Resident Evil 5, DLC, and cash-grabs
March 23, 2010
Over at Popmatters — who lovingly sends me games to review in exchange for my opinions — I reviewed the Resident Evil 5 downloadable content packs.
DLC is a thing we have to deal with as gamers today. Often, developers will sit on DLC that used to be on-disc and save it for a DLC release, usually to make money. If you want to the most out of your favorite game, you’re compelled to buy DLC. The RE5 content made me sad, as I love the game, probably more than most did/do. But Lost in Nightmares was trash. To summarize my review: at $5, it’s not a rip-off, but it’s not worth the price of admission.
Stay tuned to Popmatters for my review of the other, better DLC.
