Season pass costs $50 here in Canada. I remember new ps2 and ps3 games cost $60. Now a new ps4 game costs $80 new. I don't think DLC should cost more then half of the game itself.
some companies like Nintendo do DLC right, like for Smash 4 and Mario Kart 8. They add more stages and characters, a few at a time, for about 7 bucks at a time. In Smash, 20 bucks can get you two new stages and 4 new fighters. In games like COD, 20 bucks gets you gun skins and nothing else. In Mario Kart, you get 3 new character, 5 new karts, a few other parts that you can mix and match with the karts, and new stages to race in. Hell, 200CC is free in MK8, and companies like EA would charge 5 bucks.
You know how it is, Ea wants to give us a "game" that is complete with the pass. However, the turn of events they are doing in battlefield is interesting. Notice they are now giving free things and the game that was made in 2012 (I believe) is getting popular again
Season Passes were a good idea when first introduced but when these passes are being used to add content to games that should be given for free likes maps and new weapons, it is simply disgusting. Star Wars BF is already light on content and with zero single player elements outside of horde mode, the tiny amount of maps that ship with the game is no where near enough to be classed as a full game.
When I went to GameStop to preorder Battlefront (I only pre order because my local stores never have Xbox One or Wii U games in stock the day they come out) and when I was pre ordering they kept trying to get me to get Deluxe Edition and I kept telling them I just wanted the game and it was a mess.
Reminds me of how I wanted to preorder Anarchy Reigns some years ago but had my mom do it because I was a minor at the time (M rated game) but she instead came back with a preorder for DMC: Devil May Cry. How does that happen?
My god, EA just really doesn't give a shit about their cattle. It's interesting to hear the new ways they fool people out of their money. You can literally got ALL of this stuff a couple years later for $20. EVERYTHING. All at once. No fucking season pass. The whole game , all "expansions" for a fraction of the base game legally. You just but the "ultimate/game of the year edition" once price drops. I never do anything else.
No, because since this is a multiplayer-only game, in a few years when nobody's playing anymore and with EA's shitty track record, they'll just shut down the servers. And even when the base game's price drops, the season pass will still be fucking expensive, that will never change.
What do you think of the new Assassin's Creed Syndicate? I think it actually does a pretty decent job saving the franchise and building up for playable modern day in the next game! :)
When ever there is a "If you didn't, lets say, pre order the game, and you don't get the content, EVER" kind of thing, I am pissed off beyond human belief. I thought RockStar was going to do it with GTA 5, were if you didn't pre order on PS3/360, not hot knife or other things. They bring that back to everyone on 'next gen' systems (XB1, PS4, PC.) I like that, they will give it to everyone. But games like this, and you CANT EVER get the dlc, even if you pay more, is a huge dick move by EA. Oh wait, their EA, you know, the company that will ruin any game they get their hands on. *cough* SimCity server shut down *cough*.
I am not surprised about this. If people want EA to stop this, don't buy those expansions, or the games themselves for all it is worth. Wait, I forgot, I raised my expectations for general audiances, who are idiots.
Personally I don't buy triple a games right on release because I can't be sure about dlc so I've just been recently playing games from 2013 and 2012 since they are done updating them, besides that they are also very cheap to buy.
Session passes are worthless, you are going to buy things you most likely don't care for.... and you get bonuses like a skin pack you will never use....
I clicked this for the preview pic. Whoever took the pic: you got a nice butt. Also wow IHE and laughing o_O (and I hate season passes since they rip you off. So do some expansion packs. I only get DLC and expansions of things I *REALLY* want. Things that ain't required for me to enjoy or complete the game, I won't buy. It's a waste of cash. And half of the time shit is buggy as crap. If it ain't broken: DON'T FIX IT.)
I AM GOING TO SIT BACK AND LET OVERWATCH DOMINATE THE GAMING MARKET ! why ? because its fucking amazing, it runs better than all games in beta, and no idea on the price of it yet but i swear if blizzard steps up the game and says its free ill send them money just as a thank you !
Too lazy to google how to "Add those thingies to a video (like aquae mane)" If you get what I mean, teach meh how to do it on Adobe Premiere, thx, you will get paid by nothing o.ob
I don't even remember if you talked about this, but whatever. What are your thoughts on voice chats in video games. Specificlly in Call of Duty. I just think it's cancer. It's straight up cancer.
Wtf are season passes still a thing?! normally there to reward people who buy the game new and punish those who buy second hand, making you pay another £10 to play online. now they have the cheek to give you two emotes and two things you get in the game (for free) for £95, way to market to the whales *slow claps* i hope star wars burns, first Disney, now sh*tty business plans with its name attached. it has fallen so far from grace.
You think this shits bad? You should look at footage from what would have been Star Wars Battelfront 3. Hell, this game has less content than Star Wars Battlefront 2. That's an outrage!
the game is garbage its a joke of a game. you can get better free to play game with 10 times more content then this game. do not support this joke of a game it is not a battlefront game.
GET IT? POUNDS YOUR ASS?!
Because Microtransactions.
Season pass costs $50 here in Canada. I remember new ps2 and ps3 games cost $60. Now a new ps4 game costs $80 new. I don't think DLC should cost more then half of the game itself.
Alex sounds like the I Hate Everything guy...
Because he IS the IHE guy :D
I knew it!!!
Sort of...
+M. Victor Howard I am assuming that was a joke.
+M. Victor Howard he is the i hate everything guy ya big dummy
did you see the battlefront 3 cancelled game footage
could all of you make a top 10 (or top 5 if 10 is too hard) list of your favorite games? love your guys' videos, keep up the great work!
5:55 lmao 6 minutes into the video "Alex fix the mic the audio is gonna be all fucked up" XD

I like having all of the content on the disc from the start. Crazy, I know.
In Halo, you EXPECT some maps, and anything else is a pretty good surprise. And it wasn't too over-priced.
Can you guys share your thoughts on Fallout 4?
138th, absolutely nailed it.
nice jams.
i feel if microtransactions worked with map packs that would be awesome but they have to have some really good maps and at least ten based maps good
You know how it is, Ea wants to give us a "game" that is complete with the pass. However, the turn of events they are doing in battlefield is interesting. Notice they are now giving free things and the game that was made in 2012 (I believe) is getting popular again
could you guys render your gameplay videos in 60fps
I got 4 words about this game: Good game bad Publisher •-•
+Star Flame Good game? It hasn't been released yet.
He means beta wise
Yes, the beta was really good
Season Passes were a good idea when first introduced but when these passes are being used to add content to games that should be given for free likes maps and new weapons, it is simply disgusting.
Star Wars BF is already light on content and with zero single player elements outside of horde mode, the tiny amount of maps that ship with the game is no where near enough to be classed as a full game.
They were never a good idea.
ehhh i was expecting this, EA using the battlefield marketing + DLC model for this game
When I went to GameStop to preorder Battlefront (I only pre order because my local stores never have Xbox One or Wii U games in stock the day they come out) and when I was pre ordering they kept trying to get me to get Deluxe Edition and I kept telling them I just wanted the game and it was a mess.
Reminds me of how I wanted to preorder Anarchy Reigns some years ago but had my mom do it because I was a minor at the time (M rated game) but she instead came back with a preorder for DMC: Devil May Cry. How does that happen?
if you can get everything members that pay overtime thats how i like it
I wanted this game, but as soon as the season pass came out I dropped my pre order.
Ultimate means final............yeah this is the "final" edition. Sure. 100%
Collectors edition with cool physical item= Good
Collectors edition with in-game items = No point instead of standard edition
James blab - your opinions on rap music, I'd really like to know what you think of the genre.
Btw, it's awesome messaging you on xbox, if you don't know which I am my gt is Powr reign
I swear Ea said there'd be 21 maps
What are your favorite game companies?
Do you think a season pass can ever be fair? If so what circumstances can this be the case?
what I love about Nintendo is that they've never tried to pull this bullshit
+Alex Oyinkolade Cough Amiibos cough.
+BoloYung but it's always extra that doesn't hold off a giant chunk of the experience
+Alex Oyinkolade I think you need shovel knight amibo to play online
+joshua powell you can unlock them manually by playing the game
+naughtyNuGetzz23 in what game?

Intertayne Well... A year later and I got the ultimate edition for free with my ps plus subscription
What do you think of the new Assassin's Creed Syndicate? I think it actually does a pretty decent job saving the franchise and building up for playable modern day in the next game! :)
ea is illuminati confrimed
The thing that's worse is people actually get fooling into buying this crap and don't care.
When ever there is a "If you didn't, lets say, pre order the game, and you don't get the content, EVER" kind of thing, I am pissed off beyond human belief.

What are your thoughts and opinions on The confirmed Last Of Us 2
+YerfdogGaming uh you mean we will have another movie? horray!
Cuco Manifestado I feel a great saltiness in the force.
every good game the devs make ea has to fuck it with dlc and season passes
EA
Everyone Abhors (us)
Erect Ass
Electronic Antichrist
Extreme Accident
Absolutely hate any sort of map pack. It divides the player base.
Personally I don't buy triple a games right on release because I can't be sure about dlc so I've just been recently playing games from 2013 and 2012 since they are done updating them, besides that they are also very cheap to buy.
you're late to every party aren't you
90 POUNDS IS LIKE 180 FUCK
Session passes are worthless, you are going to buy things you most likely don't care for.... and you get bonuses like a skin pack you will never use....

Easy solution: don't buy it. BF2 is vastly superior in every way except graphics.
I AM GOING TO SIT BACK AND LET OVERWATCH DOMINATE THE GAMING MARKET ! why ? because its fucking amazing, it runs better than all games in beta, and no idea on the price of it yet but i swear if blizzard steps up the game and says its free ill send them money just as a thank you !
Where's the podcast guys? Get on that. Or don't, do whatever you want.
I made a video on why I won't buy it. EA loves to fuck us over.
Too lazy to google how to "Add those thingies to a video (like aquae mane)"
If you get what I mean, teach meh how to do it on Adobe Premiere, thx, you will get paid by nothing o.ob

Oh, I forgot to leave a question mark. So fuckin here "?"
+Smegma Chicken /thread
Smegma Chicken I know. I just wanted an opinion on it and the cancer it creates.
Wtf are season passes still a thing?! normally there to reward people who buy the game new and punish those who buy second hand, making you pay another £10 to play online. now they have the cheek to give you two emotes and two things you get in the game (for free) for £95, way to market to the whales *slow claps* i hope star wars burns, first Disney, now sh*tty business plans with its name attached. it has fallen so far from grace.

People are going still buy it cuz they are stupid and now it's all about the money and not the "good games"
Lol why pay extra for that shit I really don't get it
People who buy ea games befor they are out and reviewed are lost anyways. really.
i hate ea all the cool battlefield maps are dlc and the base game ones are so bland and non memorable
the game is garbage its a joke of a game. you can get better free to play game with 10 times more content then this game. do not support this joke of a game it is not a battlefront game.
Stop putting game on there .......its cringey
