Azaan60 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/28/8507613/batman-arkham-knight-season-pass Looking forward to playing Batman: Arkham Knight? Sure, we are too! That'll be $60. What's that, you want to play all of Arkham Knight? Well, that'll be $100. What, you didn't think you were going to get the whole game for $60 did you? What do you think this is, 2013? Warner Bros. announced today that a season pass for Arkham Knight will be offered for $39.99. For six months after release, pass holders will get "new story missions, additional super-villains invading Gotham City, legendary Batmobile skins, advanced challenge maps, alternative character skins, and new drivable race tracks" strung out over the six months following release. Value-conscious gamers also have the option of the $99.99 Premium Edition, which includes the game and the season pass, a savings of no money whatsoever. I'll just wait for a GOTY/Complete edition. This isn't terribly surprising since WB Games did the exact same thing with Shadow of Mordor, but it's still kind of dissapointing.

Popular Post Remilia Scarlet Posted April 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2015 This is ridiculous. Who do they think we are? Christian Bale? Not everybody has money like that. I miss the days when games were $50 tops, and you could still take yourself out to a nice dinner. Nowadays they seem determined to suck you dry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0nst3rG4m3r007 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 How to make me not buy your game 101 by Warner Bros... http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/28/8507613/batman-arkham-knight-season-pass I'll just wait for a GOTY/Complete edition. This isn't terribly surprising since WB Games did the exact same thing with Shadow of Mordor, but it's still kind of dissapointing. Same here I'll be waiting until a reasonable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieroV_86 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 first i want to see all this "features". i think that after six months we all be able to purchase them separately (i don't mind about skins but those drivable race tracks...) $40 is approximately €35.. and that's a lot!

soniq Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's not cheap, but I pretty much expect to pay €100 for a game including season passes nowadays when I get them day 1. Still cheaper than some Super NES games back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonofifa Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Any game is 100 dollars here if you put the currency over to dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJacs2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I love how the game and pass separate are $59.99+$39.99=$99.98, and the premium edition is $99.99. You would actually save one cent not getting the premium edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrickenBiged Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm still getting the base game, but will wait for the SP to go on a significant sale and for the details of what I'll actually get for my money before buying that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I miss the days (early 90's) when I got paid $4.25 an hour and the whole game was $60 and it only took 12-14 hours to complete. Ah, the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaan60 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Any game is 100 dollars here if you put the currency over to dollars. Arkham Knight costs $119 over here at EBgames and that's just the standard edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I am actually cool with this. I have zero problem paying for content from a company that has proven itself to release good quality game content. It isn't like we aren't in safe hands with Rocksteady or that we'll be getting a few pointless skins for the asking price. Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are excellent value for money as they stand. Then again, If I didn't have enough money to cover the season pass as well as the game, I would probably be moaning about it as well. So, different perspectives, I guess.

Arkthur Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I just care for the add-ons with trophies, all those skins don't matter to me. And like someone said, by the time I'll buy the game, the GOTY edition might be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Disappointing. I will keep my preorder, but I won't get the pass until it's on sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Fucking overpriced imo and to buy standard edition here in Australia is $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
