Seems to me like games are now being forcefully cut short to push DLC content, pretty much every game that has come out lately someone has complained that its too short or they've completed it in a day.

I'm getting a bit sick and tired of DLC being released for everything now, especially when it's not just fluff and is actually extra content. I tend to make it a rule to not bother picking up games until they've been out for twelve months and they have released a gold/platinum/game of the year/collectors type edition that has all of the DLC already on the disk. I abhor paying extra for it, and also have little faith in keeping anything on the PSN these days after it went down for so long.

Unfortunately DLC or not I think once you're done with LA Noire, you're done. It's going to have to take some pretty special DLC to get at least me interested.

Well the way it used to work is via expansion packs, which I still think are a much better idea even if it means you have a six month wait. There are some games like Diablo 2 that are so big that I didn't need to get the expansion pack for ages, but it offered a lot of extras beyond just a smattering of new content/levels as most DLC seems to be now. The whole concept of DLC is a money making scheme as far as I can see and a way to short change gamers.

I bought it, I was disappointed with the lack of other things to do. I mean you can only catch the crims, or shoot the crims. I thought there would be some home life or something like that. Also, for a Rockstar game, the driving part of it just doesn't feel connected, feels really arcadey, nothing like GTA4. I was also disappointed by the lack of playing time. I musta played about 8 hours I think, and I'm on disc 3. I got to the Vice desk and just lost motivation to play it, it's very repetitive.

FYI I've got the 360 version. Think I might trade it in.
