Games you wish had DLC

Splinter Cell Blacklist.

I would've easily picked up any and all side missions for campaign or co-op. That game, with its hub and mission design certainly looked perfectly set up to slide in post-release content.
 
Any of the Deus Ex games, really. DX1 set up enough foreshadowing/lore about the ruined Los Angeles and the Northwest Seccesionist War that it deserved a couple of mini-campaigns dealing with those. Human Revolution has a cyberpunk future with gorgeous environments, and the only DLC we got was a mini-campaign on a boat and a small mission that was originally cut out in the first place.

FF7. Give me more sectors of Midgar to visit, a bigger world, more loot, anything!

I'll echo the calls for Blacklist. Not that the content that's there wasn't meaty enough, but it looked they could pop in extra DLC missions without a problem. Strange, considering how DLC-happy Ubi is with most of their products.

Vanquish. It was so wonderful, and over way too soon :(
 
Sonic Generations. It has the prefect set-up for DLC and was one of the most highly rated Sonic Games of all time. Meanwhile Sonic Boom got a sequel...
 
Nintendoland is the strangest game to not have DLC. All they have to do is make some extra levels for the multiplayer games and fans would buy them.

I don't know how many more times I can play the same 3 levels of Mario chase.
 
I really hoped Super Mario 3D World would get DLC, especially after Nintendo's rather excellent track record with it... oh well :(. Also, The Wolf Among Us.
 
None. Only if by DLC you mean what used to be called "expansions" in the olden days, and was created after the original game was complete.
 
Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Splinter Cell Blacklist. They created An excellent plug and play foundation for new missions and campaigns, but then there was just nothing. Such a great game that didn't get the support it deserved because it underperformed.

Really hope we see a new Splinter Cell soon, and that they didn't just shelve the series.



My man.
You guys!

Would have been perfect for DLC. I would have been happy for new Grim type missions that require complete stealth.
 
Final Fantasy XIII. Would have loved to have more to use my ultimate weapons on other than the super turtles and a few of the monster hunts. A few more Pulse areas perhaps? Oh well, I will never know.
 
Shadowrun (360)

Such a great game, with interesting maps. It really, really needed more. Too bad it got caught in the moronic crossfire of people hating on it because it was multiplayer-only and because it wasn't a RPG.

Extra painfull because it looks like it will be on BC.

<3 I love everyone who loved that game.
 
Sonic. Fucking. Generations.

"Let's take the best idea we've had a decade and completely blow it on one game when it could easily, logically, and without watering it down be at least a small series. Let's not even support it with post-launch DLC except a mini-game to prove to people that it was possible but we just don't want to.

Seriously.

I would have paid full price for three separate, full-quality games based on the three "eras" in Generations.

They could have done Generations: Genesis and not skipped CD.
Generations: Dreamcast and fleshed things out with some Game Gear games, or something.
Generation: Modern could have drawn from Sonic Advance and the Rush games, too.

It was basically just a giant missed opportunity masquerading as a game.

Me too. Shadowrun was one of the greatest multiplayer shooters ever.

PC: Mirror's Edge and Burnout Paradise

I was about to correct you but then I noticed the "PC" qualification. So weird that Big Surf Island never made it to PC. But that just makes it more important that the 360 version gets backwards compatibility on the Xbox One cos as it stands it's simply the best version of the game.


I know how much DLC Borderlands 2 had, but I could have happily bought more especially if it was like Assault on Dragon Keep. I actually would have been happy if Gearbox had decided to never release a sequel and just pump out DLC for BL2 forever. A season pass every year and new content every 2/3 months? I'd be in for that 100%. I never wanted that game to end!
 
South Park The stick of truth, i just hate that "DLC" option in the main menu... i mean they have some costumes but also they cut a lot of content from the final game.. we need a crab people story
 
Xenoblade.

Bionis Shoulder man. The Makna/Eryth transition is one of those jarring points in the game, and worse yet forces Fast Travel if you want to go between the two areas due to no actual entry/exit way between the two areas outside of scripted sequences.
 
Bayonetta 2 could have really used more challenge mode dlcs and extra characters/levels. It would be awesome to be able to play as the lumen sage or Loki.
 
Nintendo Land and MK8 battle mode are no-brainers. More courses for Wii Sports Club Golf would be a treat, too.

On the 3DS, I want another island for Pilotwings Resort. This could very well be the last 3D flight game on a handheld. Please give us a new island, Nintendo!
 
Sonic Generations
Vanquish
Binary Domain (in terms of the Yakuza Dead Soul skins that were never released outside of Japan)
Bayonetta 2
Resonance of Fate
 
None of course, it's a shitty trend. I could never know if it isn't just cut initial content. Put the ideas/content into a successor or another game instead.
 
Sonic. Fucking. Generations.

Gets me heated just reading this shit.

God damn it Sega
