Weekend Confirmed 79 - Deus Ex DLC, Kirby Mass Attack
by Xav de Matos, Sep 23, 2011 11:00am PDTWith Garnett Lee on vacation in Tokyo, it's up to Jeff Cannata and Xav de Matos to run the big show. Thankfully, comedian Christian Spicer and Machinima.com editorial manager Billy Shibley are on hand to discuss everything from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution 'The Missing Link' DLC, Kirby Mass Attack, additional thoughts on Resistance 3 and Gears of War 3, and more. We also take nearly two segments worth of questions from the Shacknews community and Twitter. In the end, we wrap it up with a short news segment and the return of Finishing Moves.

1) Xav did a really great job as host. If Garnett ever leaves, for whatever reason, I think Xav should take over.
2) Games will always be ridiculed, whatever they are called - simply because people will look at a trailer or thirty seconds of a game and dismiss it without ever bothering to find out what the game is about.
3) In regards to Bill's point about "post release support" for games, here's my philosophy.
I actually wait and see now as to what kind of content, if any, is released for games. Then I wait and buy the complete/GOTY/Greatest Hits/whatever they are called versions with all the content on the disc, because *those* are the actual finished versions of whatever game it is.
DLC is a scam and I do not support it in any way, shape or form.
Bill's idea that Heavy Rain wasn't worth keeping around because of little or no post-release content is ridiculous. I'd like to know whether Bill sells movies or books right after he finishes them, because there's no "post release" content for those either.

As an older gamer I recalled loving the "expansion pack" of 90's PC gaming. Elements that extended the game or gave it a new chapter. So for a game I love, I am happy to put down more $$ for the expansion pack variety of DLC.
But costumes, maps, characters. I'm not really interested
