When DLC is packaged free in GOTY/Ultimate editions I really think that the people that bought the game already should be rewarded and offered the content for free too. They paid £40 on day 1, why should not be able to upgrade to the same game that £40 would get you on day 500?

I remember when the first 2 Halo 3 map packs that were 800 points to buy, eventually became free. That thing never happens these days, another MS ban I imagine.

You are spot on with that statement. Release day buyers will end up spending more than the ones who wait until the cheaper GOTY edition turns up.

Another part of DLC that annoys me is why charge for DLC for a game thats over 2 years old or more. Take Timeshift for example...the first lot of DLC was free with achievements, the second is showing at 800 MSP which again is extra achievements but all are online. No-one plays online so there goes your completion if you don't know that it can be boosted.

Games over a certain age especially games that didn't take off that well should have all paid DLC made free.

Plus if you 1k a game and extra achievements get added when DLC is released why add them to your total when you have no plans to buy any?

I 1k'ed (100% completion) ACII but if the second lot of DLC comes with achievements that is going to wreck my initial 100% which shouldn't happen if I don't want the DLC, that really annoys me.

I know why they do it, they know it deliberately wrecks your % so they hope you buy it so you can try and 100% the game again.
 
GOTY editions don't have free DLC, GOTY when launched are more expensive than the vanilla game which will have dropped to around £15.

Early adopters get screwed on everything, and always subsidise price decreases.

I think DLC should be counted as a different game on your GT so it doesn't ruin you %.
 
That is true, but there are so many games I haven't played that it's not as if I'm going to be sitting with nothing to do while I wait. Even the games I have right now that I haven't finished will take me the best part of a year to 100% -- Dead Space, Rock Band 1 & 2, Mirror's Edge, Fable II, Fallout 3, Forza 3, Modern Warfare 2, Saint's Row 2, Viva Pinata, EDF 2017, GTA IV (online), and that's not counting the Wii and PS3 releases I'm playing through -- there's enough games that I can live 12 months behind the new releases comfortably now.

My plan at the moment is to try borrow as many new games from friends' when they're done with them (e.g. Forza 3 and Modern Warfare 2), when my brother's finished with AC2 I'll prob borrow that too. Developers are losing out on my cash by not putting out complete releases on day 1, like ytou I used to have to have games on day 1 -- but now that day 1 games are only half finished I don't see the point. But there's enough people willing to pay extra on the DLC to make up for that I suspect. Just look at all the people that will pay 300-500MSP for a bloody Avatar item :suicide:

I see your point but id rather have them as soon as but that's my opinion. I did get wound up when i have to pay top dollar for the GoW2 DLC and a week later they released it all for 1600 points :(

Yep, that annoyed me, particularly when they ditched the retail release of the DLC which was better value than the digital version.
 
More original than the first, good list, Ruthless i got Darkness now so can boost sometime

Ok quality just saw this. I'm tying to get FEAR off the classified :)

When i get a sec i'll write a complete list off game's inc XBLA game's I need to boost and post it here :)
 
As the AC2 DLC is 700mb I think it may have been too big to ship with the game, especially if the next one is the same. The game was pretty big as it was.

The size is pretty big for a DLC that takes between 40-60 mins to complete.

Anyway Ubisoft didn't cut due to size, it was all down to time restraints.
 
Here's some pic's of my game's and my custom GoW contoller i made (that doesn't work now lol :p)

Ruthless - that's quite a collection. Alphabetical order as well :D

Why do you have 2 copies of PGR3?

No worries, i've gotten Full Auto from Lovefilm so if you want to boost it this week just let me know :)

Cool collection
That 490g from Band Hero was probably the easiest achievement since Avatar (gay, non film one)

That second bottom shelf looks like it can't wait for you to get rid of some games.
 
Seen that Turok has a silly number of MP achieves, and is only £6 on shopto, anyone got it to boost?

It's been a poor effort from me on this challenge. My 360 time has been severely limited by Big Brother :mad: so I've been spending more time on the PS3. I think the only game I've played the last couple of weeks is Forza 3 which isn't great for quick points. Might need to delve into my easy points collection to get myself into a more respectable position :D
 
Wouldn't mind grabbing PS3 for Heavy Rain, looks crazy
 
Mass Effect 2 is £34.99 at HMV. Instore & online.
 
Spent a view hours on it last night - my one word review

"Epic" :thumbsup:

Really? Might just tip me over the edge then. Spent all my lunch looking for the cheapest price in town, then persuaded myself I could wait till it drops more. :suicide:

I was expecting more of the same really, but they look to have really taken it on to another level, its pretty good although I wished they'd given one of the (free) DLC packs a different name as the name of it is a bit of a spoiler to the early events :thumbsdow

A couple of things that could get quite annoying though - having to refuel before zooming off round the galaxy, and surveying worlds looks like it'll be very tedious by the time you've finished.

Oh, and import save (from ME1) feature didn't work for me and it appears to be a common problem on the EA forums... :mad:

...in other news - bought a 3 month live card for my 3rd account today so thats the time limit I've got to boost the living daylights out of GRAW...

How high on the leaderboards did you manage to get so far? Intrigued to see if the methods on TA actually work.
