Secura Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Something the size of TBOGT and TLAD put together would be great, though they should only start work on it after the main games finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 f*ck DLC. It's ruining gaming. Include everything in the vanilla game, please. How is DLC ruining gaming? Just look at GTA--which has better DLC than any other game out there, really. With IV, we have a strong central story and character, but many of the game's best features (like parachuting, tanks, and crazy weapons/cheats) are relegated to TBOGT, which has a weak story and under-developed protag. This is sad to me, sorry. Now fast forward to V. We've been waiting forever. Personally, I'd rather have had V a year sooner than waiting an extra year for R* to develop TLAD and TBOGT. I never felt like I was in Johnny or Luis' shoes because their stories were short afterthoughts to IV. I'd rather have worked for a night club as Niko or taken over the a biker gang as Niko (not unlike being able to join every damn guild you want in Skyrim). I want to skydive and basejump as Niko; use exploding sniper rounds as Niko. DLC broke up IV into chunks that would have been so much stronger as a whole. So, yeah, DLC is even hurting R* games. Now, look at every other franchise, like CoD. DLC is making vanilla games weaker and our pockets that much thinner. Really not a fan. Keep in mind it was always planned along side of GTA IV. I don't like simple packs or MP specific ones. EFLC was DLC done right IMO. I never once felt it was a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HbKYolrr Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 As with most things "Quality over quantity", so i would just prefer 1 or 2 DLC's, i think they hit the spot with the GTA IV DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Driver Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) If they'll make these pre-order DLCs and other minor DLCs like they did with RDR and LA Noire, I'll just download them for free. I ain't paying the same amount of money for the stuff that was already in the game. Piracy isn't cute Butchering game into pieces to sell as pre-order DLC and post release DLC after 1 week - that is really not cute. I pay $50 for the game - I have the consumer right to get all content equal to that price. + I wasn't saying anything about piracy, I was talking about getting some minor stuff for myself for free. Digital piracy - is when you clone copies and then sell them without publisher's permission. Edited February 11, 2012 by Street Mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic you condone stealing the PS4 at release because it will inevitably be sold at a lower price bundled with more games. It's business - it's called an extension strategy.

Tipper Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm usually the anti-DLC kind of guy, but TLAD and TBOGT were exceptions. They were not these kinds of contents you could have had in the original game. Well, sure, they could have included the weapons, vehicles, features and some missions in IV, but what really made the episodes interesting is the new atmosphere. R* use major cities as settings for their games, and cities like NY have so much diversity and possibilities of gangster stories, NY allows you to make stories about eastern-european gangs, afro-american, south american, carribean gangs, european mafias, biker gangs... So it was definitely a good idea to make three different stories. Plus the point of view of each protagonist was different, making us see the city differently, depending on the protagonist's opinion on the city (Niko being new, sees LC as it is, he has a neutral point of view. Luis grew up in LC, it's his town and sees it positively, the sun shines more often in TBOGT, everything appears brighter... And Johnny being anti-conformist, he has a very negative view of things in LC, it rains a lot more in TLAD, sunsets have a yellow-ish feel...). Los Angeles offers as much diversity as NY, so I'd love to see big DLCs like IV's episodes, to see the city(ies?) differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTF Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Examples of bad DLC by other companies: Selling MP maps Selling MP characters Selling MP weapons Ripping chapters out of the main game to sell to you later as DLC, so that you never get the full experience on your first play-through They need to make DLC because they need to persuade us to hang on to the original game, and not sell it to the used market - fewer copies in the Used section means more original sales for them. So we are we doing them a favour AND paying them more money? It's nothing but a price hike by stealth. By contrast, Rockstar's Episodes were the perfect DLC. Both episodes together easily constituted another game's worth of material, and in fact each one was longer than many AAA SP campaigns. They gave us new protagonists, new radio, even an improved engine. They forced us to become familiar with the whole map, making the best use of all that development of the city. I could still go back to IV now and play the trilogy back to back and not get bored. On top of all of the other good points about EFLC, you didn't even need the original game to play it. It's so refreshing that there was no con trick about it, nothing dirty that spoils the purchase. I hope they continue that model for V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Wilson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd want dlc that isn't planned from the start. not dlc that holds back from having parachutes and new features in the first place. i enjoyed the EFLC but annoyed me that a guy that works in a club could parachute but an ex army guy like niko couldn't. also features like shooting a shotgun from a bike should of been added to IV once you bought the dlc. i'd be happy with extra missions for the original character you play in V. extra interiors and possibly alot smaller islands to fly to. even just add secret weapons or secret vehicles like the sultan RS to find to keep the gameplay going. DLC is a good thing but developers seem to abuse it and some even don't make the original game to its full potential knowing they can charge later for stuff people really want all in all if they make gta V absolutely amazing which i'm sure it will be i'd be happy with small DLC. maybe even free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should keep making features exclusive to each adventure. It's all a matter of feeling, atmosphere, vibe, whatever you call it. If buying both DLCs allowed all three characters to shoot a sawn-off shotgun from a bike, parachute, have gangs wars, partake in bike races with baseball bats, use sticky bombs etc... all three adventures would feel too close from each other. The more different they make them, the more interesting each is. The only thing from DLCs that should be added to the original is the music, and it was in IV (unless you bought EFLC instrad of downloading TLAD and TBOGT individually).

SGT. Johnson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 What is interesting to think about here is that R* said they would "be focusing on smaller DLCS unlike EFLC". The word "small" however, to R* could mean a totally different meaning than what we associate small with. Perhaps it will be LIKE EFLC, only smaller, more concise so they can fit more into it. This may sound like a stupid post but it makes sense. Try#2: perhaps R* can just include more vehicles, weapons, clothing, activities, unlocakables, casinos, safehouses, storyline charatcers, and sh*t in their DLCs. Perhaps this is their solution to NOT including everything they said they would in IV. AGH! I can't explain it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
