About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7039 DaysIt'd be too bad if the choice in music genre keeps a cool gaming concept out of the hands of would-be fans though, so yeah, DLC or "expansion discs" for the DRM-cautious would be cool.
For the game itself, extra outfits are a nice way of sort of tailoring your character TO AN EXTENT to your own taste, but that can be taken much further of course. While there should always be a no frills way to just play through a track list if you want, I really would love to see some more power over where you're playing, how much money you're making, how the stage is set up, et cetera. A huge part of what makes GH so successful is how accessible it is and I wouldn't wanna lose that of course, but it would be a nice addition to the series regardless.
I think the camera angles and stuff in GH3 really add to the experience, and The Killers "When you were young" in the bit where you hold a note and he's singing and it pans over the audience really makes that song something special to play, in my opinion (helps that I really like the song too of course) and it would be awesome if you could set up the show to have lights come on at a certain point or to rig pyrotechnics for that crazy Dragonforce solo.
Unless they made it so that things like that boosted your score (like a multiplier or a link of some sort, confined to only this special "Tour Mode") it would be largely superficial, but I still reckon it would be a lot of fun to have some degree of control over these things.
Since 7001 DaysThe one downside of downloadable songs besides the price, for me, is the lack of achievement associated with them. Unless I'm playing socially or something, I'm really only driven to play to beat it. I've played maybe 3 of the bonus songs because I don't "win" anything for doing so. Even songs I actually like I wouldn't pay to download. Maybe if I were at the point where I was acing songs on Expert and had 5-starred all the songs, I'd be bored and feel inclined to try some new songs, but right now, there's absolutely no reason for me to pay for songs that I won't feel motivated to play at all.
Since 7039 DaysI mean if you get three songs then each song could sort you with at least 50ish points, but then again as I said I have no idea what the conditions are for allowing it.
Since 7001 DaysTo be fair though, maybe once i start playing the bonus songs, I'll find some fun ones that I won't mind playing over and over again. I play Cliffs of Dover and TDWDTG over and over again in between boss battle attempts simply because I find them fun. Maybe the same would be true of downloadable songs...if they were cheaper mind you :P
Since 7039 DaysHowever, it really comes down to what the songs are. DLC is an opportunity to pick what you wanna play, and that is ultimately enough for me personally. I really *wanted* to play Killer Queen because it's a great song, but it was bunched together with two songs I didn't want to play and flogged for 500 points. I can't even design a less desirable offer if I tried.
Either separate songs, put them in genre packs or packs by artists, anything but the GH2 way of doing it is vastly superior.
