"For such a fun holiday, video games have a lot of trouble doing Halloween justice. Sure there are exceptions—Destiny just did a pretty good job, and Costume Quest is fun—but for the most part it’s a time of year that games struggle to really celebrate. Unless, like right now, we’re talking about Undead Nightmare, the most Halloween video game experience of them all."
Undead are the peace makers.
Seriously, like even to the point of criticizing a game for being complete out the box and not dropping microtransactions on a storefront every month. Outlets were really out here mad that Hogwarts Legacy was finished and didn't need any battle pass, or "seasons" of DLC. So brainwashed they don't even know how to handle a game with an actual ending.
The first time I felt like a game got DLC right was Borderlands 1. $10 for hours of content.
I paid $5 for Sleeping dogs DLC that added an entire campaign, new fighting styles and weapons, and basically turned the whole City into a zombie survival thing. Then another $5 for a full kickass tournament parading game of death which added an island, and lots of new fighting styles
Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 & 3, Borderlands 1 & 2, GTA IV - those are my gold standards of DLC.

Something they couldn’t even give us in GTAV or RDR2
I honestly thought we’d get some Alien type of DLC for one of them at least
GF365: "Here are the best zombie games for Xbox One. Many of these post-apocalyptic zombie games are also available on other platforms. Plus, you can play any of these games on Xbox Series X and S via backward compatibility."
The Undead Nightmare expansion for the original Red Dead Redemption was a massive success, and Rockstar should take this formula to a standalone game.
They already have; this expansion is their zombie game. No need to create a new IP just for this.
The author clear doesn’t understand the essence of what made the dlc so good… it wasn’t zombies and it definitely wasn’t a dedicated IP to zombies.
It was the sheer ambience and un seen mixing of a game with elements that were non existent in said game’s theme. It was a perfect fantasy mash up that changed the game in unbelievably awesome ways.
DLC done right.
I play it every October. I'm also playing Costume Quest 1/2, the new Fatal Frame, and the Halloween Night level on Bully.
Undead Nightmare is still the best DLC/expansion for a game yet.
I want to see something similar with a steam punk theme for AC Syndicate.
I've had this game sitting in my library for 2 yrs and i never bothered to play it cause some other game comes along and pulls my attention away long enough to the point i forget i have it...i guess i should check it out...but why do people play it with n Halloween, does it have Halloween themes in it??
The Undead Nightmare is my favorite DLC of all time for sure. It's one of those DLC's that can be re-played over and over and sometimes I go back to it just to kill off zombies and just roam around the world once again.
Also, I remember having a ton of fun playing online too, should probably get some friends to play it tonight or tomorrow. Great times!
