HijacK: I'm sorry, but what? Are you even remotely intelligent? Are you actually arguing Borderlands's disc add-ons are DLC and that downloadable expansion packs are not downloadable CONTENT? Holy shit! I think we just reached a new record of nonsense on GOG!
And how about you bring me some facts as to how a downloadable expansion is not DLC? I brought you the meaning of the words in their pure form. What do you have besides a fanatically incorrect opinion?

Johnathanamz: They are DownLoadable Content but because you download them from the internet. But they are expansion packs. They expand the main video game itself.

Add-on or DLC that ad 1 new gun skin, 10 new quests or 10 new vehicles don't expand the main video game itself like the expansion pack does. Do you know the difference between expansion and just adding small content to the main video game itself?

Borderlands disc add-ons are DLC's. Not expansion packs. They don't expand the main video game itself in a huge way like expansion packs do.
Are you &%^$$? Seriously speaking. I think I've argued in over 6 posts that expansion packs are INDEED expansion packs. However, if you fucking download them, they are ALSO labeled as DLC. Why? BECAUSE YOU DOWNLOAD THEM! And no, I never said Borderlands' add-ons are expansion packs. I clearly said they are add-ons. Do you comprehend English now? Something that is smaller than an expansion pack is an add-on. If you also download it it is DLC. If you don't download it, like in the case of Halo map packs, Borderlands' mission, then it's not DLC, it's extra content. Period!

JMich: The were free. Back in 1999-2000. Weighing about 50MBs, in a time with little broadband access, and no way of paying online. Or you could buy the GoTY version of the game, which included them.
Remember the good ole Battle Chests too? Those were the days... ;)

DUDE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID. I UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.

I said I don't give a damn if you download expansion packs from the internet from web sites when you purchase the expansion pack. I said I will never label it as DLC(s). I will call expansion packs expansion packs and DLC's DLC's depending on the size of the content.

Do you understand now what I am saying?

Johnathanamz: Do you understand now what I am saying?
That anything that adds 5 maps, or 5 vehicles is DLC. Like Test Drive 2's addons.

Frankly, I don't want to understand what you're saying. And to make myself clear, don't puke crap like this, and I quote, "You keep saying it is called a DownLoadable Content (DLC) but it's not. " like it's some kind of proven fact, and then tell me that it's actually you who doesn't care and lives in a world where 2+2=Abraham Lincoln in an Algebraic system.

Now I understand. So a compilation of the series. I was thinking like some MP think ME3 is doing with loot.

Dude do you have a problem with the way I label what a expansion pack or DLC is? Even though I said it a couple of times that the way I label them it's easier for me to distinguish between them for how big the size of the content is?

It seems like you don't understand.

And I will say for the final time. Don't state something as a fact, if it's just you who doesn't care. Personally, I don't give a crap what you call them, but don't state that as a fact.

And no, this is an all-English forum. If everyone spoke in their native language whenever they felt like it, this would turn into some kind of Steam or Desura trollfest.

I never stated it as a fact.

Also I spoke at the last part of that comment in Romanian to see if it would be better to make you understand. Because you are from Romania and no Romanian is not my native language I learned English first since I was born in the USA it's my parents native language though. The Romanian speaking part was sarcasm if you didn't get it.

Johnathanamz: I have been explaining this for a long time but it seems some people don't understand what I was explaining.
Oh I do understand what you're getting at, I'm not that stupid, don't worry.

Johnathanamz: But I will never call expansion packs DLC's. Deal with it.
It's not even this I have an issue with, even tho it's weird that you'd refuse to call content that you download downloadable content, but - you know, your problem. What I'm constantly irked with is when the word DLC is used with a negative connotation, whereas an expansion pack is automatically a good thing. Vast majority of both DLC and expansions are shit. There's more shitty DLC than shitty expansions, yes - but that's because there's more DLC than expansions in general. And some of the best bits of content I have played in recent years, like the Knife of Dunwall + Brigmore Witches or Burial at Sea episodes 1 + 2, are pure DLC and are not distributed in any other way.

So yeah, what I'm arguing is not necessarily what is DLC and what is an expansion, what I'm arguing is that the difference between DLC and expansion is so small and artificial that both can deliver the same kind of content - DLC just tends to deliver less and for signifantly lower price point.

Do I really have to quote this again? "You keep saying it is called a DownLoadable Content (DLC) but it's not. "
See that "...but it's not"? That's stating it as a fact.

And for the record, that was weak sarcasm, though I'll give you props for getting the grammar right since it wasn't your first language. As for living in USA, I live here too, and I have to say it's fucking annoying when 90% of the people confuse me for a Russian.

Yeah, some of them were series compilations, often with bonus features, while others might be just a bundle of separate games more like what we'd actually call a bundle now or a publisher/developer bundle.

Oh hell yeah! Those were amazing add-ons, though I'd argue combined they could be considered and expansion pack because of their amazing length.

As for distribution, they are distributed on disc too. But only on the Game of the Year Edition. I'm fairly certain that is the case for the PC version too, but I'm not sure since I got the game on PS3.
