7 Reasons The PlayStation 3 Is Better Than Ever
2. There Could Be DLC You Missed Out On
The origin story of DLC will probably never move away from the infamous horse armour for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but look further, and there are a ton of titles with excellent downloadable add-ons.
Fallout 3 has expanded mission content with Operation: Anchorage and the huge and absurd Mothership Zeta which builds brilliantly on the already awesome main game.
Both Mass Effect 2 and 3 saw plenty of additional missions and expanded systems - even bringing back characters from the original game to please fans. Rockstar Games took it further still with whole additional chunks of game like The Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony for GTA IV - new miniature entries in the series in their own right that had new protagonists and game mechanics.
Red Dead Redemption had perhaps the finest DLC: Undead Nightmare. This turned the original game on its head by transforming the wild west into a zombie apocalypse stricken land. The game was totally refreshed, and it feels slightly unfair to even call it 'add-on' content - it was almost its own new game.
The PS3/360 era was rather the golden era for DLC, before the dark times. Before microtransactions.
