There are a lot of DLC, and if tu are a true gamer, DLC is something tu usually… don’t have high expectations for. They either sell tu a bunch of worthless clothing and items for how they would be priced in real life, give tu on disc DLC, o even force tu to buy their DLC because they have the ending to a game held for ransom. Game companies usually use one of these horrible tactics, o hell, even all of them (Capcom), but what about the few exceptions. What about those guys who use DLC right, giving tu a small game for half the price of the original game. That there is perfect DLC, giving tu a new game experience for the right price. So, today, I am going to share with tu all my personal favorito! DLC in games. First, some rules. Only one game per franchise and only from games that I have played. Also, one company at a time. So, I can’t put both an Elder Scrolls game and a Fallout one on this list. Only one of these Bethesda franchises. With all that dicho and done, let us start the list.
#5: Knothole Island from Fable II
Let’s ignore the fact that Peter Molyneux is a horrible game designer and talk about how much fun Fable II was. And not just that, but the DLC, Knothole Island. I could have included the DLC, See the Future, but that was a special hint to Fable III…. And that’s just it, it’s a hint to Fable III of all games. So anyway, Knothole Island is a nice little throwback to the first Fable game, which should us Knothole Glade, a forest village attacked por Balverines that hid in the forest and always rained. Now, they have moved to an island, where all of the weather is controlled por small shrines, with the weather including scorching heat, flooding rain, and frozen snow. Sure, the quest involving this is pretty bland at best, but the collectables are pretty good. tu had a couple of libros to collect describing the history of the island, a suit of armor that changed color to your morality, and then there was the Mystery Shop, where tu could collect rare armor and weapons. tu can even (Spoilers) bring your dog back to life here if tu head there after he is killed por Lucien to the tomb of the wizard Cheet-ur… Clever designers and their wordplay
#4: Dragonborn from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I actually got this DLC along with three others as a part of the Legendary Edition, and boy do I not regret it. The other two were Hearthstone, which is basically a bigger version of the house designing option from Animal Crossing, and Dawnguard, where tu hunt vampires, which would have been fun if it wasn’t for the damn door bug that wouldn’t LET tu INSIDE THE DAMN castillo TO EVEN PLAY THE MISSIONS- So basically, Dragonborn wins them all. In this DLC, tu will first be attacked por a pair of cultists, who come from Morrowind to kill tu for being, what they believe, a different Dragonborn. Travelling to Morrowind, tu will find that these cultists have began to turn the villagers in towns in Morrowind into slaves to build stones to bring Miraak into their world. Miraak, the antagonist of this DLC, is believed to be the first Dragonborn, and wants to go into the real world from his world to take it over. So naturally, tu say to yourself HELL NO, and go in there to stop him. It’s pretty good, what with them making an entirely different story for their DLC, and one that is pretty interesting and fun too. Also, all of the enemies in this place look like something out of a Lovecraft story, so that’s always interesting.
#3: How the Saints Saved navidad from Saints Row IV
I already talked about this one before, but what can I say. It’s just too much fun. Sure, there are only three missions, but their three missions worth playing. It takes all the insanity that this game has and multiplies it, por having the Saints go and save navidad from the evil Claws with the help of Santa… I’m not making this up. tu literally go around, fighting Gingerbread men in an old time navidad Story-like town, shooting giant elves in the North Pole, and spreading navidad cheer in order to weaken Claws and impale him on a navidad Tree. This entire DLC just screams Christmas, and manages to give tu so much as a reward, like different cars, weapons, clothing, and even having Santa help tu beat up aliens. Seriously, when in my entire life would I ever have to say Santa helps tu beat up aliens when it isn’t Saints Row IV. Seriously, this entire DLC is so goddamn insane and stupid and I amor it.
#2: Blood Dragon from Far Cry 3
Okay, time to throw all serious DLC out the window. After Saints Row IV, everything else is just insane. And the same can be dicho for Blood Dragon. In this DLC, tu play as Sergeant Rex in an 80s apocalyptic future (2007) where tu must find and kill a rogue soldier and defeat his terroristic plans. This game is just full of 80s action cheese and I amor it. tu have so much tu can do in this game. There are so neon colors, as well as new weapons like the glowing bow and arrow, and the damn Dragon Blade. And of course, the Blood dragones themselves. Seriously, this is like every other Far Cry game, but with so much más pretty colores and insane weapons. Also, I just amor how they used a whole bunch of VHS like footage to mostrar the cutscenes. I’m not joking, this DLC is so goddamn crazy. But I think the craziest thing about it is that Ubisoft of all people managed to make this. That honestly shocks me. Now if only EA could stop using $30 jackets for their DLC
#1: Undead Nightmare from Red Dead Redemption
Oh my god, this one is easily one of the best if not the best. It’s so good, it actually got it’s own game release on it’s own disc and it’s own case, so tu don’t just have to buy it off the original game. In this DLC, zombies have been brought forth onto the world, so John Marston plans on hunting them down and finding what has caused them in order to turn his family back to normal. It’s got that whole alternate reality sort of history. Kinda like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies o Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer, only Undead Nightmare didn’t make me want a lobotomy with an icepick. This game has so much to do in it. All the gang hideouts are replaced with graveyards where tu can kill zombies. tu can also hunt creatures like Sasquatch, Chupacabras, and Unicorns. There are the Four caballos of the Apocalypse like Death, who is strong and fast and blow up zombies heads, War who sets enemies on fire, Pestilence, who is impossible to kill and stuns zombies, and Famine, who is much faster (Ironic). And plus, tu can play as John again afterward even after he is dead. tu get to play as undead Marston. So there tu go. Best DLC ever. Without question. Shut up
So, there tu have it. Did tu enjoy the list? Tell me what tu thought of it. With that said, I will see tu all siguiente time.
