Another day, another discussion about some game getting post-launch content. This time, it's Just Cause 2, the lovable open-world game about free falling and grappling hooks from Avalanche Studios. Talking to lead designer Peter Johansson, Eurogamer got a tease of what's to come.
"We're going to have a lot of DLC," says Johansson. "We'll see what happens. DLC is important, but a game like Just Cause 2 can live pretty long because it's not just playing through the story and being done with it -- there's the completion rating and playing with friends."
Based on what I've played of the game, I'm struggling to come up with interesting things that could be added by way of add-ons. There's so much stuff crammed in already, I don't exactly know where the team could go from here. They'll think of something creative, surely. I hope.
Just Cause 2 to get "a lot" of DLC [Eurogamer]

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
maybe a destruction mode, controller swap style. like red faction:G.
also online co-op is a must. but split screen would be nice.
cant think of much else. besides vehicles. maybe weapons.
They really listened to feedback and fixed the broken elements of the original such as terrible lock-on shooting and janky vehicle controls and wonky car physics.
Plus the hook has more uses this time around. I wonder if it's going to make lost Planets grappling hook seem quaint.
I would pay $10 for said DLC.
Uhh... Maybe it's just you. Dying in the demo is a difficult task unless you stop moving. The funny part in where it's like a reverse Spiderman of sorts. Fire the grappling hook at something and when you get dragged, you immediately deploy the parachute. When in midair, just fire the grappling hook at the ground and when you're being reeled in, hold down on the Y-axis. Really, really weird. It's like Spiderman without buildings.
The only part where I almost died was when I got that helicopter gunship from one of the bases and suddenly missiles were being fired at me. The bastards.
Playing with friends...the game has no multiplayer as of now. I'd say that makes co-op all but confirmed as one piece of DLC.
But given that just about everyone looking forward to this game is asking for it, they'd be stupid not to put it in. And it never seemed to be something they were against so much as they weren't sure if they had the time.
Its things like this that make DLC awesome rather than stupid. Too bad its not the norm this gen.
Anyway, let's hope for up to 4 players! Alright, fine, I'll settle for two but four would be absolutely awesome to the infinity!
Also, DLC is pure greed... in Just Cause 2, why the fuck is there even talk of DLC before the game is released????? Why not instead get the game out, with all of the functionality already included in the game. I personally think that at $100 (Australian) is an extraordinary amount of money to pay for a game and then I am expected (apparently) with so many new releases that if I want to finish the game, then I will have to pay some more to do so...
Am I the only one who thinks this stinks?
