Give me everything to customize my character

This week sees DLC releases for 11 Xbox 360 retail games. Three of the games add extra achievements to their list, but we do have region exclusive DLC for three games. I apologise for what is possibly a completely mangled translation of the Japanese text for Japanese-exclusive games, but as the site doesn’t recognise Japanese characters, this is the best that I can do. Here is this week’s list:

Armored Core V (North America only)
• "Armored Core V Parts Pack 1" – 240 MSP
In a post-apocalpytic world, the ravages of war & natural disasters have depleted natural resources, leaving mankind in peril.

Wage fierce battles for control of territories using the most powerful weapons of war: Armored Core! Add upgraded parts and high-powered weapons, from this set, to your mechs and crush your enemies. Come Heavy, or not at all!• "Armored Core V Parts Pack 2" – 240 MSP

Damn, no new Racc City DLC?

There are two ways to look at it. Either it wasn't already created content and they're still making it or Capcom's holding out on us to maximize profits :(

Its very hard to maximise on profits from a game that bombed harder than the hindenburg.

In all seriousness though the game is meant to be awful review wise and community wise it has been panned to hell.

But if you enjoy it then good for you headspin

I'm amazed to see Warriors Orochi 3 DLC. Wasn't aware they were looking to do what they did with DW7 in assumably piling on the DLC. I won't touch any of it though until I've 1k'd the game. Only just beat story mode a few days ago and I've still got pleeeeeeeeenty of stuff to go there.

BiLLzThEd0n said:DLC for raccoon city came out last week brahThat was Spec Ops pack 1 containing missions 2-4 of the new campaign.

People suspected that all these missions were done and cut from the game. They support this with the fact all the stats for the characters in the records were there, the achievement lists for both mission packs were listed months before the game released and were found in a preview build, and they have fully voiced cg cutscenes in the dlc.

I have my reservations on the theory but judging from what Capcom has done in the past, I wouldn't put it past them.

Critically panned but its definitely not the blunder of the century that people make it out to be. The game sold over 500,000 copies last month and is on its way to the million mark over the next few months. Very few games do this nowadays.

Its probably one of the funnest co op games I've played in a while.

Some of the SoulCalibur outfits sound interesting enough, if I had played it a bit more I may have considered it. Like the fact the NG III DLC is free with achievements tied in, that's a nice touch.
You seem a little furious...

Better question, what's up with all the Anarchy Club songs on RBN, but Collide (from GH2) isn't there?

Now you're just taunting me, Harmonix.
