Question in the title. Sims games don't count because of the infamy and neither do the ones for Rollercoaster Tycoon as they don't add a single thing as far as I can see.

I didn't like the GTA IV DLC either. The whole biker theme didn't really appeal to me and I only finished the game because Jonny reminded me of Francis from Left 4 Dead.

Wrath of the Lich King. I cancelled my subscription to WoW because its so stupid. Every expansion its basically just a resart of the game. Nothing really new.

Don't mean to defend WoW or anything....but I think Lich King added lots of new things compared to BC

Sad thing is, I was dumb enough to pay for those things. Yes, both the Armored Fury and Euro Forces packs. I was a huge BF2 player back in the day, but can't stand to play the game anymore. I think I was so caught up in the hype (and fell head-over-heels for the demo) that I saw more in the game than what was actually there.

Ugh. Bad memories of my own stupidity.

World Of Warcraft Expansion packs. They just ruin the game more and more. Could've done it with updates or something.

I quit when Burning Crusade came. It was awful. Not even gonna find out how much Wotlk sucks.

Also BF2 expansion were pretty bad.

That was only an April Fool's prank. BTW, Oblivion IV? Isn't it "TES IV"? It is, actually.

I had no problem with the BF2 packs, though mainly because I got the complete collection for just 7.50 (BF2, SF, AF, EF in one boxset). Nothing to complain about at that price. Horse armour in Oblivion is probably the stupidest piece of sold content, though fortunately for PC gamers most of the really rubbish DLC that is sold on consoles never makes it to PC as something they could charge for - anyone fancy buying costumes for a fighting game? Nope thought not :P

Well I actually like the WoW expansions. BC was fairly good because it at least added new races and let ally play shaman and horde play paladin. Yes I know, it made pre-BC content obsolete, but since WoW is so gear based, that is bound to happen anyway. At least now they have the achievement system to give some incentive to visit old instances. As for WotLK, it didn't add very much to the game. Most of the important stuff was added in the patch before WotLK ever launched. The only thing adding a WotLK key to your account does is let you level to 80 and create a Death Knight if you have a character 55 or over. That being said, I like the WotLK story, atmosphere, and setting far better than BC content. Some people don't like change, but I really can't imagine still playing WoW as Pre-BC. It would have gotten far too stale for me, even if they did add new raids and whatnot. The main problem I think people have is they worked hard on their rep grinds only to have new reps to grind. And their shiny raid gear was obsolete.

Operation Anchorage anyone? Making Fallout an on-rails shooter is the stupidest idea ever.

Perseus Mandate for F.E.A.R. Ruined the great game.

The expansion for Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. The single player part of it only let you walk around the ship without anything really to do.

I liked both expansions....although now I don't have the time to invest in it. But I didn't like the Death Knight thingy..... now you see 1000000 DK running around. With WOtLK they should have added 2 more races for each side.... (with DK included)

Phasing alone makes WotLK a great xpack. There was way more new stuff in Wrath than there was in BC. BC was a ruddy xpack, but WotLK really is great.

Well, I agree for the most part, as personally, I think it was just Blizzard trying to be lazy when it came to balance issues (which they still can't seem to get right). However, at the very least, it got the masses to quit crying about Horde/Ally being completely unbalanced because of Shaman/Pally. I got tired of hearing those complaints. But the complaints still go on, just now it's Class X is OP.

This one is hard since their are so many. But I would say teh armor for the horse in Oblivion. Just because you can't fight on the horse.

I don't have an all time stupidest exapansion but I do know of a few contender.

  • Mask of the Betrayer because it broke the core game.
  • Perseus Mandate just for being generally lame.
  • Almost all of the Sims 2 expansions for their blatent commercialism.
  • Throne of Bhaal for being more Icewind Dale then Baldur's Gate III.
  • UT3's Titan Pack& Patch 4 for not adding anything interesting and reintroducing a bug that was fixedvia an earlier patch.

You have some nerve dissing ToB -- most people think it's one of the best EPs ever! I'm not attacking you; it's jsutr interesting. Also, how did Mask of the Betrayer break the gameplay exactly>
