  Downloadable Content

  Possibly a ressurection for me..

  Here's my thought on Downloadable Content. Bethesda has taken some bashing for their DLC, and infamously for the 'horse armor' pack. But here is what I think about DLC.

  When Assassin's Creed came out, I was excited to say the least. The aspect of incorporating stealth/combat/open world gaming in a time period that was pretty unique, was all a recipe for a purchase in my collection. I enjoyed the game very much, and purchased the second as well. Before I knew it, Brotherhood came out, and then Revelations. This is all in between the Elder Scrolls released Oblivion and Skyrim. 4 games in comparison to 1 release from Elder Scrolls. Yes, Bethesda has other projects such as Fallout 3, which didn't prove much better by releasing New Vegas as well.

  The mission has become, how much money can we squeeze out of our gamers before they stop buying our games. Assassin's Creed has gotten away with 3 titles or slightly improving/modifying their game. My friends, that is a downloadable content. There is no reason why developers should be making a brand new game because they put together a 'new story' and a new gameplay feature.

  As a result, I have not purchased the last two Assassin's Creed games, which is really too bad because I did have general interest in the storyline. However, when a developer releases a new game in less than a year, how different can it be? Why aren't these developers releasing DLC for their games, all while revamping their next title which, like Skyrim (or any of the Elder Scrolls titles), is a vast improvement of its predecessor.

  Developers should utilize our generation of gaming, and release DLCs. Don't make us pay $60 for the same experience. I feel like I've been conned, and I've lost trust in these developers. Epic got by fine with the Gears of War series, and they did not release game after game to get you to buy into the most current experience (Call of Duty).

  My ears are open to critisism.
