Like the title! I normally am very critical of Expansions, but sometimes they build upon the base game in very unique ways. I love Dead Money for Fallout: New Vegas, it has the sharpest character writing and turns the game into a Survival Horror experience while remaining authentically “Fallout.”
What are y’all’s thoughts?
The Sword and Shield expansions, honestly. The base game was pretty shit, though.
Ds1, 2, 3 and bloodbornes expansions were all peak.
Maybe illegal but battlefield games had some great xpacs from bf3 and before. Bad company 2 vietnam was great, i put more hours into that than the main game. Aftermath, close quarters and back to karkand were all brilliant expansions i dumped silly hours into. Endgame was poo.
Far cry 3 blood dragon was good fun. And ofc every expac for dawn of war 1.
Close Quarters for BF3 was so sweet. A couple of those small maps were incredibly well designed, and it had a great Gun Game as an official game type.
I love how they added loads of smgs and shotguns then made maps where the destruction was small scale like demolishing office buildings. It looked so good ripping apart furniture and thin walls in a map that starts pristine.
The scavenger game mode in aftermath was my favourite, all the fun of a battle royale without the tedium, trying to keep a good weapon all round was exhilarating.
Oooh battlefield whatever happened.
Dark Souls II DLC trilogy was goated and some of the most interesting souls content period. except for the multiplayer boss sections. we don’t talk about those.
Half Life: Blue Shift and Opposing Force remain all time favourites, but Far Cry: Blood Dragon and the various additions to the Binding of Isaac are also up there.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
The Rise of the Witch King expansion for Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2
If you like RTS games and/or Lord of the Rings these games are pretty easy to pirate and there is an active modding community.
