10 Video Game DLC Releases That Were Better Than The Original

2. Destiny: The Taken King

Upon a wave of hype, Destiny entered the gaming world to a decidedly mixed reaction. Many were quick to point out the game's numerous design flaws and yet those same people admitted that they couldn't stop playing it. It was apparent that if Bungie could fix the growing pains of their new pseudo-MMO concept, they would have something special on their hands. 

While The Taken King didn't quite bring the game to that level, it did attempt to address nearly every flaw that held back Destiny at launch. Through a combination of quality of life fixes (such as better quest management) as well as more missions that provided players with something to do beyond "Clear the area, rinse, repeat" The Taken King finally allowed players to experience the potential of Destiny as opposed to just imagining it.

Had The Taken King been released in place of the original vanilla game, Destiny's reputation would be decidedly different today.
