... vanilla. I honestly enjoyed low level combat in Morrowind more, and those who played it will understand the depths of that allegation. 

I enjoy BL2 but have a hard time talking nice about it, after all they did plain up steal and lie in order to make it (cough Colonial Marines cough). 

[NinjaJohnno]

Cool thanks guys.

Cru Colonial Marines has to be the game I have and will forever be most disappointed with.

[CruciasNZ]

Cool thanks guys.

Yeah it was absolute crap. It also had most of it's programmers and funds redirected into BL2 hence my comment

[An_A10_Pilot]

A game that i picked up and is quite a bit of fun is Darkest Dungeon. The game is evil. XD

[Fuzzy]

I'm very tempted to just go dig out my ps2 and play battlefront 2...

[JC 042]

Something people might be interested in, all 3 Overlord games (I see Raising Hell as a seperate game) are on sale for £3.74, the first game is only 87p.

 

Now I'm not telling you that you should buy it... But what the hell are you doing reading this when you should be buying it!?!

[MutilatedRelic]

No mans sky. Mad Max. (Keeping my fingers crossed for a new Resistance). Dead Island 2. and Dragons Dogma online.
