One of my favourite games is Hunter call of the wild, last week they released their latest DLC reserve, Emerald Coast in Australia. This DLC was £5, and it will probably give me at least 50 hours of gameplay. Insane value for money.

Obviously CoTW is a niche title, tbh I gave it a spin on GP as it looked relaxing and I now have nearly 1000 hours in it, and I've never hunted irl or been interested in it. The fact it's a niche title and doesnt sell by the bucketload would make you think they would charge more, which makes the £5 price tag even better.

Another one I can think of was the DLC for Trials Evolution/Rising. Hundreds of hours of gameplay for just a few quid.

In an age where overpriced DLC lacking in content is the norm, I think it's good to recognise the companies that actually give you some true value for your hard earned cash.

What are some of your best value for money DLC?

 

[10101]

I only buy DLC if it adds something akin to the expansion packs of yore - like you describe in the OP. So I don’t get much anymore lol

Always loved the GTA 4 expansions, thought they were good value. But sitting here struggling to remember anything worthwhile I bought since!

 

[Robb]

Probably the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe booster pack. $25 for 48 new courses and several new playable characters. You pretty much get an entire Mario Kart game worth of content on top of the existing one.

 

[LectureMaster]

The Ringed City

The old hunters

But nothing beats Blood and Wine.

 

[TexMex]

Dead Cells. Fun expansions and all of them are only $5 (except the new Castlevania thing)

 

[Hudo]

I have yet to come across DLC that feels worth paying for.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Rogue like DLC can be the excuse you need to put another 100 hours in the game. So for me FTL advanced edition and the binding of isaac DLCs have insane value. Same for strategy games like Starcraft Brood war.

 

[A.Romero]

Witcher 3

Dragon ball fighterz characters

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

The same game that gave us horse armor also gave us Shivering Isles.

 

[Fbh]

Blood and and Wine (Witcher 3) was legitimately better and more content packed than several $60 games I bought last gen

 

[cireza]

Outer Wilds DLC

 

[Danjin44]

 

[mrmustard]

Vampire Survivors, The Witcher 3

 

[Tams]

Age of Empires II: The Conquers

E x p a n s i o n

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

Minerva’s Den

 

[theStartupSound]

Resident Evil 8: Winter‘s Expansion was worth the money.

The same with RE7 with that crazy strong uncle who beat everyone up instead of weapons

 

[worldwithpyramids]

If expansions count then nothing beats Brood War, Frozen Throne and Lord of Destruction.

 

[John Bilbo]

Doom Eternal DLC was pretty good. CSGO coop missions on some of the DLC were fun.

 

[skit_data]

When it comes to being pretty much essential I'd say the Witcher 3 DLCs, the Dark Souls 1-3 and Old Hunters DLCs are up there. Both because of what they bring in terms of story but also gameplay.

 

[Denton]

Blood and Wine + Hearts of Stone is unbeatable duo. Just the amount of quality and quantity is unparalleled.

Other very good expansions were those for Dishonored, or Shivering Isles for Oblivion, or Following for Dying Light.

 

[Tsaki]

Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Nothing else comes close.

Edit: Dammit.

 

[01011001]

 

[theStartupSound]

The additional maps in Hitman 1+2 (3 doesn’t have any, right ?)

 

[Fuz]

The Witcher 3

 

[xrnzaaas]

The additional maps in Hitman 1+2 (3 doesn’t have any, right ?)

Hitman 3 eventually got a free new map as a way of thanking the community for the support. What came before that for Hitman 3 was crap - IOI wanted people essentially to pay for new escalations and the value of that was horribly bad.

 

[Wildebeest]

Prey Mooncrash.
Talos Principle Road To Gehenna.

 

[Esppiral]

GTA IV DLC were legit.

 

[PeteBull]

very good was d3: reaper of souls xpack, unbeatable value(literally few k of hours played) is d2 lord of destruction xpack

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

very good was d3: reaper of souls xpack, unbeatable value(literally few k of hours played) is d2 lord of destruction xpack

I think that ros is the last good thing g blizzard did. They managed to turn d3 around with it, which was nice. The blizzard xpacs of yore were also great.

From soft expansions are phenomenal

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

This thing was $10 dollars back in the day. Nowadays they would try to sell us this for $40 lol.

 

[Drizzlehell]

The Witcher 3 expansions

Any Elder Scrolls Online expansion

Any of the New Vegas DLCs

[thegame983]

Hearts of Stone for the Witcher 3 is possibly the best best storyline in gaming.

 

[Josemayuste]

The Ringed City

The old hunters

But nothing beats Blood and Wine.

Vampire Survivors, The Witcher 3

/thread

 

[oji-san]

The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
Fallout New Vegas all DLCs.
And also comes to mind when i think about DLCs i enjoyed is Mafia 3 which i was glad i got the edition with the season pass.

 

[Paasei]

Prey Mooncrash.
Talos Principle Road To Gehenna.

Was about to post your first one, after already seeing so many about The Witcher 3

Mooncrash is literally one of the best DLCs of all time.

 

[Bartski]

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. 250+ hours and it's free.

 

[IFireflyl]

Hundreds of hours of gameplay for just a few quid.

Super weird currency names. Reason #173,649 that the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.

 

[Mr Branding]

Gta 4 both Dlc’s were great
Rdr Undead Nightmare
Oblivion and Skyrim also had quality Dlc
Witcher 3 has some of the best expansions.

 

[Gojiira]

Super weird currency names. Reason #173,649 that the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.

Quid is slang much like how Yanks use ‘bucks’ when they mean dollars…
Reason #173,650 why nobody takes America seriously

Lmao

 

[ReBurn]

Only game expansions. I've never seen value in consumables, weapons/items, or skins.

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[nightmare-slain]

This thing was $10 dollars back in the day. Nowadays they would try to sell us this for $40 lol.

Nowadays they charge up to $100 just for ingame money that you can spend on a stupid car that they could vault when they feel like it.

Rockstar was at their best when they put out DLC like Undead Nightmare and Ballad/Lost & Damned for GTA IV.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

If expansions count then nothing beats Brood War, Frozen Throne and Lord of Destruction.

The Burning Crusade was also insane, it was basically a whole new game. As most WoW expansions are.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

I think that ros is the last good thing g blizzard did. They managed to turn d3 around with it, which was nice. The blizzard xpacs of yore were also great.

From soft expansions are phenomenal

Shame ROS didn't sell well. They were building a second expansion for the game until they saw the sales and cancelled it, how unfortunate.

 

[Gambit2483]

This thing was $10 dollars back in the day. Nowadays they would try to sell us this for $40 lol.

Amazing how Rockstar's success has now turned it into the one of the worst examples of industry monetization.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World.

Hell, any of the G rank/master rank expansions for monster hunter games are always worth every penny.
