NeoBatWare

Okay, so what could I have done to make it better? I'm looking to improve please!

So...what do you all think? Constructive criticism? http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/mlohr21/Sigs/steadfast.png

Wind Waker>Majora's Mask>Ocarina>Twilight But this is all just my opinion. Hopefully this next Zelda will be better than TP. TP was great, but didn't have the same Zelda-ish feel I normally get. I think that was due to the lack of a musical instrument and memorable songs.

Let me begin by just stating the obvious--I hate DLC. I don't like the idea of it, I don't like that companies use it, and I definitely don't like how it has become so common. Let me also state that the kind of DLC that I am talking about is the kind that is released within 2-3 months of the game's initial release. Now with those two things out of the way, let me begin... What is DLC? DLC (or downloadable content) is content that is release for download over the internet for a certain game that seeks to expand upon the game past what the original game included. Before console games were norm and players had access to things like the XBOX Live Marketplace, DLC was known as Expansion Packs. These were separate discs one would purchase and install on their computer to expand the game. Essentially DLC is Expansion Packs, just without the disc. Typically DLC does not seek to further the main story if it is for RPG games or things like that, they merely add more quests and new areas to explore. In shooters, they often add maps, but nothing else. In theory this all sounds really nice, but it is more about how it is executed then what DLC is. So what is wrong with DLC you might ask? I mean it only costs $10 for 4 new halo maps, or $11 for the new nazi zombies area. But that's just the thing--it still costs money! You may be calling me frugal at this point because I am complaining about spending money for added gameplay, plus these days anything under $20 can be considered a great deal. But the thing I don't get and is my biggest complaint about DLC is that you are essentially paying for added content that the game developers intentionally left out so they could make more money. I mean, why should I have to pay more for having the game do what it is supposed to do and provide me with a fun experience? It's the same issue I have with Wii MotionPlus. Developers promise that the game will deliver something great, but they may intentionally leave a few things out so they can come back later and sell what they already had developed and could have been ready for the game's release. One thing I think is incredibly stupid is when developers say that they already have DLC in development before the original game is even released! I mean that is basically them saying "Hey we have these extra maps/missions ready, but we're gonna leave them out of the original game so you can buy it all later." And it all works! The second a new Call of Duty map comes out, people buy that stuff up in an instant! They don't see that they are paying way more than it is actually worth. I mean $15 for 2 multiplayer maps? That is absurd. I'm already paying $60 for the original game, is that not enough? Now I am not saying all DLC is bad. When done correctly it can really help out a company's image. But in order to handle DLC correctly, here is what they need to do... 1. Release original game. 2. Wait a bit to see how well the game does and if there is a demand for more. 3. If DLC is wanted by many and the game is doing well, then begin looking into how to improve the game. 4. Spend time developing new content for the game. 5. Release DLC for a price that is $10 or less, depending on how much content it is/time spent on it. This entire process can and should take a few months! Development of the DLC should not be started any sooner than a few weeks after game's release depending on the demand and success of the game. No more releasing it 1 week after the game is out! I just don't understand why I have to pay more for the game to do something that it is supposed to do on top of the already over-priced game. But if developers take their time, put love into it, and provide the player with new and fresh content in DLC that is released with a substantial gap in time after the initial game, then I am okay with it. Anyone else feel the same?

The new models for the weapons and marines are nice but if game play is still the same "Rush rockets and hold power weapons are the only way to win" then I might not personally be interested. But that is just my opinion! It will probably play just like Halo 3 which is what most people want so that's probably a good thing. But please Bungie, give it a good story line and characters I actually care about!!! Oh well... Please remember that those are just my opinions and don't get all pissy. I found these online and there are articles about it everywhere like ign and machinima.

Bump. I'm a 4 in LW and my highest is an 11 in Team. I know I'm amazing. It's just that I don't play very much ranked.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Anymore?

Yeah. The grenades are definitely the coolest ones I've ever seen. I was watching the videos, then I was really surprised to see that it was lucasarts who was making it. But now I'm scared because lucasarts is making it . But I trust them.

I like your last one the most. Check out my animation. [youtube:svvuztxz]BKbgVTY1mXM[/youtube:svvuztxz]

Is anyone else excited for this game? If you don't know what it is, go to youtube or google it. Basically it's a 3rd person shooter and what's really cool about it is that you can use things called Tectonic Grenades to change the landscape around you. Pretty much you just throw them and they'll land and a giant mound will form that you can use to your advantage. There are other types of grenades that lower the ground and even ones that make a giant pillar shoot out. Just check it out!

Well I did play alot of halo 2 live at my friends' house but I never liked it so I didnt get live. But I loved halo 3 multiplayer so I did.

Halo 3 is way better than halo 2. Halo 3 is the reason I got a 360 and xbl. I had an xbox, but I got that for other games and i never got live. I really switched from a nintendo gamer to a xbox gamer pretty much only for halo 3 and a game that powerful pretty much beats all!

That guy probably just sits at home all day doing nothing. But still, that is amazing!
