Games where DLC ruined my S-Rank

Well, to fair this is technically not true. Since I game on the PS3, I don't have any S-Ranks on Giant Bomb. For whatever asinine reason, Sony won't let sites like GB uses trophy data in the same way that Microsoft allows third parties to use Achievements. Actually, if you want to be super technical, I had a whole bunch of S-Ranks for about a day or so when GB tracked trophies. Whatever.

Burnout Paradise

1. Burnout Paradise

I got the extra trophies for the free bike pack, but I wasn't interested in playing for the extra game modes, toy car versions of the regular cars or overpowered unbalanced frankencars. I totally bought the legendary cars pack though. Dude, you get a freakin' DeLorean!

Resident Evil 5

2. Resident Evil 5

I think that a lot of people are the same boat as me on this. The DLC was totally not in line with the rest of the game, and wasn't prepared to cough up money for content that was already on the disc.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

I can't really fault Uncharted 2 for this. I really respect how Naughty Dog said that they wanted to make the platinum achievable and deliberately left out all but the most basic multiplayer trophies. Also, since there are new trophies for the new online stuff, it has gotten me back into playing it online, and I'm having a blast!

Borderlands

4. Borderlands

I loved this game, and I also liked the first and third pieces of DLC, but from everything I've heard, Mad Moxxi is terrible and offers nothing a max level player such as myself.

Dragon Age: Origins

5. Dragon Age: Origins

I picked this on Boxing Day for $40, and played the shit out of. Two full playthroughs (67 and 45 hours each), and then about half a day of glitching to max out my third character. Seeing as how I got so much from that original $40 purchase, the DLC and the Awakenings just don't seem like good value. Plus, I'VE SPENT OVER 100 HOURS PLAYING THIS GAME! I need to stop!

Dante's Inferno

6. Dante's Inferno

Shitty game which I rented, and played only for the trophies. Not paying extra for a few more bronze trophies.

Dark Void

7. Dark Void

Ugh, this game really bummed me out. So many good ideas marred by tech issues. Anyway, I played through the game once, got everything but once of the trophies wouldn't pop, so I had to delete everything, play through a second time, and then grind this one area for about 5 hours for enough upgrade points to try and get the glitched trophy. Anyway, DLC then came out that ruined my S-Rank.
