The gadget show metions new DLC and 2.03 update.

[another_jakhole]

For about a year this site was full of people complaining that PD hadn't given us DLC. Now we are getting a steady stream of DLC and this site is full of people complaining about having to pay for the DLC. There really is no pleasing some people. I guess it's PD's fault for giving us so many cars in the first DLC pack, now if they do anything less people are going to complain that they've been ripped off somehow.

Myself, I will buy every bit of DLC that comes out just as my way of saying thank you to PD for the numerous updates they have given us to improve the game. It's not a perfect game, it never will be and they've had to make compromises to work around the limited RAM in the console. But in this day and age it's amazing to see a company stand behind and support their product so long after release and I applaud them for it. They've even given us at least 3 or 4 cars for free, how many other developers have done that?

Same people who said they (the first Car Pack) weren't even new cars. They still required a lot of work to produce and were made as race-ready cars. They've been fair with the pricing as of yet. IF Route X isn't a legitimate drag racing track, then I can call it the first unreasonably priced DLC pack. I can speak for some people that would have expected more than one track in a Track PACK. The way it can make up for being a lone track in a Track Pack is by being a true drag racing event...track.

How many developers give anything away for free? Let alone a years worth of updates. Sure, there were some slow times in between update releases, but that downtime is when most other people (not me) had their lives to live without bashing PD. I say, "not me", because I was/am here defending GT5/PD/Kaz while brushing up on my grammar/typing skills. It was win/win for me.

^The DLC is a speed test pack, you pay for that new feature and the map. And BrandonW77 that was one of best preaches I've ever read 👍

EA gave PC users all DLC packs for free for shift 2 (only to get them to use Origin tho)
T10 has given free cars with all DLC.
Criterion gave free DLC with Burnout Paradise.

Please play some other games 💡

Ohh I forgot to take that into account. I was keeping in mind how badly people wanted a drag strip and I was thinking about the casual/avid players that wouldn't necessarily NEED this track. That may or may not include me. I don't need this track, and it's not like I won't appreciate just having it, but there are some serious racers here and I'm nowhere near that position of needing this track. Like always, I have to be unbiased. Truth is, this track is without a doubt, the most useful piece of DLC that's been offered to us.

I asked, "How many?" Not that PD were the only ones to give stuff away for free. Good for the PC Shift 2 owners, but like you pointed out, it wasn't exactly out of generosity. OOOH. That's better. How many developers are generous like PD? Pretty much, only PC game devs.

I'm really not trying to sound like a smart ass. Excuse me, if you thought I was being one.

And Turn 10 is sheisty/shady (FM3 "Ultimate" Edition for one). EA is the devil.

EA - ONE case

I know it's optional, but it shouldn't even BE.

With that logic, we shouldn't get DLC at all, since all that content "should have been included in the game already" am I right?

That's why I didn't reply to that. Sometimes I hear a faucet dripping when I read things like that. It leaves me speechless and empty of thoughts.

Even though you got it as part of the original game in GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4?

Not many because other company's would rather release a new game every year instead of fixing the other game 1st and know people will still buy it every year.

Just like any company can charge what they want for DLC or retail game on the PSN store they know people will pay that price.

You can't beat that reasoning.

The thing I was trying to point out is that it doesn't get my approval, no doubt most others', which is why when people complain about these DLC prices, we're looking around and saying that we should be grateful, if anything. We're practically getting User updates, now. A lot of what we've asked for has come to life through updates. The DLC prices aren't overblown when you look at the whole picture. Even then, it's really not expensive.
