Tuesday DLC Bonanza! AC: Brotherhood, NFS: Hot Pursuit and More

There is quite a large haul of DLC that came out today, pretty much something for everyone. Well, let's get right down to it then!

Dragon Age 2 - The Exiled Prince is now available for 560MSP. However, you may want to hold off playing it, as the achievements are still not uploaded to xbox.com, and will not unlock properly or add to your gamerscore. This isn't one of the biggest DLC annoyances we've had, as you can simply work on playing the main campaign until the issue is resolved since the game just came out today in the US. If you simply can't wait, you will need to recover your Gamertag and reunlock any of the achievements once they are posted.

"Sworn to the priesthood as a boy, the noble archer Sebastian Vael is thrust back into the viper's nest of princely politics when his family is brutally murdered, leaving him as the sole surviving heir. Adventure together through three new missions as you choose to either avenge Sebastian's murdered family and reclaim his title or direct his holy vengeance on your enemies in Kirkwall. Purchase The Exiled Prince today to employ this full Dragon Age II follower's unshakable loyalty and excellent aim."

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - The Da Vinci Disappearance is now available for 800MSP. These achievements were added last Thursday. 

"After the fall of the Borgias in Rome, Leonardo Da Vinci is kidnapped by an underground cult dedicated to transforming mankind. Ezio will embark on a relentless quest to recover stolen paintings in order to find Leo before it is too late, discovering two new locations and two new gameplay features along the way. The multiplayer addition is the biggest expansion to the award-winning multiplayer yet, including one new map, four new characters and two new game modes. The new multiplayer map, Alhambra, provides multileveled indoor and outdoor areas perfect for predators to lurk in the dense crowd for unsuspecting targets. The four new characters include the Dama Rossa, the Knight, the Marquis and the Pariah. In Escort mode, two teams of four players compete to protect their VIP target or assassinate the other team’s VIP target. In Assassinate mode six to eight players are pitted against each other deathmatch-style in one ten-minute round."

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Porsche Unleashed is now available for 560MSP. This is the last of three weekly packs, all of which had their achievements added back in February. 

"Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Porsche Unleashed Pack: The Porsche Unleashed Pack includes three very special Porsches, each one created to fulfil a very specific purpose – the power of the 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo, the speed of the 1988 Porsche 959, and the style of the 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster. It also includes ten new events to drive them in that will test your Racer and Cop abilities to the limit."

Lode Runner - Skill Expansion Pack is available now for 160MSP. The first of two content packs to cover the three achievements added a week ago, this contains only one new achievement. So far, no word on when the second pack will be released. 

"Play and post scores on 8 new Hang On levels, and solve a slew of new master puzzles! Professional Lode Runners needed!"

Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet - Doom on the Loose is available now for 400MSP. The achievements were posted last night, just in time for today's unannounced release.

"Not everyone wants to play as a Squaddie-two-shoes! Take control of Dr. Doom and his hefty minion Abomination and see their side of the story as they escape from the Helicarrier and steal the Infinity Stones from the Super Zero Squad! Featuring an all new story-driven level that reveals Dr. Doom's escape during the Helicarrier assault in the main storyline. Unlock these baddies for Freeplay and Challenge modes and earn new unlockables!"

 

Whew! What a day. Also take note of some non-achievement related stuff, like a new Mindjack map pack for 560MSP, a Modern Rock Mega Pack for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock for 1320MSP (each song is also available individually for 160MSP), as well as quite a few new scenes for YooStar 2 (single scenes at 160MSP each and a pack for 560MSP), and be warned that ilomilo's Autumn Tale will be available tomorrow for 400MSP with three new achievements of its own.

Unfortunately I already sold my copies of AC: Brotherhood and NFS. I think once all the DLC is released for AC I will buy it again to play the DLC.

I hope they add the DLC achievements for Dragon Age 2 soon, and have it not end up like last years horrible post launch patch speed.

@#6 Well yeah. The same thing happened with DA:O and a lot of the recent big budget EA games. They had Shale and something else for DA:O if you purchased new. Like VIP for Dead Space 2 or Cerberus Net for Mass Effect 2.

The problem with Exiled Prince is it gives you a new companion. That's worthless if you save it until the end of the game. :/

Fucking microsoft needs to get it together.

DAOII also has a "black pearl palace" DLC aka market-thingie for 800msp.
Looks like it's also included in every brand new game.

If there is day one DLC then it should be in the bloody game. I'm all for paying for DLC to add to the experience of a game but it is bloody annoying when developers hold back content that was likely developed at the same time as the main game.

I dunno what to do. I played DA:O and thought it was okay, but never got close to finishing and traded it in pretty quickly. I really, really liked the demo for DA2. Should I buy, should I not buy? Arggghhhh! ACB DLC for sure though.

DLC for Dragon Age already?? But it isn't even out here in the UK yet....

Downloading the AC DLC now though, looks really good from the little bits I've seen, should add to an already awesome game.

@#15 & #17 It's the same thing they have done before. The DLC will be included with new copies of the game. If you get it used, rent, or borrow it then you will have to pay if you want the DLC. 'nuff said.

Anything adding more Ezio = Win. I wouldn't want another game with him though, he's hit his pinnacle in Brotherhood but he's such an engaging character. He's suave, calculating, swift and deadly. Most of all, he's extremely humble to his cause and those around him. You never got this kind of depth with Altair and his denizens. Bartolmeo, Machiavelli, Madame Sforza and Leo all play pivotal roles and just ooze character. Cannot wait to continue the epic saga.

Er, the people all complaining about the Exiled Prince DLC do realize that it comes packaged with the Signature Edition of Dragon Age II, right? Which, by the way, I'm expecting to be delivered to my college mailroom any time now.

I find this Update issue kind of odd b/c I'm texting with someone who's playing it right now asking me if I remember seeing any firebreathers in the games.
And he just confirmed that "The SP is working fine. Cool so far"

Does the Exiled Prince (DA2) DLC even HAVE achievements? I've never seen a game release with 1250... but maybe since this is DLC. But still, I haven't seen anything about it so, are you sure?

Anyone having problems with the ACB saying it needs a title update, go to your system settings, memory, games, then delete the file called title update 05. then start the game, this will force the title update and the game will work fine.

@34 - Rock Band 3 released with 1250 gamerscore available on the disc. I believe that is the only game to do so.

Try clearing your system cache. It will delete all of the updates and you should get the latest update when you boot the game. (go to the memory screen, highlight the hard drive and look at the bottom for device options then clear cache.)

Love it. Bit shorter than I expected but it adds more to the MP. I LOVE Assassinate FFA Mode and some of the new characters are cool. Escort is new-ish and sort of blends Alliance and Chest Hunt(?) except the chests are moving.
The SP is actually a lot more mysterious due to the events it's "picking up" from.

the achievements foe dlc for DA2 are still not fixed, they say they are aware of the problem and are working to correct it........... of course this could have been avoided with a little game testing before launch!
