Can anyone tell me if these DLC’s actually slot into the game where they are supposed to be? I heard the game’s story on release was a bit fractured and these are basically scenario’s cut for time and re added as DLC, as I’ve not got AC2 yet I’d rather buy it and the DLC and play it through in order.

@1 yes. The retail game is broken up into 14 memories (chapters), but only covered 1 to 11, and then skipped straight to 14 at the end. The first DLC (Battle for Forli) added the missing 12th memory, and if this DLC is the missing 13th memory, it presumably completes the set.

Thanks, I’ll be sure to pick up the DLC once I can get the main game for sub £20.

Uh oh going up against Lost in Nightmares..
LIN looks absoultely gorgeous. They had me at original mansion..
2-3 hours play time and $5 DLC price, FINALLY Capcom is taking a step towards RE5 redemption.
I’ll come back to AC2 DLC when they package both together eventually.

To be fair, the story in the main game wasn’t negatively impacted by the absence of these pieces. They aren’t necessary to understand what happened, so it’s not as though they cut out vital chunks of the story to sell later. You could just as easily not get them.
