The Despair of Season Passes and Day One DLC

"The age of DLC allows our games to go further. But what is the damage of Season Passes? Do developers cheat us and sell parts of the game that were cut out?"

It's annoying but at same time a little exciting to finish a game and then have more of it pop up later on. It breathes new life into it. Bioshock infinite for instance. I couldn't get enough of it, I felt the ending was a good finalization but the DLC brought the game back. Gave me another new chance to enjoy it. I guess they could have included that content in the full release but I liked the way they did it just like I like how The Walking Dead is episodic. It depends on the game.

There's a difference between having content immediately available at launch that you have to purchase and stuff that comes out later on. But like you said, having DLC that releases down the road is something that the developers weren't able to include in the original game, or new stories they want to expand upon.

Since the developer is using time and resources to make that happen, paying for it is inevitable. At least it's not Battlefield pricing, $20 isn't that much of a pill to swallow.

Ajoyshop3623d ago (Edited 3623d ago )

Makes sense. I was thinking more about DLC down the line. I haven't personally encountered Day one DLC in my games. Not yet at least.

Never been a DLC guy, never will be.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1010d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1010d ago (Edited 1010d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1010d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1010d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1009d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1010d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1010d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11009d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1010d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11009d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1009d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1010d ago (Edited 1010d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1010d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1009d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1010d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1009d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131010d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1010d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131010d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

COD Online Shutting Down in China by End of August

Activision is shutting down COD Online in China by end of August, citing declining revenue as the cause.

Dabigsiebowski1067d ago

Pull away from China. They have way different values than what Most Americans have even though some have shifted quite a bit recently. We don't need to cater to more audiences nor Countries for that matter.CCP is terrible and so are Trumpers oh... and extreme left as well! Who knew!
