Giant Bomb has a small team and as such have always set out with the intent of only showing or working on things they are truly interested in. With most games, reviews aren't entirely necessary and I absolutely love that I can get a 30-60 minute game-play video with their active thoughts about the game. To that end, Giant Bomb has a ton of PC coverage through quick looks and discussions in the podcasts over the entire run of this site, so it feels a little short-sighted calling them out like this. They have a damn PC Flight Club, right?! What else could you want? As others have said, if you want hardcore PC coverage, there are other avenue's to explore for it.
While I do love a good JRPG, I don't know if I'd just want a FF battle-system clone at this point. Oh well, he seems like a nice enough chap. $15 granted!
DLC is to me, optional. If it is not available when you initially play the game, then it shouldn't effect the overall quality of the product. I think it's only in our minds that we make some grand distinction that we are being cheated out of something that we are "entitled" to when, in reality, our expectations trump what you actually get.You could play any of the Mass Effect games without touching the DLC and get a great, engaging experience that is only made better by the DLC, however, that is because you are invested in the universe and want to learn more about it. I remember when i was growing up and I finished a game I would have loved DLC to continue the experience even further and would gladly have paid to play another chapter. It's all about what you want out of a game and if you feel the experience will be enhanced through playing more content, than get the DLC, but if not don't buy it. No-one is forcing you, stop complaining.
