You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
This is for the people that know they're going to buy all the dlc anyway

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Oh no

Who could have foreseen this?
Now, now my child


The children are but looking for ways to nitpick at people who enjoyed the beta oh so much.
by all means, let EA pound your ass with overpriced day1 DLC
It's EA, why wouldn't there be an expensive season pass?

I'm not surprised in the slightest. Most multiplayer titles these days have season passes.

None of which are fucking $50.
Black Ops 3 season pass is $50
Black Ops 2 season pass was $50
BF3 Premium was $50
BF4 Premium was $50
CoD Ghosts season pass was $50
Advanced Warfare season pass was $50

So then wtf was all the commotion about Arkham Knight's being $40?

Still, this is fucking awful.

What're you on about?  How is this new or different from anything else?
Most game expansions have been around $15 each, individually.  Season passes save you around $10-15.  This is a pass for 4 expansions.

see, i don't even know what a season pass is

because i don't play shit games

but yeah, i don't see how this is remotely justifiable

like, why does it need to be $50 other than the fact that they know people are gonna be dumb enough to buy it

Halo 5 is no saint either. Charging $60 for 2/3 of a game.

I do prefer their business model, though.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
For just 3 easy shipments of $29.99

All future content becomes "free" to download once it's available

it's basically pre-ordering DLC

which is should tell you everything you need to know about its stupidity.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. They'd just continue to charge $20 per expansion otherwise, and the people who religiously play these games would buy them all anyway. That's why the season pass model works, because it genuinely saves money for the people who love the games.

Expansions for video games used to offer much more for less

now CoD has $15 per pack with 5 maps, 4 of which are multiplayer. That's rather fair. 4 of those * 15 = $60. Season pass is $50, so $10 discount.

All CoD DLC is usually really really good, even Ghosts the maps were better than the ones on the disc.

The value of a full game versus all DLC is usually never an equivalent value

Just have to deal with it

I much prefer the Mass Effect style over the commom practice. I am very glad Halo has adopted it over other business models.

Because forge won't be available until December.

Not that it's a bad thing.

You still get forge for free so I have no clue how it can be considered 2/3 of the game. It will probably be an update that unlocks forge for Christmas.

Whatever. I think of it like this: Campaign, Multiplayer and Forge.

Still not the full game.

thats not 1/3 of the game content though. its a map editor. the series' most comprehensive map editor, yes, but a map editor nonetheless. saying 1/3 of the game was cut because forge will release in a free patch around xmas is a misrepresentation of reality

Because it removes incentive to make it good.

If 343i already has your money, then why would they need to put effort into forge? it's cheaper not to.

Why do you think the MCC was broken for so long? They already had your money.

It is 1/3 of the game. Or, 4/5, as lemon said.

The point is, it's not the full game. Supporting this shit is bad.

It doesn't matter what you think if it isn't true.

Campaign, customs, arena, Warzone and Forge are all separate modes.

It's not like they're cutting Forge. They're delaying it for a completely valid reason.

the mileage in that regard varies wildly from user to user. so the fractional content argument is nonsensical and frankly irrelevant. (what % of the playerbase spends a notable chunk of time in forge anyway? id bet its not a big number.)

for what its worth, im not supporting anything. i was gonna wait until the forge update to see whether or not it was worth anyway. but speaking in hyperbole isnt a good way to form a potent argument, and it can serve to mislead others who arent quite mindful enough to research for themselves just what kind of content was cut/what they can expect on release.

What a stupid point of contention. That doesn't matter, you're missing the point. The full game isn't included.

I only explained where I was coming from. It's not relevant to my point AT ALL.

Quote
Campaign, customs, arena, Warzone and Forge are all separate modes.

So are Campaign, Theatre, Firefight, Customs, Matchmaking, Forge. I was shortening the list to the main 3.

Sure, while still making you pay full-price.

Giving them money ahead of the content is as bad as buying a season's pass. Don't be stupid, it's the exact same thing.

Besides the fact that there's a lot of pressure on 343 to pull through on Halo 5, and Halo 5 being the game that could make or break the franchise at this point.

But sure. No incentive.

If they had no incentive to make it good, they wouldn't have delayed it for 6 weeks to get it ready.

Quote
Why do you think the MCC was broken for so long? They already had your money.
Because 343 didn't even develop the MCC, and because it was a complete mess, and had only a small team dedicated to pushing updates and fixes, whilst the core 343 team was already balls deep in development for Halo 5.
