The idea may have spawned elsewhere, but it was Xbox Live that made it big. Only after they came out with achievements and gamerscore did everybody else have to jump on the bandwagon. Now PS3 has trophies, steam has achievements, and every new game loves to list how many achievements they have.



DLC is rarely, if EVER, an expansion. Expansions used to be essentially new games that just required the previous game to run. DLC are little crumbs and scraps that sell for several dollars each.

That's often the case with Bioware's offerings, it seems. I'd say that Knights of the Nine as well as New Vegas' and FO3's add-ons are about the minimum I'd want to see, regardless of what they're called. Paying a fiver for "oh wow, a single mesh that someone threw together in a couple of hours" or a single quest lasting half an hour is the sort of thing that gives add-on content a bad name.

It's why I buy a maximum of 2-3 games a year. If that. Video Games nowadays are just not interesting me anymore. Very few I will look into.



+1 to that. I've been actually on the lookout for RPG's in the last couple of months and, although i was looking for more recent similar a-like's of good old Icewind Dale, totally forgot about the Elder Scrolls series and Skyrim was a blessing

Truthfully, I think I'm done with cRPG's unless someone buys one for me. They've gone in a direction that I really don't care for, so I'll save my money for more mochas!
