Expansion packs Rip off / worthwile




Having recently read that activison's Cod Black ops has just sold over 25 million units 3 million more than the previous record holder Mw2 and has now released its fourth add on to date i ask you the question

ARE WE BEING RIPPED OFF?

can u please post Xbox related stuff in the Xbox section?

If you bought World at War yes. cuz the maps are better on this game. guns are acctually related to the time of the maps based.

[Penguin]

Yes, you are.

But people will still buy it anyway because they don't care about not being ripped off.

yes these are what we like to call... CoD fanboyz.

i aint just talking about black ops here but mainly all expansions are any worth it i know some on the pc are pretty good

[Penguin]

Well I do not class a few maps and an extra gun as an expansion pack.

A real expansion pack would be a fallout 3 one, the GTA IV ones etc.

I would also count the Fable 3 expansions as they introduce a further campain,

anything following added campain content is mostly worth it.

World of Warcraft (like the game or not) has expansions which are actually worth all the money, at least looking at the amount of content, updates and new stuff. 5€ for the 1st one (even for free if you buy the basic game), 10-15€ fort he 2nd and 20€ for the 3rd. And being released once in 2 years it's more serious than the EA crap with 1 """expansion""" per week or month. Each of them has more content than any CoD + all of its expansions + next 3 CoD games.

Waiting for Soldy to fall in Call of fanboy rage.

Agreed.

[Soldey] Omg Ironhide, how can you say such bullshit? Wow sucks so hard. COD is so much better. The map pack DLC's are great value, srsly, £9001 for 2 maps, omg the best value ever. It's so fun, realistic but entertaining at the same time man... COD > BF3.

I want to edit this for spam but since penguin is too awsome i am not going to.

I also found this too funny.

but surely it matters how much play you will get out of a expansion like if you buy a cod pack and get 100 hours gameplay out of it then surely the joke is on them

[Barcode]

Not really because i couldn't play 100 hours on a map pack.

[Penguin]

Nah. It's just the principle. How much you are addicted to the game and whether it clouds your sense of 'im being robbed'.

COD games are average at best, definitely a complete rip off to charge for a few maps. How about releasing an editor instead and not raping us dry of every last drop of cash?

Beacuse Halo did this and it worked. Being CoD they cannot have anythign that really works. comes with the game i guess.

Yeah but then you are just repeating the content (playing each map 200 times for example), but if you take a look at WoW, you need several months even to see everything once (and you wont finish everything anyway), due to the updates beside the expanions you can't finish the game anyway. There is just so much content, you can criticize the price you need to pay per month, but even that is less than buying a CoD mappack each month or 2nd month. :)
