StaceyPowers Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 While reading this thread by @Jayson, I was thinking about how even though I buy most of my games used to save money, i still end up shelling out a ton of cash on DLCs. In fact, I am willing to wager 70% or more of the money I have spent on video games has been spent on DLCs. It isn’t uncommon for me to get a game for $5, and then wind up spending $40 or $50 on its DLCs and expansion packs. I try to avoid this by grabbing GOTY editions whenever possible, but obviously, this isn’t always an option (or I just miss the opportunity). I usually buy DLCs piecemeal whenever possible, i.e. one $5 DLC here and another there, and then when I’m at the grocery store, I just think, “Okay, what $5 grocery item do I not really need this week.” So, for any one game, how much money are you willing to spend on the DLCs? I seem to lose my patience after around $40 (for whatever arbitrary reason), but then, thankfully I usually have bought all the DLCs I want by that point.
killamch89 Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Sometimes I'll just wait until a Premium edition comes out with all the DLCs and then get it on sale for like $25-30 which saves me from having to spend individually on all the DLCs which could run into hundreds of dollars.
kingpotato Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 I dont buy DLC's separately, either I get the full the game with all its DLC's or I dont get them at all.
DylanC Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Depends on the game and how much I’m really into it. I tend to always wait for sales for stuff (and I also get PSN credit via cdkeys so I can effectively double up on savings), so I mostly pick up dlc in a sale. Games like Fallout, Skyrim etc usually have really vast, meaningful dlc (and I love those kinda games too). That said, I never bought The Witcher 3’s dlc because the base game was just so damn big in the first place, lol. In all, I’m usually willing to spend around £5-£10 for dlc.

The Witcher 3 DlCs are awesome - it's a shame I can't play it that much because of the lack of optimization for PC.

I feel the same regarding the Witcher's DLC, I remember when I went to purchase the game at GameStop the base game was for 14 dollars but the complete edition was 38 dlls.
Alyxx Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 It depends entirely on the game and how much I enjoy it.
