Well, Zero Dawn 2 isn't going to make itself really.I guess this means no more DLC...
Really cool cover though.
It comes with the DLC so why not?They announced the Complete Edition before the DLC is even out?
I like how the dino on the right is like Ooy, the ell she doin up there, bruv? And the left one is like Forget er mate, we got robot shit goin on.
Horizon came out in February, the DLC is coming out in November, and the complete edition is in December. The DLC is almost 9 months after the game released and the complete edition is almost 10, so idk what you're even talking about.So tired of this trend.
Base Game - Released
DLC - Released a month later
COMPLETE GOTY EDITION - Released 6 months later
Horizon and Nioh are both guilty of this.

People like that cover!!? It looks hilariously bad to me.
It's a shame people can't see the point I'm trying to make due to exact dates not being applied.
Games release, then release DLC and then release COMPLETE Edition well within 12 months of the base game's release. This wasn't entirely aimed at Horizon, which I even said. Nioh has done the same thing, for example.
To me this just comes across as content removed to be added as DLC, so publishers can effectively charge you twice (maybe in three times) for one IP (Base+DLC (+Complete/GOTY)). However, judging by people's 'LOL' replies, I'm guessing I'm the only one that feels this way so whatever.

I already own Horizon. I'm not buying this. I will just get the DLC separately.It's a shame people can't see the point I'm trying to make due to exact dates not being applied.

I've been holding off, so this is perfect depending on the price

How long do you think it takes to make these DLCs? When you already have all the assets of the main game ready to build off, it's not like it's going to take two years after the game launches to make an expansion. Having separate paid DLC ready for launch or very shortly afterward is another story, but we're talking about an expansion released nine months after launch here. And considering that the original game wasn't lacking in content at all, I really don't share your feeling here.

First thanks for the decent reply.
I mean that's fair enough, and I can't stress that this wasn't entirely aimed at Horizon, but I can see why people will think it is since it's in a thread about it. Perhaps I've got it wrong on Horizon, but in general I still feel the same way. The push to get 'DLC' out and then a 'Complete GOTY' version to extend the life of a game is becoming shorter and shorter, and far too common.
Horizon Complete Edition
Nioh Complete
RE7 'Gold'
Granted if this is a BIG expansion and not a 15-20 minute fluff piece then fair play.

Yeah, perhaps I picked the wrong thread to air my jaded attitude in. It also allows them to extended the price point of the game in some ways too, buffing it back to $60 (which I guess discounts the DLC). Anyway, enjoy your game folks!
It's honestly been pretty common for a while - see the longtime phenonemon of the 'game of the year edition.' Devs generally want to reserve about a 1-year timeline for DLC (while people still have copies of the game and haven't traded it in) and release a 'game of the year'/'complete' edition while it's still fresh in the minds of consumers, then move on to developing the next game.
I'll counter this by saying that internet culture has made it harder for single-player focused games to stay relevant for that long. It's literally like one or two weeks after release that you'll see people discussing what should be in a sequel for a game like this. It certainly doesn't help that GaaS titles have frequent updates that keep the conversation going.
So tired of this trend.
