diskdocx Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) The DLC for this game has been so expensive, but I saw a good deal on the base game. Went to check on the DLC pricing, and none of it shows up in the Canadian store now? Season pass and complete editions aren't there either. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-ca/search/q=doom In the UK store they show up as not available to purchase https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-gb/search/f=^doom|bucket~games I was hoping that there would be a complete edition/GOTY version on disc, but that's looking unlikely.

30 Year Old Boomer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I just checked the US store and there's no DLC listed as well. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It's delisted on steam and Xbox too, it seems. Maybe their gonna pull a Titanfall and make it free for everyone? Who knows lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah, I looked earlier on when I saw the topic. The DLC is there, but says it can't be purchased now, not unless you own the Season Pass, and the Season Pass in question is no longer on the store. So wonder what's going on there, especially when I haven't even gotten around to getting the DLC for the game to 100% it (whenever that was going to be x.x).

Rowdi Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 @diskdocx I bought the complete edition when it was on sale last December for $30. I think I've seen it go on sale one other time since then. There isn't really that much to it. I hope, for your sake, they relist it. Just know that the servers were dead when I played it 6-7 months ago.

Bullstomp Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If I recall correctly Doom was the first game released by Bethesda without giving a "first look" to reviewers before selling to the public. It was supposed to be some bold move by the company. Guess it didn't do as well as they hoped. Of course, if they really wanted to test such a theory they should have tried with a brand new IP. The fact they failed with the Mack daddy of all FPSs explains why I haven't heard anything more about this strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the multiplayer kind of sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the price didn't help. The DLC was almost as much as the original game. If this is removed, then I may just rent the base game and play it on an alt account. Otherwise I'll just skip it completely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the DLC was a big waste of money considering it's basically just "trying" out new costumes and monsters for a bunch of easy trophies. Quite frankly I don't care about the DLC, but I would like to platinum this game in the coming months and I don't know if people still play multiplayer in the base game. It's still mostly single player, but you're required to play a little multiplayer if you want the platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzagabowza Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hopefully it does go free. I have the plat but I'd like the 100% to go with it. No way am I spending the ridiculous amount for the dlc that they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggypossum Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I didn't get the season pass, so if all 3 dlc's are free now I'll check 'em out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would have done something for those of us that bought it, that might be different (Like Battleborn did) but fuck them if they just make it free for everyone without doing anything for those that bought it (oooh, the option to give up, or keep what we paid for with DLC unlocks...) I'm happy for those who will get it free, but it's a huge slap in the face for us that paid. Honestly, this DLC should have been free from the get go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 This really sucks for those that paid for the DLC. It should have been free from the get go Better yet, if we're going to be honest, this game should not have had MP to begin with. Doom has always been a great SP experience, and the recent Wolfenstein reboot should have been proof that a solid SP FPS could still sell well. MP is expensive to develop and maintain, and not every game needs it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Great for those that were patient and didn't buy the season pass. Sucks for those that did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer0004 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I just played the MP for a couple of minutes but now, with all dlcs coming to everybody, I might check it out again. As far as I read the trophies correct, they don't seem to hard or time consuming and the "low" achievement percentage is to the lower amount of people owning the dlcs i guess, right?

IDiivil Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hey, at least we got to enjoy the season of exciting multiplayer matches with our cool exclusive demons, armor pieces and emotes! Seriously though, I do wonder if anyone bought these DLC for anything else than the trophies. The multiplayer for Doom was dead from the release. I think any time a new DLC released and I was doing the trophies, there was like one lobby up. I guess they figured the only people who actually would want to buy the DLC were people interested in 100% trophies, and many of those people would be waiting for a 80%+ off sale anyway. Probably makes more sense to just throw the DLC in as a freebie to attract some new peopel to buy the game or whatever. Of course it's not very nice towards those people who actually bought the season pass, but it's not exactly the first move of that kind from Bethesda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the season pass for 10€ a couple months ago when it was on sale and I just feel scammed and screwed now. That sale was a nasty moneygrab by Bethesda, knowing that they would put the DLC for free the following month. Season pass holders should be compensated in some way, at least in-game items. I can't even think of how people who actually paid the full price are feeling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
