Popular Post arcanehornet_ Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 I’m just stating the obvious here. I know I am. But the season pass tactic used with this game pisses me off. They started by selling the “Super Deluxe” edition and a 50$ (Jesus christ!) season pass, which one would think will give you access to every DLC coming out. NOPE! They pulled the rug below everyone, and introduced a second DLC roadmap. So what is the issue? Existing season pass owners and “”Super Deluxe”” edition owners have to buy the new season pass for 30$!! They also introduced the “new” complete edition, which has both season passes. Absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I prefer microtransactions over this crap. 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sn1per666999 Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 The season pass promised 4 DLC's. They delivered that. It never meant that was all they would release. $50 is high though that's why I waited until it was $30. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean it’s okay to randomly make a second, lazier season pass to siphon more cash from customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to ignore it. Doesn't look like good DLC anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ The first Season Pass just about justified its existence but so far the second one has been completely worthless and the final DLC doesn't sound like it's going to be much better. The cosmetics though are hideously over priced for what they are and should have either been included with one of the Season Passes or patched in for free. I'm lucky I got the cosmetics for free with the Super Deluxe Edition but would have been really angry if I had bought them separately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Viper Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah I'm playing the waiting game for the Second season pass only because I want my 100% back on it....but I'm not paying anything close to $30 for that shit and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there's a third season pass coming because, frankly, I can't see content just stopping after the next one. I said from the very beginning that I imagined BL3 would get more DLC than BL2 ever did...I just didn't think Gearbox would get so predatory with it (I should have known better).

Are the first DLCs good though, at least? If not, that would make this excessive monetization even worse somehow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're slightly above meh at best with the Hammerlock DLC being the most interesting one but that's still a very low bar to gauge things on. Even at they're worst, the DLCs for BL2 and TPS are many times better than the crap we've received so far for BL3. Edited February 21, 2021 by HuntingFever Update.

Popular Post Bos10George Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 Gearbox has always been a slimy bunch, but they at least had a good game series in Borderlands. I stand by Day 1 buys being for a Company and not a game that you want to support. There are a lot of beloved series, but you need to look at who is behind the curtain. Does Gearbox, EA, Ubisoft, etc deserve for you to pay 3 times what a game is worth in DLC? Waitand they all get steeply discounted. That said, I feel like I came out on top so far. Bought the base game for $20 from Redbox before they shut down and the DLC for about that much as well. I will wait for this 2nd season pass to be discounted as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knicksrulez220 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I thought the Year 1 season pass was great. 4 separate campaign add-ons all with a different flair and new gear. Put a lot of hours into each one. The Year 2 season pass has been absolute trash. Arms Race is hot garbage. It actually could have been such a cool concept but Gearbox half-assed it. The only reason I played it more than once was for the stupid trophy where you have to extract 100 items. I highly doubt the second piece of this season pass can do anything to justify the $30 I spent... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr_0zt Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Season pass 2 is on sale!! Might buy it but my question is, will it cover future DLC? Heard there is a new one coming out soon (mid April). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-kicked-a-brit Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) On sale now until April 29th. Here’s the link to NA store. $20 for 6 trophies - 3 in each of the versions - is still not really worth it IMO. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1001-PPSA01462_00-BL3SEASONPASSCO2 Edited March 31, 2021 by i-kicked-a-brit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Could be worse, The Surge devs made a complete edition of the game, only to later on add a DLC not part of it and suddenly they came up with the word "augmented", or Final Fantasy 15 with Ardyn DLC not being part of the Royal edition. Buying DLCs looks more and more like a slot machine, where you need to be lucky the devs think enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard there is a new one coming out soon (mid April). The April DLC is included with the season 2 pass. But I think that's it. Anything after that would most likely be a season 3 I'm guessing.

sepheroithisgod Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) I'm honestly a bit surprised by the sale since the second DLC isn't even out yet.

Okonnardo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I try to avoid games with multiple season passes and tons of DLCs, feels really scammy... Base price for the 1st season pass is waaaaaay too high, I got the base game for half of Season Pass 1 price on sale, can we agree there's something wrong with marketing here? I'll make sure to avoid Gearbox published games in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm not paying more than $15 for the second season pass. Getting it 50% off at least means you're getting one whole DLC for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 season passes typically cover a season of dlc, and most games only get one season. doom eternal has a year 1 pass, I imagine it'll get another pass next year, same for zombie army 4 thats free with plus in april, the season pass gets you all the stuff they added post launch, but after thats up the rest costs more. I don;'t expect devs to continue working for free. an in the case of aombie army 4 and doom eternal it's been worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
