$15 too much for downloadable content?

some people are never happy.

To reiterate what Capo said, yeah. Getting your money's worth is always a nice perk, you know? A solid finished product is ALWAYS better than some half finished crap. Expansion packs are one thing, but charging that much for a small bundle of content seems silly.

Tony brought up that point that it's a sizable amount of content. Expansion packs tend to be about or almost as big as the original product, this is not that big an update. 5 bucks seems reasonable for what you get. No more.

On a side note: This is one of the things I was scared of when Live went with the MSP system. I was hoping it'd take a bit before developers pushed out half finished games and started charging extra for the other half. I have nothing against map packs and the like, but this seems like a large chunk of content that easily could have shipped with the game had it's release been pushed back a tiny bit. This seems like a huge money grab. Lame. Especially since it won't ever go free later on like the Halo maps eventually did.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I thought GRAW was crap for the same reasons Shin did. It takes the Ghost Recon out of Ghost Recon. Lame. ;_;

Although you are correct in stating that it was widely well recieved, it is clear that since it's not been out that long that this content was either half ready or at least in some stage of development as the game went Gold. I could be compeltely wrong here but it seems like this sort of thing could have been added to the final game code with just a short delay in release.

Then again, the game could be completely modular and easy to create new content for, much like Oblivion. I could be completely wrong. I don't really know. It just feels like a ripoff. I dunno how else to say it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
