What are the worst expansion packs ever.

Of the ones I own: Borderlands' Mad Moxie's Underdome.
It was boring, it took far too long (3hrs each arena), every level was the same waves, in the same order, with the same enemies. What did you win if you completed all the arena's? Nothing but achievements. Beating the Short arenas (5 levels) got you an extra skill point and the weapon bank was open to you right at the beginning.
Another thing is the idea of the 'Weapon Bank'. It's pretty pointless! At what point are you not going to be carrying your best weapons with you? Even if your waiting for those weapons you might need to level up to use, you can't possibly tell me you don't have enough room to keep them with you until then. And it doesn't even transfer between characters! If your using a Hunter and find an amazing SMG, your Siren character can't go to the bank and get it later cause she has her own seperate bank! POINTLESS!

I think it,s cheating but Horse Armor
I have seen free community mods that had more effort put into them

I'm gonna have to agree with Mad Moxie's Underdome, it was arduous to say the least. Boring, repetitive, very little reward for a whole lot of time and effort. It had potential, but where that potential went I don't know.
And I can only assume this picture is from a community mod. It's not from the Horse Armor DLC. Which is cheating, since it's not an expansion at all.henritje said:I think it,s cheating but Horse Armor

OT: I can't actually think of any. All the expansions I've played have been generally good. Maybe not the best but nowhere near "the worst ever". Maybe the worst I've played were the Knights of the Nine for Oblivion - it was a bit "meh" and the new items were "meh" as well. Pretty but not that useful. Not exactly bad, but not breathtaking either. I'd suggest only paying for it if it comes with lots of other stuff. Like for example, the GOTY edition - if you're not buyng that, I don't see a reason to waste money on KotN.
The worst I bought is Zero Hour for C&C Generals. Loved Generals, reckon ZH had some awesome ideas, but it couldn't have been any more unbalanced. I was amazed so many players found all these annoying rushes that could finish you under 2 minutes. Even if you predicted them they still would be very difficult to survive.
Not only that, but Nuke China is bull shit, and Super Weapon USA are too hard to compete with in long games.

Back when I was a bioware drone and blindly bought everything they released I was paying 800 ms points for their 1 hour dragon age dlc. I did not want to realize I was getting ripped off, but bioware has kicked my head in so much with their crap lately I can't stand even thinking about them.
Just got the Ultimate Edition for the PS3 for £20 .... that was a bargain.imahobbit4062 said:
I just felt a bit ... let down, with the whole awakening thing when I got it when I had my 360.
I was expecting another massive game like Origins was for the price I paid but it didn't live up to the hype i'd placed on it.
I suppose it isn't a terrible expansion but, for me at least, it was just a bit disappointing. I was expecting more than it was so it was more my own fault for wanting too much I guess.
Any "map packs"- I don't know what halo/CoD/gears and the like are trying to pull, but 15 bucks for a handful of maps is imply not good value, regardless of the maps themselves. Even free it'd be a lackluster update to any game.
Operation Crimson Hammer for Spiral Knights was QUITE boring; the enemy density was all wrong and the enemies types they added were artificially frustrating to fight.
Finally the most recent update to portal 2 was rather meh- I'm all for custom maps but the fact you have to leave the game running to download any of them breaks the whole thing...

Yeah, definitely calling bullshit on that guy who did "everything" in DA:OA in "a couple hours". There's plenty of content there. I think I finished at around 15 hours. A couple of the other DA:O expansions were way dumber, especially the one that let you play as the monsters (whose names I've already forgotten.)
I hated most of the DLC for Fallout:New Vegas. I liked all of it for Fallout 3.

Age of Conan: Rise of the Dragonslayer
Completely broken, rediculous amount of griding required for anything and load times streaching up to 10 minutes.
Fuck was that expansion broken. First time I've ranted my ass off on a games forums.
