One of my personal favorite games, Crusader Kings II, constantly gets updates and cool DLC all of the time. There’s nothing like downloading crazy new weapons or characters into one of your favorite games. This allows for new, creative ideas to enter the fold and enchant gamers past the last chapter of the game’s story. Skyrim, along with having extensive modding capabilities, has received countless DLC packages since its release in 2011. With Fallout 3, it came in the form of Broken Steel, which fundamentally changed the ending, (or rather expanded upon it), and threw the player into a new set of adventures that added extreme longevity to the game, and added a new free-roam aspect to the game that was sorely lacking before.īethesda continued this tradition with their other Fallout games, as well as heavily modifying The Elder Scrolls Skyrim. It is either in the form of new quests or new characters, hopefully making your gaming experience more cohesive. Like my example of DLC above, story-based adds new things to the game’s story. This is but one type of DLC, in my opinion, the best form that is offered to us gamers. It was a great experience, I was thrust back into the rich world of post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. Luckily for myself and others, Bethesda eventually developed extensive DLC to modify Fallout 3.
The player plays these games for hours on end, investing their time, emotions, and intellect into a story of a game only to have it not deliver. I won’t drop any spoilers for those who haven’t finished it, but let’s just say that the ending left a lot to be desired.
DLC can truly be the redeeming quality for developers and gamers alike. There have been some truly great DLCs…and some DLCs that proved to be more of a train wreck than a benefit to the game’s overall presentation.ĭLC also allows the game developer to go back and perhaps fix issues that plague the game that they weren’t able to fix or get to before the deadline of the game’s release. Games can be extended through new story missions, extra weapons, new secret areas, and more. What do you do? The game is over, there’s nothing left.Ĭoming to your aid is DLC or downloadable content – which thankfully has become a big part of the gaming business.ĭLC allows game developers to continue to work on their games, adding new content and new additions that can modify gameplay greatly. However, maybe the ending isn’t satisfying, or you crave more gameplay and content. You put countless hours into beating it: collecting items, maxing out stats, and finding all the secrets it has to offer. Do you find yourself staying up late at night trying to beat a game?
