Worst DLC's

congrats, you paid for removing some features :)

"Now with photo-realistic buttholes!"

was just gonna post that, what was it like ~$5 for a horse skin?

Instantly thought of this when I saw the topic heading.

People.

Hey, that $2 I spent for Bacon Guns and Knives and Assault Shields was worth it. Besides, they were useless Microsoft Points that had been on my account for a long time

My friend has bought all of them.

Did you see the "Bacon MP Personalization Pack"? LMAO

I made a thing to show you what I mean. Sorry not an artist.

I'd say single player cosmetic DLC is even worse than multiplayer cosmetic DLC because then you can't even show it off to other players

But what about Ronimo, and their skins?... Ronimo is an awesome indie developer, and they sell tons of cosmetic DLCs on a non-free2play game. Other than the developer size and the type of game, the situation is exactly the same. Neither case is pay 2 win at all... It is additional personalization features for an added cost, that are COMPLETELY 100% optional, and you aren't at a disadvantage for not buying them. So really, what is so bad about cosmetic DLC? If you think about it, non-free map pack DLCs for multiplayer games, are FAR worse. They separate players into specific groups, breaking up the community. COD and Battlefield are the only games that can pull things like that off, because their user-bases are already so large to begin with, so even if they separate it into 6 smaller groups, there are still tons of people for everyone to play with.

Yeah, who cares about content ripped from games, map packs or guns.
Completely unnecessary skin packs you can simply ignore and get the same experience are the worst!
I bought every skin pack for Killing Floor. Not because I wanted skins, but to support developers that are adding free content (weapons, maps, new perks and levels, events) since release that was more than 3 years ago.
I would rather have real content free and optional skins for money than the other way around.

depends on the cosmetics, KF was doing good until they started releasing weapon packs.
i bought a lot of skins for Awesomenauts to help the indie devs because all the dlcs are just skins(that i actually like) and doesnt give me or someone else any advantage over others

DLC that gives players advantages over other players is worse. Like pay to win DLC.

Hey! I love cosmetic items and spend a majority of funds for games on them!

cough Team fortress 2 cough

+1

The beginning of the end.

Yeah, horse armor is just a sad sad thing

Yeah but I bought those anyway to support the devs for making such a completely awesome game.

Because skin are there as way to support developers, not to milk players.
Do players without those skins have somehow lesser experience from the game than those with them? I don't think so lol.

Those characters make up a big part of what gives the game its flavour, in my opinion. And yes, I bought them all.

It was useful, but the "quest", like all of the other DLC, was started by some aunt, uncle, sister, dog that knew you were in prison and sent a letter by courier that knew the EXACT sewer pipe you were going to pop out of. Total lack of immersion.

or suck. in 2 rpg games i got that had weapon dlc they ended up having level caps and i had better gear by the time i could use them. ok the divinity 2 ego was a steam only armor/hammer set but still.

The actual underdome part was awful, but the bank was nice to have at least.

It was still pretty fun to play, but I grabbed BL GOTY on a promo with my GF, so the price issues didn't concern me.

Come on, everyone knows anime characters provide radar invisibility...

WTF? I want this planes :d

9/10, would buy red!

+1. I also hate DLC's that "add" to the plot, but really, it's just them charging you for something that should have been included in the first place.

Another reason why Super Smash Bros. is an awesome series.

i like b00bs

You mean to tell me you never bought a bad DLC. Like ever?

Never bought bad DLC... yet you bought the Castle Crashers packs?

Wait, a DLC that add actual nice mechanics to the game and for less than 2$ was your worst DLC? was that the only DLC you ever bought? XDD

W....T....F....

I prefer getting FF XIV: ARR and a few months of subscriptions instead of getting this DLC.

TRAIN SIMULATOR BITCH

There is one more now, price has raised up to 1904,55€

Is there a DLC every 5minutes or so ? xD

You're kind of missing the point. Train Simulator 2013 is a niche game aimed entirely at enthusiasts. The market for their DLC is incredibly small, and incredibly picky. They want their favorite trains, and they want them in the most authentic form possible. This means having to license the names and likenesses, which costs a fair bit of money. Accurately modeling the trains then costs a fair bit more money. So with the very small user base every piece of DLC has to be priced relatively high.

However, very few people are going to buy every piece; they'll only get the trains and locations that interest them the most. It is like going to university. Yes it would be ridiculously expensive to enter every course and buy every textbook, but no one would ever do that. You get the stuff that interests you and you only pay for those things.

9541.40 Israeli New Shekels w00t

EDIT: For whoever that wondering that is how much you get in a Bar Mitzva

This.

Okay, this one sounds like it wins. Even the cosmetic stuff is ... well, cosmetic. This one sounds like you're paying for a worse experience.

Never again in this thread a DLC will be explained in such a detailed manner.. All Hail Raverkid for winning the "worst DLC you have purchased" thread xD

that is why they are good, otherwise the game would be dead because of the pay to win syndrome.

No real use makes them optional. And there is nothing wrong with optional DLC that wont give you advantage over other players that don't have them. Basically they exist only as optional way to support developer and get something little in return.

Awesomenauts dlcs are pretty nice indeed. They add all new kind of cosmetic stuff (some add new voicelines). Also, they always go in sales for less than 50 cents, so i guess that's not that bad.

The Beat Hazard DLC is situational. I (sadly) know quite a few people that have huge iTunes-purchased music libraries. The DRM on .m4a is... well, terrible, at least for iTunes distribution.

It is almost like some people are pissed that they do not get advantage over other players for extra money they spend.

Indeed, unlockable is just too stupid to be true
