DLC - Worth It?

It's currently -15% but not sure if they'll do some sort of Black Friday deal to buy them all.
Haven't played Planet Coaster for a long time but having new items might peak my interest again.
Or do I just buy Jurassic World? :S

Well for me it was worth every Penny, but that is just me. I can't make that decision for you. You have to judge yourself, by looking at what those Packs offer. They might drop Prices around Christmas, but i don't know.

With every update, Frontier goes out of their way to state how the paid DLC does not add new gameplay and how it is completely optional. So if you've lost interest in the game now, the DLC will probably not help you there. It will not add new challenges or address any of the outstanding issues and design flaws.

Also, don't wait for a deeper discount, the game goes on sale quite regularly and it's always the same pattern: 60% off the base game, 15% for all the DLC except the latest, 0% for the licensed construction kits. Instead, wait for the community to pick up the ThemeMaker Toolkit and see how the new (free) user-made content works out. You can then always decide to purchase some official DLC in the next sale.

I bought it as it was released so it’s hard to comment on overall cost as it was drip fed. I actually saved money as I bought DLC instead of a new game. Some offer amazing value (adventure pack, vintage), others offer good versatility (spooky) whilst some did fall flat (worlds fair).

I would load up a sandbox and spin through the items - I believe you can browse the items that will be available but just can’t save a park / blueprint with them in (please correct me if I’m wrong). That way you can ensure you’re getting the ones you really want.

Thanks for the balanced views.
I have a free £30 to spend on Steam but there's so many games that I thought perhaps buying some DLC for the ones I have might be a better option.

I'll probably grab the 15% off ones now and just have 'em.

so worth it!!! I use them non stop. I can’t imagine not having them. I’ve never seen them more than 15% off so if it were me I would snatch them up. Before the first dlc came out I thought it seemed like a lot of money but after using the items in them it seemed like it was a very small price to pay. It makes the game so much better. I hope u can get them you’d enjoy it.

Worth it to me even the ones I was super excited about.

I have no idea if they will do a sale or not. Frontier plays it pretty close to the chest but if they didn't put it all on sale for the 2nd anniversary don't know if they would do B Fri since they aren't US based.

Any history of Black friday sales from them?
