The horde's of downloadable content that's been unloaded is making those holes in my Swiss cheese gamercard even bigger. I'm pretty shocked at the amount of crap lurking on it for piles of monies. Most DLC is crap with the exceptions being maps for mutliplayer games you enjoy, some of the Fallout 3 stuff, and GTAIV. Everything else seems to be overpriced garbage. If you've played the Saints Row 2 DLC I hope you can agree.
Here is what I am missing and how much it would cost me to get these mostly easy achievements.

I am in no way against DLC but I am against overpriced fluff DLC.
To get that 90% completion I eventually want, I would just have to spend roughly $450 on crap. That would put me right around 89% gamerscore completion.
You may want to watch what you play in the future. Any game can and will come up out of it's grave and unleash crappy DLC on your face.
Xbox LIVE Gamerscore & Achievement Leader Stallion83. World's First Ever 1,000,000 Gamerscore achieved on 3.13.14.....and still climbing.
Just FYI, the Bioshock DLC is free. You get a Ryan Industries tonics pack that's made available from Gatherer's Garden. The achievement actually comes from a patch on the game and is the Brass Balls achievement, I think.
ReplyDeleteBig WTF to you, Stal. Marathon is a considerably well-priced DLC add-on for the quality of game itself... I think I bought that shit.
ReplyDeleteStupid COG armor might be a wiser purchase over that Marathon junk. You should know how much it hurts me to say that.
ReplyDeleteYo, Stalion, how you been mate? I was wondering as i have the German BioShock here which cost me and arm and a leg can i get DLC from the German marketplace and play on my UK account like you can with arcade games?
ReplyDeleteCheers bud
p.s if you still need more online cheev's on The Club PC let me know i wanna finish it now i have a decent graphics card lol.
Burnout Paradise has some quite expensive DLC.
ReplyDeleteI second that. In addition to DLC, Xbox Live Arcade titles are overpriced. The new ones released in year 2009 are not any better than the ones published during years 2006-2008.
ReplyDeleteI remember making a similar blog post bitching about DLC and then being told to man up. I wonder who that guy was... :P
ReplyDeleteyo man u should add me on xbox i've been followin u for a bit and it would be sik to be on ur friends list add x666xAFTERLIFEx
ReplyDeleteprobably was me Marx =P
ReplyDeleteMarathon DLC is overpriced since nobody plays multiplayer, but it is still a great game.
