Burnout Paradise is a game that prides itself on its community and online modes. As a result, DLC has become a very welcome addition to the game with the addition of new cars and game modes. The fact that Criterion releases free updates and patches, such as the Paradise Bikes update, is a good reason why people come back to play Burnout Paradise again.

When they started releasing premium DLC that you had to pay for, I thought it was okay, that's fair. The first premium DLC, the Party Pack, was released on the 5th of February of this year. Then, almost two weeks later, on the 19th, they release the Legendary Cars pack. This was the first real pack that people had been waiting for since the Party Pack seemed to be targetted on people who wanted a single-console multiplayer mode. Then, almost another 2 weeks later, on the 5th of March, they release the Toy Cars pack. And then they release Boost Specials pack on the 12th.

Criterion advertised each individual pack as its own separate thing and that they should be released at least a month apart. It just feels weird that we're being hit with all these new cars within the space of a single month. I don't know if you guys are understanding what I'm feeling or not. I just reckon it would have been a better strategy for Criterion to release these packs over a larger amount of time. What do you think?

What? You don't like additional content to keep you busy?

I think a couple things.

They can estimate how these packs will sell and can release them knowing gamers will buy them all no matter when they come out.....or they're pretty confident over time the sales will be strong for all the content, when the release date is irrelevant.

I mean, they must have a large contingent of people out there that only play this game and only download these items.

I look at it like what Harmonix has done with Rock Band songs. They're added extras that are there if you want them, but by no means are they essential to the experience.
