Of all the thousands of DLC packs available out there, some can give much more "value" than others. Based on your own experiences, what is the most WORTHLESS DLC you've ever bought from any game (on any platform)???
NOTE: I'm referring more to actual content packs, and not necessarily "microtransactions" (e.g. virtual currency for a mobile game). Granted, if you've never once bought any DLC, or you think all DLC you've gotten has been worth the money, that's fine. I also realize that some DLC is just for aesthetics, not gameplay, and that's also fine. I'm simply referring to any DLC that has caused genuine "buyer's remorse" for any reason. For me personally, the most worthless DLC was for a weapon and armor pack for a game where every single one of the items was obsolete in less than 40 minutes of gameplay. This actually happened on multiple games; Dynasty Warriors 7 / Toukiden: Kiwami / Age of Conan / Kindoms of Amalur. I really need to stop buying armor packs. <___< Also, I must be one of the 5 people on the planet that actually LIKED the Horse Armor in Oblivion. Those armors looked badass (especially if you had a dark horse). --- Money is overrated... ... Copied to Clipboard!

knights of the 9 oblivion. Could you circumvent this by wearing the grey fox mask while committing said crime? To be on topic. I've actually never regretted a DLC purchase. I'm very selective about which ones I get though. I've never paid money for a cosmetic dlc though, so that helps. --- I used to think my brain was my favorite part of my body...Then I realized what was making me think that! ... Copied to Clipboard!

It is kinda funny to think back how many people were angry because of that horse armor.
If they only knew how much worse it would really get after just a few years... I was so disappointed in the season pass I bought for Halo Wars 2. It was mostly just more characters(which had unique units and powers). It was neat and all to play as different characters but the developers intentionally left out the best DLC for the game which was story DLC. You see, the season pass was only for the DLC that was released within six months after the game launch. And they released the story DLC like a week or something after the season pass expired, which was a dick move IMO. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Some of the later Borderlands 2 DLCs were pretty weak. IIRC it was the thanksgiving one that had a "raid boss" that was (very minor spoiler but just in case you'd want to be surprised by it)
but no, I think the "most worthless" one must have been ~$3 for more BG1 portraits. you get 6 whole portraits, described as "a world of possibilities". --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

knights of the 9 oblivion. That was a pretty decent one though. It's one of the better ones by far. A little quest, some nice story bits and some ok armor/weapon.

To my knowledge, they actually never released any story dlc at all (season pass or otherwise).

None, because I refuse on principle to buy DLC. It has become a horrendously manipulative and abusive system, which was the exact sort of thing being warned about 10 years ago with Oblivion's horse armour and pretty much everything predicted back then has come to pass.
The only DLC I've ever downloaded was either free or included as part of a GOTY Edition. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a shame what happened to Battleborn. If it weren't for being so outclassed by Overwatch, it might have had a decent chance. Of course, that wasn't the first time that a decent game got killed by a better alternative (and it won't be the last).
