Days Gone free DLC kicks off in June; includes new bike, horde, combat challenges & 'Survival' difficulty
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
So where do you draw the line? If something has a post-release calendar of free/paid content, you don't consider it GAAS?
STOP using anti consumer if you don't know what it means plz ppl PLZ. Y'all use that phrase for every thing stop!
Sounds good to me, playing with no HUD and minimap could be cool.
It's free downloadable content but ok
Other games got downgrades but Days Gone got upgrades until the launch and looks stunning now :D
This site can't even go one fucking post without trying to shit on days gone.
And yes, this is free dlc just like any of the non big Witcher 3 dlc was (there was 16 free dlc for that and one was just a new game plus).
Never said it should have, just saying it's great marketing even if they could have included it. How hard would fast travel have been to include our you just think they thought about it 3 years into development and couldn't get it in on time but can announce it now?Plans could have changed, but at one point at least it was planned as 3 story packs. They changed the final digital deluxe to not include these packs and have not officially announced the paid DLC plans.
Why should it have been here at launch? The game that is released already takes 60+ hours to 100%
Anyways this game sure looks a lot better now and I think it will surprise those who continue to doubt it. It will easily sell 3 million in the end.
People who are "whining" for the survival mode at launch (like me) are not haters, they just want to play the game in what they believe is the best possible way.
A lot of people don't play again a 50 to 100 hours open world a second time so they want the maximum difficult level right at the start.
Just watch my post history then return here and say to me that i'm a days gone hater with a straight face, go ahead.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry, i'm just really hyped for the game and i love very hard mode in games like this.

Are people really complaining about free post launch support? Because this is gamefaqs YouTube level posting.
I mean, it is okay to wish having everything available day one, but this is not how it works. Then people go mad about crunch in game development.

They have announced this before launch, so just wait a few weeks and enjoy the game the way you want.
I will try to ignore things like survival vision or fast travel.
nah, i'm too hyped for this game to wait that amount of time.
i just hope that hard mode is hard enough.
Man I hope they add a hunger, and sleep mechanic to the survival difficulty, the game looks like it's a perfect fit for it.
They have weekly challenges and other weekly content. It is GaaS, full stop.
Edit. Arguing about semantics on this matter is stupid, it is a very broad term. People seem to get offended when a game they like is called GaaS. It's ridiculous.

Withholding implies that they are done balancing it. Do you have any evidence of that?
Watching the 60 minute intro from Game Informer last year, I always thought that it would have been a given to have a Boozer DLC. I'm still hoping though. They originally had a three DLC pack that was supposed to release. I'm hoping that they're still a go and just been delayed to later in the year.
Yeah I'm not complaining about the free content such as increased difficulty, new modes, bikes etc., game looks cool and looking like it might end up being really good, so more post release content is welcome. What was disappointing was that there's no HUD options in the base game, basic features I'd expect especially for this type of game, and this update just showed there are options/ability to disable but not in the base game and not coming until 2 months later, and might even be locked to the hardest difficulty only, a setting I rarely if ever use. That just doesn't make sense to me. I'm hoping a patch fixes that though and they add the options in like normal, hopefully before the June update.
Nope, I love Street Fighter and I'd agree completely that SFV is a GaaS title, it'd be silly to say it is not. What's wrong is people using GaaS to describe a wide variety of titles, like you are doing.
Maybe they're withholding it to flesh out their 'free dlc', maybe they don't think allowing players to play without maps, survival instincts, fast travel, etc on a first playthrough is important enough to merit including it on launch. Shitty either way.
Or maybe it's simply not ready for release. Your accusations are baseless
Getting closer to the co-op dream.
I feel the slight disappointment in Survival not being in at launch. I like to play games and sink in my 50-100 hours right then and there, I rarely go back once I'm finished with a game.
Even the great God of War I haven't relayed yet with the new game+ updates
Still some of us are evoking our entitlement card really hard right now lol
I just simply could not disagree more.
And nothing can change my opinion on this matter, so let's just agree to disagree.
