My thoughts on DLC
By ccraft 36 Comments
I don't recall buying all that much DLC when I owned a PS3, although I did have more games back then. But I wasn't the one buying all these expensive games. So I was a care free gamer at that time.
But now you can't go to a gaming forum and without see people arguing about downloadable content. But maybe it's just a very small vocal minority of the community who hates DLC. I bought my PS4 and the first game I got was Evolve by Turtle Rock Studios. I only own 3 games, Evolve, Bloodborne, and The Witcher 3, with Evolve being my most played game, and Evolve is the only game I buy DLC for.
With the recent Season Pass (6/23) being announced many have accused Turtle Rock Studios of being greedy and not caring for the gaming community, which isn't new. The first Season Pass ($24.99) included 4 new hunters ($7.49 each) and 1 monster ($14.99), you can either pay $25 for the season pass right away or end up paying $44.95 separately without it. Sounds like a good deal to me. Even then you could maybe buy 1 character a month if your wallet is tight.
I don't see the big deal with DLC for games, you can either buy them or don't. Most of it is optional. Evolve's DLC mainly consist of weapon and monster skins. Evolve also provides weekly challenges which give you free skins if you participate. They also provide tons of characters for you to use besides the additional hunters and monsters. A total of 12 characters and 3 monsters included in the game.
The hate against this game is unjustified. If you really enjoy and care for a game you'll want to buy the additional features that it provides.
TLDR: (RIGFY) Reading Is Good For You
