10 Video Game DLC Releases That Were Better Than The Original
8. Civilization V: Brave New World
It's one thing for DLC to improve upon a game that clearly had problems and quite another for it to vastly improve on something that not many people felt needed many in the first place.
Such is the case with Brave New World. Civilization V gave us what many felt that was the best Civilization game ever when it released, but just a few years later, the debut of Brave New World showed us how much more the series could accomplish. Along with the fleshed out content that this expansion provided (more civilizations, more troops, more land, etc.) what Brave New World really contributed to the Civilization V experience was an expanded focus on diplomacy and government. Whereas the game had previously emphasized pursuing military dominance, now it was just as viable - and just as fun - to conquer the world without firing a single shot.
While diplomacy was always an option in Civ, no other game in the series showed how incredible that pursuit could be quite like Brave New World.
