Sims 4 Getting expensive with DLC’s

Maybe its just me and maybe this has been happening for years in games but I am starting to think that DLC’s are becoming expensive.
If you follow the channel you will know that I been a huge fan of sims 4 coming to console and whilst I am enjoying the game I have seen the latest game pack surfaced and this has got me thinking that the overall game is starting to get a little expensive to keep up with all the expansion packs. Maybe I have been living under a rock and not paying too much attention but I am literally blown away by how much I may end up possibly paying to have the full experience of Sims 4 after all the DLC has been released.

The latest game pack Dine out surfaced on the 9th of January and is available for 17.99 or 16.99 if you have EA access and whilst that might not be breaking the bank for some when you consider that the first DLC bundle which consists of City Living, Vintage Glamour Stuff and Vampires cost £45 or £40 with EA Access that is close to £60 and then when you add the base game then you looking at £100 so far for the full experience of the sims.

Now I know what some hardcore fans will say that this has always been the case with PC version and some will say that this is what you should expect from a EA game but I am not gonna lie it has taken me by surprise that I have nearly spent over £100 on Sims 4 especially considering that I got the deluxe version on launch. Obviously I didn’t expect the DLC’s to be free but I thought that we may get a season pass or something for maybe £45 with all DLC and in my eyes £90 for the overall experience could be easily justifiable maybe thats me asking to much and being greedy but I feel by releasing the packs in drips and you keep buying I think it will hurt if EA brings out a complete version of Sims 4 for £45 with all DLC included. Whilst I am not completely sure what expansions will be 100% coming to consoles There is still Get to Work, Get Together and Cats and Dogs all possible to move to console plus not to mention the garage of Stuff packs and game packs which are currently available on the PC version so after every DLC and even the game packs and stuff packs are released god knows how much it will all rack up to.

As I am a fan of the Sims 4 n console and currently enjoying my experience this will have to be a expense that I will have to take on the chin even though it is leaving a bitter taste.

Anyway peeps what do you make of the price for the DLC’s for Sims 4 console version do you think its worth it that you might have to spend close to £100 at this present moment to experience the DLC’s that are currently available. As I said I know that this is the case for PC version and I know that all games nowadays come with DLC’s that will rack up the price for the full experience but I rarely but DLC for game and usually if I do it will have a season pass that will be around £35 so most games that I tend to play or get DLC for will rarely exceed £100 but hey maybe I need to invest more into my games additional content.

Yakuza Kiwami 2’s Brand New Trailer Dives Into A ‘Forbidden Romance’

The release of Yakuza Kiwami 2 is sneaking up on us and SEGA has recently released a brand new trailer giving us a closer look at the relationship between Kazuma Kiryu and Detective Kaoru Sayama.

For those who look at Kiryu as the hard guy that we have come to know will get to see the more softer side of him, whilst he takes Kaoru on little dates around the city.

I have always said that the Yakuza series has such a great deep story embedded within it and just with this love story alone shows the depth of how far the games story goes and I personally can’t wait to experience it.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a full remake of Yakuza 2, originally released in 2006 in Japan and 2008 in America on the PlayStation 2. The game is completely remade in Yakuza 6’s Dragon engine and has extra Majima content not present in the original release.

You can pick up Kiwami 2 on August 28 on the PlayStation 4 and you can even test out the demo now on PSN.

All in all I always happy to see these trailers for Yakuza Kiwami 2 as its one of the games that I am personally looking forward to grabbing in August. The trailer is really cool and shows both sides of Kiryu

Dragon Ball Xenoverse series Shipments and Digital Sales Reach 10 Million

Bandai Namco have recently announced that the Dragon Ball Xeneoverse series total worldwide shipments and digital sales have exceeded 10 million units.

The first in the series, Dragon Ball Xenoverse launched for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC back in February 2015. The sequel Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launched for PS4, Xbox One and PC back in November 2016. Nintendo Switch owners received Xenoverse 2 in September 2017.

Bandai Namco have also confirmed that the third DLC pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which includes both Kefla and Super Baby 2, is due this summer. There will also be a free update which includes improvements to the game as well as costumes and accessories, and improved online play. Last and not least there will also be a fourth DLC pack for Xenoverse 2 which is due to arrive this winter.

I personally haven’t really played much of the Xenoverse series but its impressive to see that the series has sold pretty decently and that the company is still releasing content and also free updates. I doubt I will jump on the wave and grab Xenoverse 2 anytime soon even though many have told me its a great game as I am still pretty much rinsing the likes of Dragon Ball FighterZ

Monster Hunter: World shipments and digital sales Announced

Capcom have announced the total worldwide shipments and digital download sales for Monster Hunter: World and have confirmed the game sales have exceeded 8.3 million.

Back in may there was reports that the game sold around 7.9 units so shooting around another 4 million in a couple of months is a pretty good feat.

Monster Hunter: World was released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 worldwide on January 26. A PC version will be released on August 9.

Ill be honest this is a game thats been on my radar but still haven’t got around picking it up. I love the concept and just how versatile the game concept is. I was considering grabbing Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch in August to ease me into the series, but yet again I got a sneaky feeling that it might be another game that is on the radar but I fail to pick up.

Let me know in the comments if you own Monster Hunter World and have been enjoying the game. Should I bite the bullet and buy the game finally or do you think the game is just over hyped?
