Do you ever buy DLC content?

[Visor]

I've done it before, though quite rarely. Depends on the content, how much I enjoy the game, whether I will enjoy the DLC or whatever.

I'll probably pick up the BioShock DLC sometime, because I really enjoyed that game. I've got all the Skyrim DLCs minus Dragonborn (on PC which I uh, got illegitimately which I justify by the fact I bought the bastard on PS3 and it is only now getting DLC). But I'll pick them all up for PS3 anyway. Other then that I can't remember any DLC I have bought. My brother has bought the Fallout NV DLC, haven't tried it yet.

Bought plenty of expansion packs though.

I often buy DLC. It is just like buying a special edition to a game or buying the expansions to some of the older games.

DLC is usually a better deal than the add-ons to older games as it comes at a lower price.

I don’t see it as a ripoff and it usually makes the companies support the games a bit longer.

Sometimes I buy DLC's but if a game has several DLC's, I pick and choose what I know I'll enjoy. For instance in Skyrim, they have that own your own house DLC, skipped that cause I have the PC version and can d/l tons of mods for free. They also have that expanded vampire role and what not DLC, skipped that too cause it's not my play style. The new DLC coming out for PC soon, that expands the story, and that's the kind of DLC's that interest me.

I own every DLC CA made for Shogun 2, and I've enjoyed every last one of them. And most of them I purchased during a sale, in which case even the expensive ones cost me a happy meal.

Definitely agree on Xcom, there are an endless supply of ideas for that game. I just hope that what they come out expands the depth of the game, like fleshing out the strategy layer, right now it basically equates to build satellites, or do a better job with interception, or allow more bases, and base invasion, or co-op. I mean seriously, it's just ridiculous how much they could do with it.

If I like a game, yeah. I'm the kind of gamer who doesn't like short throw-away games, so the kinds of games I tend to buy are Strategy, RPGs, Simulators, Sports, etc. I'm always happy to spend a few extra dollars if it extends the life of a game I really enjoy playing. Case-in-point lately would be Xcom: Enemy Unknown. I'm eagerly awaiting more DLC for that one.

Me, too. If I play the game a lot, I get the DLC. The income keeps the devs on the job, enhancing the product. For niche games like the WWI flight sim Rise of Flight, a lot of new content (in this case aircraft) would not be available were it not for the DLC income stream.

Some DLC are worth the money. I bought almost every Saint's Row the Third DLC. The Trouble With Clones DLC gave me about 30 minutes of content. Definitely not worth the money I spent for it. However, the Borderlands 2 DLC are all worth it. It adds a completely new aspect to the game, which the SR3 did not achieve.

Borderlands 2 DLC is worth it? $1 for a new custom head, and there are like 20 of them. More unfortunately is how once you buy one, you download a small 10mb file which contains all of them, and future purchases simply is a text line saying "bought = yes".
Torque DLC was pretty crud too.
