THQ and Volition announced the upcoming release of the first DLC for Red Faction: Guerrilla, a prequel to the game. As long as there are new buildings to destroy with the hammer, fans will be happy!

lol DLC already? Did anyone actually buy this game for $60!?!?!?!?
Whats wrong with that? The game is worth the price, and i'm pretty sure alot other people that actually bought it would agree. It may be mindless fun but its still fun. Read the reviews, its all there. The massive amounts of damage you can do is crazy.
Finding the game too generic does not make someone a troll. That is a VERY common complaint about the game and one that I agree with easily. Destroying all those buildings lost its charm in the first third of the game just b/c the buildings looked and felt like lego blocks. It didn't feel at all like you were really blowing stuff up, but rather just knocking down a stack of Lego blocks.
That said, there is nothing wrong with ppl who like this game. Some of us are just more bothered by how bland and flat so much of the world and buildings look. My biggest gripe was that the shooting itself felt like crap.
Great game, would have preferred a stronger plot, more akin to the first two Red Faction games, but the sheer magnitude of destruction helps overlook a lot of things.
Glad to see the DLC isn't just a handful of maps too...

Over time I've found that not sharing someone's euforia regarding a certain game automatically makes you a troll. That's how it works apparently...
But yeah, you said it well. The devs have been boasting and boasting about how they are breaking new ground with all this destruction, but to me it's absolutely meaningless when everything is built of Legoblocks as you call them. Let's see them pull this off in a gameworld like GTAIV's. Just not gonna happen.
They simply can't, so they made sacrifices. And the trade-offs are just that what I mentioned: Generic buildings (Legoblocks) and generic/dull environments without any proper diversity. Horrible trade-offs if you ask me. But, apparently people still seem to enjoy this game.
I'd bite if it was MP DLC, such as a mode with vehicles, but the last thing I want is more SP campaign. The game really dragged on. I'm happy to say I beat it, but that was enough.

It's how you share your opinion that makes you a troll. Lines like "Yay, more generic buildings to blow up in more generic environments!" make you sound like a dick. You could have said, "I don't understand the appeal of the game. The environments look pretty generic to me," and you wouldn't have received half the flak.
Maybe you just need to brush up on your communication skills, or maybe it's just you.

Oh please, give me a beak. You think that's trolling?
It may not receive a nobelprize for "most well contructed post of the year", but it's no trolling...not even remotely close to it. Perhaps you need to read up on some of the other posts here on this forum to put things in perspective. Also, I've contributed plenty well contructed and thoughtout posts here over the years. Not ONCE have I been banned or anything like that.
So I don't need brush up on shit (there's another sentence you can disect and lable "trolling"...have fun! ;) )
