Things seem to be regressing to a point - going back to the "good old days"

I remember the reason being that carts offered a superior gaming experience because of the lack of load times.

Finally got on the RDR bandwagon, a buddy of mine got me a copy for x-mas.  It really is a pretty awesome game, you should give it a shot.

Any DLC was then used to expand the experience of the game. Think about how expansions, conversions and mods were treated in the old days. Even extra, but largely unnecessary, goodies were tolerable. But when the companies decided that DLCs were necessary to complete a game, that's when they ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up. I stopped playing Little Big Planet because I was constantly reminded of the missing DLC. Bioshock is tolerable but the reminder is there, just not as obvious.

I don't know what is worse, forced DLC or patches on the first day of release.

---fudgesicle--- yeah man Im with you on that. I get the whole concept of DLC, but what Capcom did with MvC3 is complete ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. They have 2 characters come out as DLC a month after launch, and they are 5 bucks EACH. Not to mention, they are complete garbage to play. Part of the appeal of MvC2 was that there was SO much ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- to unlock. In MvC3 you play it through a couple times and EVERYTHING is unlocked. 4 characters. You want more characters? You gotta buy em AFTER you already spent 65 bucks on the game. Oh whats that? You want more costumes? Gotta wait for the DLC content to come out so you can BUY those. Its ridiculous. If this is the trend, Im just gonna stop buying games. I mean, how much money do these ---uvulas--- have to make?!  :angry:

I agree, that is why DLC is a waste of money and a rip off, unless it comes out 2 or 3 months later with actual content. Everyone should protest it, I'm not buying it for 2 extra characters that should of came with the game already :censored:

That is all I play as well. I like pick up and play without an hour of pre rendered video.

Just getting in on this topic....

Man, how could anyone say Angry Birds requires no skill?

I will not move past a level until I get three stars. Try to live by that rule and tell me how easy it is.
Donkbaca:
I just don't find angry birds interesting.

But then again, I think Pigskin Football 621 AD is f-ing awesome, so maybe I'm just different.  It gets played at much on my MAME setup as anything else.
