Push Square: "Trading the open air of Columbia for the giant aquarium that is Rapture, Irrational Games’ first helping of story-based BioShock Infinite DLC deployed this week. But does Burial at Sea - Episode One improve upon the studio's slightly disappointing arena-based expansion, or is it dead in the water too?"
Examples of DLCs that are NOT cynical cash-grabs are few and far between. These rare gems can significantly expand upon and improve the base game. GameLuster's Nirav Gandhi highlights the top ten DLCs of all time. Publishers take note - these are DLCs done right.
My favorite DLC list would be:
10) Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
9) Assassin's Creed IV: Freedom Cry
8) Destiny: The Taken King
7) Fallout 4: Far Harbor
6) Fallout New Vegas: Lonesome Road
5) The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard
4) The Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles
3) The Last of Us: Left Behind
2) Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
1) The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
Honorable) Mass Effect 3: Citadel, The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone, FarCry 3: Blood Dragon, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
Also) Fallout 76: Wastelanders (Actually brings some sense to the game) (Should be a standalone offline title)
Actually I missed out :-
GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Infamous First Light
Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
Replies(1)Where’s Big surf island from Burnout Paradise? And all the extras.
GTA4’s dlc was one of the best ever
Undead nightmare was brilliant My 3 favourites off top of my head great value and great content
Big Surf Island hadn't even crossed my mind!
I know there are plenty of good examples of how to do good DLC (and that Burnout Paradise isn't the most popular in the series amongst fans), but I remember being blown away by the way that Criterion supported Burnout Paradise. The game grew so much since its original release.
Yeah majority for free as well the island would have been free from what I heard but EA wanted to charge luckily wasn’t too expensive and got time money’s worth. Really enjoyed that game and all the content. A Delorean is always gonna be a winner for me 😂✌🏻
Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 DLC was great, Horizon: Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds DLC was good.
Yes, the Old Hunters was fantastic - incredible how much they managed to expand the lore of the game, while creating a short, yet incredibly rich, genuine Bloodborne experience. In a way, it's a shame it didn't receive more DLC, but to have such a successful game and follow-up DLC is so rare that we probably shouldn't complain!
With the amount of fans bloodborne has, I am very surprise they haven’t made a sequel or more DLC. I’m hoping for a sequel for the PS5.
If Sony let’s this franchise die then it will be a major loss to me.
Pwnmaster,
It's not up to Sony entirely, is it? From Software is busy with Elden Ring so I wouldn't hold my breath for BB 2 anytime soon.
@Ultra
I could of sworn Sony own the IP.
Was thinking they can push it or something
The franchise is showing no sign of dying yet - they keep bringing out more and more merchandise for it all the time!
Gavin Goulden, lead character artist in Insomniac Games, told Sector.sk more about creating characters in Marvel's Spider-Man, Sunset Overdrive, and Bioshock Infinite.
Just some of the scenes that stand out from 2K's celebrated shooter series.
I can't really pick a scene to be honest. But a couple are when the glass breaks on the bio shock, first time a walk way floats into line or maybe even the first time you see a little sister sticking a corpse with a needle. To be honest though I love them all and look forward to a remaster PLEASE!!
