I'm getting the game for free with my 660 ti so I'll buy the pass.

Borderlands 2 Season Pass Announced
- Thread starter Square Triangle
- Start date
I'm talking in generalities. The quality of Borderlands DLC is an outlier.

Pretty much this. It's an instant turnoff for me, and i can avoid games very easily due to my massive backlog.

I was in the crowd. They said 4 Campaign DLC's with 25% savings.
Mechromancer wouldn't make sense if they included it since people who preorder get it for free.

You could buy the game without the season pass and then not play the content you weren't planning on buying anyway.
That'd be better. I'd actually give a shit then.

I'm not a huge fan of season passes but I'll buy this one goddamnit.
Or buy it in a year for half the price with double the content
But then you have to wait an extra year for a (potentially) good game. Or if price was such a huge factor you could become a PC gamer and get it for almost half off 2 months before it even comes out.

If your problem is just wanting more for less, then that's literally every game that has ever existed and season passes don't exactly factor into it. I don't think Borderlands 2 will be the first game to ever have its price lower after its release date.
I was just saying that your suggestion would not be better for the guy than buying the GOTY version
Now usually I'd be pissed, then again, DLC is/ has to be planned before a game ships. Development and distribution is just more complicated these days. This shit can't be made entirely post release. Also note, the game has probably been "mostly" done for weeks or even months now. Waiting to start working on DLC until every bit of polish and certification was completed would be absurd. So in a way, you can tell yourselves that most of the DLC was, in fact, made after the game was completed
Anyway, this is fucking Borderlands. Of course there will be DLC. You'd be crazy not to think there wouldn't be any. Hell, they already announced the Mechromancer class, months ago. If the first game is any kind of indication...the DLC will be very good. This season pass will certainly be worth the investment, even without knowing exactly what we'll get.
Again, it's safe to say that every piece of content will be substantial. If you own the DLC for the first game, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Plus, Gearbox seems to know how to please their fans. Their good people and they seem to have a good relationship with their fans and know how to work things out with 2K, so that everyone wins.

Naughty Dog had a great season pass. Will buy this one. I love Borderlands!

Haha yeah. My purchase of the horrendous UC3 season pass has soured me on buying them. Even though I know GB won't screw us like ND did.
I don't necessarily think that this will be the case this time. Borderlands 2 is the epitome of a "lessons learned" sequel. They know their Moxxi DLC was shit. They won't repeat that mistake. Hell, the Moxxi DLC equivalent is already coming as a Gamestop preorder exclusive on day 1.
I fully expect 4 complete DLC content releases with none of them being a stupid arena fight sequence.

Seems like it makes more sense to wait for the Winter or Summer steam sales.
Yup, I'll probably wait for a GOTY edition. I got BL1 on the summer sale, and only dipped 6 or so hours into it. And I won't play half the DLC due to SecuROM and the limited installs, so it's even less worth to me.
The same happens for Quantum Conundrum. I could have bought the game for 15 bucks, but with all the DLC announced, I'll wait until the base game is 75% off, or maybe until they release a GOTY edition.
Same here.
Sure, if this is the first season pass you've ever heard of. This is pretty much exactly the same as every other season pass. Pay lots of money for stuff you don't know anything about yet.

After Saints Row the Third, I'm not buying season passes ever again. No matter how good the game is, the DLC can still disappoint, and buying it all without knowing isn't worth the risk.

Borderlands 1 had some of the best dlc this gen. Really glad they're doing this!

Gearbox has a very spotty track record when it comes to Borderlands DLC, so I wouldn't want to spend any money on a season pass unless they detail exactly what I'm paying for. And even then...

I'm just going to assume that every game from now on will have a season pass, and I will weep for the days when the game you bought was the complete game.

I'll wait for the inevitable $2 DLC sales on Steam.

Learned my lesson on the season pass with a couple of other games. Though Borderlands did have some excellent DLC.
Yeah that was what i was thinking, affection for Gearbox and Borderlands I guess. I think gamestop exclusive seems like it will be like Madd Moxxi DLC, which was the low point of Borderlands 1 DLC.

I actually think I'll just wait and see what the fuck I'd be buying before laying money down for it. I'll take a higher price if that's what it means, too.

I disliked 1 of the 4 DLCs from the first game, so that will make waiting easier. Plus I think we're all getting the Mechromancer free anyway, and a new playable class is definitely more enticing to me than new levels, although I loved them in the first game.
I won't be buying any more DLC bundles like this sight unseen again, Saint's Row 3 is still fresh in my mind. If they make something worth their asking price when it launches and I still want more content at that time, they'll have my money then.
And yeah like others earlier mention, Steam sales will probably net me a solid deal on the lot anyways if I wait for it.

You can still buy season passes after the DLC is released right? I think I'll make my decision on whether or not to buy it then. The GOTY Edition of Borderlands 1 was well worth it with Mad Moxxi being the only weak link in all the downloads so it's not like I expect these next four to be bad. I'm just not sure if i'll ever be okay spending before I get it.
Uh what? The DLC for borderlands was pretty weak.
And I'll just say it: the drops still sucked!

I have question for BL2 season pass, becuase I'm not sure if I will buy season pass and wait for sales.
1) Is those season pass included mechromancer dlc?
2) Those 4 DLC are not announced yet right? (not those pre-order dlcs such as dome and m-mancer)

Bought. But they better not give us one Mad Moxxi type dlc pack.

No it wasn't. It was some of the absolute best DLC we've had all gen.
