00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're counting down our picks for the 10 Most Disappointing

00:16Video Game DLCs.

00:34Horse Armor, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Apart from being one of the most infamous

00:47pieces of DLC ever, the Horse Armor was also the progenitor for disappointing ludicrous

00:53DLC.

00:54Sure, nowadays the thought of paying a few bucks for cosmetic goodies is normal, albeit

00:59annoying.

01:00However, Oblivion's Horse Armor was the exception, not the rule back in 2006.

01:04If you wanted your trusty steeds to look a bit more bougie, then you had to cough up

01:08a few dollars of your hard-earned cash.

01:11Your horses could be decked out in either steel or dwarven armor for that extra fanciness

01:16and an extra boost of protection as you wander around Cyrodiil.

01:20Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy that $20 Fortnite skin.

01:32My First Pet Stuff, The Sims 4 Do you want some DLC for your DLC?

01:43If that sounds like you, then get your wallet ready because The Sims 4's My First Pet

01:47Stuff DLC is ready to loot you of $10.

01:51Now the average player might assume that the Cats and Dogs expansion, sold separately,

01:55would kindly include the content of the My First Pet Stuff DLC.

01:59However, think again, this is EA we are talking about after all.

02:03If you wanted to get your grubby mitts on some new pets and some extra crap for your

02:07pets, then My First Pet Stuff truly has it all.

02:10The thought of buying this extra DLC in addition to the expansion in addition to the base game

02:15is truly greedy.

02:16Thanks EA, I didn't want that money anyway.

02:24Lost on Mars, Far Cry 5 Far Cry 5's Lost on Mars DLC isn't disappointing

02:39in the way many other DLCs on this list are.

02:42This is one of those DLCs that just doesn't live up to its predecessors, namely Far Cry

02:473's Blood Dragon expansion.

02:49Now it could be unfair to compare the two, however it's hard not to do so given the

02:53sci-fi similarities.

02:55Lost on Mars sees Nick Rye and Herc battle it out against some menacing alien spiders

02:59on Mars.

03:01Now it's an intriguing enough premise, but the overall package just fails to deliver

03:05on the exploration, action, or humor.

03:07The new Mars open world area is just too small for its own good, and there isn't enough

03:12to see and do to justify a purchase, again especially compared to the off-the-wall behemoth

03:17that was Blood Dragon.

03:19You'll have a bit of fun with the new alien weapons and the robot for hire, pal, but it's

03:23all just too shallow overall.

03:34Frame Data, Tekken 7 The fighting game genre often feels impenetrable

03:48given the high skill ceiling and intense fan bases for many of its games.

03:53One area where rabid fighting games fans can hone their skill is through the use of frame

03:57data.

03:58Frame data helps players to know what advantage or disadvantage they have after utilizing

04:02a particular movement, combo, attack, or ability in regards to hits and blocks.

04:07It's a tactic players can use to learn their given fighter and thus gain the upper edge

04:11in battle.

04:12So, you might assume, surely any fighting game would simply include this frame data

04:17free, right?

04:18Well, in the case of Tekken 7, it has to be purchased as DLC, much to the annoyance and

04:23aggravation of fans.

04:24I mean, come on Bandai Namco, this is a low blow indeed.

04:39Peril of Gorgon The Outer Worlds

04:49Much like Far Cry 5's Lost on Mars DLC, The Outer Worlds' Peril of Gorgon DLC is

04:54lacking in almost every area, especially considering how robust the main game is.

04:59Peril of Gorgon thrusts players onto the planet of Gorgon in hopes of solving a mysterious

05:04conundrum.

05:05While Gorgon is a somewhat unique place to check out, at least for a little while, it

05:09quickly becomes apparent that this DLC feels underbaked, underwhelming, generic, and just

05:14downright disappointing.

05:15The characters aren't all that interesting, the story beats fall flat, and the new weapons,

05:20while interesting somewhat, don't hold a candle to the base game's weapons.

05:24Peril of Gorgon is a prime example of more of the same, and isn't worth the full price

05:28of admission.

05:46Kingdom Hearts 3 Here's something that you don't typically

06:01hear Kingdom Hearts fans say, yeah, this narrative definitely makes sense.

06:05Convoluted, messy, confusing, cryptic are all typically the words you actually hear

06:09when discussing this beloved RPG series.

06:12One would hope that when Kingdom Hearts 3 was receiving DLC, it would possibly help

06:17to add content that better explains the overall story.

06:20Nope, it didn't do that.

06:22We got Remind instead, a piece of story-based DLC that throws narrative sense right out

06:27of the window.

06:28Kingdom Hearts 3 is already a weaker entry in the series, and Remind didn't help here.

06:32For brevity's sake, Remind seeks to tell a parallel tale to the climax of Kingdom Hearts

06:373, where Sora hopes to rescue Kairi from the Keyblade Graveyard.

06:41Remind just sort of feels unnecessary, leaving fans with more questions than answers.

06:57All the DLC, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a brilliant Dungeons

07:12and Dragons-inspired spin-off of the Borderlands series.

07:15Taking cue from Borderlands' Tiny Tina, Wonderlands is a thoroughly enjoyable high-fantasy

07:20romp through an over-the-top world where you must stop an evil dragon lord.

07:25It's a great experience that combines the loot-driven shenanigans and humor-infused

07:29madcaps of Borderlands with all the D&D goodness you could want.

07:33However, sadly, Wonderlands' DLC, yes, all of it, rolls a natural 1 on the D20.

07:39It's not that it's the worst DLC out there, it just pales in comparison to the base game,

07:44and ends up feeling incredibly disappointing and repetitive.

07:48Each one lacks the whimsy, charm, and humor of the base game, on top of feeling meager,

07:52with poorly designed areas, very few new enemies, and no new gameplay innovations to

07:57enchant you, with each episode more or less feeling the same as the last.

08:01Spread across multiple episodes such as shattering spectroglass, molten mirrors, and coiled captors,

08:07only Tina's Wonderlands' DLC are an easy miss.

08:23The Taken King might just be the most on-the-nose description

08:44for DLC, given that it quite literally took away much-loved content from the base game

08:49while adding in the new stuff.

08:51Now, it needs to be acknowledged that The Taken King is a truly fantastic piece of DLC

08:56in terms of lore and gameplay mechanics that helped Destiny rise to the top.

09:00However, when all of the shiny new good things lock out content for those who simply want

09:04to continue to enjoy the base game, well, that's majorly disappointing to say the least.

09:09The Taken King locked out huge parts of the base game, since it changed up the game's

09:13structure for the DLC.

09:15Things like the Nightfall missions, heroic strikes, and certain Crucible match types

09:19became inaccessible to those unable or unwilling to spend the extra coin for The Taken King.

09:36From Ashes, Mass Effect 3

09:43Everyone loves when important narrative-based content gets locked behind a paywall, right?

09:47That sounds like something players would definitely love.

09:49Well, EA are back at it again, surprise surprise.

09:53Yes, we all know by now that Mass Effect 3's vanilla ending was lackluster and highly disappointing,

09:58especially for those who watched their Commander Shepard grow and augment over the previous

10:02two games.

10:03But come on, making players open their wallets just to get a better quote-unquote ending

10:08that conclusively wraps things up?

10:10Well, that's absurd on so many levels, but that's just what Mass Effect 3 did in the

10:15form of the From Ashes DLC.

10:29True Ending, Asura's Wrath

10:30Gosh, this one really, really hurts.

10:41While Asura's Wrath might not be a household game for many, the 2012 title was heralded

10:46for its overall enjoyable story, intense battles, and over-the-top set-piece moments.

10:51However, the packed-in ending to Asura's Wrath left things on a cliffhanger with the

10:55good ol' to-be-continued text.

10:57So if you actually wanted to get the intended true ending, then you needed to pay up or

11:02miss out.

11:03Greedy greedy.

11:04It's the fact that players needed to purchase this DLC in order to get the full grasp of

11:08the game's narrative, even though it could have easily been included.

11:12That truly makes it and takes the disappointing cake here.

11:15Manipulating fans of your game to cough up more money just to get the true ending is

11:18nefarious indeed, and deeply disappointing.

11:33So do you agree with our picks for this list?

11:35What video game DLC did you find to be disappointing?
