8 Video Games That Needed DLC

We all well know by now the sorry state in which EA's Star Wars Battlefront II launched in.

Containing some of the worst examples of loot box gambling, a much-hyped but outrageously mediocre single-player experience that sacked off its one decent angle, not two missions in, and an atrocious disregard for players' time through forcing them through literally hundreds of hours of grind to unlock one Legendary Character, to call the game a mess would be an insult to landfills.

Coupled with an abysmal Reddit debacle that saw yet more negativity towards the company and the title, plus the world over being finally motivated to look into the predatory practices of loot boxes, EA and DICE had to move quickly to restore what little faith in the project was left.

While many companies would react by cutting out the offending content, canceling roadmaps, and letting the title limp towards an early death, DICE went into overdrive to deliver an experience that would be remembered for the right reasons.

And as much as I despise EA for their handling of this project, you have to admit, the free Season updates for the game are something else, elevating the game to a state that's not just enjoyable but truly stunning in some places.

With space battles, vibrant and exotic locations, iconic characters, and weapons, Star Wars Battlefront II ended its run on a high that few would have thought possible, and I'm truly glad it did.
