Is the Season pass worth it?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

I am the type of gamer that could care less about challenge modes and things of that nature. Does the DLCs have actual additional story content, or massive items added? I don't want to put out the money unless I am sure.
I didn't get Bioshock Infinites DLC and regretted it for a long time due to Episode 1^2 involving Rapture. So I didn't want to have the same situation happen again.

Nope. The DLC are all challenge type modes. The only story based DLC's are Last Survivor and Crew Expendable (the Nostromo stuff). They aren't a part of the DLC.

i bought the game with everything for around £16 and i never liked the game

Safe Haven & Lost Contact are awesome, better than the "story" DLCs (which are not included in the Season Pass).

I think they're all pretty good.

Yeah but the three other Survival DLCs are so short. I'd buy them only on sale, but the Salvage DLCs are worth their current price.

Yup salvage dlc's are quite good, and a nice challenge

The DLCs are more of the same. Trouble is, by the time you finish the main campaign there's a chance you won’t feel like playing any more of the same. Don't get me wrong, the first two thirds / three quarters of the game is almost Half-Life good. But the last part of the campaign, it just drags on and becomes a repetitive frustrating mess - almost Duke Nukem Forever bad.

It's an incredibly bipolar game. But I've seen people clocking hundreds of hours on this game while for me it outgrew it's welcome after the first 15-17 hours, so your mileage might vary. And since the DLCs don't add anything to the main campaign your best bet is to wait until you finished that before deciding on whether or not to buy the season pass.

i bought the game and everything steam was selling for around £18 just wait for another sale

Found Duke Nukem Forever quite good, but I doubt this game is anything Half-Life LOL, you should play games before to use them as comparison points. Ha ha

Ok I suppose you mean HL2, what a cliché, so you know only one good fps, sigh.

Well Steam quick try will probably allow me get an idea.

I tried the Safe Haven DLC: recognised as one of the better ones released.
Personally, it wasn't very good at all. It's something anybody could have done themselves.
Developers shouldn't lower themselves to "anybody" and expect to be paid for it.

The "Mission Loads" you can just play within the base game have far superior map designs and the one within the medic area where you can lock the doors, is more fun than any of the DLC available when you adjust the difficulty (like the "Unpredictable Alien" mod).

The developers need to stop this and focus on the AI of the Alien and further its abilities; acid, scaling walls and jumping wall to wall, à la "Aliens"; and crawling upside on the ceiling, à la "Alien 3".

On the subject of Alien 3... bit of a missed opportunity in terms of how the game should go with defending against it and running from it.

None of the DLC is helping Alien Isolation. That can't be good, whether it makes money or not.
