How about no?

I'll buy the base game and then get the seasons pass in a steam sale or get the goty edition on sale at a later date.

Ridiculous pricing.

 

[johnny956]

Content for 6 months?

That's barely a selling point. So vague.

If it's anything like the focus group I went to its weekly updates

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ugh. I guess this doesn't come in the LE?

 

[Ushojax]

The Season Pass is priced at £32.99 and the Premium Edition, which includes both the Season Pass and the main game, is priced at £87.98 for console, and £67.98 for PC.

what a savings

 

[Pie and Beans]

We want one-hunnard, bitch. Up front. You won't find a finer videogame experience.

(I hope the last bastions of game rental never die)

 

[Hamster Plugin]

€40 game and another €40 for the DLC. Lol no, waiting for sale on the DLC.

 

[funkystudent]

"priced at £87.98 for console, and £67.98"


How the heck are they justifying that £20 price gap between platforms?


The Console makers cut aint that deep

 

[Arttemis]

The Batman™: Arkham Knight Season Pass will deliver regular new content for six months post-launch including new story missions, additional super-villains invading Gotham City, legendary Batmobile skins, advanced challenge maps, alternative character skins, and new drivable race tracks. The Batman™: Arkham Knight Premium Edition includes the main game and the Season Pass.

Race tracks...... Paid for challenge maps.... Skins....

God dammit, WB. You're really burning all of your good will by pushing this DLC too far.

 

[Mocca-Bear]

Yeah..... Nope, feel very comfortable with just letting this one slide. Looks like the main game will be enough for me to scratch that Arkham itch.

 

[tuxfool]

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

How is it that you expected otherwise?

 

[Bronetta]

To all of you who are gonna wait for the GotY version, enjoy waiting a year for it while the rest of us enjoy the game this year.

 

[vg260]

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

Well to be fair, studios need to plan in advance for this kind of thing and development takes a long time, so the fact the game is not out is not really relevant. It's probably going gold soon. That being said, the question is price vs. quality, and most times this content does not live up to the price and expectations. So that sort of skepticism is warranted.

 

[His Majesty]

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

$25 for two major expansions
$40 for some story missions, race tracks, skins and challenge maps

The rant about the TW3 expansion pass seems even more ridiculous now.

 

[Phat Michael]

Nope. I hate this shit. More collectathon bullshit added for money.

 

[kitzkozan]

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

Given Rocksteady pedigree, we should see a game of the year version in the first quarter of 2016. City was released on October 18, 2011 in NA and the GOTY was released in the second quarter of 2012 (May 29).

 

[Sid]

A $40 season pass WTF

 

[TheSlySoul]

That being said, the question is price vs. quality, and most times this content does not live up to the price and expectations. So that sort of skepticism is warranted.

This is true as well.
It is hard to justify spending $100 when the GOTY edition will be $60 a year later.

 

[ps3ud0]

Wow £2 cheaper than my preorder for the actual game - much value there. I'll buy it when its half price as usual when most the season pass content has been released...

ps3ud0 8)

 

[giancarlo123x]

Let's all freak out, another day another season pass announced. Very expected.

 

[Shia_Labeouf]

To all of you who are gonna wait for the GotY version, enjoy waiting a year for it while the rest of us enjoy the game this year.

We will.

 

[johntown]

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

This seems like what I am going to do too. Or I may just wait for the GOTY.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I want more content than the last go around. I know they can't all deliver Borderlands 2 levels of season pass content but I do want more/better.

 

[MaximusPayne]

additional race tracks....I hope I'm not buying a racing game

 

[Alcoholikaust]

editied my first post- that season pass pricing is whack

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

To all of you who are gonna wait for the GotY version, enjoy waiting a year for it while the rest of us enjoy the game this year.

Do you get an award for playing it this year?

Didn't think so.

 

[TheSlySoul]

To all of you who are gonna wait for the GotY version, enjoy waiting a year for it while the rest of us enjoy the game this year.

I will have no issues.
I find the main series a 3/5 easy. I paid about $20 for all three games.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

£32.99

mjlaughing.gif

Content over six months. Including story missions (like what), skins (like what), characters (like who).

uhu.

 

[Kriken]

Base game for now, GOTY edition when it's $5 on steam later then

 

[Vashetti]

Man these season passes just dont go away already.

They sell.

 

[Son Of D]

£33 for the season pass. The game's going to cost around £40-£50. That's insane.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Let's all freak out, another day another season pass announced. Very expected.

Pretty much this.


Like all season passes, just wait to see if any of it is good then buy it later at a cheaper price.

 

[LumpOfCole]

It's way too hard to tell upfront if any Season Pass is ever worth it. That price is hilariously expensive and begging to be bought during an eventual Steam Sale.

 

[Ombala]

Yeah well how about no thats too much too ask for a season pass

 

[Cob32]

How much is the destiny season pass? Looks like £30+ is going to be the standard for season passes soon.

 

[FHIZ]

Yep, was fine picking and choosing which DLC I wanted from the last Arkham Games. Don't care too much about costumes or challenge maps, so buying that one story pack they produce is fine by me... if even that.

 

[bryanee]

I sure hope there is a lot of content for that price.

 

[GhostTrick]

Season pass more expensive than the game ? Ha !

 

[Angel_DvA]

40 EUROS?? Holy shit that's too much

Yup, a Big Nope for me.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Will wait on GOTY edition like I did for Arkham City.

 

[vg260]

This is true as well.
It is hard to justify spending $100 when the GOTY edition will be $60 a year later.

Well, that and it's a pretty big thing to ask customers to buy blind not knowing in detail what the actual content is like. If you do and it turns out to suck, you have pretty much no one to blame but yourself. It's the gamble of season passes.

I'm looking forward to this game, but don't have much faith in this being much more than fluff.

 

[The Cowboy]

I sure hope there is a lot of content for that price.

I would expect a ticket for Batman v Superman with it at that price, along with a voucher for popcorn and a drink.

 

[jacobeid]

Lmao at that price. I'm kind of glad that moving/car shopping/concert season/working more than full-time will be seriously cutting into my gaming time. There's no way I'll finish The Witcher, Bloodborne, Mario Kart DLC and Metro: Last Light Redux before this releases. Sale it is I guess.

Cool that it's coming though.

 

[Gamezone]

"priced at £87.98 for console, and £67.98"


How the heck are they justifying that £20 price gap between platforms?


The Console makers cut aint that deep

PC is an open platform with way more competition.

 

[Phamit]

is the pc season pass also 40€ ? because you can buy the game for 36 € on Green Man Gaming , normally it's 49,99

Season pass costs 4/5 of the base game lol

 

[DrFunk]

To all of you who are gonna wait for the GotY version, enjoy waiting a year for it while the rest of us enjoy the game this year.

um ok? I don't understand this post.

 

[Montresor]

$40 season pass. LOL.

Does there exist an Arkham Origins GOTY edition yet (with all the DLC)? I think I'll just buy that for ~$10 instead.

 

[kitzkozan]

$25 for two major expansions
$40 for some story missions, race tracks, skins and challenge maps

The rant about the TW3 expansion pass seems even more ridiculous now.

Not to mention that the expansion pass will eventually be discounted, possibly in time for the winter steam sale (since I expect The Witcher 3 to be the best selling title in the series, I don't think it will get decent discount within 6 months of it's release).

 

[Psykoboy2]

Really hope this comes with the collector's editions I pre-ordered from Amazon with the Batmobile and the one with the batman statue.

 

[JigglesBunny]

This is my second favorite series in gaming.

That doesn't mean I'm willing to buy into a ridiculously overpriced Season Pass.
I've already pre-ordered and payed off a Collector's Edition of the game and not even that entitles me to the Season Pass content? That's basically extortion at this point.

 

[Moosehole]

Prices on these season passes have skyrocketed lately. I'm not buying any more. Period.
