DLC Quest (Video Game) | comment |
DLC Quest is a 2011 satirical Indie Game developed and published by Going Loud Studios for PC, Apple Macintosh, and Xbox Live Arcade that takes Downloadable Content to its logical extreme. In this game, everything needs to be purchased. Including things like "Pause" and "Walk left".Naturally, in keeping with the parody of shameless consumerism in modern video games, there is a Mission-Pack Sequel: Live Freemium or Die, which sends Player on an all-new quest to collect coins and spend them on even more DLC (oh, and save some villagers from a monster or something).A sequel of sorts was released in 2017 that parodies shameless consumerism even further: Loot Box Quest. | |

Memetic Mutation | |
DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_316e9da2 | comment |
Memetic Mutation: Rather viciously parodied in-universe with Lamp, the town 'comedian' in Live Freemium or Die, whose 'jokes' basically consist of witlessly regurgitating various pop culture and video game memes ("It gets a laugh, like, a third of the time."), much to Player's frustration whenever you interact with him. Once you've interacted with him enough times, you can buy DLC which results in him dying from being repeatedly shot with arrows. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: Getting the sword by actually grinding at the grindstone 1000 times manually without quitting partway without buying the DLC leaves you with some extra cash, which you can use to buy things other than the Double Jump Pack when it's needed to get enough coins to actually finish the game. Soon you will have no money to even buy the pack and be unable to access the ending. | |

Level Grinding: Parodied with literal grinding—you have to grind a sword on a grindstone 10,000 times before you can use it. But you'll probably want to buy the DLC to skip that. | |

DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Parodied. The opening cutscene shows you and a princess—helpful arrows will point out which is which—as she is kidnapped by a bad guy, also identified with a helpful arrow. Finally, the bad guy grabs the princess and runs away, and another arrow helpfully provides a label saying "Motivation". Parodied further in that while this quest does exist, in practice the game is ultimately about you collecting coins so that you can get more DLC which enables you to collect more coins so you can get more DLC... | |

Treacherous Quest Giver: The frequent quest parodies naturally means the "secretly evil quest provider" would be lampooned too, only the game goes an interesting route about it with it turning out that the true villain of both games is the DLC shopkeep himself, who is determined to keep the adventure going because it lets him make more DLC to get more money from you. | |

Exaggerated Trope: This game is all about taking DLC practices to the extreme, particularly how some games go so hard on the Microtransactions you can barely play the game without paying for at least a few extra things after already buying, which is parodied here through the fact you literally can't play much of the game without buying something right after getting into the game, specifically the ability to jump and move left. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading: Live Freemium or Die is less optimized and more prone to loading areas than the first part due to the developer not seeing it as important enough to delay for fixing. Naturally, there's a DLC for a day-one patch to fix that. | |

Rainbow Speak: Like many other aspects of RPGs and other games, Live Freemium or Die parodies the tendency of text-heavy games to highlight important words with colored text through the Incredibly Important Pack, as the Mayor is literally unable to tell you his quest until you buy the DLC to allow him to "speak" in color. | |

Shout-Out | |
DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The horse armor pack is a reference to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's infamous DLC of the same name, which cost a whopping $2.50 for a cosmetic upgrade and received a massive backlash from the fandom. In DLC Quest, the horse armor costs 250 coins and is the most expensive piece of DLC in the game. It's also necessary for the good ending. "Player." "Shepherd." The "Finish the fight" pack is a little jab to Halo 3's tagline. "We heard you like jumping, so we put a jump in your jump, so you can jump while you jump." The achievement for getting a gun is "I've Got a Ruddy Gun!" HERE LIES VILLAGER JON (???-2013) KILLED BY THE CREATURES. REAL TALK? HE WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION. Here Lies Ryan (??? - 2013) Tried to fight the creatures. Died from dumb damage. "Allan please add [name/details]" refers to an infamous Easter Egg in Hitman: Blood Money. The final boss of "Live Freemium or Die" references Bane from The Dark Knight Rises in one of his speeches. Some of the things asked for a one point may include a shrubbery, a Red Herring, and 134 Masyaf flags. Hilariously and thoughtfully, they're all in one package just above the NPC who asked for them. The PC will admit with relief that he expected a Fetch Quest, and the NPC points out that's a lot to ask of a stranger, and they barely know each other. The PC will call the NPC thoughtful before proceeding on his quest. Shepherd is shocked and finds it silly with a little thought about how plants could defeat zombies. | |

Everything's Deader with Zombies: One DLC is a zombie pack, described as "This really doesn't really fit, but our marketing department said every game needs zombies." | |

Schmuck Bait | |
DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: There's a sign in the snowy area that mentions how so many lives were lost installing spikes at the bottom of a pit, which sounds a lot like the game trying to trick you into avoiding a secret area. Turns out that no, there is indeed a spike pit at the bottom. You are given an Awardment for ignoring the warning to sate you explorer's curiosity, though, so you at least get something by falling for the bait. | |

DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Parodied. During the second game, BUY POP billboards appear everywhere (you can pay for making them go away, which just replaces them with advertising for the studio that made the game), and there is a POP ZONE - BROUGHT TO YOU BY POP area. | |

DLC Quest (Video Game) / int_f54256d4 | comment |
Microtransactions: The premise of the game is satirizing having to pay for extra things to use in a game you already bought, specifically by making it where being able to do anything requires you to buy yet another DLC pack. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: You get an awardment for killing all sheep and humans in the game, including the shopkeepersnote which you can still talk to for DLC-related business. This becomes a plot point in Live Freemium or Die. | |
