Is it worth it without the DLCs?

[GaBruxo]

I can't buy his DLCs for now, but would I be losing a lot of the game buying the base for 50% off?

The game is just fine without the DLCs.

[Dragon32]

Absolutely what qwermoop said.

Problem is if you really wind up liking the game, you'll probably wish you had the DLC - in which case Legendary edition is way to go

That's what I did: bought all the things part-way through.

They're not really necessary.

There was a previous discussion on the topic that gives a rounded view.

Did a full playthrough without it and it felt complete.

[blkbutterfly]

Yes

[fathamburger]

yes full playthru feels complete but because of Season pass pricing, just buy legendary from the outset if you can. It's often discounted well enough

[Darkurthe]

Yes the game is great. I'd say the DLC is the most cash grabby I have seen in a while, so never going to buy unless it gets down to fire sale levels.

the game has a lot of strengths. DLC adds some new characters and a couple of new mission types as well as a couple of new Abbey construction projects. It's a fun game, if it runs well for you, and the DLC is just a nice add-on, not a necessity.

thats what i noticed too so i only bought the base game. even if the base game will be fantastic i wont miss the dlc because i don't like the dlc characters (actually only like venom but hate the others including deadpool) and the dlcs are supposed to be super short, like 2-3 hours each whilst the main game is a 60 hour campaign at least.

doesn't look like the dlcs add anything meaningful to the game and the base game itself seems to be "complete" if you want to play through it once and fully experience the story.

Thanks everyone, I bought the game and I'm enjoying it, despite the characters' faces being rotten, and playing with RT on is an absurd loss of performance.

Playing the game with decent settings at all is an absurd loss of performance lol. The game is poorly optimized for PC. Great game though, it's a lot of fun, and it being turn-based means the poor graphics optimization isn't as annoying as it could be.

Umm no, out of the settings only the ray tracing causes huge performance loss. I run the game just fine on epic settings at native 3200*1800p resolution, not even needing any FSR. And I have a last-gen entry level 4k gaming rig with Ryzen 5600X, OC RX6800 and 32GB of 3600mhz RAM with the game installed on a fast M.2 Nvme SSD.

I've disabled the 2k launcher with a Steam command though, because it causes a lot of performance issues.

Yes. If you the type to max out all your heroes the base gives you lots of superheroes to play with. Over 100 hours easy
