I was noticing that I tend to buy all iterations of a game over DLC for the most part.
For example:
- Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate then Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round
- Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition then Ultra Street Fighter IV
- Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- then Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-
- BlazBlue Chronophantasma then BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend
- Persona 4 Arena then Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
- Arcana Heart 3 then Arcana Heart 3 Love Max!!!!!
- Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 then Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
- Mortal Kombat X then Mortal Kombat XL
- Etc., etc..
It is interesting to point out that in many cases getting the new game tends to be cheaper than getting all the DLC separately.
There are exceptions where the game releases with both versions, like it is the case of Darius Burst Another Chronicle, and Darius Burst Chronicle Saviours, where both iterations were released as one single game, but that's actually very rare.
Or there are also games where the immediate sequel is pretty much an upgraded version of the first like:
- Going from The King Of Fighters XII to The King Of Fighters XIII
- Going from Sanctuary Battle to Brave Soldiers to Soldier's Soul
- Going from Gran Turismo 5 to Gran Turismo 6
- Going from Grid 2 to Grid Autosport
- Going from F1 2014 to F1 2015 to F1 2016...
- Going from PES 2014 to PES 2015 to PES 2016...
- Etc., etc..
In many cases the new game is completely redesigned so that also factors into consideration, specially for sports games, but for the most part it's pretty much an upgraded version that could easily be just released as a patch instead of substituting the game entirely with a Complete Edition, a GOTY Edition, an Ultimate Edition, or even a sequel.
Nowadays we are seeing patches that change the game as a whole as seen with No Man's Sky. So as technology and business models change I wonder how viable and wanted is this route to better your game experience.
Although for the games I mentioned here I also end up buying the DLC, but that's just me being a dumbass.
