Expansion is a bigger type of addon content, DLC is any addon content delivered digitally. Yes, all expansions are DLCs too now.

Horse armor.

Unlike Rocksteady, WB Montreal actually tries with their DLC. They made the longest Arkham Knight DLC too.
>>
$9.99 costumes with $29.99 costume season pass
>>
Fallout style DLC where they function independently from the main game and involve a full campaign/quest arc.

If you're being sold a chunk of the main story, it should have been included in the main game.

Fact Arkane learned so much from the base game and applied it to DLC gives me hope for the sequel.

Yeah, but unlike WB Montreal, rocksteady has made a good Batman game.

>>322148282
I'm okay with those mostly because I likely won't care and never buy them.

I'm conflicted because I don't like DLC that feels detached from the main game -- and at the same time it feels wrong if it's part of it and was cut out.

But well, when it comes to open world games it's made up of side-quests anyway.. so it's not really the same deal

Origins suffered from bugs and more of the same, but really only fault I can find with that game were underwhelming and poorly used bosses. Shit even that MP was interesting when you could actually find people who wouldn't bail out because they didn't get to play a heroes/villains.

Shivering Isles
Undead Nightmare
Daud
Ballad of Gay Tony
Heroic Map Pack

Mario Kart 8.
Smash 4 in concept, but most of the characters they added unfortunately weren't great.

This 100%, not even being ironic. I just wish I had started grabbing Smash amiibos as they were released.

I don't mind DLC if it's released AFTER the game was successful and fun. Unlike rainbow6 seige selling skins and dlc season passes before they can get their fucking matchmaking servers to work.

>>322148881
Being better the infinite is hardly an challenge. The dlc still non sense shit

General Knoxx

Rocket League

All game play related DLC is free
Cosmetics are paid, and pretty cheap

From software dlc is arguably the best part of their games, even if they are a bit pricey.
Eventually you'll get a game plus dlc pack tho

That's not DLC. That was back when you went to stores to buy discs.

>>322149173
Amiibos are objectively done wrong, are you serious? You know you fucked up when there are limited "copies" of your "DLC." The concept is create, the execution is trash. The only game worth even using them for is smash.

Payday 2: Paradise Lost

>new content for a game that's 12 years old
>it's good
>>
>God tier
DLC that add a new campaign or similar mode whose rewards carry over to the main game, while also seamlessly expanding the existing game. Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma and similar DLC is a good example. These were called expansions back in the day. They are endlessly replayable as you can enjoy the content on any playthrough

>High tier
DLC that adds new features to a game but doesn't come with new campaigns. FTL's DLC, while free, is a good example

>Mid tier
Weapon and costume packs that aren't cut content and are reasonably priced

>Low tier
Short, mediocre campaigns, often featuring a new protagonist, that are completely disconnected from the main game

>Shit tier
Costume/weapons/characters blatantly cut from the game/freezed late into development to ensure they could sell it to you for extra at release.

Mario Kart 8. For a relatively low price, considering how Nintendo first-party products don't go down in price, it increased the number of tracks in the game by 50%.

Hearts of Stone for TW3. It's not enough content to fully qualify as an expansion for me but it was a great fix to some of the issues in the base game, and had a better paced story with memorable characters

Mario Kart 8. Without DLC stages, you already have the standard number of stages every Mario Kart game has.

A+ idea and execution became acceptable after huge waves of understocks, but many amiibo do fucking nothing out of smash.
