Glassed Silver Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hello guys! I heard you cannot install game extentions (DLCs) without having played the game and having a game save. My question is, is downloading the same as install? I mean, can I download the DLC and install it later on when having played the game and therefore having the save? Thing is, I will be without Internet access some days, in those days I'll get a game and darn, I want the extension to be there from day 0. xD Thanks a lot in advance and Merry Christmas!

Smashing Pumpkin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Interesting question, I would have though that you're able to download it now and then use it whenever you want yeah, should be fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The only issue will be if the title requires an update before you can use the DLC pack, which is quite often the case. No internet, no update, no DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 you mean dashboard update? I got the latest and greatest ;) Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the latest and greatest ;)Glassed Silver:mac if the title requires an update Title updates, as in the updates for games that you get prompted to download when you load it up while connected to the internet. If you aren't online, you can't get the update, and you might not be able to use the DLC pack. GTA IV without any title updates applied won't let you play Lost and Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah shoot, darn it... I miss the old days of console games being without updates and actually I never needed them for stability. Good old times...

Smashing Pumpkin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The title updates fix bugs, add new features, stop cheaters etc. They're a good thing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 I know what they do, still miss the old days when they were simply not needed for bug fixes(at least for the games I had on PS1 and the N64 at my friend's place) Oh well...

what Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Games were a lot more basic back then and fit on a CD rather than a dual-layer DVD :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 No you just couldn't fix the bugs, unless you rereleased the game, not that they weren't needed. There were plenty of buggy N64 PS1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of buggy N64 PS1 games. I know, but I always have been able to finish my games and without frustration. And I was a quick adopter of quite some games. I am not saying that all games were good to go, but what I AM saying is, MY games were okay. Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
