DLC worth it?

[Heru Ra Ha]

Hey guys,

so I didn't really enjoy DE:MD that much because it was way too short and somewhat too easy but however I just wanted your input if the DLC is actually worth it?

So still have the game installed and hoped for some patches to see some improvements but the game didn't even keep me hooked so that I would go on achievementhunt or start a NG+ ..

So i am happy about the advice and thanks for your time in advance!
Regards

For 1/5 the price of game it had better be 1/5 the size of the main game. It seems to not be. I passed....

Personally I think it's pretty ok. Maybe not worth the price though.. But that, I guess, depends on who you ask.

It is NOT a part of the main story, though.
You play it as a 'Jensen's Story'

well, i guess i wont be getting any dlc or season pass.. the fact that it is a seperate storyline with no items or xp transfering back to the main game.. it provides no value to the main game.

Mh but is it at least like well done and interesting even tho it has nothing to do with the main game?

Thanks for your input so far

The DLC is pretty medicore IMO. It starts off quite promising as you travel to a new district in Prague but it's just too small and there's nothing really to explore. The Blade data bank itself looks very impressive too but the layout and design is just bland and you can easily sail through each floor. As you progress; the mission just deteriorates further culminating in a finale which consists of a Breach mission.

It took me about 3 hours to complete but I could have probably cruised through in an hour but I decided to hack every terminal and read all the emails which probably took two hours and offered absolutely sod all in terms of worthwhile information.

For £9.50/$12; it's far too much. Knock 75% off and it may be worth chucking a few quid for a few more hours but the story offers absolutely nothing to the main game and it just feels like a completely non-essential purchase.

If you haven't already; try Desperate Measures in Jensen's Stories if you have it - it's very short but probably better quality.

Thanks for that, guess I will pass till it is off 75%

If you didn't like the main game, you won't like this DLC. Took me five and a half hours and I had a blast.

I feel it added what the main game was missing. Witty humour, the banter between Jensen and Pritchard was solerly needed in the main game and im glad it happened here. Took me 4 and 1/2 hours and if your hesitent I would say wait for 50% off. I dont get the " I can bring op jensen into this dlc" complaint its trivial and nonsense

Content wise, its 10% of game length/content for 20% price. For me, that is enought. But may not be for everyone.

It's odd to me too. I wonder if many of the people who feel that way are also the ppl who prefer to play ng+++...
For this and other games, I'd prefer to restart a new game every time. And I don't mind that the dlc segments are separate. (I have my own criticisms of the format, but that's separate.)

Also I still haven't played through the rift yet, but if there are more interactions between Jensen and Pritchard and they are as entertaining as the intro video, this would be worth 5 dollars already for that lol.

story wise, it does connect/explain several things and adds more information, both dlcs do that.
personally, I think they will integrate the dlcs into the main game in the director's cut, like they did with hr's dlc.

money wise, system rift is worth the price, but, just barely.

The DLC issue is what made me pass up the whole game.... until the set is priced like the length of the game.

Do my unlocked augments in the vanilla game carried over in DLC?

No, the save files are independent. At the start of system rift, depending on the difficulty selected, you'll have X praxis for building Adam, and there's a couple really obvious additional praxis early in the blade, as well as before you enter the blade itself.

Overall, I don't feel system rift is bad, but it's limited. Combat really takes a backseat to stealth.

No. You get a dozen praxis points but have to start from scratch and use them wisely. Very wisely.
