Are dlcs worth it?

[Donte]

Considering how stingy publisher is in discounting seasonpass I am wondering if it's worth to pay extra for the legendary edition. Do you think it's worth it?

[A Disembodied Intelligence]

I absolutely do, personally.

Not only does it add a decent additional story campaign to the game (if you have the full season 1), but some of the Abbey upgrades alone make it worth it for the fun bonuses they can provide (shoutout to the symbiote bomb combat item, as I don't see people talk about it much and I love it).

And then there's the characters themselves!
If you're into the character writing side of things, I think this is the best Venom and Morbius I've seen, I'm not usually a fan of Venom stories but I actually really dug his character in this (and it turns out Morbius is actually interesting! Who knew?!).

But if you're just into the gameplay and decks for them then know that those are pretty great additions too!

Storm's is overpowered af and fun.
Venom's is unique once you unlock his Suns legendary card and really flips the script on what characters can do in a single turn.
Morbius' is very vampirey and gives some cool Bleed support that makes pairing him with Blade really good.
Deadpool's requires a big shift in the way you play the game, shakes things up nicely, though most people say the payoff you get for putting in the effort with him isn't that great, but he's still fun in my books.

So yeah!
Tl;dr -
My favourite four things about the dlc are:
* Good additional campaign.
* Good new character decks.
* Good new abbey upgrades.
* Good character writing.

The enemies it adds aren't that varied, but the final boss fight at the end of the dlc campaign is really great and makes up for it in that regard.

And at the end of the day, buying the dlc helps increase the chances of more dlc seasons in the future too! And that would be amazing.

Stingy? They just had a big sale a couple of weeks ago!

I think the DLC is worth it if you buy it on sale. If not - no way, not even close.

I've been wondering how the DLCs work if you don't buy them all. The characters all become available, but their stories are intertwined. Can you even do the whole story if you don't have every single DLC?

When I bought the game in the last sale, the individual DLCs weren't on sale at all, so just buying one of them wasn't a sane move. Maybe they'll keep doing that so the question becomes mute.

No real chance of that. We'll be lucky to see any more patches, never mind DLCs.

Besides, there's no more room at the abbey. If they did more DLC, it would have to be something other than the format the current DLC used.

I mean, there's effort for sure, but not sure if it's worth the full price of the Season Pass and ABSOLUTLY not worth the full price of each individual DLC. Best to get Legendary Edition (preferably during one of its numerous discounts) or if you got the base game, wait for when the Season Pass is hopefully dirt cheap.

I got the Legendary edition on the recent Summer Sale, and I think it's a good addition to the game. The characters are pretty fun to play for the most part (I'm kind of iffy on Deadpool) and their hangout/friendship stuff is of similar quality to the base heroes. If you're actively playing through you can also sometimes do a DLC story mission in place of a basic mission when you're currently gated from doing the main story, that's pretty cool especially considering the research you get from taking the new guys.

That being said i'd agree with most of the other folks here, the whole package is superb considering that I got it for $40 on discount.

I'm not saying the DLC doesn't have some good additions. Just feel having to pay almost the same amount for the DLC as for the full game is rather unacceptable. I'm speaking of the Season Pass and individual DLCs; getting the Legendary Edition is honestly, the only acceptable deal, and getting it at dirt-cheap 60% off makes a more worth-while deal.

Legendary Edition is definitely the best deal for the game, especially if you pick it up from a sale. The DLC's make the game better, and there's enough content in them that I even consider these underpriced.
