GTA V: 10 Reasons Why It Might Not Be Awesome
5. DLC
Its a word that hits any gamer hard. Moral and bank balance shoot down at its mere mention. Downloadable content is now a constant presence in gaming, from paying 62p for some coins in Temple Run, to paying the amount the game cost in the first place to get extra maps in Call Of Duty. And for the most part people begrudge paying to complete an experience they've already sunk a good wallet-full of cash into.
GTA IV is one game thats employed it in a successful and actually good value way. The Lost And The Damned and The Ballad Of Gay Tony altered the tone from Niko's story and introduced game elements sadly lacking from the main game. However, it looks like this time around Rockstar have sucummed to the rest of the industry.
Pre-order the game and you get to fly a blimp, get more weapons and have more stunt plane missions. Little has been discussed beyond that and the fact the'rey planning more shows longevity of the game, but such pandering (and confirmed) additions as extra customisation is something that has been proven to irritate gamers of all descriptions.
