It depends on the dlc.

depends on the dlc, i had a great time going back to outer worlds for the gorgon and halcion helen dlc with the fbs enhancements on series x.

Well, Outer Worlds is junk so that's you're problem. The DLC for Dark Souls and Bloodborne was terrific. DLC also lets devs recoup more development costs from hardcore fans without raising prices on people who are unsure about a game. It keeps dev teams busy while new games are being developed and often acts as a higher difficulty mode for people who enjoyed the base game and are ready for a bigger challenge. Frozen Wilds Horizon DLC being a great example of that.

Remember Expansion Packs?

Same. I just wait for Complete Editions. Just bought MK11 Ultimate this week for 25 bucks. Great game, great purchase, but never would have bought it barebones.

Unfortunately dlc will never go away. Publisher and devs. Make most of their money from them

Would have thought ME3's Prothean DLC would have caused enough of an uproar, especially given EA's excuse that the deep lore character was meant to draw in new players at what was a trilogy's final entry, but no. People actually defended that BS.

It's never been worth it. With them trying to make $70 the new norm for games I better never hear dlc again smfh.

Yeah at least it’s not as bad as it was back in the day. Playing through Alan Wake to get a cliffhanger ad having 2 DLC’s finish the story. “it’s not a lake, it’s an ocean”. Also Prince of Persia 2008 also ended on a cliffhanger same practice. At least we’ve gotten away from that and things like EA inserting stations in Dead space 3 to buy upgrade resources for your weapons.

DLC you have to be very selective about which you get. Its pretty rare to get decent DLC out of any game. My only rule of thumb atm is to avoid Ubisoft DLC. 99% of the time its complete trash.

Then get used to paying $70 a game. That’s what it costs.

You’re a bit late.

I am fine DLC. Don't buy if you are not.

Seriously. Im not picking up a game I beat Months to Years ago just to play a 5-10 hour DLC.

The DLC model is horrendous to me. It has nothing to do with pricing, I would just rather wait for these games to have this content up front and play through it then, rather than a slow trickle

Outer Worlds was fun and worth the price of admission. I wasn't itching for more content though.

Been sayin it for years.

During the last decade I paid thousand of € for games but I only bought dlc for Splatoon 2 and BOTW. I only played the Splatoon 2 DLC.
I really don’t like to pay for something that should have been in a game.

For me, the DLC that was most worth it was for Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Like the song? Buy the song. Don’t like the song? Don’t buy the song.

Others take it way too far with the DLC. (Looking at you Koei Tecmo)

It was never worth it. I’ve always leaned toward the game of the year editions with all the DLC included.

We need DLC like Minerva’s Den again not just quick cash ins.

It's why I usually wait for it all to be released, then just torrent the game with everything included. Your not going to nickel-and-dime me on the PC 😀 It should have all been released at the start.

I couldn't agree more. Even for some of my favorite games, going back often isn't very appealing.
