oki just got it, it does give the dlc. pretty big file sizes about 8g each. the only thing it dont give is liberty pack dlc, combat pack dlc, guerilla care dlc, wing skull dlc which looks like a bunch of skins and extra shit for co op

yep, but to be fair homefront the revolutions dlc is one of the best parts of the game mostly the 3rd main one, I still need to get back to the game at some point as I liked it a lot just I didn't go back to finish it as the games save data broke on me


OMG! Just went back to check. I was able to download "Beyond the Walls" for free. After i bought the pass, it only showed the first 2 expansion for download after the checkout when i press download all.


The start of a game has to be punchy and engaging in a way that draws players into the story as well as the gameplay. Many great games start off with a great first level or mission that sets the tone for the rest of the campaign. When a game follows up a great first section by building on its foundations, something truly special is created.


Sometimes, though, that fantastic first section fizzles out throughout the rest of the game, leaving the player to wonder what happened to the fun time they started out with. Still, many of those opening levels are worth revisiting, if only to savor what could have been.


Steampunk London where The Knights of the Round Table battle to save the city from werewolves created an intriguing premise that absorbs the player into the world right from the start. The opening hour of The Order: 1886 rendered this fictional history in beautiful detail and was a standout in showcasing what the PS4 was capable of.


After the first section, however, the gameplay turned rote and dull as the cover-shooting mechanics and quick-time events were repetitive and forgettable. Still, it's worth playing those tense opening sections to experience the world.


Any time a game flips the player into the villain in the opening hours, it sets up an immediately engaging twist. Indigo Prophecy opens the game with this premise, having the player commit murder in a restaurant restroom during the opening scene. The narrative is then flipped even further when the player realizes their character is possessed, which is what causes the violent outburst.


The game could not keep the intrigue afloat through poor graphics and a fizzling storyline that leaves the player unfulfilled. While Quantic Dream would later develop more engaging games, they fell short with this one.


Speaking of playing the villain in opening hours, The Force Unleased puts players in the boots of one of the most influential villains of all time: Darth Vader. Storming a Wookie camp as the Sith Lord is empowering and frightening as the player knows they are effectively tracking down themselves. Vader's powers are on full display, mercilessly tearing through enemies using all forms of Sith Force powers.


After this bombastic opening, players take control of a young force-sensitive apprentice named Galen, who begins his own journey with the force, leaving the player feeling stripped of their recent power.


Establishing a game world where the situation feels dire and the community around the main character could collapse at any moment is important in a post-war, revolutionary game. Homefront: The Revolution achieves this by having the player's established group of resistance fighters be caught by the KPA early in the game. They then have to fight to find a new community, being attacked and tortured along the way.


Wearing its God of Warinspirations on its sleeve, Dante's Inferno mimics those games by starting with a grim storyline wherein the titular character fights and defeats death itself. He then vows to create his own crusade against Lucifer and dives into a crack in the earth to fight his way through the layers of hell. Based on a great epic, the introduction to the game promises to live up to the more modern interpretation of the term.


Bringing Id Software into the 7th generation, Rage established a Mad Max-like world where lawlessness ruled the land and the player should fear the mutated people that walked the surface. In the opening hour, the player is abruptly woken from cryo-sleep to this long-established wasteland, and fear of the unknown embeds itself into the main character as well as the player.


Coming to realize they need to escape an eerie society where aesthetics are stuck in the 60s and every citizen is force-fed a drug that makes them happy is an exciting premise rife with tension and paranoia. The main character in We Happy Few finds themselves on the run early on, with the opening hours taking place in a retro office where fun birthday decorations are juxtaposed with brutally violent imagery.


The moody black-and-white presentation of The Saboteur captures the themes of living within Nazi-occupied France in the 1940s. Starting the game with rendered in full color further highlights what it lost when France falls to the Axis power. Players are driven to restore their home to its vibrant history and are willing to fight the Nazis using whatever means to do so.


A solid power-filled opening often establishes what the player can expect by the time they reach the end game. Prototype opened with an action-packed, chaotic start where the player had incredible powers that allowed them to rip through the city on the way to their objective. Soaring above buildings, ripping apart tanks, and obliterating enemies let the player know they were in store for an intense experience.


Promising to let players develop entire civilizations over the course of their campaign, Spore was supposed to bring the concept of evolution to life in a spectacular and granular fashion. From the start, players create the earliest single-cell version of what would become their creature species, and floated through the ocean, devouring other lifeforms and absorbing their abilities.
