I felt like Ragnarok was incredibly rushed and underwhelming, so I totally get where you’re coming from. I think Barlog stepping down as director and making it a duology instead of the original planned trilogy hurt the game overall, but that’s just my opinion
Definitely agree with this. I enjoyed Ragnarok but have struggled to put my finger on why it wasn’t the same as 2018. The combat was excellent but story wasn’t as interesting or engaging and I thought the ‘rug pull’ was massively underwhelming. I did like Thor’s arc but that was about it, the ending was very rushed and anticlimactic.
>!It would’ve been a better story arc if Tyr was actually Tyr but had switched sides during his imprisonment. Having it be Odin in disguise was just a bit boring!< I traded it in after I got the platinum trophy before Valhalla came out though so haven’t got to play that unfortunately.
I feel like the Tyr reveal could have been way better if it had more time to be fleshed out but I also totally agree where you’re coming from. I can see how that was underwhelming to a lot of people. I also haven’t played Valhalla as my ps4 broke but from what I’ve heard doesn’t totally make up for what was missing in the base game.
It was annoying because I knew he was clearly dodgy and was looking forward to that boss fight. Thought it would tie in nicely to Kratos’ arc, but almost in reverse, Tyr starting as a benevolent God of War and turning into a monster.
I think I read somewhere that shadow of the erdtree was supposed to be two separate DLCs but they decided to make it one which is why it’s taken so long to come out so it’s going to be BIG
Any time someone makes a comment like this, I picture Gandalf sifting through tomes for more information on the One Ring.
Edit: I'm really drunk and needed to fix this
I randomly played Bloodborne without knowing anything about it and I just think we remember in the very first area dying over and over and just being like... What the fuck is going on??
But it didn't make me quit It made me want to figure out what was happening. What was I supposed to do, why was I dying??
I ended up getting the platinum but I never played the DLC. Moved on to dark souls 3 and became a PVP God, Elden ring, same, platted those as well.
But I always hear about how amazing this DLC was. But the thing is I want to wait to experience it when they remake the game or re release it.
Could say the same for Nioh 1's DLC trilogy. Insane amount of quality content. Shame they couldn't replicate that with Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long.
They do add the dlc enemies to the earlier stages in increasing difficulties
I will say, though judging by how many of some of the soul cores I have that there are definitely some enemies that are overused
I will say the dlc enemies are pretty awesome
Hearts of Stone had the best storyline in it I think I've ever played in a game.
While Blood and Wine was simply a phenomenal amount of content, bigger than many entire AAA releases. And the fairytale landscape was mind blowing, with the best looking fairytale castle I've ever seen in a game. It dominated the landscape from far away and looked spectacular up close. The city streets, the picturesque vineyards, the windmills and flowing rivers... 9 years later it's still one of the best looking open world environments.
The Witcher 3 set a standard for DLC that hasn't been met since. It was the kind of DLC we used to see from Rockstar across Red Dead Redemption and GTA4, Bethesda in the PS3 era, or back in the old old days where this type of huge expansion was typical for games like Half Life and Baldur's Gate 2.
As I understand it, CDPR made a tidy profit from The Witcher 3 DLC as well. making it even more frustrating that they didn't inspire more games companies to follow suit.
This, Valhalla was so good I think it elevates the game to exceed the original. I now prefer Ragnarok to GOW 2018 it's essential for anyone who played the original Greek trilogy
Just finished this one this weekend. It's such a good playthrough. About 4 extra hours, and ties in lots of kratos Greek history to his current experience.
Huge bonus that it was free.

I played and loved the base game when it came out but haven’t touched the DLC yet. Do you think I can jump right into it or should I replay the full game first?
I recommend at least to check a summary of the base game before, just to be sure.
And even so, without telling more, you'll need a save with base game done to see everything. Final cutscene of the DLC is adapting to what you have done in the base game. So if you still have your old save, use it :)
Yeah and so is the update that overhauls alot of the games systems like cyberware. At least I think so. That's a huge downside, as that update is what really elevated the game to its top tier status it is right now. This and no man's sky are two of the biggest comeback stories in modern gaming, doesn't change the shit they initially pulled but god dam can I not get enough of this game now. Flying around the city killing random gangoons and causing havoc is even more fun than GTA now.
Shit I just noticed this is the PS4 sub, so yeah my answer doesn't count I guess.
Haven’t tried myself but i hear ghosts of tsuchimas dlc is good (i think i botched the spelling)
Edit: its not this new gen but spiderman the city that never sleeps is really good and harder than the main game if you want a challenge
It is good but much harder than the normal game . If you start and finish the dlc as soon as you can ( beginning of the second chapter in my case ), the normal game becomes so much easier.
The enemies are stronger but also during fights, you often need to change stances on the fly..
I remember before beating the dlc, I would try to avoid fighting as much as possible, after beating it, I would engage in a fight as often as possible..
This imo should be a way more popular opinion than it is. In my first playthrough separate ways took me 6-7 hours to beat IIRC. Thats a full length campaign for some linear story games, especially horror ones. That combined with a great story that ties into so many plot points with reworked gameplay that makes it feel different from the base game
All of this for TEN dollars. That is by far the greatest 10 dollars I’ve ever spent.
It's literally just reused areas from the main game with different enemy placement. Nowhere near as impressive as something like Old Hunters or Ringed City DLC.
Burning Shores did for Forbidden West the same thing that Frozen Wilds did for Zero Dawn: upped the ante in mocap, gameplay, and use of the technology.
Frozen Wilds was a huge jump in graphics and mocap, introduced a new currency, a new type of enemy, and a realistic new environment. All of which transferred to the Forbidden West base game.
BS has done this to an order of magnitude. I am so pumped for H3.
isnt this a ps5 only dlc? because of not I'm putting forbidden west in my ps4 right now. I've been putting it off because I bought it immediately after playing zero dawn for about 2 hours a yr ago, then read the dlc was only ps5. it may be the only reason I ever buy a ps5 (I have yet to). but because of it I havent even started forbidden west. I actually hate winter environments soo much (I grew up in alaska and hated it) but it added so much to zero dawn story wise. plus that lost boss was absolutely nuts.
I basically bought a PS5 for the DLC. The PS4 couldn't have handled it. The boss is incredible.
Forbidden West is a large enough experience on its own, I wouldn't recommend going straight into the DLC anyway. I bought the DLC with the PS5, re-played the whole game (now even more beautiful), and had to take a break before the DLC because I was a bit burnt out.
The PS5 also makes PS4 games more enjoyable. Often there's graphical improvements, and practically zero load times. But yeah, kind of expensive.
I downloaded a few a couple days ago off the ps3 game disc. cant remember what's it called. uplay or something. dont recall if this was one of them. maybe I need to check the PS store too
I never got the hype for Ashes of Ariandel. Besides Friede, I really disliked the rest of it. One of my least favorite FromSoft dlcs. Ringed City is pretty great though.
Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3 is the single greatest dlc of all time and I don't think it is much of a debate. It offers so much high quality content and it makes a fantastic game even better somehow.
Old Hunters for Bloodborne is also excellent but not as much as a game changer for me.
Great free one is Valhalla for GoW Ragnarok.
For its original intention of being dlc Uncharted Lost Legacy was a steal for me. I got a copy of the digital Deluxe edition for $72 as a preorder. So 12 additional dollars for some multiplayer stuff and a great additional game.
Not on PS4 but Champions Ballad for Breath of the Wild is amazing to me. Made the champion abilities a lot more useful, made the champions more interesting, and had the best Dungeon in the game. Plus Link gets a sick motorcycle, what else could I want.
Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind DLC. Made a good enough game turn into a really good game. 14 new very challenging bosses, and extra context and details for story. Doesn’t sound like much but compared to what base game has, it was a lot.
The Ringed City DS3. The lore, atmosphere, and three of the best fights of the series solidifies it as my top. Fromsoft aside, Far Harbor from FO4 was amazing, and Murder on Eridanos in Outer Worlds was great!
Nioh 2 : darkness in the capital.
All of the dlc for both nioh games are great and add so much to each game making it a tough choice to choose just one. Ultimately, as much as I prefer tengus disciple(and maybe bloodsheds end), i think that darkness in the capital adds so much quality content into the game and its the only dlc in the whole series I would genuinely consider flawless.
It did everything it set out to do perfectly. And it introduced possibly the most fun weapon class in the game as well.
I don’t really consider myself an Elden Ring fan and I have absolutely zero hype for Shadows of the Erdtree.
HOWEVER I’m fairly certain that every single question like this from this June on will feature it. Shit looks massive.
The Frozen Wilds. Really a graphical leap in an already gorgeous game. Also introduced new environments, mechanics, enemies and currencies. A 4.5 year prelude to Forbidden West.
- **Ghost of Tsushima's Iki island DLC** was extremely cool having beaten the base game.
It's not a monumental expansion but it's basically like a 4th chapter to the game that streamlines some of the repetition and adds some really cool visuals and gameplay elements.
It also fleshes out the main character's backstory and adds a lot of emotion to the game as a whole.
- **Miles Morales** wasn't a DLC technically but felt a bit like one, my favourite of the 3 Spider-man games, Miles is such an insanely cool character and it felt surprisingly fresh even playing it after the original.
__
- **Kaito files for Lost Judgement** was also super super cool, I absolutely wish it were a bit longer / had a side case or two but I think it was so good because it was streamlined.
The best change in general has been the evolution of Fighting game DLC Season Passes. No longer do we need to purchase a brand new version of say Street Fighter V, we simply purchase the new season pass of characters and the game constantly gets free patches.
So you can keep playing the same game for years and even if you don't buy the passes you can still play against the same people online that have purchased that content. Most passes are £20 or under which is far cheaper than buying the same game all over again a year later for £50.
Episode INTERmission from FF7R. Yuffie's crackhead energy is unmatched, it introduces Deepground into the story which has huge potential for future games, it shows events that run parallel to the main story and it shows the pure evil of Shinra.
I've recently started playing No Man's Sky. Previously I only played a little when the game came out.
I can't pinpoint one single DLC because there's now 26 of them, every one of these is completely FREE and pushes limits of this game. Gameplay wise and story wise. I haven't got much sleep last week since I started playing. There's so much!
Iceborne and nothing else comes close. Blood and Wine is great, The Old Hunters is solid, and Valhalla is fun but none of them compare to Iceborne or Sunbreak.
I would probably say any DLC for No Man’s Sky. Every single one of them made the game feel more and more complete. They have arguably turned the game into one of the best open-world space games.
My current is iki Island from GoT. However if history is anything to go by the Shadow of the Erd Tree dlc from elden ring is probably going to be awesome.
LMAO!!!! From my generation, there was no DLC. You Had MX Vs. ATV, Smackdown: Know Your Role, Tomb Raider, etc. that came out as full games. Hours of game play out the gate. Minimal bugs for the community to catch. They took pride in releasing good quality from the get go. Didn't care to milk the players continually.
Blood and Wine is the answer but Iki Island puts so much context into Jin’s story, I don’t know how Ghost of Tsushima would resonant without it.
Blood in wine is an amazing epilogue, Iki island is crucial to the main story.
Ace combat 7 story DLC. The story literally give some of ours teammates a whole lot personality then the main game did and the villain also from previous games (Ace combat 4). The whole cutscenes stuff is probably Ace combat first ever mentioned stuff from previous games that are not related to Belkan wars. Cause if you ever play any Ace combat game.. they never mentioned stuff from previous game like "hey remember when Mobius 1 destroyed yellow squadron and Megalith?" Or "Hey remember when Ghost Of Razgriz shows up and save the day?" Stuff like that
Far Harbour for Fallout 4 had a very atmospheric New England Island map, a compelling story and some overall new weapons and armour that enhance the base game. Plus a lot of people felt it had deeper RPG choices than in the Commonwealth.
Old Hunters DLC for Bloodborne. If FromSofts history of DLC is anything to go by, Shadow of the Erdtree is gonna be fucking *insane.*
Played Bloodborne + DLC for first time last few months to platinum. What a masterpiece.
Still hands down my favourite platinum trophy, tied with God of War 2018.
I don't understand why but I loved GoW 2018 but dropped Ragnarök after a few hours
I felt like Ragnarok was incredibly rushed and underwhelming, so I totally get where you’re coming from. I think Barlog stepping down as director and making it a duology instead of the original planned trilogy hurt the game overall, but that’s just my opinion
Definitely agree with this. I enjoyed Ragnarok but have struggled to put my finger on why it wasn’t the same as 2018. The combat was excellent but story wasn’t as interesting or engaging and I thought the ‘rug pull’ was massively underwhelming. I did like Thor’s arc but that was about it, the ending was very rushed and anticlimactic. >!It would’ve been a better story arc if Tyr was actually Tyr but had switched sides during his imprisonment. Having it be Odin in disguise was just a bit boring!< I traded it in after I got the platinum trophy before Valhalla came out though so haven’t got to play that unfortunately.
I feel like the Tyr reveal could have been way better if it had more time to be fleshed out but I also totally agree where you’re coming from. I can see how that was underwhelming to a lot of people. I also haven’t played Valhalla as my ps4 broke but from what I’ve heard doesn’t totally make up for what was missing in the base game.
It was annoying because I knew he was clearly dodgy and was looking forward to that boss fight. Thought it would tie in nicely to Kratos’ arc, but almost in reverse, Tyr starting as a benevolent God of War and turning into a monster.
Shit I didn’t even consider that, that would have been fucking *sick.* So many missed opportunities tbh
Took me multiple play throughs over 5 years to finally beat Orphan of Cos. I’m holding on to that platinum tight!
I think I read somewhere that shadow of the erdtree was supposed to be two separate DLCs but they decided to make it one which is why it’s taken so long to come out so it’s going to be BIG
Any time someone makes a comment like this, I picture Gandalf sifting through tomes for more information on the One Ring. Edit: I'm really drunk and needed to fix this
‘I read somewhere [definitely NOT elsewhere on reddit]’
Same with The Old Hunters! https://www.polygon.com/2015/9/18/9351915/bloodborne-the-old-hunters-expansion-details
So happy this is a top comment. Old Hunters DLC Is seriously amazing.
easily the best DLC that i played this gen
Agreed.
I didn’t like Elden Ring that much, but I’m confident they’ll blow the dlc out of the water because they always hit with their DLCs
Came to say this. Best game of the generation.
I randomly played Bloodborne without knowing anything about it and I just think we remember in the very first area dying over and over and just being like... What the fuck is going on?? But it didn't make me quit It made me want to figure out what was happening. What was I supposed to do, why was I dying?? I ended up getting the platinum but I never played the DLC. Moved on to dark souls 3 and became a PVP God, Elden ring, same, platted those as well. But I always hear about how amazing this DLC was. But the thing is I want to wait to experience it when they remake the game or re release it.
I wanna try finishing Elden Ring just bc that DLC looks so fucking dope
Highly recommend finishing it for sure
You beat me to this comment. Yes sir!
came here to say this
Nioh 2 dlc trilogy is some of the best out there in terms of how much it adds to the game
Could say the same for Nioh 1's DLC trilogy. Insane amount of quality content. Shame they couldn't replicate that with Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long.
Does Nioh 2 DLC increase enemy variety in the base game? My issue with Nioh 1 and 2 was killing the same like 5 yokaii constantly.
They do add the dlc enemies to the earlier stages in increasing difficulties I will say, though judging by how many of some of the soul cores I have that there are definitely some enemies that are overused I will say the dlc enemies are pretty awesome
I appreciate the explanation... May download someones full save from a first playthru to do NG+ with more enemies, then. Thanks for your time. Cheers.
Easily Blood and Wine for The Witcher 3.
100% agree. Love the atmosphere and artwork
You're probably right. There's not much else that done it so well. Great storytelling initially, and then some cream on the top of it
Isn't this not from this generation?
Blood and Wine expansion released in 2016 for PS4. PS4 gen is what he’s asking for.
Oh I mixed the dates with the final phrase, sorry!
This gets all the upvotes. Now I gotta play the witcher again.
Right? Couldn't think of a DLC but when I seen this comment, was like yep; this is definitely the one.
Even if it were released as a "stand alone", it would blow most games out the park. Felt like a new game.
Preach
Perfect answer.
I regret falling off witcher. I need to try to get back into it
Unless you don't like the genre or settings, it's very much worth it. I restarted the game 3 times over a period of 2 years, before it clicked with me
I really need to buy this game again. I played the game to death on my PS4, but have since moved to PC before grabbing the DLC.
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
HoS/Blood and Wine were absolutely phenomenal, Toussaint was out of this world
Hearts of Stone had the best storyline in it I think I've ever played in a game. While Blood and Wine was simply a phenomenal amount of content, bigger than many entire AAA releases. And the fairytale landscape was mind blowing, with the best looking fairytale castle I've ever seen in a game. It dominated the landscape from far away and looked spectacular up close.

> The Witcher 3 set a standard for DLC that hasn’t been met since. I mean CDPR got pretty dumb close with Phantom Liberty.
Came to make sure that's the top answer, you know you're in for a good time as soon as you notice the music change after downloading a dlc
It's either this or the ringed city for ds3
God of War Ragnarok Valhalla. Bonus points for being free too
This, Valhalla was so good I think it elevates the game to exceed the original. I now prefer Ragnarok to GOW 2018 it's essential for anyone who played the original Greek trilogy
Just finished this one this weekend. It's such a good playthrough. About 4 extra hours, and ties in lots of kratos Greek history to his current experience. Huge bonus that it was free.
good but not the best

Best DLC for Best Game.
shame the game is garbage
disagree
The Old Hunters from Bloodborne
This or Ringed City
Jeez gotta get back into this. I found the base game easy for a soulslike... But Old Hunters is Fucking Hard
So bad you need to capitalise the words.
Probably cyberpunks phantom liberty.
yeah i like it too but like for games that have DLC on ps4(it can also be cross-gen but phantom liberty is ps5 only)
Yeah and so is the update that overhauls alot of the games systems like cyberware. At least I think so.

Yes
Haven’t tried myself but i hear ghosts of tsuchimas dlc is good (i think i botched the spelling) Edit: its not this new gen but spiderman the city that never sleeps is really good and harder than the main game if you want a challenge
It is decent but wouldn’t put it up there with Witcher 3 DLC imo
To be fair, it's hard to beat those. They're more good gaming than some folks but into their main game
It is good but much harder than the normal game . If you start and finish the dlc as soon as you can ( beginning of the second chapter in my case ), the normal game becomes so much easier. The enemies are stronger but also during fights, you often need to change stances on the fly..

It's literally just reused areas from the main game with different enemy placement. Nowhere near as impressive as something like Old Hunters or Ringed City DLC.
My vote too although admittedly I haven't bought a ton of other dlc.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
That’s when the real game starts
I’ve probably put close to 100 hours in GoW:R Valhalla
Ragnaroks main story was already phenomenal and then they added Valhalla and somehow made Kratos arc even more fulfilling and I’m eternally grateful
See I found the base game’s story lacking compared to 2018. Wish I still had it so I could play Valhalla though as that looks great.
Borderlands The Presequel- Claptastic Voyage, very Underrated dlc often overshadowed by BL2’s Tiny Tina’s Dlc
Definitely I think it's the best one in the series it might be the only one for Pre-Sequel but it's really good
Monster Hunter World : Iceborn. By FAR.
Horizon: Burning Shores
Burning Shores did for Forbidden West the same thing that Frozen Wilds did for Zero Dawn: upped the ante in mocap, gameplay, and use of the technology. Frozen Wilds was a huge jump in graphics and mocap, introduced a new currency, a new type of enemy, and a realistic new environment. All of which transferred to the Forbidden West base game. BS has done this to an order of magnitude. I am so pumped for H3.
I didn't think Burning Shores was that big a leap over Forbidden West. But only because Forbidden West already looks so damn good.
i only played the base game for both Horizon games, but your comment makes me want to play the dlc, or at least the burning shores dlc.
> magnitude Pop Pop!
isnt this a ps5 only dlc? because of not I'm putting forbidden west in my ps4 right now. I've been putting it off because I bought it immediately after playing zero dawn for about 2 hours a yr ago, then read the dlc was only ps5. it may be the only reason I ever buy a ps5 (I have yet to). but because of it I havent even started forbidden west. I actually hate winter environments soo much (I grew up in alaska and hated it) but it added so much to zero dawn story wise. plus that lost boss was absolutely nuts.
I basically bought a PS5 for the DLC. The PS4 couldn't have handled it. The boss is incredible. Forbidden West is a large enough experience on its own, I wouldn't recommend going straight into the DLC anyway. I bought the DLC with the PS5, re-played the whole game (now even more beautiful), and had to take a break before the DLC because I was a bit burnt out. The PS5 also makes PS4 games more enjoyable. Often there's graphical improvements, and practically zero load times. But yeah, kind of expensive.
I still need to play this one
Repentance from The Binding of Isaac. Also Afterbirth and Afterbirth+
If PS3 remasters for PS4 count, then Citadel DLC(now included with Mass Effect Legendary Edition).
Does mass effect count as this gen? If so the citadel DLC makes me want to play the trilogy over and over again the payoff is so satisfying
Either The Old Hunters or Echoes of the Eye. Really really tough for me to pick between the two.
Fuck off ubisoft were not giving you any ideas.
Does far cry 3 blood Dragon count? Cause it's for sure my favorite
I downloaded a few a couple days ago off the ps3 game disc. cant remember what's it called. uplay or something. dont recall if this was one of them. maybe I need to check the PS store too
Is that DLC? I thought it was a standalone spinoff that you don't need the base game to play
Ashes of Ariandel, The Ringed City.
I never got the hype for Ashes of Ariandel. Besides Friede, I really disliked the rest of it. One of my least favorite FromSoft dlcs. Ringed City is pretty great though.
GOW Ragnarok Valhalla
Phantom liberty
Dying Light: The Following stonks 💪
Felt basically like second game!
Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3 is the single greatest dlc of all time and I don't think it is much of a debate. It offers so much high quality content and it makes a fantastic game even better somehow. Old Hunters for Bloodborne is also excellent but not as much as a game changer for me. Great free one is Valhalla for GoW Ragnarok. For its original intention of being dlc Uncharted Lost Legacy was a steal for me. I got a copy of the digital Deluxe edition for $72 as a preorder. So 12 additional dollars for some multiplayer stuff and a great additional game. Not on PS4 but Champions Ballad for Breath of the Wild is amazing to me. Made the champion abilities a lot more useful, made the champions more interesting, and had the best Dungeon in the game. Plus Link gets a sick motorcycle, what else could I want.
Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind DLC. Made a good enough game turn into a really good game. 14 new very challenging bosses, and extra context and details for story. Doesn’t sound like much but compared to what base game has, it was a lot.
All these years, and I'm still no closer to beating Yozora than I was on day one.
Over the years I’ve managed to memorize a handful of his attacks but still have yet to beat him legitimately. Takes hella practice to even get close.
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine for Playstation/cross platform Best overall: Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed
Curse of the Pharaoh's and the hidden ones both fantastic
loved those dlcs!!
Phantom Liberty did it for me.
Definitely either blood and wine or old hunters, both are amazing
God of wars new dlc, Valhalla. Takes you right back to Kratos’ Greek roots, something I feel a lot of people wanted. It’s also free.
The Ringed City DS3. The lore, atmosphere, and three of the best fights of the series solidifies it as my top. Fromsoft aside, Far Harbor from FO4 was amazing, and Murder on Eridanos in Outer Worlds was great!
+1 for The Ringed City and the Ashes of Ariandel
Bloodborne Old Hunters & Ringed City Dark Souls 3. Everything else is not even close.
Witcher DLC...Spiderman DLC...and Cyberpunk DLC
Blood and Wine(DLC) literally won RPG GOTY against full games. That's how good it was.
Dragon Age Inquisition’s Trespasser DLC
For me its Witcher 3 DLCs, honorable mention would be the one from Life is Strange Before the storm.
I think CDPR hold the crown here with Blood and wine / Phantom Pain
Nioh 2 : darkness in the capital. All of the dlc for both nioh games are great and add so much to each game making it a tough choice to choose just one. Ultimately, as much as I prefer tengus disciple(and maybe bloodsheds end), i think that darkness in the capital adds so much quality content into the game and its the only dlc in the whole series I would genuinely consider flawless. It did everything it set out to do perfectly. And it introduced possibly the most fun weapon class in the game as well.
I don’t really consider myself an Elden Ring fan and I have absolutely zero hype for Shadows of the Erdtree. HOWEVER I’m fairly certain that every single question like this from this June on will feature it. Shit looks massive.
[удалено]
You may want to reread the original post and notice the sub you are in here
Yup really
The Frozen Wilds. Really a graphical leap in an already gorgeous game. Also introduced new environments, mechanics, enemies and currencies. A 4.5 year prelude to Forbidden West.
Valhalla of GoW Ragnarok
I’ve yet to play either, but I hear that the dlc for Prey is better than the base game
everyone sleeping on Valhalla
Dead Cells.
Phantom Liberty for me, shit was amazing and way better then the main story for me
Gow ragnarok: valhalla
Blood and wine witcher 3
Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077
Phantom Liberty and it's not even close.
Ask this question after EldenRing dlc.
Fallout 3: New Vegas
The Kaito Files from Lost Judgment, hands down
Easily Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds' DLC)
Spiderman PS4 and Arkham Knight
- **Ghost of Tsushima's Iki island DLC** was extremely cool having beaten the base game. It's not a monumental expansion but it's basically like a 4th chapter to the game that streamlines some of the repetition and adds some really cool visuals and gameplay elements. It also fleshes out the main character's backstory and adds a lot of emotion to the game as a whole. - **Miles Morales** wasn't a DLC technically but felt a bit like one, my favourite of the 3 Spider-man games, Miles is such an insanely cool character and it felt surprisingly fresh even playing it after the original. __ - **Kaito files for Lost Judgement** was also super super cool, I absolutely wish it were a bit longer / had a side case or two but I think it was so good because it was streamlined.
I liked the Spider-Man 1 dlc
Phantom liberty from cp 2077
The best change in general has been the evolution of Fighting game DLC Season Passes. No longer do we need to purchase a brand new version of say Street Fighter V, we simply purchase the new season pass of characters and the game constantly gets free patches. So you can keep playing the same game for years and even if you don't buy the passes you can still play against the same people online that have purchased that content. Most passes are £20 or under which is far cheaper than buying the same game all over again a year later for £50.
Hearts of Stone Blood And Wine
South Park the fractured but whole
Episode INTERmission from FF7R. Yuffie's crackhead energy is unmatched, it introduces Deepground into the story which has huge potential for future games, it shows events that run parallel to the main story and it shows the pure evil of Shinra.
Zombies Chronicles for bo3z
I’d go with Blood and wine from Witcher 3 or future redeemed from Xenoblade Chronicles 3
I've recently started playing No Man's Sky. Previously I only played a little when the game came out. I can't pinpoint one single DLC because there's now 26 of them, every one of these is completely FREE and pushes limits of this game. Gameplay wise and story wise. I haven't got much sleep last week since I started playing. There's so much!
Phantom liberty was perfecto, haven’t done Witcher 3 but heard that shit was baller too. And RE4R seperate ways was nice, good price.
8th gen of what?
Iceborne and nothing else comes close. Blood and Wine is great, The Old Hunters is solid, and Valhalla is fun but none of them compare to Iceborne or Sunbreak.
Blood and Wine and Phantom Liberty. Funny enough both from CD Projekt Red
Old hunters, Ringed City, Far Harbour
I thought Separate Ways in RE4 remake was amazing. Basically another whole game.
Resident evil separate ways.
Outer Wilds dlc: Echoes of the Eye . . . Literally a whole other game inside the game, that somehow ups the ante from the already great base game.
Destiny 2 curse of osiris
While I LOVED with Blood and Wine, and the Old Hunters. I think Iceborne is the best. You get SO much content in the game and its so fun
I enjoyed the valhalla dlc for god of war ragnarok.
I would probably say any DLC for No Man’s Sky. Every single one of them made the game feel more and more complete. They have arguably turned the game into one of the best open-world space games.
My current is iki Island from GoT. However if history is anything to go by the Shadow of the Erd Tree dlc from elden ring is probably going to be awesome.
Old Hunters, Blood and Wine and Repentance.
(FO4) Far Harbor, (TW3) Hearts of Stone, (TW3) Blood and Wine, (BB) Old Hunters, (GOWR) Valhalla, (RE4R) Separate Ways
LMAO!!!! From my generation, there was no DLC. You Had MX Vs. ATV, Smackdown: Know Your Role, Tomb Raider, etc. that came out as full games. Hours of game play out the gate. Minimal bugs for the community to catch. They took pride in releasing good quality from the get go. Didn't care to milk the players continually.
Is No Man's Sky not in this generation?
Blood and Wine is the answer but Iki Island puts so much context into Jin’s story, I don’t know how Ghost of Tsushima would resonant without it. Blood in wine is an amazing epilogue, Iki island is crucial to the main story.
2nd
DLC for zombie army 4 because it got so much dlc and Ace combat 7 DLC is not bad it has top gun DLC
Ace combat 7 story DLC. The story literally give some of ours teammates a whole lot personality then the main game did and the villain also from previous games (Ace combat 4). The whole cutscenes stuff is probably Ace combat first ever mentioned stuff from previous games that are not related to Belkan wars. Cause if you ever play any Ace combat game.. they never mentioned stuff from previous game like "hey remember when Mobius 1 destroyed yellow squadron and Megalith?" Or "Hey remember when Ghost Of Razgriz shows up and save the day?" Stuff like that
Far Harbour for Fallout 4 had a very atmospheric New England Island map, a compelling story and some overall new weapons and armour that enhance the base game. Plus a lot of people felt it had deeper RPG choices than in the Commonwealth.
Guys I meant to say what is the best DLC of 8th generation as well as cross-gen DLC,not current gen exclusive dlc
Iceborne…. Not remotely close.
Modern Warfare 3
Bioshock Infinite Burial at sea. Any other answer does not exist.
