NowGamer: Add-on DLC is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it can lengthen any gamer's enjoyment of a game by providing him or her with great value content. On the other, it's just one big rip-off. Here we list the biggest rip-offs in DLC history...

Yes finally someone else thinks mw2 map packs wer s*** why would you pay $30 for only 6 new maps and four old maps if i wanted to play the 4 old maps all i have to do is pop in cod4.

NegativeCreepWA4971d ago

I don't mind paying $10 for five maps, but I put my foot down at $15 and stooped playing it because of it to.

Kalowest4971d ago

Nice ass scar20.
Thats too much for DLC, I can buy a game or 2 for $30.

Oldman1004972d ago

lol where's the horse armor?

TekoIie4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

thought the exact same thing ^^^

CREESH4971d ago

I bought em and couldn't play because nobody else has bought them.

TekoIie4971d ago

that doesnt make them a rip off dude.... They were not overpriced...

Cots14971d ago

Well i agree with creesh very few players playing the dlc, but i got the game a few months after it was out

P_Bomb4971d ago

That can apply to every game, that's why you get em when they're hot. Try the BioShock 2 map pack. Now THAT was a disaster. There's no rotations with the new maps, no filter like KZ2 so if one person doesn't have it then no one can play, and most haven't. Quantum of Solace map pack was bad too.

Kalowest4971d ago

Tons of ppl have the KZ2 DLC maps, it just that same of the original maps are better. The KZ2 maps are cheap/well-priced.

Led-Zeppelin4971d ago

The whole DLC business is a rip-off. Take 1/3 of game out and sell it for $15 a few months later, way to treat your customers.

"Every Single Avatar Accessory Ever, Xbox 360"

How about every PS Home accessory? No need to single out one company when they both do it.

Godmars2904971d ago

Except with the crap from Home you're not paying $4 for a shirt. You can buy virtual furniture sets, animated tattoos, in Home for what a pair of pants costs on XBL.

Though there is the $15 gold suit that rains money.

T9X694971d ago

The shirts and pants are never $4, there always $1-$2, mostly $2, the outfits are what is $4, like MW2 Army outfit, or Halo Armor, things like that. The thing is though, on XBL you're always seeing your friends avatars, you click on their profile, you see their avatar, you scroll through your friends on the dashboard you see everyone's avatar, there's even games you can use you're avatar. So at least if you waste the few bucks people will see it, where with PS Home you NEVER see your friends person unless you're playing Home and they are on.

IMO Home furniture that no one will ever probably see is pretty pointless. If you want to decorate an apartment or something, The Sims 3 just came out.

Kalowest4971d ago

I love my X360 Avatar Accessories, but hate my PS Home/Avatar Accessory. PSHome Sucks.

Resident Evil 5 - 15 Years of Being the Most Misunderstood Resident Evil

Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.

TheBrainZ94d ago

One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.

Knightofelemia94d ago

I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.

thesoftware73094d ago (Edited 94d ago )

5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.

6 was awful.

CrimsonWing6994d ago

I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷‍♂️

chobit_A5HL3Y94d ago

it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol

-Foxtrot94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.

You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.

Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.

It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.

franwex94d ago

At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.

chobit_A5HL3Y93d ago

like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.

people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.

5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.

RNTody69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.

@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.
