Good call, PR.
Judging from the announced dlcs, I would think the vast majority are cosmetic choices.
It could be in new areas, reached from a Hub.
It’s probably intended to keep people playing and/or stuff they wanted to do but couldn’t meet publisher deadlines. Be glad it’s free, EA/Ubisoft/Capcom would charge you for it. (though, I actually agree. I like how TES and Fallout handle things better. Full blown expansions several months in. We all knew they were coming and are totally cool with spending $120 on a game we’re going to put thousands of hours into)
Anyone else think this is a bit overkill? Is anyone going to actually play all 16 DLCs?? I think it would be rather annoying to have to keep revisiting a section of the game every week because something new appeared there that wasn’t there when you came through 3 days before…
Can companies just give us a complete game already? Add an expansion a few months in if it is successful?
