TheLoneliestPanda Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 So today we got the first look at the first few dlc for fallout 4. They also stated the season pass will be increased in price on March 1st, your thoughts on this?

Popular Post damon8r351 Posted February 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2016 Be interesting to see how many people get vocally annoyed by the season pass price increase for some other game, but mysteriously not so for their beloved Fallout game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyTonberry Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's annoying the season pass is going up in price but overall I'm excited for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruliya Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I got the SP when I got the game, I think it's bullshit they're putting the price up. £20 for a DLC pack, which a few years ago would have cost £12? Hell, I still think £25 for a SP is BS. But that's the normal price these days. Unless you're EA and like charging £60 for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splathew Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I all ready have the pass but it's kinda weak on their part. That said I'm really looking forward to some more content... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Maybe I'm having a "cynical bastard" day, but the SP price increase stinks of creating a sense of urgency to drive sales at the current price. Now they tell us that they have plans for more DLC than originally envisaged... But we have no way of knowing what was originally envisaged to check against, do we?

Radgeck Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Except the "Far Harbor" the others seems to not add any new map. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogunCroCop Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Looks like I should try and get the plat before the DLC hits, and I get so immersed in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I bought the game for $30 and with the season pass, it'll cost the same as the inevitable complete version, so I'll go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Speaking of being a cynical bastard, I think it's amusing that the general internet consensus consists of Fallout fans giving the token "In theory this is bullshit", but then they're spinning it into something positive by saying you're getting more stuff and that there's plenty of notice. It's like watching Fox News anchors at work, or that tapdance vocal Apple supporters have to do every time their favorite company is found doing something evil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shadiochao Posted February 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2016 Games developed by Bethesda tend to get GOTY editions eventually. I'll just rent that out when it inevitably comes. I can't help but feel this was their plan all along though, to get people to quickly buy up the DLC before it reaches an unreasonable price. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourAdultFriend Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It is a bit disappointing that they're increasing the season pass price, but seeing as how I know I will get my moneys worth for it still, and that the developers are making their intent clear, instead of making the season pass outrageously priced from the start and not creating enough content to make it worth it, I don't have much of a problem with it. Or maybe I'm just a blind fanboy and should be angry even though the circumstances for this is different to circumstances players have been angry about in the past, and my non-hatred for this somehow invalidates my criticism for other games that have had much worst business practices than this. or maybe they could come out tomorrow and say the the season pass will be $200 and I'd still buy it because I'm a dirty trophy whore and I'll need the stupid trophies to keep 100% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey everyone! I have an exciting new product for you! It's called, The Mystery Box. What's in The Mystery Box you ask? Why, that's what's special about it. You don't know yet. In fact, I'm not 100% certain either, I'm still deciding what to put in it (but I am working to a design brief, promise). Whatever goes into The Mystery Box, it'll be killer, and "more of the same" when stood next to that thing you already like, just with a few twists to keep things fresh. And, as an extra bonus, I've decided that I'm going to expand The Mystery Box. So you'll get even more stuff! (Because of this, I'm going to have to increase the price. Anyone who buys The Mystery Box now can do so for £25, but if you buy after 1 March 2016, it'll cost £40. So buy now to get access to the expanded Mystery Box for the current price.) So if you already liked what went into The Base Box, I urge you to buy The Mystery Box and continue to enjoy that thing you already like! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrickenBiged Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) ^The Boat is like a game that has released and been reviewed, has good word of mouth, etc. I.e. You know what you're getting into and that you will like it a lot. The Mystery Box is like a Season Pass (pre-release of any DLC) or a locked-in pre-order; every time you buy either you are running the risk of ending up like Peter Griffin.

RedRozeReaper Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hopefully Far Habour is pretty cool but its BS they are raising the price for the season pass. I still don't have the game and I don't think I'll buy the season pass just to get it at 30 dollars lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSHIRT64 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Adding more content than what was previously reported justifies the price increase. The fact that they are retaining the price through February and have acknowledged the price increase well in advance shows the company cares about its consumer base and does not want them to be blindsided. Everyone saying its BS that they are raising the price, I have to assume do not understand that rule #1 of a business is to make money. If you really want to hold them accountable then research their individual cash flows, how much money is profit versus R&D, Production, Manufacturing and Distribution costs. Again for those that are complaining about the price increase, I would have to assume that this research has already been done and it has been exposed that greedy Bethesda is just stealing from its gamers to line its own pockets with profits. Try thinking with the glass half full and see the positive in this announcement. If you cannot afford to spend the 30 bucks now or the 50 later then wait for the GOTY edition to come out.. most likely next year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullstomp Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I have a huge backlog I'm working through and am in no rush to complete my Fallout platinum collection. I'll wait till the game and all dlc is on a disc for $20. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they tell us that they have plans for more DLC than originally envisaged... But we have no way of knowing what was originally envisaged to check against, do we? Not cynical, my first thought was the same thing. Content is meant to reduce in price, not increase. It was bullshit when Dying Light did it and as much as I loved Fallout 4, it's still bullshit. Maybe if they were adding another two DLC packs, it "might" be acceptable. The Witcher 3 is the best example of paid DLC done right. Shame no ones taken it on board. Looks like I'll be waiting for the Ultimate Edition. Edited February 16, 2016 by MattyH16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 They didn't get any award las year so no Goty edition for a while That's not gonna stop them releasing an edition with the game + all DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Loved the DLC for Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but Fallout 4 had nothing on those games, so no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige-ID Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Every DLC ever released by Bethesda on Sony systems has caused the entire game to go to complete and total shit. Fallout 3 worked... somewhat fine at first, but the DLC just crippled it. The GOTY edition is practically unplayable and should not be allowed to be sold. New Vegas, though not Bethesda, was the exact same way. Skyrim was an epic disaster on PS3 for months and months with their DLC. If you're asking practically full MSRP of a retail game ($50), it better be close to a full retail game without any issues. I have a feeling they're riding the coattail of their own fame and success and realize that the Bethesda fans will buy whatever they shovel on a plate regardless of value or if it even works.

Scar-Vince Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Still 25 euro's until 1 march, so its not expensive. After these 3 dlc packs, there will be more, including 2 dlc packs who adds new maps. So overall the DLC is worth more than 50 euros , so buy it for cheap now. Because a goty is still far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
