5 Video Games That Did DLC Right (And 5 That Ripped You Off)
4. Wrong - Grand Theft Auto V
Yes, unfortunately, even a company like Rockstar can occasionally miss the mark.
While some love the flow of content constantly being added to Grand Theft Auto: Online, the lack of single-player DLC is a wasted opportunity, to say the least.
The story add-ons for the game's predecessor earned it a spot on the positive side on this list, but for GTA V, however, Rockstar chose to focus their attention on the multiplayer side of things. While this wasn't a bad thing, per se, as an incredibly large amount of players loved and still love GTA: Online, it definitely left a void for those who would have liked Michael, Trevor and Franklin's story to be expanded upon just a bit.
And while GTA: Online certainly added a new layer of lore to Los Santos itself, it came off as redundant after a while, given the inherent repetitiveness of the gameplay.
What earns it a spot on this list, however, is not just the content of the add-ons, but the manner in which they were released. Many of the outfits and weapons that Rockstar added over the course of the game's lifespan seemed like they could have been there from the very start - even heists weren't added until much later.
Sure, this was because they weren't finished yet, but despite being a great and fun experience, Grand Theft Auto: Online can be put right in line with every other game that was released before it was ready, labelling content that should have been there at launch as an "add-on".
