| I hate to beat a dead horse, but these planned DLC packs (and DLC in general) are really irritating. If all this shit is complete or nearly complete, put it on the damn disc and give us a full game. I liked the idea of continued support via DLC when it first started coming out because it added a little extra for a completed game. I envisioned 1 or 2 DLC packs just as a farewell love letter to the fans for games they loved making and we loved playing. Now though, it seems like things are intentionally held back just to sell later. I mean back in the day, you played a game to get unlocks; now you have to pay (ok, yes you don't HAVE to pay, but you don't want to miss out on some of these characters). It's infuriating. I tried to hold off on DLC for awhile as protest, but I've caved recently as I feel I've been missing out (both for completion sake and fun). I get it that THQ and other developers want to make money but does it really have to be made by taking advantage of us consumers? |

| Ha, I would've considered picking up the Fan Axxess Pack but not for 1600MSP. They can dream on! |

It's not about the games at all, it's all about DLC, DLC, DLC (even going as far as to announce DLC before the actual game releases). They should lower the damn prices in full retail games if they're going to do this - one of the reasons why I buy used these days, because I don't fancy the idea of paying £40 for half the game I would've got 10 years ago for £30. |

To be fair people like Sandow etc have only just come into mainstream WWE programming so they may of had to do this as the game was being made and too late to put it in, however the 'Attitude' stuff could of been on the disc since day 1. In fact it probably is on the disc, you pay to unlock it.
If the games cost like £20 then I wouldn't be as pissed off with the constant stream of DLC packs that cost £10-20 + as then you'd be paying the same as a 'full' game of £40-ish. On top of that these season passes end up on discount like gears of war 3 which is a slap in the face to those who paid for it full price. |

| Still on edge about getting the fan axxess. As much as I want it I know that as soon as content pack 2 is out, me and the missus will just be doing mixed tag matches as Ryback and AJ Lee and I probably won't be using anyone else then. Still got a while to consider it though |

Goldust wasn't going to be in buy alot fans ask for him so they made it so he comes freew if you buy fan axxess
Im more than happy with the DLC plans it is infact the first time they have done such large DLC plans |

That's the main thing that annoys me with this DLC, is that some of them clearly should be on the disc, no excuses.
That said, I'm still going to give in and buy the Fan Axxes pack the day I get the game. Come on, DDP! |

| AJ Lee is the freakin' GM, and has been the primary Diva for storytelling purposes pretty much all year... so she's DLC, not on the main roster? Makes no sense. |

Okay, I normally shut my mouth on this topic, but some of you IDIOTS are really starting to piss me off by burying so much ignorance under your anger that the casual fans might actually think you know something.
This game was finalized and ready to ship MOOOONTHS ago. That how the development on these works. Hell, guys like Antonio Cesaro were probably just debuting as it was sent off for duplication. So, we have two options... they KEEP developing, put out some DLC, and have a more current game, or they release a game that's already out of date by the time it comes out. So, they want to give you the most current content and that's "ripping people off"? Fuck you. Or what, did you expect them to add in another couple months of work for FREE? No, people still need to be paid. Just because you're not smart enough to understand the process of game production doesn't give you the right to make over-inflated claims that come from a place of ignorance.
This is ESPECIALLY the case in WWE games, because they're CONSTANTLY changing things (attires, entrance themes, hiring and firing people) and they're given a VERY strict yearly schedule. It's not like they could go "Oh hey, a few new guys debuted, lets push it back by a couple months and get them in the game". They don't have that liberty, and even if they DID, in a couple months there'd be a whole bunch MORE brand new stuff to push it back AGAIN. DLC is really the only way to keep these games remotely current.
For the love of god, we get it. You don't like DLC.... maybe get a new topic to talk about eventually? |

| Claiming that people are ignorant while saying that a game was finished months ago but pre-release is announcing dlc from an era a decade old is as funny as how personally you seem to take it. |

I personally think that THQ's DLC model is one of the better ones out there.
The majority of wrestlers/features come priced individually, if there is literally only a couple you want you can.
I'm sick and tired of reading for the last couple of years about "unfinished" games on almost every website. I've played a multitude of games and not bought the DLC and the one's I really enjoyed or loved I got the DLC.
If you are a completionist then you must understand that people like yourself are factored into the concept of DLC, with company's knowing that some people will "have" to get it just to have 100%.
Just like any obsessive compulsion - this is probably going to cost you more time and money than everyone else.
(Trust me I also used to be a completionist and have spent probably £100's on DLC.)
DLC is a model that will continue and only get much worse I'd imagine, because there are plenty of people (like myself.) who really don't see paying an extra £10-20 for some DLC a problem -
if the game merits it.
It's been said many times, but to be first in line you have to pay more.
360 on launch? Anyone?
Wait a year and WWE 13 will be probably less than £20 and the DLC a fraction more on offer.
BUT you want it straight away, then quit your fucking moaning and act like the consumer you were born to be.
...Give them your money... lol
