Map Packs are such a fucking rip off

[Daddy]

Black Ops is on its third one now so that means $45 worth of map packs on top of a $60 game.

Don't have all 3 map packs? The amount of possible people to play with is much lower since some people will be on those maps.

Did you buy 2/3 packs?  Sucks for you, you don't have all the maps but you have more than some people so you can't play the 2 packs with people who have 1 or 0 packs and you are missing a pack so that 30 dollars was wasted.

Bought all 3 packs? You can get play with the small subset who bought all 3 packs or just not use your full $45 and play with people who dont have all the maps.

and holy shit why are they 15 bucks each? even halo reach has 10 dollar map packs which is absurd.

fuck dlcs

[don't let's]

15 bucks? That hilarious in a way.

That's why I never buy games at full price.

although it takes patience and caution to not stumble upon spoilers for a game i'm buying later than everyone else is but at least i don't end up paying $105 for a game that should only have been $60

It's difficult with Nintendo games but I'm more willing to purchase their games at closer to full price because they haven't started (read: can't) abusing DLC yet.

i must have bought >$200 worth of rock band songs

[Hiro]

most dlc is fucking terrible, the red dead undead nightmare and rock band songs being an exception.

Simple solution: Don't buy them.

[YPrrrr]

I've never bought any downloadable content

[ME##]

[Bushy]

I am gay and only buy alternate costumes for characters as DLC.

Fuck anything else.

[Cookie]

The only DLC I've ever purchased was the Halo 2 map packs and Shivering Isles for oblivion.

[Infel]

I got the other characters in Killing Floor.

Fuck you, Thorne is awesome.

I bought my Black Ops for $40 and it came with a voucher for the first map pack

Only getting the others if they become $5.

By that time, it'll be like MW2: Dead.

Even then, Modern Warfare 2 doesn't stink like a pile of Activision shit.

Good job missing the point where I paid 60 bucks for a fucking game and other people are buying the map packs meaning if people are playing on those maps then the total possible number of people I can play with goes down since I can't play on the maps they can.
