DLC for HR now available on steam
Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me.
Now you can buy the explosive mission pack, with grenade launcher, remote-detonated explosive device, and automatic unlocking device...and the rescue tracer tong mission.
I'm actually not horribly against them releasing the tong mission as DLC. I don't particularly appreciate being nickel and dimed, but it's 2,29 € - more than a fair price compared to what I paid for the game, if you consider the price-per-hour. It was also a filling and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Here's what gets my goat, there's also a tactical enhancement pack...which gives you the double barrel shotgun, the silenced sniper rifle, and 10k ingame credits.
That's right, to be able to get a silenced, scoped rifle that shoots in a straight line, you need to pay them. They're effectively selling me _weapon mods_.
This is about as ridiculous as the oblivion horse armor, except when you play obvlivion, you probably won't go "gee, I wish I had horse armor, too bad it's not in the game"...but a silenced sniper rifle is sorely missed in HR.
So yeah. Fuck that shit and such.

Get the debug mod for free and you can obtain all that stuff from it's "store" for nought. I'm not sure if the Tong rescue mission is among it's maps.

Not sure whether you mean it's more money than what would be a fair price, or if the price is more than fair.AEmer wrote:I'm actually not horribly against them releasing the tong mission as DLC.

Let's see... I paid 45€ for the game, and I spent about 40 hours on my first playthrough (second playthrough doesn't count, I may play through the DLC twice too, you never know). That's 1.125 € per hour. That means the Tracer Tong mission needs to be just over 2 hours long to be worth that price. But what about the weapons, you say? Well thanks to the debug mode modification, I can just give myself those weapons in the original game without needing the DLC, so those weapons are no added value to me (or indeed to anybody who knows where to find that mod).
Well yeah but it's reskinned and has a different description.That's right, to be able to get a silenced, scoped rifle that shoots in a straight line, you need to pay them. They're effectively selling me _weapon mods_.
...
Yeah those two packs should've been released as one DLC item in my not so humble opinion.
Well it's not really though. There's so few outdoor areas, and none of them are too big for the crossbow, especially once you put the target leading system on that bastard, it basically becomes a silenced sniper rifle. Plus, the silenced sniper rifle is not very powerful, once you come up against enemies with helmets, it stops being a one-hit-kill, even with headshotsThis is about as ridiculous as the oblivion horse armor, except when you play obvlivion, you probably won't go "gee, I wish I had horse armor, too bad it's not in the game"...but a silenced sniper rifle is sorely missed in HR.

Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
for real?
That's what I wanted it for. I couldn't take out heavies in singapore with the crossbow. Maybe I'm a terrible shot, but even with the modification, they appeared to have 2 huge arrows penetrating their skulls before they went down.
And modding the game to circumvent the need to purchase the DLC is a bug, not a feature

Crossbow bolts are a lot more rare than sniper bullets though.

Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
yeah, but aren't they reuseable if you go and pick them up again?
Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
Theoretically yes, but practically they break in >50% of cases. Out of 10 arrows I managed to retrieve 1 all others broke. Useless weapon is useless although overpowered as hell.

Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
I've read that the content is already on the disc.
Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
Surely that's just to make mass production of the disc easier so they can just bundle the disc with any version of the game?Undisputed wrote:I've read that the content is already on the disc.
Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.

Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
IMO This DLC was worth it, although it is not worth a penny more. It is a lot better than $15 for 4 call of duty maps (lolololololol I can get an entire game for that price) or for some useless "horse armor"
But yeah, im not willing ever to pay more than about $2 or $3 for an item of DLC, and thats only if it contains a reasonable amount of content.

Re: DLC for HR now available on steam
I haven't checked it out yet, becuase I haven't played a game in weeks, but word on the street is that the Tong's Rescue mission is available from the debug menu.
