Dlc was originally a digital way to sell expansions, it wasn't till years later they began to cut content to be sold as dlc.

Did Dayz ever get to a finished release?

I played firefall. =''(

Thus, battlefront 2 was born

I loved all of fallout3 and New Vegas expansions. fallout 4 where still good but shifted content to adding more crafting and less campaign
romicra88
If the "DLC" is only a 100kb line of code, you're getting fucked

I truly hope gamers stop buying this garbage & finally send a message. i guarantee people are still going to buy battlefront 2.

Horse armor?

Was hoping for the EA quote at the end.

Dlc can be great. Pre ordering can unlock a games full potential. Its the companies that abuse those things that ruins it for everyone

Back when it was called additional content for a couple extra buck or map packs from COD WAW
Mayokopp
Well early access and DLC don't necessarily have to be bad. Witcher 3 had two DLCs that were quite cheap for the amount of content you 1/2
Mayokopp
with finding bugs and budget if it's a small studio. If they don't just exploit the buyers for money, the concept can work in a fair way 3/3
Mayokopp
got for example, and the game already had a shit ton of that. Also early access sometimes means getting a game cheaper, helping the devs 2/?
ToTheLonelyMoon
Dragon Age Awakening added a whole extra game basically
TheBlackWindHowls
Well, that's an expansion. Expansions have always been considered significant, made-post-game upgrades to games, whereas DLC are minor.

A pile of garbage that MAYBE contains something nice... so loot boxes.
Molochi819
This.
BIackNoir
My thoughts exactly
Zephyr86
Exactly.

Borderlands 2 is an example of good dlc. The game was finished on release then they made dlc that added lots more weapons, enemies-
candythesquirrel
Tiny Tina's DLC is just legendary <3
SUGG8
Characters and missions. I don’t think it’s fair to release those for free. Free to play games that have payed cosmetics are also fine as-
SUGG8
The devs have to make money somehow and nothing you buy gives you any kind of advantage apart from looking cool.
KinkExpert
Anybody else remember when Mass Effect 3 gave out characters, weapons, enemies, and missions for their multiplayer as free DLC?
Wankathon
Everyone now seems too young to remember there used to be a thing called "expansions" and they were developed after release and were awesome
Wankathon
But that is what got corrupted into DLC when they made them before release and withheld them to sell as extra content
Wankathon
But some peoples rage at DLC is unjustified as legit expansions still exist but get labelled DLC, which is unfair.
ChaosRappyMaster
A recent example of this (well, recent being debateable; it was 3 years ago) being the Original Island expansion for Fantasy Life on 3DS.
eroso
Yup. Even boardgames had those. Example: Heroquest
yourself458
They still do! A good example is one of my favorite board games "House on Haunted Hill".
CrystalCat2
Do you mean Betrayal at house on the hill? I like games and googled "house on haunted hill" to hopefully find a new one but couldn't find it
yourself458
Sorry yeah, I keep mixing the name with a movie name. Betrayal is correct!
Clockworkdancerobot
Beta testing used to be a thing, It used to be a closed system people sometimes got the game free later. Now they charge you to bug hunt.
10benny
Especially for MMO’s, I remember having to literally apply and fill basically a resume for betas.
Clockworkdancerobot
Back when it was a bit easier, but still free, some friends and me all got into betas together to try some games out. Did dozens of games.
raitchison
DLC started when people sold really involved add-ons for really complete games. An example is the "Shivering Isles" add on for Oblivion.
ConspiracyCritic
Shivering Isles was the fucking best. "Let's put a daedric prince in there." "Which one?" "The living meme, of course."
KelseyTheodore
I'd like to give a shout out to Hordes of the Underdark for Neverwinter Nights, and Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir for NWN2.
prilldomon
Pretty sure halo 2 started dlc in a sense with those map packs. They had those discs you could buy and "download" to your Xbox.
SeeBeyond
The thing is everyone forgets good DLC and only know the “standard” we have today. Back when DLC packs were whole fucking games.
TheBurritoConfederacy
We used to call those "Expansions."
Clockworkdancerobot
Its since morphed into "This is just a questline tacked on" or "You can start with this weapon"...
ToastDNA
Best expansion ever. CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!
Talori
Another eg is Talos Principle. Initial game polished & 45+ hrs; DLC is polished, 20+ hrs, adds a different tone and is as good as original
TheAsterite
More horse armor than shivering isles
WhereEverIgoThereIam
Or Brood Wars for StarCraft
dowingba
Oblivion had a huge controversy surrounding DLC. One of the first instances of bad DLC actually.
NightStalker7271
Or "Throne of Bhaal" for Baldur' s Gate 2.
ChrisGibbons
Sonic and knuckles
Muffyns
And knuckles
raitchison
Of course now the developers have learned that they can ship an incomplete game and then charge gamers for the rest of the game.
cantthinkofaclevernameatm
They also added the horse armour though no?
csullivan
See: the secret armory of general knoxx for borderlands 1.
Clisis
I was so excited for this dlc when it came out. So much fun
OOIOxOOIxIOIOxIOIxSxIOIIxIIIxOOI
OH, DLC? WELLL SUUUUURE! *Torrent* Oh, early access content order is over? *Torrent* The game cos- *Torrent* (Game exists) *Torrent*
Muffyns
Only works if it doesn't always online or multiplayer
OOIOxOOIxIOIOxIOIxSxIOIIxIIIxOOI
Well, yeah. But games without requirements of account details or linkage to your steam or such. Like terraria.
Muffyns
why would you not buy terraria? i got it on sale for $2! best game ever and tons of content always being added
Naithen
warcraft 3 expension is the scale for me
Rulweylan
Not really. DLC started with minor bullshit wildly overpriced. An example is the "horse armour" add-on for Oblivion. Good DLC came later.
Muffyns
What about blood moon or tribunal for elder scrolls 3 Morrowind?
BeesechurgerProductions
you couldn't download those until Steam, had to get the discs originally, or the GotY edition.
