[Alcoholikaust]

Digital Premium Edition it is I guess.

EDIT:GOT DAYUM THATS STEEP. NOPE.

 

[Gamesgbkiller]

Here we go.....

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

No thanks.
I'll get PS4 version at launch, and PC GOTY version on deep discount. Just like all previous games

 

[pock3tmonster]

Nothing new. Arkham City and Arkham Origins both had Season Passes. Surely no one is honestly surprised by this?

 

[10k]

I want this as long as it has mostly story dlc and not bs costumes and stuff.

 

[Percy]

Surprised it took this long.

 

[Endless]

Digital Premium Edition it is I guess.

.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm gonna stick with the main campaign only. All the DLC stuff from previous Batman games sucked imo.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

And with that this became a GOTY Edition purchase for me.

 

[BossLackey]

*sigh*

 

[Ushojax]

 

[skynidas]

40 EUROS?? Holy shit that's too much

 

[FullMetaltech]

Man these season passes just dont go away already.

 

[strafer]

and the sky is blue

 

[Alienous]

Content for 6 months?

That's barely a selling point. So vague.

 

[loaf of bread]

Come on everybody! You know what this means, its time to gather 'round and be angry together! *rabble,rabble,rabble*

Spoiler

I don't care, I'll pick it up if the game is good. More content is always welcome.

 

[73V3N]

GOTY edition at 75% off on steam i guess

 

[Shauni]

Affirms my thought to wait for a GOTY edition. I know I'll be waiting, but I can live.

 

[Ricky_R]

Do we know who introduced this pass model?

 

[Jonbo298]

And with that this became a GOTY Edition purchase for me.

Yep, same here. I'm fine waiting however long it takes for that to happen.

 

[DrBo42]

"Regular new content for 6 months including: Story missions, super-villains and more."

I'm okay with them making this last if it's a large Gotham City. Seems logical seeing as it's their final game in this arc.

 

[OnionPowder]

Fuck it i'll just play the base game.

40 EUROS?? Holy shit that's too much

That is nuts. thats 2/3's of the game price.

additional villains invading??

 

[jesu]

Nice to know what is planned in advance.
The tweet is a bit vague though.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Think I'll wait for a cheap GOTY edition then

 

[Blueblur1]

lol perfect

 

[Arttemis]

Well shit. I'll do what I did with MKX, use Best Buy's GCU to get the game for $40, trade it in after a week for a full refund, then wait for the complete edition.

 

[Mendrox]

Yep, same here. I'm fine waiting however long it takes for that to happen.

And same here, but they won't care. People will buy this shit.


40 Euros?! What is wrong with WB? :-/ Fuck them.

 

[jelly]

I can't get my head around paying for unknown stuff.

 

[LiK]

not gonna fall for it. all their DLCs for previous Arkham games were crap.

 

[Oddduck]

I agree with some of the other comments in here. This is the kind of stuff that makes me wait for the GOTY edition.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Season pass before the game is even out... Sigh.

 

[Justified]

Its there any Online Multiplayer planned for this game?

If not I can wait for the complete edition

 

[Shift Breaker]

Good. Rather than all the DLC getting released individually and hoping that it all goes on sale, I can just wait for the season pass to go on sale and then get everything for half price

Or, I can just do what I did for the other three Arkham games and get the complete editions later on down the line.

 

[The Cowboy]

And the wait is on for the complete edition, its just my personal rule (announce a DLC pass before release = wait for the final version) - shame really as it looks neat, but its SP so i can wait.

 

[Loris146]

This price :

 

[OnionPowder]

not gonna fall for it. all their DLCs for previous Arkham games were crap.

Yep. I'm fine with just playing through the base game.

Season pass before the game is even out... Sigh.

Are they ever announced after a game comes out?

 

[Xav]

I see nothing wrong with a season pass so long as the base game feels complete and the DLC isn't a simply an unlock code.

With that said, I'm expecting some overpriced half assed content.

 

[Forkball]

When can I play as Superman?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Season pass before the game is even out... Sigh.

Not just content with everyone preordering the game. Gotta sign up for $40 worth of Season Pass that you have no idea what it will be!

 

[Hero Prinny]

Digital Premium Edition it is I guess.

Wow are you serious? Youre just blindly going to spend even more money on shit you dont even know what it is yet? I swear, ill necer understand the appeal for season passes

 

[Magwik]

Hold the fuck on, there's going to be race tracks in this game?

 

[TheSlySoul]

$40 Season Pass for a $60 game not even out.
Modern gaming everybody!

 

[glaurung]

£33 Season Pass? WTH?

What is in it, cocaine?

Spoiler

Might buy if the game turns out to be good.

Edit: WAIT WAIT RACE TRACKS? What the hell is this game, Driveclub with the Batmobile?

 

[Asd202]

This price :

LOL

 

[jelly]

Hold the fuck on, there's going to be race tracks in this game?

Code for a set of waypoints more like. So much effort.

 

[Messi]

Hold the fuck on, there's going to be race tracks in this game?

Riddler stuff is car based

 

[dex3108]

Suddenly Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Expansion Pass looks amazing.
