The Return to Ostagar DLC for the excellent Dragon Age: Origins is now available for Xbox Live for 400 Microsoft Points! I just downloaded the 134.11MB content and will start playing as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I have a really cool interview at noon on a product I recently wrote about, but expect a (not a) review by tomorrow at the latest.
I just played through both the Mass Effect DLCs last night for the first time. They were pretty good with one being a story driven DLC and the other being an action oriented DLC. I'm very interested in how this DLC turns out, but I'll have to wait to see.
Ironically, I just started downloading this online right before I saw this article.
@Sandrock: I was not a fan of the Pinnacle station DLC. I did not think that the balancing was very good.
@Nightshade386
It isn't balanced at all, but I enjoyed the simple objective game modes. Makes for a nice break from the rest of the game. (not that you need one, but still welcomed)
that's funny, I was wondering why my game updated this morning when i turned it on. I looked for DLC at the time but maybe it was added a little later. at any rate, I'm looking forward to it
Beat it. Took roughly an hour. I enjoyed it, but thought it would have made a nicer sidequest while playing the full game then a full DLC pack. The new special weapons and armor are mostly lesser then what someone who's already beaten the game would have. But if I were to play the full game through from start to finish again, I would probable really enjoy this quest as part of the greater package.
Really, it's kinda the same way I felt about the Bring Down the Sky DLC for Mass Effect….and I did really enjoy playing that as just part of the game much more than as a DLC pack.
You paid $5 for one hour of game? I'd have expected more than that. Just me though.
@Smartguy: I'm being somewhat forgiving because the initial game was $60 for roughly 60hrs of playtime per playthrough.
@nightshade
it's cool. I wasn't passing judgment. We are grown men and spend our money how we so choose. I just couldn't purchase a 1 hour DLC that probably could have or was in the original cut.
It's the accountant in me, I expect 4-5 hours if $60 got you 60 hours.
@Smartguy: I expect most games to give me 10-20 hours of entertainment. Considering I played Dragon Age though 4 full times at roughly 60hrs each, I feel I got my money's worth and throwing a couple of bucks away on a small DLC I'll probably play a couple more times as part of a full playthrough doesn't bother me. Compared to other DLC packs that offer a similar amount of content for twice the price (I'm looking at you, SW:TFU), I consider it a bargain.
@nightshade
under those circumstances I understand and agree to a point.
I'm pretty disappointed at Brutal Legend DLC. Loved the game but can't throw money on the DLC.
