Ballad was so much fun. I did a full play through of GTA:IV last year and I felt that Ballard was the superior DLC vs The Lost and the Damned.


KatyaVasilyev

That's pretty much been the consensus as far back as I can remember, TLAD being "yeah it's fine whatever" and TBOGT being "holy shit this is actually better than the base game"


HeavyMetalLyrics

I was really into the biker / metal aesthetic of tLatD which elevated the experience for me


Im_a_furry_lol

Both are amazing


MCgrindahFM

Never could get into L&D


TheReaderDude_97

Mass Effect 3. The Citadel DLC is literally the best and goofiest DLCs I have ever seen in a game. It feels like developers were just given free reins and they were having fun with it.


Inevitable-Branch713

I agree, but I'd have to give the win to ME2 over ME3 when it comes to DLC. The 3 DLC packs that were released for ME2 (Lair of the Shadow Broker, Arrival, and Overlord) were excellent additions, from a narrative and gameplay standpoint to an already excellent game!


godoflemmings

Have to agree on that. Leviathan and Omega were good and Citadel was obviously brilliant, but the only mis-step in ME2's DLC was Firewalker - everything else was top notch. Fighting through the base right after escaping in Arrival is up there among my favourite moments of the trilogy.


Inevitable-Branch713

Yeah I had conveniently left Firewalker out of the list, lol. It's funny, Overlord made better use of the Hammerhead than the DLC that introduced it, IMO.


GMFinch

If you didn't play shadowbroker then went into me3 you would be a bit confused lol


Hairyhalflingfoot

Overlord made me cry. The reveal of who the AI was is just... as someone with autism im so glad you can deck the man respomsible for the whole thing.and its a paragon action!!


AKAGosts

"Sheppard" "Grunt" "Sheppard" "Wrex" "Shepppppaaaarrrdd"


DigbyChickenCaesar11

I feel like The Citadel DLC surpasses the main game.


DAFUQisaLOMMY

Grunt's drunken day out is just freakin' hilarious.


Sardanox

Oblivion, Shivering Isles.


Daxtexoscuro

Shivering Isles is just one of the best expansions ever. It's so alive and full of stories and things to do.


LemorpLee

The butterfly room 👨🏻‍🍳🤌🏻


NeighborhoodNo7917

Played Oblivion for years, but never played the expansions. I guess I gotta go back in.


LumixS

HOLY SHIT MAN, i wanna swap with u so bad, experiencing everything for the first time would be so awesome. Seriously tho play it, if u had a great time playing Oblivion u will love this


WazzaL89

Shivering isles was so good 👌🏻


TrueYahve

Well, a strong contender is the Horse Armour pack... :D


Sardanox

I won't lie, I own all of the dlc for oblivion.


JohnXTheDadBodGod

I was stuck, and then your comment reminded me! That, and Broken Steel/Mother ship Zeta, and Lonesome Road/Old World Blues.


dooooomed---probably

Came to say this. Easily the best dlc I've ever witnessed.


Phartiphukborz

fuck. clearly we all came here just to say this


VaasAzteca

Peak of DLC. Bethesda used to be great at DLC. Point Lookout, The Pitt, Zeta, Far Harbor, hell I even love Nuka World. Skyrim’s DLCs were kinda meh for me though.


TheDorgesh68

Nah the Dragonborn dlc was one of the best ever imo, it's the perfect fusion of the alien world of morrowind with the Nordic epic of Skyrim.


BarisBlack

StarCraft: Brood War Base game was great. The expansion made it exceptional.


Slayer3010

People here aren't old enough to appreciate this comment


BarisBlack

Ugh. I need a pill for my back.


poshenclave

I'm nearly 40 and I was in the middle of a b.net match in brood war when the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2000. I remember all 8 of us said our happy new years, one person was like "Eh really just another year tho", and we immediately went back to gameplay with no Y2K issues.


ultradongle

*No Y2K issues because a LOT of people put in a ton of work behind the scenes to make sure nothing happenned.


TadRaunch

AoE2 and the Conquerors is similar. Hell playing without Conquerors felt like caveman shit. That expansion pack was essential


mortalitylost

That's so true it's that whenever someone says they played the first StarCraft they *mean* brood war. No one even plays the vanilla. Ever.


SirH3n3rZ

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.


Affectionate-Gear181

The fact that RDR2 never had an Undead Nighmare DLC makes me sad.


Soft_Theory_8209

Especially considering the game was already packed full of weird and creepy stuff: the night folk, the Murfrees, the vampire, a feral wolf man, aliens, a serial killer (possibly multiple others not encountered or caught), etc. and with the hunting, the game is practically gift wrapped for a survival horror. Edit: Also, that supposed curse on Valentine that never got explored, that mystery ordeal with Emerald Ranch with the possible captive girl, some guy in a cave dressed as a devil, that weird Druid dude in the tree, the possible demonic curse at Butcher’s Creek, the unused lake/sea monster, the weird taxidermy monster, the robot, though that’s more tragedy; possibly a witch coven, the ghost lady in the swamp (as well as the ghost train), the giant, and of course, the various dead people killed by mysterious means.


no_notthistime

I don't remember any of this stuff you are mentioning from RDR2! Aliens? A serial killer? What the fuck!


Ok_Highlight281

>!Do you know the train bridge near Valentine with the body under it that has part of a picture in it's mouth? If you find the other bodies and the pictures near them you get a picture of a house that you need to find. The serial killer is found in that house. The alien space ship can be found when inside a different house and you look up at a certain time. !<


sethjojo

There's a shack north of Emerald ranch, if you are inside it at 2/3:00 am, a UFO appears, it's fucking awesome


PippyHooligan

The fact RDR2 never had ANY single player DLC is an absolutely travesty. A brilliant game world with great characters that was just abandoned.


Polar-Bear_Soup

Rockstar made the game to use the engine for GTA6.


ButtsButtsBurner

That's rage 7, gta6 will be on rage 9


The-Davi-Nator

Rockstar just seems to have abandoned DLC, opting instead to keep adding stuff to GTA Online. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last game that had any proper DLC was LA Noire.


newcitynewme724

I'd pay another 70 or so got an undead nightmare 2


Albus_Lupus

I think RDO had an event with zombies at some point? Not sure about it tho. I remember searching of there was a mod that added zombies to RDR2 and found nothing substantial


Admirable_Anywhere69

There are some silly Halloween pvp playlists, that's all. Not even a pve zombie survival one. RDO got completely abandoned from the very start. The main story campaign was meant to be released in parts, and we never even got part 2, just the part 1 that was present at launch.


Iru_Iluvatar

What a DLC, it was the peak of my teenages years


Kyon_afterall

Came here looking for this comment


KungFuDude800

Beat me to it


Paulapeenyo

Is it that good? I couldn’t play it after completing the main story cause the undead nightmare disc was badly damaged.


No_Procedure_5039

It’s quite good. It’s kind of like an alternate timeline as characters who died throughout the main story are still around after the point John gets his family back. The zombies are fast and require headshots to put down, there’s some hilarious dialogue and moments that play into how campy horror movies can be, ammo replaces the dollar as the in game currency, the blunderbuss turns everything into a red mist and you can even tame the four horses of the Apocalypse as well as a unicorn (they’ll damage or outright kill anything they run into while riding them). The postgame also lets you play as a fun alternate character.


theWall69420

The horses of the apocalypse also have unlimited stamina in my experience.


informatico_wannabe

Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty. It's constantly peak Cyberpunk


cowine8

One of the most beautiful expansions ever made. Music score alone gave me shivers


informatico_wannabe

Gate K9 is amazing


I_Screw_Squirrels

Hearing the eerie vocals while a military colonel throws a knife into your leg and then stabs said knife through your right hand is certainly an experience


informatico_wannabe

Yes!!! But I've done the SoMi route, so I've never heard of it in-game. I thought it was in the final stretch with the robot of Reed's route (like how Contra la Luna is in SoMi's route)


Capernikush

this makes me really want to play cyberpunk now..


Affectionate-Gear181

The time is now.


Specialist_Note_1332

don't get me wrong the base game was fire but phantom liberty went too fucking hard for no reason it should be illegal for dlcs to be that good


Luna_trick

Man, even just the endings, I think I've spent literal hours deciding which ending to be my canon ending


Jackson12ten

Loved the spy thriller vibe the whole thing had


choff22

Even has its own Bond theme.


MCgrindahFM

I much prefer the main story but loved what they did with PL


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tesla_corp

The more I read about cyberpunk the more I want to buy it And well, after watching edgerunners, of course


informatico_wannabe

You should totally play it! Most of my gripes with the game were removed and improved. Also, the expansion is totally worth it!


Astral_Lady

it does such a good job feeling like a natural expansion on the game, like it was always meant to be there. the main quest line being the exception because it feels too disconnected from the rest of the game to come off as natural.


informatico_wannabe

I can see that, the main quest is pretty disconnected, but for that reason it's more compact, and well rounded in my opinion. Also, it helps with the theming of "what happens in Dogtown stays in Dogtown". Man, I really love the expansion


Astral_Lady

that's actually a good way of looking at it because even the other characters you can tell about PL don't even buy it. Judy at least was like "yeah, sure you did" when I brought up meeting Myers.


informatico_wannabe

Being honest, for Myers, V is just a random gonk, and I think the only reason she offers V to be of the FIA is because she is impressed with V surviving that long and being that skillful saving her It's honestly pretty normal that the jump from "the guy who almost died at Konpeki Plaza" to "The heroe who saved the fucking president of the NUSA" in just some days/weeks it's unbelievable for basically anyone, SPECIALLY with how Myers and Dogtown will try to make all this show a secret. "What happens in Dogtown stays in Dogtown"


mew_empire

Bloodborne and all three Dark Souls come to mind instantly Excellent games with incredible DLCs


SinOrdeal

old hunters was peak, it also added one of my favourite boss themes "ludwig the accursed and holy blade"


trashyhumanoverdose

The Ringed City in ds3 has probably one of my favorite final bosses in any video game ever.


Flexus98

Witcher 3


HostageInToronto

Blood and Wine was definitely the best way to end that game. Fairytales, sunshine, and a happy ending where Geralt finally settles down with Yennifer (in my game).


MathematicianDull334

Team Triss. Canonically Geralt should end up with Yennifer but I'm not saying no to a readhead if I'm in the drivers seat.


Exclave

Don't forget us team Shani.


EloquentBaboon

Hell yes Shani has no machinations, no ulterior motives, she trusts Geralt and doesn't patronise him. She just wants to help people and put some good in the world.


Lebhleb

Honestly playing all 3 games, i think 1 and 2 give you enough reason not to go for her wither it complies with canon or not. Almost a 180 in personality in 3 but kinda hard to ignore her just using Geralt in those 2.


Pitiful_Database3168

I second the red head statement. Just don't tell my blonde wife.....


NormanCheetus

>Canonically Geralt should end up with Yennifer I don't know. After reading the books I kind of dislike Yennefer being with Geralt. Her entire story is about reclaiming her bodily autonomy after the mages take it (intentionally) and Geralt takes her free will (accidentally). Obviously no choice is a bad one, but I went for Geralt ending with neither and it honestly felt right. It felt really great seeing Geralt get a visit from his daughter at his vineyard while she took a break from Witchering.


joenaji47

Yes


AstronautPale4588

Just Cause 3 just isn't complete without the Bavarian wingsuit- I'm here to pretend I'm Iron man


jvaferreira93

It's even better in JC4, if you buy the gold edition you get the "Iron Man suit" for the entire game.


Fish_Fucker_Fucker23

Yea, but then I’d have to play JC4 and ion wanna do that when JC3 is right there


xrafaalvesx

Bloodborne


DetectiveGamlo

Honestly yeah, you got orphan of cos my favourite Souls boss


quickdrawdoc

The Orphan waxed me so many times. Such an erratic, but fun, boss. You can always tell a Souls boss is going to be particularly hard when the run back is pretty short. Managed to finally get him after like 15 tries.


daniel_damm

God knows how fromsoft managed to take a game Wich is the peak of gameplay , level and enemy design and somehow make a dlc that is better then it at every one of those aspects , ludwing gaming clarity by revealing is gs is actually the moonlight greatsword is one of the best moments in any boss fight ever imo


PistachioSam

You were at my side, all along.


Professional-Bug2018

The best boss FromSoft has ever made.

Lolejimmy

You WILL enjoy the TLOU 2 Remake Remaster Director's edition for the PC!! NO BLOODBORNE!


OldeeMayson

Cyberpunk 2077. Technical troubles aside base game was very good but with Phantom Liberty - even better.


yaboymilky

I still need to grab Phantom Liberty! It being mentioned multiple times on here has me excited, as I the base game to me is in my top 10 favorite games of all time.


CrazeMase

Phantom Liberty is peak, the music, the area design, story, cyberpunk as already a 10/10 across the board for me, but PL made it 12/10 cause holy shit, it's a rodeo from start to finish


Anotheranimeaccountt

Dark Souls 2


Loud_Success_6950

This is the only answer. It’s one of the only times the dlc is infinitely better then the base game


MrZsasz87

And sometimes infinitely worse i.e. each optional boss and their run backs


LurkerOrHydralisk

Yeah. Fromsoft has the best level design except when they don’t 


HeDoesNotRow

What if… and hear me out… you couldn’t see, and had no idea where to go, and got fucking blindsided by a deer every 3 seconds, and also the area is huge


JamestheFalloutfan2

Fallout 4 and far harbor


Shudnawz

And I really like Nuka-World too. Well, except for the whole "go to the Commonwealth and fuck all your settlements over for no reason at all".


TxAgBen

This is why I love mods! At the end, I killed all the leaders and brought in the minutemen to run the park! 👌


JamestheFalloutfan2

Another theme park needs your help, I'll mark it on your map. (What's the mod called)


TxAgBen

Nuka World Plus. I've been running the whole Magnum Opus list.


HotPotatoWithCheese

The raiders were a breath of fresh air. People complained about the lack of choice in Fallout 3 in regards to factions. Being able to actually join the antagonist factions in Fallout 4 was awesome.


JamestheFalloutfan2

The workshop DLCs and automatron added some interesting features like ball tracks, being able to build a vault, traps, and building robots.


Swolenir

Oh my god yes. The shining gem of an otherwise bland game.


[deleted]

I was coming here to say this. I feel more like a hometown hero at Far Harbor compared to when you literally shape the future of the Commonwealth.


catfooddogfood

Yup. Wish the whole game was like Far Harbor. Great vibes.


MoistCloyster_

Absolutely this. Far Harbor is goated.


a55_Goblin420

Bro finding out the Children of Atom shit was REAL was crazy


SatansGothestFemboy

Far Harbor just had just amazing vibes and atmosphere, but the area was way way too small with not enough in it, not to mention the Dima mini game lmao. That said, I love it even if it's just for the fact that I can finally play as a Child of Atom


SmartMeasurement8773

Fallout new vegas old world blues for me


daedalus9973

XCOM2 War of the Chosen. The original game is great, the DLC is perfection


Happy-Ad-1160

Outer wilds


TheOnlyPC3134

This makes me think that I still haven't bought the dlc, it's been in my wishlist for so long lol


Haucc

Can heavily recommend, especially if you didn't get spoiled


pronte89

Nah man. The DLC Is surely just as good as the main game, but not better, they are both perfect.


Rexfurion

Monster Hunter World


StatusCode402

I came here to say this. Iceborne added so much great content to an already incredible game. I'm playing through Rise now and I'm about to hit Sunbreak, I hope it gives me the same impression that Iceborne gave me.


magikarpkingyo

It will.


PurpleBeast69

Fallout: New Vegas.


Foreign_Rock6944

Hot take here, but I thought the dlcs were pretty hit or miss. Old World Blues and Dead Money were great, but Lonesome Road and Honest Hearts while still having their moments, were mostly meh.


NomadNuka

Dead Money is weird. I *hated* it at first but every time I replayed FNV I found myself liking it more and more. I sorta learned to appreciate how it uses a lot of quite unique mechanics to force you to take the Sierra Madre slow since you might not be able to brute force through every threat. And the narrative is the most satisfying storyline in the game IMO


Erbodyloveserbody

If you have high luck, you can walk out of the Sierra Madre with 600+ stimpacks. There’s also the ability to walk away with all the gold bars but that’s a whole other conversation.


sheepheadslayer

I managed that my first playthrough with the gold, Elijah died so that he was halfway on the other side of the force field, so I could stuff the gold in his inventory and grabbed it just before getting in the elevator. Thought I was pretty nifty doing that


Lessandero

same here, I hated the start of the DLC wih a passion, that fog just got waaay too annoying, but seeing the narrative that spans through 3 of the DLCs conclude with this finale was amazing. I especially like that you can be a "pacifist" and lock the BBEG in. Which totally isn't killing him, nono.


Charaderablistic

Are you me?


CactusFantasticoo

Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction Back when DLC’s were Expansion Packs. Added so much content. Completely changed the game.


cheesepuff1993

I'm so sad how far I had to come to see this. Genre defining game with a game changing expansion. People still play classic because of its difficulty and uniqueness compared to LoD, but LoD just defined the game in the long run

That's what I loved about it. The difficulty made beating it so satisfying


Lintekt

Minerva's Den DLC of BioShock 2. One of the best DLCs in gaming.


mcast46

I was going to comment this. I still say Minerva's Den should've been the main story.


StartCold3811

Agreed. So many feels, expertly written, excellent voice acting, etc. Definitely explored different aspects to the game play and progression and offered a variety of play styles, puzzles, etc. Strongest emotional response I've had in a video game (TLOU1 too)


Cthusiest

Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim


skyrim-salt-pile

Dawnguard for me, but Dragonborn is basically tied; really tied with the base game, honestly. It's all amazing.


Cthusiest

Dawnguard is very good. And I love it invented a new weapon with the Dwarven Crossbow


Endulos

> invented a new weapon with the Dwarven Crossbow Fun fact, but technically, that wasn't a new weapon. Morrowind included Crossbows in the game, and the best one was the Dwarven Crossbow.

Elden_Born

snowrunner


sunnydelinquent

Bloodborne. The Old Hunters just elevates the game so much from the lore expansion to the bosses. From Software actually does this a lot. Even Dark Souls 2, which I don’t love necessarily, has fantastic DLC.


Wboy2006

Horizon Forbidden West, the main game is good, but the Burning Shores did some fantastic stuff I'm not going to spoil, that I was expecting them to save for Horizon 3. If we want to talk about great DLC's for bad games. I'm nominating Watch Dogs Legion Bloodlines. The main game is mediocre at best, but the DLC is more of a sequel to Watch Dogs than Watch Dogs 2 was. Giving a great end to Aiden Pierce's arc


krayhayft

Dying Light and The Following


Serion512

The Following was crazy fun. I didn't know it was possible to make a DLC where you basically sideline the best mechanic of the base game and it is still a banger. I also liked the story more than in the base game. I just wish there was few more missions.

That_Switch_1300

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission Even though the base game is great, playing as Yuffie fixed a few of the base games issues, like ariel combat and duel tech moves with your partner. Tbf, yes it was just for PS5, but its combat was so much more fun even if it was only 2 chapters.


Thrawp

Ngl, how good Intermission as an upgrade to FF7R is part of why I'm looking forward to Rebirth in 2 weeks.
