Best DLC of all time??

It's hard to beat the DLC for New Vegas IMO. Seperately they were great, but each DLC expansion also serves as a chapter in an overarching story relating to the Courier and his "rival" which ties into the story in the main game in multiple ways. I've never seen another game trying what Obsidian did with the DLC for New Vegas.

The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone is also a pretty strong contender. I don't get why so many people are saying Blood & Wine, Hearts of Stone is way better IMO.
 
Hearts of Stone or Mario Kart 8.

WipEout Fury was cool, too.

Can't wait to see what they do with BotW.


Edit: Just to stir up some shit, I thought Blood & Wine was dull as shit, bailed after 5 hours or so.
 
Any of the Fallout New Vegas DLC's, but specifically Old World Blues. Never laughed so much while trying to survive as I have in the time I spent with that DLC. The DLC in that game are so cleverly tied back to the main story, stunned more developers don't try to do that

Better than the game itself and it's free.
 
technically New Super Luigi U was DLC so I'm gonna go with that. those were some really nice levels.

obviously the Mario Kart 8 DLC is up there too, both in terms of the content and the value at $12 for that content. those DLC tracks are some of the best in the series. Dragon Driftway, Excitebike Arena, the Cheese Land and Ribbon Road updates, Wild Woods, Animal Crossing, Hyrule Circuit, and of course Big Blue and Mute City. the DLC for that game took Mario Kart 8 from being the best in the series to being the best in the series by such a wide margin it was comical.
 
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone is also a pretty strong contender. I don't get why so many people are saying Blood & Wine, Hearts of Stone is way better IMO.

A better narrative, sure. Blood & Wine is also better than the base game, just in different ways. I love the new areas and the tweaks to open world design.
 
Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone
Probably one of the best video game stories I've ever played

Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
The story wasn't as good as HoS but the sheer amount of content this DLC offers is amazing. + Toussaint is just gorgeous and the ending was great.
 
The Last Of Us: Left Behind

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters

Witcher 3: Blood and & Wine

Its between these 3.
 
World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Shivering Isles

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Vietnam

Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen

Titan Quest - Immortal Throne

Non-downloadable (i.e. back in the dark ages):

Half-Life - Opposing Force/Blue Shift

Starcraft - Brood War

Diablo II - Lord of Destruction

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Tribunal/Bloodmoon

Warcraft 3 - Frozen Throne

Pretty much all of the expansion for Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and 3.
 
The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Never was I so excited for DLC, never was it so worth it. Especially Blood and Wine has the production value and content of a complete game.
 
1. Undead Nightmare
2. TLOU Left Behind
3. The Old Hunters
4. Far Cry Blood Dragon
5. Ballad of Gay Tony/Lost and Damned
 
Mass Effect 2: shadow broker dlc

I bought the mass effect 3 dlcs years ago, but never got around to play them. Maybe when I'm finished with Andromeda.
 
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Undead Nightmare.

Blood Dragon wasnt DLC.
Or are we using DLC in a different sense???


On Topic

Hearts of Stone was so much fun it was almost criminal that it wasnt part of the main game.

But i gotta give it to Blood and Wine. Hearts of Stone is one of my favorite gaming errr stories but B&W was like a whole new dimension to the witcher so it wins on content.


P.S The ending of Hearts of Stone is fucking incredible, I have to do my yearly Witcher playthrough soon and i cant wait to get to Hearts of Stone.
 
It's rare to find a thread asking a question to which there is only one right answer, but this is one such thread.

Blood and Wine is the greatest single piece of DLC ever released. It's pretty much an entire game all over again, of a quality that shits all over most other complete games. No-one even begins to touch CDPR for their DLC release commitment.
 
Probably Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine... HoS has an amazing story and one of the best villains in the history of gaming, whereas Blood and Wine at times feels like a Witcher 3.5, with new world map, good story, great characters etc.

I literally felt like I was stealing from devs when I was buying those expansions for such a cheap price at release.

Honorable mention goes to Old Hunters, however they really overpriced it.
 
you guys opening this up to pre-DLC expansion packs are changing the whole playing field of this discussion.

This man speaks the truth!
