Mike: "Also, for some reason, there are dinosaurs in there."
The reason is HOT WHEELS.
Gives me stunt track challenge for the PS2 vibes I like that
I guess he doesn't know the deep Hot wheels lore.
@@dylansheaves4743 yup. 👍🏾
@@VendreadMike95 Pfft. Mike probably doesn't even know how to use the three seashells on the dashboard.
This guys never hopped on their website and gotten to play a flash game where you play as a dinosaur
Maybe the funniest part of Blood and Wine was dealing with the bank. The blasé dialogue and unexpected normalcy of the quest's events not only made me feel introspective and think about how I can be a hero in my everyday life, but also how much banks make me want to shove my feet into my mouth and stand up.
The bank quest was a reference from Asterix and Obelix and the Romans, one of my childhood movies
Never let horse armor be forgotten fellow gamers.
Agree to Disagree to Agree.
Best DLC Ever
@@adamdawood7311 agree to bait
@Vasanthakumar Thiruvelan Obviously because I can read the future and stuff
Fun fact Bethesda did it again! But at least it's part of the anniversary edition upgrade so you get all creation club for either 20 dollars or free depending on what your playing on and if you own special edition or not
Gotta love the "We spared no expense" quip for the Hotwheels DLC, little nod to Jurassic Park for those old enough to remember it.
"little nod to Jurassic Park for those old enough to remember i"
You don't have to have been around to see something when it was new to have seen it ever
Jurassic Park is still such a cinema masterpiece every generation should know how great it is.
I'd say Borderlands 2's "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon keep" is an honorable mention
Everything from the storytelling, the legendary loot you get, the humor and everything about it was just perfect.
Don't forget the story itself. Its tina's way to cope with the death of that comando guy. (Forgot his name)
Cherry Dragon that dlc caused me to actually like tiny Tina
@@cherrydragon3120 Roland
Honorable Mention? TTADK is the best DLC ever. Had it been released as Borderlands 2.5, no one would have batted an eye.
BUT WHAT IF THE SWORD YOU SHOOT EXPLODES?
'Kay!
THIS. I was shocked it didn't make the list.
Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches DLCs for Dishonored. A touching story, memorable missions and an excellent protagonist, Daud the Master Assassin.
I was just about to say that.
Really enjoyed them
Brigmore Witches..... you mean the Bring more Bitches dlc
Lovasi Péter excellent dlc!
Been playing through the games the past couple weeks and they are AMAZING
The Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim is a work of art in my opinion. The return to a location from Morrowind and the addition of a never-before-seen realm of Oblivion, Apocrypha, incredible attention to detail on the geology and geomorphology of Solstheim...so good. I love Dragonborn.
I would 110% agree with ya if they had also included bear-lycanthropy, included a quest referencing the Snow Prince, and provided some sort of explanation about how the Udyrfrykte got to Solstheim (TES3: Morrowind) and then Skyrim (TES5: Skyrim), since it's mother is in Cyrodiil (TES4: Oblivion).
As it is, just one of the above would have warranted simple agreement, but all 3 would've been glorious.
Skyrim is my favorite game of all-time, right behind Red Dead II. Skyrim introduced me to open-world RPG's, and I've been a long time fan of the game for around 6 or 7 years now, though it feels longer. I remember when I found out about the game having dlc around a year into playing the game. I bought the legendary edition on 360 and I loved all 3 dlc's. Dawnguard was my personal favorite at the time, but I'll say that Dragonborn holds up the best, and is my favorite now.
I preferred Dawnguard myself. Sure, it didn't have a new world space to explore, but what it did to the world in many little ways made it absolutely worth picking up, and became something I would make a point to go through on every subsequent playthrough. Dragonborn, on the other hand, I only ever wanted to play once because of how tedious Apocrypha became. Reminded me of the Fade sequence in Dragon Age Origins.
@@sincodemayo Dawnguard was pretty darn good.
edit: Fixed a typo.
edit 2: Coming back to this, both Apocrypha and Soul Cairn can feel really tedious on sequel playthroughs. Just throwing that out there - both Dragonborn and Dawnguard are awesome; Apocrypha and Soul Cairn are absolutely rad, but they can be a bit dull sometimes.
@@khajiitimanus7432 yeah they both are pretty dull on repeat play through’s but the soul cairn does have saint Juib
The Shivering Isles is one of the best things I've played because it uses your habits as a player to build a narrative. Before you enter, the guard warns you that everyone who comes back out is affected, but it's easy to go "pshaw, yeah, sure buddy". But when, a few hours in, I caught myself thinking "well, clearly the only logical solution is to murder this entire village of people who have done nothing to me", I realised that I had been accidentally roleplaying someone pretty unstable for a while...
"For some reason, there's dinosaurs"
My hot wheels tracks were always attacked by dinosaurs. I would have complained if they weren't there.
A t-rex, shark, something! Damb us old folk and our litteral toys! My Leonardo action figure fought my ps2 game shark, had it been a Street Shark it might have stood a chance.
There was the whole set WITH the T-Rex!! That was my favorite one 🦖🦖🦖
I always liked the battery operated supercharger that made epic crashes track setts. Put 4 super chargers together and assuming the car didnt fly off before the last one that is a mf weapon!
A normal T-Rex? (looks at G1 Grimlock toy I had) Heh heh...that's cute...
I’m sorry your oversized chicken wrecked your hot wheels tracks.
"I could just tear out your intestines."
"But you won't, right?"
*Long awkward pause*
Me: *Concerned then looks at phone* Oh, it was just buffering an ad...
Same
i got an ad with police sirens, which had better comedic timing than i could ever have
@@puppetfox8876 That moment when the FBI releases ads for when they want you to open up.
I wanna be friends with whoever the hell wrote the story for Shivering Isles. Dude seems legit.
I'd hate to disappoint but I'm sure that person is either sober or dead by now.
CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!
🤣
Why it was written by Sheogorath itself!
@@Veladus This... this... I don't know how to properly describe the glorious joke that is this comment.
The Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition was incredible inside and out
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. Showing who Solas was and basically creating a threat bigger than anything we’ve seen, showing us more of the lore and teasing the next game? Ahh I’m so excited for the next game.
The game itself set the bar so low, that it's not much of a bragging point. And setting the true ending behind a paywall, is pretty scummy
Rolf family many games have done it before. At least you don’t need to pay to win the game and the DLC right?
The thing is...it wasnt' better than the original game. then again, neither was blood and wine, so i retract...WHY ISN"T TRESPASSER ON HERE!!!
Okay so I have a vendetta against DA's DLC post Origins' DLC.
I went full in on Origins' DLC and enjoyed the hell out of it, but I did not play DA2's DLC a) because I think Sebastien is an ass b) I hate Orlais and c) I felt like the story was perfect the way it was and I couldn't care less about Hawke's family drama because the base game had so much of it.
Witch Hunt, DA2 Legacy, Asunder, and the Masked Empire are very necessary parts for understanding Inquisition and two of those are literally books. DLC is supposed to add to the story not bury the lead. If your DLC is important enough to be a major plot point for the next part of the story then it shouldn't be optional content.
Trespasser is just the end of the Inquisition's story stuck behind a pay wall.
Leliana's Song, Warden's Keep, Algamark, Darkspawn chronicles, Awakenings, DA2's Orlais excursion, Descent, and the Ameridan story's DLC were actually additional content as were Shale and Sebastien's added storylines. They weren't required to finish the storyline in the base game or understand the next part of the series unlike Legacy and Trespasser and even Witch Hunt.
Putting out unfinished games aint cute, so Tresspasser is not worthy of the "better than the base game" accolade in comparison to expansions like the Witcher's.
Let's hold Bioware to a higher standard than what they've been doing in the last coupla years.
No mention of Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep? As a D&D nerd, that had me in stitches... Then in tears. Shut up, you're crying!
never played it, but i hope they make a Bunkers and Badasses vol.2 for Borderlands 3
Now that you mention Borderlands, all the borderlands 3 dlcs are so damn better than the main game story wise. It's like they were written by 2 different writing teams.
or gat out of hell from saints row
Spyros Georgiou someone said it even the side missions had a better story than the main game
Nuka World
Forza Horizon 3 has spoilers but I'm not sure they're THAT kind of spoiler...
Of course, the Forza spoilers look terrible.
They're the best kind of spoiler
They spoil something worse than the story...
They spoil the aerodynamics 😨😨😨
idk, 90% of the time the spoiler tag is totally unnesessary but people get so weird and butthurt about even the most vague things sometimes, like a minor detail will ruin their experience, let alone that people cant openly discuss a game years later just because 3 people might not have played it
so i think they do it just to avoid angry people mad they mentioned a small plot point of a 10 year old game haha
Lololololololol
The Original Alien film is one of my favorite horrors movies of all time, the way that Last Survivor and Crew Expandable brought it into a video game format just shows how dedicated the creators truly were.
Giant mechanical dinosaur! Spare no expense!
Somewhere John Hammond is proud
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was the best DLC i've ever experienced. Humour, references and randomness that made it a wtf campain
The ending was what made it one of the best especially with Tina in denial with Roland's death
First thing I did was check the spoiler list for this thank you sir
I was about to comment TTAODK but u beat me to it. Forever a classic
mmhhmm it was crappy they made Tina grown up and less psychotic in borderlands 3. If they kept what she was known for and not dial her down, the campaign would of been better. I also think they removed her messed up eye
Jacob Hammer it’s a dlc far underrated and never talked about
Fallout 4's Far Harbor. In terms of story, quests, and consequences, it was what the main game should have been.
Also I liked the untamed wilderness of Maine more than the Commonwealth, which seemed to be a little too much stuck in the past. But that's just personal taste.
God I love Fah Habbah.
For me, the best thing about Far Harbor was the music.
They love doing that! Forcing you to buy the game because the DLC is where they hid the stuff that was too big to be included in the main game but too small to make a game of its own.
Far Harbor too me shows that Bethesda's Fallout team is too ambitious for their own good. They are really really good at building "small" dense worlds and filling them with story, but lost the plot whenever they increase in scope (both in literal size and in length. The best quests in 4's basegame were mostly short sidequests, and the longest quest aka the main quest sucked ass)
It’s not really hard to be better than Fallout 4’s main quest.
"So fantastically challenging you could end up stuck on this fight for weeks..." *laughs in six months of pain spent just so I could be an eldritch broccoli man*
*laughs with the pain of Still not having beaten Orphan OR Laurence after having gotten the platinum over a year ago*
@@calamari_genie I feel ya, man. Best of luck, you just gotta keep smashing your head into the wall until it works.
It must have been a legendary reaction when you finally made it
@@melchaios I would've gotten three seperate noise complaints if it hadn't been midday. I bet they could hear me from the gas station down the road.
I love not understanding this reference that sounds wild
I really loved both The Lair Of The Shadow Broker for ME2 and Citadel DLC for ME3
ah, good to see Bloodborne on a list, it's been a while. masterpiece of a game
What about Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues ? Three words: conscious psychopathic toaster.
And hand and feet penises...
Good story, crap game mechanics.
Muggy remains one of my favorite Fallout characters in the series.
"Ba-ba-bloop!"
Scrolled down to make the exact same comment, fantastic dlc
I'm surprised Prey's Mooncrash DLC isn't on this list. It took the mechanics from the main game and added it to a really unique premise and gameplay structure. Definitely one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had.
I loved Prey but never played Mooncrash. I really need to get on that, don't I?
For sure. I was really surprised at how good it was
Old Hunters was truly a masterpiece of storytelling, gameplay, and atmosphere
and WAPONS
Curse the fiends, their children too. And their children, forever, true.
Get a room!
@@sunbroastora9973 mmm pizza
I love old hunters. Amazinggg
_Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon._
Now I can’t say that it was better than the Far Cry 3, but Blood Dragon alongside Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragon Keep are some of the greatest DLC ever made
I was thinking the same! And exceptional OST!
No, definitely better than Far Cry 3.
@TheAkrillion just wish it was longer
Blood Dragon is *technically* not DLC, but yes, it's amazing!
Is a seperate game tho, not DLC. Like Episodes from Liberty City and GTA 4
I'm surprised Outlast Whistleblower wasn't on this list.
I feel like the DLC becomes better than the actual game because it's so awesome to see the story through another perspective, plus the antagonists are so remarkable.
Yeah same here but I believe this was on another list
YES! It was better than the base game AND better than the sequel!
@@WraythSkitzofrenik Honestly it doesn't take much to get better than the sequel
Horizon Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds DLC is another awesome DLC. I loved playing it arguably more than the already amazing base game.
This!!
"A big daddy who lacked any discernible personality"? Wait that means Jack had a personality?
Had the exact same thought myself.
I would like a mention of borderlands DLC. Namely the pre-sequel where you have an inside look at cl4ptrp's head.... even as himself.
This is the one I was looking for. The Claptastic Voyage is so incredibly underappreciated just because it's DLC for a badly received game
The new Psycho Krieg DLC for Borderlands 3 is pretty good
@@isaiahdalton9578 yeah but it pretty much retconned borderlands lore by saying psychos were made by hyperion nerve gas instead of tannis's explanation in BL2 that Dahl and Atlas brought over convicts to work on the mining and abandoned them and several staff members, to which Pandora's chaotic atmosphere gradually broke them down psychologically so they could better survive in their new harsh environment
Can we take a moment to appreciate how truly horrifying the Oblivion faces are.
They be lookin like a gnarled peeled potato
@@mr.intruder1536 Nah, more like creepy possessed dolls that were turned to rubber and then stretched over the reanimated skeleton of someone long dead.
Ugly fish. Very ugly fish.
I actually liked Bioshock 2 more than 1. The story was interesting, the characters and villains were just as cool as the original, the combat was actually a little better imo, the callbacks to Bioshock 1 were well implemented, and yes, the Dlc was great. And as for Delta having no personality, what exactly did Jack have?
Yeah I'm not sure why they were shitting on Bioshock 2. Both 1 & 2 were classic games. If anything, they shouldve used the DLC from Infinite which helped correct that dumpster fire of a game.
Exactly, I was actually searching the comments for anyone like me trying to defend Bioshock 2. IMO Bioshock 2 was the best Bioshock and infinite was the worst. Plus the music did what it was supposed to do, make me sad.
Jack had a cool jumper on
Agreed with EVERY point lmao, I loved being able to jump at people with the drill just like Bouncers could in BioShock 1, the new weapons were great overall, the story was just as mind-bending as I expected, having played BioShock Infinite and Bioshock 1 before, and I really liked the new "Mini-game" (if you can call it that) with getting ADAM, I got weirdly protective of little sisters in that game lol
First game has better story. And the reason why many people prefer the first game is because experiencing Rapture for first time is something out of this world. In Bioshock 2 you know you have already been there in first game - it's just not the same
Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Borderlands. I already loved Borderlands, but watching the brain pop out when you get a head shot was immensely satisfying. Plus it's probably the best video game zombie experience I've had since playing CODWOW Nazi zombie with my friends back in high school.
Shocked to not see Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC, frankly.
Probably be in follow up video 😁
Next time
right?? they showed from ashes in the intro and my first thought was "what? not citadel??" and then neither were on the actual list lol
Citadel was great, but personally I thought the Omega DLC was the best. It fun to play on a scale I could really wrap my head around and felt more like a real mission overall.
They sorta did this in a different list.
Prey: Mooncrash. Seriously, they managed to switch the genre and still keep the essence intact, while improving on pretty much every single aspect.
I can barely remember any plot points or hell even any highlights from Bioshock 2 and 3 but I can remember just about the entire story line of Bioshock. It's by far the best in the series, just amazing story telling and world building.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention Dishonored 1's DLC! Not only was there enough of it to basically be it's own game, it also added new powers that were soooo much cooler than the original game's powers (which were already pretty awesome.)
God damn did that Witcher 3 B&W ending screen there make me tear up.
ye literally goosebumps all over me ngl. I'm going to re-play witcher 3 now LOL
The main story did far more in making me cry. The Witcher ending. Soo good.
I like Hearts of Stone more, but yeah, I know what you mean
sure do wish i could play it... stupid fuckin witcher sense glitch....
Fable: the lost chapters... I’m not sure if it’s dlc but if it is it deserves a spot, you get to fight a dragon jack of blades
Its not a dlc
Spoilers
Fable 3 i ate all of the dlc's. I wasnt the queen, i was the realitor and rentacenter.
It could be DLC, an expansion pack, or the definitive edition for the game.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Technically its a "Director's Cut" version.
The Aniversary Remaster would be the Definitive edition.
I have two DLCS I've loved more than the main games:
Splatoon2's octo expansion was a wonderful exploration of puzzle shooter gameplay, full of more lore to the Splatoon universe, and dripping with more of that aesthetic we all love.
Oblivion's Shivering isles. I just... It was so beautiful. That whole thing was so so good. I just wish the museum of oddities was bigger, That was a fun side quest. SO glad you included it in the video.
Edit: Fixed some typos.
Omg, yes, Shivering Isles has got to be one of the best dlcs ever! Absolutely loved it and would love to visit it in ESO some day. Just imagine it with updated graphics... 😍
Ah, another ESO player. Cheers! I also would love to see the Shivering Isles in the graphics engine of ESO. :D
I really loved Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC. Getting to explore Morrowind and obtaining the ability to control dragons, and then fly on them, was endlessly incredible to do. Plus the new armours were really cool to use
I bought the remaster with Dragonborn, Hearthfire and the vamp one all in - I got halfway on the Dragonborn dlc when the whole unable to harvest dragon souls angle kicked in and... well, I've wanted to play the other parts of the game, but afraid that effect would follow me away from the island and not wanting to force my way through the story (rather than try to appreciate it) to get that one thing back I haven't picked it up since.
That was about a year ago.
Yes thank you for the morrowind love! Just dont have any glass armour or weapons, i literally kill for those. lol
I liked dawnguard more, on one hand, yes it was smaller than dragonborn but the added perks to vamp+werewolves, the new characters, the armors and locations were for me really awesome. Plus tbh i did dragonborn in about 3-4h while dawnguard took me like 10 at the time
“Werewolf Pepperoni” is the name of my new band!
Would definitely listen.
When's the first tour?
iHeart Radio, baby!this weekend!
(unless we get cut...)
Blood and Wine was great, but I liked Heart of Stone sooo much more. Gaunter O'Dimm was such an amazing antagonist
ikr the story was short but way more intense
I completely disagree. It felt like you were fighting god. You felt so underpowered and the only way to deal with him was to play his game and hope to god you win. With Blood and wine you felt like that was a proper Witcher quest, not some weird shark-jumpy fight with a deity.
Borderlands 2 had some amazing DLC such as Torgue's Badass Crater of Badassitude and Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Commenter Edition: The Citadel DLC from Mass Effect 3. All of the inside jokes. Just...so many. And Grunt.
I was going to say this, if we are talking about DLCs that was better than the main game, then Citadel has to be up there. It's regarded as THE ending for a lot of fans.
Grand Theft Grunt XD
i always bail him out he's shepards son technically
Drunk Grunt sitting in a cold shower after the party is one of the funniest things I saw back then. Hell it still is.
Better than the main game, I'd say would need to be a game in and of itself. Citadel is just fan service. Thought they gave Bloodborne dlc a spot for a similar reason. It's not better, it's just fan service, but at least that one has real gameplay.
I really hope the mass effect trilogy remaster is a thing and drops soon
Honestly I would say that the Daud DLC’s for Dishonored could have been it’s own game.
Daud’s improves version of Blink, for example, was phenomenal.
Which is why they gave it to corvo as an upgrade in the sequel. Once you experience time stop blink there is no going back.
Distophic yeah, I was so happy when I saw that!
Fallout New Vegas's Dead Money DLC was one of the best dlc's i've ever played. its something that forces you to rethink a lot and replay a lot to get the ending that actually satisfies you
plus it was like doing bioshock in fallout where you can leverage the bonkers fallout stat system
the fallout New Vegas DLCs in general were unique in that they all built off of each other, and had crossovers between them as well as an effect on your main game eventually
I thought I was the only one that liked Dead Money the most. My personal favorite Fallout DLC of all time. All the others are still very good , but I just love crawling through the streets of the Villa outside the Sierra Madre.
And the holorifle is the best weapon created in the fallout universe.
Also love Dead Money. Definitely my favorite.
I've always thought that Haskill is so snooty cause 1. He is actually JuggyBoi's butler, made to represent the 'shadow' in Sheogoraths mind. 2. There was a old forum where a member of the team answered questions as Haskill and mentioned he had 'mantled' the role of Sheogorath. This is basically what we do at the end of the DLC. Maybe Haskill is the /old/ sheogorath, cast out from his godhood by Jug, stripped of all emotion and forced to serve after his chosen champion is slain. His jabs and jokes are the only form of humor he can now physically perform due to the 'curse' or whatever placed on him after his defeat.
ah Blood and Wine, definitely one of the best gaming experiences I've had
That dlc is my absolute favorite. Every new playthrough, the moment I was a high enough level, I'd head to Toussaint and forget about the main story. Regis and all the new stuff added were a huge reason why.
@@citanskid3238 When the horse got an insanely deep voice, that was hilarious.
@@ThePreciseClimber Isn't Roach also a female? Made it that much funnier lol
Artorias of the abyss DLC for giving another reason to cry for Sif, sadness for Manus and the Gwyn’s generals gang.
I cried my way to completion form the feels and deaths by falling.
Not to mention letting us get to meet the 3 other knights of Gwyn. Since in the base game the only one get to see is just ornstein
The Dark Souls DLC is great, but it's not better than the entire rest of the game. Definitely not in the first game, where the base game is just chock-full of iconic masterpiece moments.
@@johncameron1935 dark souls 3 dlc is great just finished it all
@@sud6646 Is it better than the base game?
How could you forget about Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’s Claptastic Voyage?
Shout out to Dying Light's The Following. The story in that dlc was hard-hitting and added cars that didn't overshadow the parkour that was already in the game.
Except the ending was terrible no matter which one you picked.
At risk of being exiled, I’d like to humbly suggest AC Black Flag: Freedom Cry. More under appreciated than better, but Adéwalé is so awesome.
Deserved to be more than a DLC
iwantsalmon an entire game playing as Adéwalé and freeing slaves instead of just robbing the plantations? Sign me up!
Seriously speaking, an amazing use of AC’s historical setting. That penultimate mission is so haunting.
Meg AC4 was the superior game
Assassins Creed Revelations DLC was amazing too!
...
Lol jk I'd rather kill myself.
haha especially since he kind of pisses you off in the base game constantly calling out edward
sadly hes also a dick in the era of douchebag assassins in rogue when the templar of that era is the hero and the assassins are shortsighted misguided dicks, turns out your mentor in 3 achilles was wiping out cities and by that time just being a bitter old man when he told connor not to work with haytham haha
Great topic! All too often, we hear how sequels and DLC pale in comparison to the original content so this take is refreshing indeed!
Don’t forget Arkham Knight: Season of Infamy!
I love season of infamy so much
A Matter of Family is also super good.
@@clur136 i keep forgetting that was arkham knight dlc, but i love all the character dlc. matter of family is most fleshed out but i really enjoy red hoods and harley quinns
Yeeeeeeeees!!!
Mhw: Iceborne outdone it's vanilla version too, in terms of..... everything.
Indeed.
I feel Monster Hunter World is one of those games that will forever go without a single mention in any "Best DLC," video.
And the funny thing is, its objectively one of the best DLC's of all time.
@@lilfuzzballa I think one of the main problems is people don’t often think of Monster Hunter as a game that has DLC. When Iceborne came out, it felt like the Monster Hunter Generations X style upgrade as opposed to an expansion.
@@Evanz111 From a veterans perspective, maybe. But I doubt many veterans view MHW in that way. Unlike Ultimate versions on the handhelds, they were sold as standalone games, while Iceborne was an obvious add-on that you payed separately for. Everyone I've heard calls it an expansion, even Capcom called it a "MASSIVE EXPANSION" thousands of times to really hammer it in everyone's mind. So I dont think people are struggling to see it as DLC, when it clearly is one.
I feel its more about the popularity and mainstream exposure a game has. The average gamer knows what Borderlands is and gets excited for new stuff coming from Gearbox. The average gamer knows what Elder scrolls and Fallout is and lose their minds over anything Bethesda releases. Thus any DLC they release automatically becomes the biggest deal tot he entire internet, whether its good or bad.
Capcom on the other hand fell off hard in the 2010's. They fell off of peoples radar and became overshadowed by more popular AAA devs. Then combine that with fact that Monster Hunter has spent most of its life on niche handheld systems, and slowly and quietly gained a fanbase over the years. It wasn't until MHW, that it finally got some kind of mainstream attention. But MHW alone still isn't enough to put it on the same pedestal as Borderlands, read dead, and others. It needs to cover a lot more ground in the mainstream console space before it can even be considered as a contender by journalists and gaming media.
My main point I'm trying to say, is that a lot of what dictates "the best DLC", usually requires a game and developer to already have established a ton of mainstream appeal and popularity. If MHW had Borderlands level of popularity, it would definitely be on every "best DLC" list.
@@lilfuzzballa I think Resident evil would like to have a word with you (especially 7, and the remakes)
Jane: "Oh no, my horse"...
Come, now, Jane - we all know your horse was sacrificed to Cthulhu...
Nope. I don't take horse sacrifices. Only human.
@@dreadcthulhu5 Good to know!
Wait whut
Cthulhu doesn't take sacrifices. He kills the cults too if they get in the way lol
I like to see Duke Nukem Forever as a character study of an incredibly capable individual with appalling insecurities. It's a tragic tale of a war hero who outlived their time and who's only opportunity to provoke the calloused taro root he has now is another alien invasion. All the tasteless quips are just the cries for help of a desperate narcissist clinging to past glories in this mad, mad world
I remember one time a group of my friends all called off work sick with a case of the shivering isles it was hilarious
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne! This dlc (if you could even call it that) has just as much, if not more, content than the base game!
Not to mention the sword trex or the light show of the deep Namielle.
I just like the clutch claw
I heard they're bringing back the one, and only, Fatalis
Confirming it’s better. It has a heated pool.
Glavenus deserves to be named
Yessss
Dying light: The Following dlc. So goddamn good!!
I wholeheartedly agree
Here's hoping Hellraid is equally good.
Michael Andrei Palon it’s garbage don’t buy it
Michael Andrei Palon Whats Hellraid?
I'd add the Dishonored Daud DLCs to this and Far Harbour for Fallout 4.
I'd say that Psycho Krieg and the fantastic fustercluck from borderlands 3 is a serious improvement from the main game seeing as the main plot was kinda underwhelming after that magnificent piece of art that was borderlabds 2 while this dlc's plot is frankly quite amazing
Just my opinion obviously
What about Lonsome Road or Old World Blues? or any of the other Fallout NV DLC? They were better then the game in every way and answered a lot on the couriers past and the most important question of all
*What is EDE's past*
Old world blues was one of the best dlc ive ever played
@@TheWalp owb the pitt and lonesome road are the best dlc's ever and i know pitt is fallout 3 but anyway
Old World Blues and Dead Money were great. Lonesome Road was epic, but depended a lot on the build-up from the other three DLCs. Wild Hearts was really forgettable.
Disagree they were better. They were great, but so was base NV. At least the stories. The gameplay obviously suffered from being built in 18 months on the framework of Fallout3. And even then, Honest Hearts was pretty lackluster outside of Graham and the story of the Father, Dead Money was okay but not amazing, and Lonesome Road hinged a lot on you playing all the other DLCs first
Anyone knows why it's not available for purchase on Xbox One? I was about to buy it along with the Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road DLC on Xbox One but Old World Blues it's not available. I played it on PC and loved that DLC :(
Seriously, how is Fallout 3 and the Broken Steel DLC not on this list? It literally fixes the ending if you have a certain traveling companion with you who is immune to radiation.
Or the other two that are also immune, namely the Charon and the Mr gutsy.
Fallout new vegas has much better dlc
@@MikefromTexas1
No, you get the ending of the game in the main game. Fawkes simply refuses to go into the reactor room to switch off the radiation. Huge difference.
Mothership Zeta was better.
@@Puremindgames agreed everything except broken steel is awesome
Mothership zeta: so much fun even if at times is a little silly or feels a little silly it does have roots in the games lore and introduces a lot of cool stuff
The Pitt: awesome dlc with cool guns a really interesting dilemma
Point lookout: quite a nice challenge and I admit some interesting story as well as a whole nother aesthetic to fallout 3
Operation anchorage: it really did feel like cod or a shooter and usually I wouldn't like it but there's just something about it that I can't hate maybe it's because you can get early loot there and make the game go a whole lot faster
Broken steel: Bethesda being greedy and it ruins the ending of the game because the whole point is that you sacrifice yourself just like your father also in my opinion the brotherhood are two holier then thou in 3
“Oh no, my horse” *complete deadpan tone*
" I knew you wouldn't disappoint" - what I wanted to say about duke nukem forever
I think Breath of the Wild's DLCs were amazing. One expanded on the fallen champion's lives and personalities, and one let you dress in Tingle's skintight bodysuit.
Luke does not like Tingle
And one gave you a motorcycle-
Stop! The horse armor DLC is starting to look a little less trash...
Kira, you're talking to a group of individuals who think tingle was one of if not THE worst and most pointless characters in the zelda franchise...
...
Ngl tho, I like tingle and his japan-only games are actually pretty interesting changes from the rest of the zelda library
Better than the main game? I think not. Other than the dungeon and the new hard setting, it only added recycled content and some extra challenges. The bike is also faster than the game loading areas. It was a cheap expansion pass, but I still think the little worthwhile content by itself wasn't worth the asking price
Oh man, that Hot Wheels expansion -- you can TELL when someone really loves their childhood toys. XD I personally actually really like BioShock 2, but I'm not going to quibble on Minerva's Den -- I wanted to CRY after that expansion was over. Good stuff, seriously.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Started out as a DLC for Shadowrun Returns but it had a longer campaign, more fleshed out characters, better story, better side missions and more meaningful choices. It ended up becoming its own game later on as a Director's Cut.
Ooh Dying Light : The Following was fantastic, maybe for the commenters edition?
It was awesome, even though that ending was a punch to the gut.
Came here looking for DL: The Following!! Such an expansive addition to an already extensive game 😎🎮👍🏼
Yeah The Follow was pretty good. Imo the story was much better than the original. And all the side quests made it more interesting. Can't wait for the sequel in December.
@@celestewhite7291 yeah it was but with crane being the monster in dl2 it was perfectly made imo. We all knew he wasn't going to live while being infected eventually the medicine would stop being made with the outbreak happening world wide.
Monster hunter world: icebourne’s content was amazing and basically could’ve been a sequel
Well cuz technically it's an expansion and not just basic dlc but you have a point
Well that's how monster hunters expansions were. They were a separate game before
When they make a sequel into an expansion and not the other way around
Love the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon: Zero Dawn. They added a new beautiful location, new robotic monsters to fight, expanded the world by letting us to meet the new tribe, wrote the story that was very touching and sad, but also explained the lore even better that the main story and introducing a little peek at Silence's backstory. AND they renewed the dialogue animations making them much more alive that just two heads talking to each other, slightly swaying.
Bioshock 2 is a true underappreciated game its excellent
The best game in the series imo.
Agreed
Don’t forgot RE5’s Lost in Nightmares which brought the spooooky feel back to Resident Evil!
7:27 I'm sorry but all I could hear there were "these are the adventures of the starship enterprise"... I had NO IDEA Patrick was even IN that game!
for like 5 mintures of the tutorial sequence yeah...
I had to have it pointed out to me, too (by the Oxtra videos). Granted I watched Star Trek TNG in German TV and we dub everything, so I was not that familiar with his actual voice...
@@SevCaswell That's probably all they could afford! Can't imagine his time comes cheap...
ScarabD well he’s in almost every episode of American Dad
All I could hear was Patrick Stewart saying the word "years" three times in ten seconds.
How about Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark? Sure, it's not TECHNICALLY a "DLC" but expansion packs are basically the same thing. And Hordes of the Underdark, and its predecessor, Shadows of Undrentide, are both fantastic and blow the original game out of the water.
+1.
It was the game the original should haver been.
No one ever gives neverwinter nights any credit anymore
Both incredible expansion packs, with THE best companion character in any RPG, imo. I'll pick Deekin over anyone else anyday!
Gothic 2: Night of the Raven is along the same line. It's an expansion, but it vastly improves the game, tweaks the difficulty to resemble more the first game's curve, and adds an enormous new area. Can't imagine the game without it. **Please give me more Gothic**
I have a question when it comes to the shimmering isles was that house made of butterflies or were the butterflies made of house? I've had this question in my head since I first ever played the shimmering isles dlc
Ohh the orphan of kos... I still have shivers when i see that dude pop up
I think octo expancion is much better than the original splatoon 2
I don't know some of the challenges annoyed me but the ending was way better
Well, duh. Main game story is basically a tutorial for mastering controls.
Octoexpansion was quality work that borrowed help of designers behind BotW shrines.
Absolutely deserves spotlight in Commenter's edition.
The story mode in Splatoon 2 felt vaguely like a long tutorial to me, so I 100% agree.
I cant disagree less
Ye the story was mediocre
I am LIVID that the Citadel DLC isn’t on here. Yes, I love the main game of ME3 to pieces, but the Citadel DLC is the most beautiful, frothy, and fan-servicing piece of DLC ever made!
Yay fan service!
Pior Wrex :/
Truth!
Honestly, Pokemon SwSh's Isle of Armor is way more fun to explore and experience than the main story. The main story basically tells you "just do your gym challenge and worry about literally nothing else because you is baby" vs. the DLC being "Hey, you're pretty strong and can take care of yourself! Have fun adventuring or doing whatever!"
Also, the fact that the entire island was a wild area made me realize that this is what I had really been hoping for in a 3D pokemon game. The free-roam and exploration aspects of Isle of Armor was such a breathe of fresh air. I just wish the diglett were a tiny bit easier to see, haha.
Sams story in metro exodus is seriously a masterpiece. While the base game is already incredibly amazingly good, it doesn’t have the same fun factor sams story does as the gameplay is dragged on by the story instead of gameplay being the main focus in each level.
Skyrim's Dragonborn dlc is still the best piece of elder scrolls content I've ever played. Lovecraft and ancient power mad dragonborn make a surprisingly awesome combination!
Agreed. Exploring Apocrypha made me more tense and scared than some actual horror games I've played. And, of course, RIDEABLE DRAGONS.
YES, (almost) everything was amazing, shouts? Check (Dragon Aspect and Bend Will, you are amazing), armor and weapons? Check (Deathbrand set and Stahlrim in general are probably some of the best stuff ever), enchantments? Check, (Chaos enchant you are the GOAT), great enemies, locations, side quests, story, and of course, one of the best boss fights in the entire game, Miraak (the dragon priests were amazing too of course). The only thing i hated about this DLC (aside from the enemies in Apocrypha) was Hermaeus Mora, he talks TOO. DAMN. SLOW. And his dialogue can’t be skipped. I’m pretty sure he’s universally hated by Skyrim fans for this one reason
it is an excellent piece of DLC, started early it delivers proper feeling of you being the inferior Dragonborn who needs to learn their full power, which can be a humbling experience considering you are basically a god compared to most of skyrim's inhabitants. The history of what happened there during the fall of the dragon cults, the birth of the dragonborns, its time in the empire and its changing of hands since then make it a incredibly varied landscape to explore, with its mixed ascetic, awesome weapons, creepy monsters, worthy challenges and the eternally annoying Hermaeus Mora
The one thing I hate about it is that Hermaeus Mora isn't the final boss. I am eternally salty about that and will mention it at every opportunity.
@@jorvach9874 i mean hermaus is a god that can kill you easily
The Hot Wheels Expansion for Forza Horizon 3 is tied with the Lego Land one for Forza Horizon 4 :D
"Hero of Kvatch" gave me massive nostalgia.
Another good one is Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen, it added what is basically infinite content for an extra 10-20 bucks
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S NOT ITS OWN GAME?! I THOUGHT IT WAS!
XD
I swear, you guys mispronounce 'Geralt' every so often just so someone like me will comment saying 'you guys mispronounced Geralt'. And honestly... I can respect that.
TjDolHaus86 "Please, please. Bungdiddler is my father. Call me BD."
I just go with Gerry of the river
Jeralt the Wit-ker.
1:44 Yes because Jack just has sooooo much personality ya know with all those words he said and all the emotions we saw him convey with his face
Lmfao bruh I was thinking the same
Thing. I like their content for the most part but sometimes they say some dumb shit
@@natesgeeklounge and they said the gameplay is just rehashed from Bioshock 1.. wtf kind of nonsense is that . Made themselves sound like clowns
@@natesgeeklounge I agree, Bioshock 2 brought more to the series than the critics give it credit for, like letting you play as a big daddy in an experience that doesn't suck (ffs Jack didn't even have a drill arm, I lost count how many that thing saved my ass)
So glad The Old Hunter was placed here. The Ludwig battle was epic and one of my favorite boss fights, while Orphan of Kos was one of the hardest bosses that was very memorable. The weapons…..my god the weapons were amazing. The Beast Cutter is my all time favorite weapon in the SoulsBorne games. Great game and one of my favorite games of all time.
with the duke nukem dlc it's a pretty simple answer why it went so much quicker, they had the tool kit(buggy as it could be) and only had to reuse some assets make a few more build a level and have scifi b movie fun
Sir Patrick Stewart is a treasure...❤❤❤
And in Steamboy, glorious voice acting!
Fallout 3 had some great DLC - The Pitt especially. Medal of Honour Allied Assault had great expansion packs back in the day too
@FstSergeant8595 reeeeeeally spooky
@FstSergeant8595 dead money, point lookout and far harbor are my favorites, love it when they have a spooky dlc in a fallout game (haven't played fallout 3 but judging by the point lookout trailer I'm gonna love it)
@@mr.intruder1536 you won't be disappointed about point lookout but can be tough be prepared
I preferred mothership zeta to be honest, just something different
@@Tavemanic Ooh yeah that one was good! I very do the role playing bit of RPGs (kill stuff and move on is more my speed) but in that one I became an intergalactic arms smuggler/drug dealer
Loved the vid as always!
I especially loved your choice of wardrobe Jane, which not only celebrates your beauty and cleverness (effective use of contrast) but also serves to prove the point of how much more delightful it is to serve up something we already love!
loved the 'hidden' Clint Mansell sample.
Fun fact, while still underwhelming, the alien ai in CM is fouled up by a single extra letter
elaborate pls
@@hotshotstevennonofyourbiz7200 a somebody mispelt tether as teather in a single bit of code, i don't remember the exact details, but apparently correcting it makes the aliens actually mostly functional
It's one of the greatest fuck-ups of all time imo. One letter destroyed what could have been a semi-tolerable game.
I wish Hot Wheels games were still a thing, Turbo Racing was amazing.
I remember getting hot wheels game CDs from cereal boxes.
oh my god that alien dlc is terrifying, insane how perfect it replicates the movie
I loved Blood and Wine so much!! Especially with Regis!!
Ah, Shivering Isles.
Back when this DLC was out, me and my friend had just gotten our PCs and the game. So, I played Oblivion as it is while my friend went on straight into the Shivering Isles. It felt as though we were playing two separate entry of Elder Scrolls. It's really cool.
