Most/all GTA games do, if I'm not mistaken.unstabLized said:
San Andreas certainly does. But you're right, it should be standard.
Uhhhh?Sack of Cheese said:
You're surprised to find out that they win in the end?
Maybe... they're telling the truth.KungFuJazzHands said:
Maybe... they're being good developers and avoiding feature creep. (For an example of a game with too much feature creep, see Duke Nukem Forever.)
Maybe... this is a Bayonetta 2 situation, and DLC is the only reason we'll ever end up seeing an official Bollywood dance number ending.
Not all things happen for unpleasant reasons, you know.
Well... Isn't that odd.
I'll be honest here, this game doesn't sound funny. Surreal humour is only funny with some reference, if everything and everyone in the game is snooker loopy it's just not funny. This is why sitcoms have the straight-man, otherwise it's about as funny as someone shouting 'Purple monkey cheese! Aren't I random?'

You know, I usually can't stand DLC, but I would pay money to add a Bollywood dance number to the end of literally any game. Think about that, publishers. Think about that.
I don't buy the excuse that Volition are being honest in this case, especially given their DLC history with SR3. Anyway, the "time/schedule/budget constraint" justification for releasing content after the original release date is used far too often by developers who are only interested in milking as much cash as possible out of their customers.lacktheknack said:
THQ and Volition were two of the biggest perpetrators of the DLC-flood scheme that is currently drowning the video games industry, and I for one am not comfortable just giving Volition the benefit of the doubt here.
Why did I? Because there's nothing better than Timesplitters >:Ojaded zombie said:

The DLC with SR3 had nothing to do with the main game and were totally separate things in their own right. The DLC did their own thing and added content to the game rather than only using in game assets..well minus the extra guns as that's lame in any game.KungFuJazzHands said:
Not convinced they're not going to DLC flood their game? Well they're giving Saints Row 4 full mod support on PC so, whatever you want to think but I'm pretty sure that right there is the stamp of extra awesome. So even if they did put out DLC there'll be plenty of user made content for the game. Hopefully they modders will add in something along the lines of the island of SR2. Actually looking up info now they're actually giving SR3 mod support too, so there's that.
The Constraints Complaints are common because they happen to EVERY SINGLE GAME that's ever made.KungFuJazzHands said:
I mean hell, we're currently watching Double Fine suffer this exact thing right now, except they DIDN'T hold back and now they don't have enough money to finish the project in one go!
I'm another one of the killjoys who preferred SR2 to SR3. Maybe SR4 will go so wacky it will be good in spite of itself. They certainly seem to be trying for that. It's kinda sad really, like your dad trying to be cool (I think that's what you kids call it these days?)
All of you saying this will be like 3, go look up idolninja spoilers for saints row 4 on google. He's one of the modders working with violition to help perfect the pc port and he's revealed some great things. Hint: this game will be like 2 despite the superpowers.
Erm, the DLC for SR3 were actually integrated into the game and could be accessed at any time throughout the main campaign, so I don't see how you can claim they had nothing to do with the main game. And just because the DLC packs happened to use unique assets doesn't mean they weren't originally vanilla content pulled from the game before release day.Snotnarok said:
Inclusion of mod support doesn't necessarily mean exclusion of DLC content. Look at Bethesda: they have a long history of full mod support for their games, but that doesn't stop them from releasing content packs when they feel the need to make a few more bucks on the side.
Even if that were true, there would still be developers who are capable of maintaining a timely schedule and budget. And some of those developers can even manage to avoid using "constraints" as an excuse to sell overpriced post-release content.lacktheknack said:
So there are no good Will Ferrel movies?iniudan said:
(Well, to be fair, I haven't seen that second movie....)
Nope. It doesn't matter how organized and tight your scheduling and budgeting is, feature creep is ALWAYS a problem. Games take a while to make, and people keep getting little bright ideas and fun concepts that they want to include in the game. Eventually, you have to take a pair of editing shears to some of those ideas, because there are always too many. The amount of additions the devs want to add will always outpace the additions they do add.KungFuJazzHands said:
There's some text adventure makers available for free. Try one. You WILL cut some of your ideas, or you will never finish your project. There's just no way around it.
And DLC is a method of adding some of those good ideas back in, so I support it.
Also, define overpriced. I'm not so anal-retentive that I MUST HAVE ALL THE DLC, unlike some people I've seen on this site, and thus I've never bought DLC for a price that I ended up deciding was too much for what I got. What can I say, I'm a savvy shopper.
Yes as they were put out the DLC was integrated into the game for a good reason, otherwise you can't play co-op with friends who had it. They weren't in the game prior to the DLC being issued. This way if your friend didn't have the DLC he could still hop in and if you decided to use a space ship from the DLC, he could see/use it. Otherwise the game wouldn't be able to function.KungFuJazzHands said:
I never said they were or weren't pulled from the game, only that the story is complete without the need for DLC. The DLC missions are totally different from the main game with their own stuff with their own areas and unique missions.
I don't get the complaints especially when there's far far worse DLC abuse like capcom or dragon age while in game it would taunt you with DLC you didn't have and all of it was excessively priced. I mean during the steam sale you could get SR3+all the DLC for 7 bucks.
