Is the dlc worth buying?

[Chickenman]

I've bought this game when it came out and enjoyed the base game. Just curious if any of the dlc is worth buying or has good quality story additions.

The skins are kind of fun but the real gem is the season of infamy DLC

Don't buy any dlc of this game. If you do then you approve what they did with the pc port.

Oh get the f*** over yourself buddy. The game's released. They already got the major media backlash and suffered financial losses. And it's the last batman game.

You can stick by your principles and that's fine and dandy, but you'd be missing out on a great game that works fine now.



So OP, yes... DLC is worth it. Tons of extra content that really finishes up the experience. You get to finish up lose ends like Mr. Freeze, The mad Hatter, Killer Croc, and Ras Al Ghul. You also have a ton of extra challenge maps to play and even new batmobiles to drive.


Be warned though, most batmobiles are not available in the open world, they only work on the challenge maps.

You actually can use any batmobile in free roam new game or new game +, providing you're not in the middle of a mission that requires the use of a battle mode batmobile.

Let me start by saying that the extra characters for Brawling and Predator are all a bit on the flat side, Batman and Red Hood are the most fun to play as. Besides that, challenges with the different Batmobiles are extremely fun, driving while hearing the 'nanananananananananananananananaBatmaaaan' or Danny Elfman's theme is awesome. The story DLCs are also good, the best ones being the HQ one and the Season Of Infamy. The second one in particular has a moment in it that will leave you thinking about it for days. I cannot say about Batgirl's DLC, haven't played it yet.

In short, come for the extra characters and stay extra skins and Batmobile challenges and story. But like I said, nothing beats fighting as Batman & Red Hood. Bats is just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ versatile that I am still uncovering new ways to take down thugs with his gadgets. Red Hood has guns, he straight up executes them when he is not beating the living ♥♥♥♥ out of them, it's so brutal.

You had me sold at nananananana lol. Ok cool so I think I will get of these. Does the season pass include everything that has come out?

Yes, except the PS4 exclusives which stay exclusive. I assume someone of the Modders will mod them somehow in the Game

Unlikely; Passed mods of this caliber where from the Linux version but with it's cancellation... Well, lets just say that if it happened it would be a huge undertaking.

I thought it was a good DLC...it was made by the Montreal group....should've been a DLC for the Origins game. It has elements from City(busting ballons) and Asylum(Joker teeth) and a few Harley boxes thrown in. It also has some puzzles to solve in order to 'listen' to recordings by the Amusement Park creator which leads to a secret room hidden in the playground. Has some dual play and of course the Joker. It's a 'chapter' that fits in between the Origins and Asylum game.
the short DLC are nothing but 3 challenge maps with a cut scene thrown in between the maps tho' they play into the overall game either pre or post Arkham Knight story.

To answer your question: yes.

The DLC's a bit pricey for what it is but I still enjoyed what I got. The bulk of it is challenge maps, both combat and predator, along with batmobile racetracks. If you're a fan of being able to play as more characters in the challenge maps (who each feel pretty unique) and want to try out all the different batmobiles on themed maps (which are also really unique with their sounds and how they handle), then I'm sure you'll similarly enjoy what the season pass has to offer.

A poster above me loved Red Hood but Harley Quinn was actually my favourite. Her individual "arkham episode" is really really short (much like Red Hood's, Catwoman's, Nightwing's and Robin's) but being able to play as her in challenge maps more than makes up for it. Batgirl's DLC is closer to an hour rather than the 10 minute arkham episodes I've already mentioned and feels less like a challenge map. There's a few new mechanics and a lot of extra goodies which a poster already covered here.

As for the 1960's Batmobile and the tracks that come with it -- you'll love it. The props, the music... a lot of love was clearly poured into it. I wasn't a fan of the Tumbler's maps (inspired by The Dark Knight) but the tracks for the 1989 batmobile are also great.

The last bit of DLC is the Season of Infamy. It's honestly overpriced for what essentially amounts to 1 hour of content split between 4 extra missions that you can do while playing new game or new game +. I still reckon it's worth getting because the 4 missions are all great and I really enjoyed revisiting these characters. Not to mention there's less of a focus on the batmobile in these missions.

So overall the season pass is worth getting if most of this interests you. Otherwise, pick it up on sale.
