10 Expansions That Are Better Than The Main Game

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.

Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!

[PhillyDillyDee]

Bethesda usually does great DLC. Makes sense they are on the list 3 times.

Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.

Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.

[SullysCigar]

I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.

Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.

[Silly Mammo]

I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.

[anast]

It's the best DLC in the genre. You are missing out.

[SarwarRon]

I double that. If you've liked Bloodborne, don't miss out The Old Hunters.

[MadLad]

I skipped on Demons Souls remake, but Bloodborne would be day one. I love the game, but it is very, very jaggy and really needs a 60fps edition.

[anast]

I didn't like Blood and Wine too much, but the grandmaster gear is worth it.

[GamingSinceForever]

Blood & Wine absolutely.

[Rocosaurus]

Would love for witcher 3 to get a next gen upgrade.

In case you don't know, it's coming later this year.

[Rocosaurus]

Great

[MadLad]

While not an expansion, but a standalone mod for Skyrim, Enderal is a freaking amazing RPG from start to finish.
One of the best I've played, in all honesty. Sad that there's such a small limit to mod storage allowed for Skyrim on consoles.
The game definitely deserves to be played by as many people as possible.

[anast]

What would I need to run it on a PC at high settings?

[MadLad]

You'd need a PC that can run Skyrim at around high settings, yeah. The mod is a little more intensive than the base game, but not by a huge margin.
Originally you needed the original release version of the game for the mod, but I believe they ported it over to the updated engine had with Skyrim Anniversary.

GTA TLAD

Outlast: Whistleblower

Great game with a slightly improved expansion.

[SonyStyled]

Didn’t read the article and my favorite DLCs aren’t necessarily better than the main game, but a solid addition. My favorite DLC memories are

-Bioshock Challenge Rooms
-Killzone 2 Map Packs
-LBP1 Pirates of the Caribbean
-LBP2 Marvel
-UC2

So basically 5/10 times I’ve purchased DLC right there. I’m probably missing a favorite, but I’ve never been a big digital gamer so I have a small list of pickings

Edit: Assassins creed 2

[KillBill]

'Xcom 2: War of The Chosen' caused undo crashing for many players last generation and was never really resolved. So I for sure can't give it a mention in this list.
