Day one dlc is bullshit?

One of the things I really don't like about games these days is that there is day one dlc, so the moment the game launches there is dlc but most times you have to pay for it to actually be able to play it. So instead of just giving you a full game developers love to cut it up a bit and try to sell you additional parts of the game on launch day. Is that bullshit? It sure looks like it!

Why the hate for day one dlc?

 Of course you can ignore it, it's purely optional and nobody forces you to buy it but it just seems so lame when you have to buy for something that should've been in the game. If you put dlc out there from the start then it should've been in the game, the same with dlc that is already announced before the game has even launched. At that point I just get the idea that developers want to drain some more money out of gamers instead of giving them something extra. It's such a shame that this is the new way of launching games, not giving you everything but add parts of the game as dlc that you have to pay for. That's a great way to piss gamers off and make certain that people might not pay for your dlc! The thing is that there are already so many games out there and we don't all have enough money to buy everything, if we also have to pay extra money to get the full game because developers cut the game into pieces for dlc that you have to pay for then what's left for us? Do we constantly have to pay for the same game until we finally get the whole deal? What happened to the this is the price and that is the full game deal? I like dlc, it gives you more stuff to do in the same game you like but when this is there from day one then I just can't help but get the feeling I'm being drained for money!

So dlc that is shows up later is ok?

 Is that weird? I mean what if developers still do the same thing but just launch the dlc a couple of months later? Is that ok? Not really but this is the type of stuff to get paranoid over, because what if all the dlc was supposed to be in the game but developers decided to keep it out of the game and later introduced it as dlc. Once you start with that then I don't know where it ends! Let's just try to assume that dlc that is available several months later isn't something that was cut from the game. I might be wrong but once you start thinking that way then everything is wrong and dlc will never be the same anymore. It just irritates me how developers are now confident enough to just launch the game and have dlc for purchase on day one as well, that is just the type of arrogance that makes me want to ignore the game. But unfortunately the majority will buy popular games anyway and buy the dlc so developers will just keep doing what they're doing because we're not going to stop buying their stuff so why would they stop with the dlc bullshit?

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
