Dlc rip off

invisiblegnome · 01-05-2009, 09:14 PM

Anyone else feel the download content has been a bit of a rip off. I.E. the party pack and cops and robbers.

I bought the cops and robbers expansion expecting more variation but after playing it for 10 minutes you find that it always starts at the same place the gold is always in the same place and your safe houses are in the same place. after wasting my money and lets face it time as well downloading content that is locked before you purchase without the option not to, is getting to be a pain in the *** tbh Criterion. Is there a refund policy because ive had this cops and robbers expansion less than 20 minutes and ive exhausted all of it

NO ability to choose car before game starts. ( what you're driving is what you get, so if you're in a slow car then you might as well forget playing )

NO BOOST!!!! *** whoever heard of cops or robbers NOT having tuned motors!!!

NO real variation in gameplay. ( Safehouses are the same all the time. Gold is more or less in the same places too )

NEW CARS?? Same old cars with police paint job!!!!

NOT WORTH £7.99 GUYS!!

CRITERION please get a grip you delivered us a great game at the start but now you just got greedy and mean look out for my refund request

Just a quick footnote.... The free DLC that criterion issued was worthy of payment. This is most definitely is NOT!!!

the only good premium DLC they released were the legendary and toy cars and still i think they've been charging too much

seriously after 1.6 everything exept those have just been a dissapointment, i mean there isnt even any such thing as a car with top speed anymore and all the fun in the challenge is gone.

Burnout Paradise with no boost may as well be any other generic racer.
Cops n Robbers certainly has potential, but as it stands I feel cheated.

A lot of people on my friends list feel the same way and most of us have already given up on Cops n Robbers as an online game mode and gone back to Marked Man for our boost fix. (If there is a way to keep the cars but delete the game part of this dlc then I'm all ears).

Criterion dropped the ball on this one.

Fix the boost issue guys, please.

ok i have to agree with you.
Yes they should get money for the amazing expansions they have been making, but they are really overpricing it,

if you guys watching CrashTV on iTunes.... I think they 'make' the packs on London. At the end of every episode they give us the address to the criterion canter, it's in London. you know that Poundsterling are the most expensive currency in the world?? maybe for them, this price tag is like buyin' a ticket for a movie.....I don't know about you but this is my opinion. peace

I don't mind paying for an addon to be honest. Hell I even bought the Party Pack just to get the trophies LOL (might be sad, I know).

What I don't like is that the Platinum Trophy requires a camera. And yes, I did buy the Eye just to get the Platinum .... But again, I enjoy the game THAT MUCH ... not having boost just ads a bit to the variation doesn't it
