feel bad for falling directly into Bethesda scheme of getting a large influx of sales before march 1st ...

what now ?

What do you mean "what now"? Winged monkeys fly out your butt.

Wait for DLC to hit.

If it is such a con, and you knew that upfront... why did you buy the pass then?

LMAO! That cracked me up lol

I'd call you by your ID if you purchased it before you even have an information about what you gonna get.

Now since you have known what you will get with that 30 bucks and then make a purchase of the ticket, I must say you're wise enough.

What's next? Wait for the stuff to drop.

As what Weightaholic said you need to wait until DLC's release to install/download them, one comes out rather soon being an unannounced release in March. There are also a DLC announced for both April & May as well. The Season Pass is essentially a receipt saying you own all the DLC announced for the Season Pass, which happens to be all the DLC for Fallout 4 if what Bethesda has said still holds true for Fallout 4's lifetime.

Assuming even some of the DLC is good, which it probably will be based on Bethesda's track record and what they've announced so far, then surely you've made a wise purchase.

Is it really a "scheme" when everyone who buys it now is probably going to be getting tons of good content for cheap? Surely the evil corporate move would've been to not tell people they were raising the price, or not reveal what the first batch of DLCs would be, or simply release it for ￡40 right off the bat like EA did with Battlefront.

As long as you don't complain about how Beth tricked you into buying a season pass out of your own free will when you find the DLC unsatisfactory.

cuz rather spend $30 falling for a trap then waiting and having spend an additional $20

i just wanted to wait for all the DLC to be announced

Lol a trap implies you didn't know what you were getting into. Seeing as you knew, full well that the price was raising... and thus the amount of content to be released was going up, you were gambling on the rest of the content to be determined to be worth the money. Since Far Harbor is 25 bucks by itself, you gambled that the rest of the dlc was worth the extra 5 bucks. Not to mention, if you were waiting for all of the dlc to be announced... you'd still be waiting, as there is more content coming beyond the 3 announced.

I hated all of Bethesda's DLC previously.

Stupid 9 Shrines BS for Oblivion didn't work for me, and Shivering Isles svcked ass (it was a technicolor nightmare), after those two garbage DLCs (not to mention horse armor), I swore to never download another Bethesda DLC. I think I made the right decision, after seeing Skyrim's first DLC catered to the douchy vampire emo crowd.

Having said that, I'm excited over the next 3 DLCs. Monsters, robots, and creepy NE town? What's not to love.

Shut up and take my money Bethesday!

The trap is to buy into conspiracy theories and NOT purchase the DLC. That's a dumb move. $29.99 is a bargain for 3 DLCs that you will get from day one. The first two DLCs add new features that will be used by many mods and will become mandatory just like Hearthfire is required for many Skyrim mods. Then you get a landmass DLC in Far Harbor. Basically, you're going to have to wait months after release if you want to pay less than $29.99 for the 3 DLC. Not to mention that you will get ALL the DLC released after those first 3.

So it's a no brainer literally. Only those with no brain will skip buying the season pass, then complain that they had to pay more once they figure out that they should have purchased it from the start.

I wonder how much Bethesda is losing out on Season Passes. If Bethesda stated that they were going to do a Season Pass in September, but it is not for sale at the moment and didn't announce a price for it, then they could have charged everyone $50 for it. Instead they sold it to a bunch of players for $30 that didn't know what they were getting and others that knew what they were getting and there will be at least $60 worth of content.

I believe this all are just marketing strategy.

They can say "60 bucks worth of content". Apparently 6 x re-skinned gun for 10 bucks each also can be said as "60 bucks worth of content".

What matters now is the actual value of the content.

If it is a marketing ploy, then it is an extremely risky one. People will either get the Season Pass or they won't. Just because they are going to increase the price on Tuesday won't affect anyone's decision to buy it. It is just a matter of buying it sooner rather than later. Bethesda will lose out by announcing the $30 Season Pass since very few Fallout fans will buy the Season Pass for $50.

If Bethesda pulls a stupid stunt like selling selling 6 guns for $60, then they will suffer for it as proved by Horse Armor. Bethesda's previous DLCs has set precedent for what the worth of content is. $5 worth of DLC should give us similar content to what we got in Hearthfire, $10 worth of DLC should give us similar content to what we got in previous Fallout DLC, and $25 worth of DLC should give us more content than what Dragonborn provided us.

However, it does prove that virtual items don't have any intrinsic worth. This bunch of pixels is only worth $5 while that bunch of pixels is worth $50,000 only because someone is willing to pay for it. DLC usually has their price kept low since video game companies want everyone to buy it while F2P items can be worth a million dollars due to rarity. In Eve, you can lose a ship worth thousands of dollars just by one act of stupidity.

I bought the Season Pass as well. And?


Well, I see it this way: The game is good. And it is big.


Is the game worth the price?

How much entertainment do you get for your money? Two hours? Ten? Or is it 100?

Compare with the price of other entertainments. Take a cinema ticket. How many hours of entertainment do you get for 10 dollar or euro? Max. 3 right? That would be around 5 to 6 movies.


The next argument:


Did you buy a quality product? Is the game in the low or high end of the market? Have you compared with other and previous games of this type?

Are there any other games that offers you the same or more?


- There are some games you just know belongs in the top of the list. No matter how much you look you won't find any decent replacement. They can get close, but never really beat it.

I have played games since 1995. All kinds of games. But I discovered I always get caught by a single or maybe two in a period of two years. This these games have the benefits I like.


The games I played and enjoyed the most are:


1. Tombraider (the first 4 and the latest two)

2. Quake (played LAN oand online for 2 years)

3. Unreal Tournament (clan for 11 years)

4. Dungeon Siege 1 + 2

5. Skyrim (3 years and still now and then, over 1000 hours)

6. Mass Effect (all three several times)

7. Dragon Age Origin + Dragon Age Inquisition (more than 1000 hours)

8. The Witcher 2 + 3 (and still playing)

Shorter games:

6. Dishonored

These are all quality games with the best entertainment contents. Then I note what company made these games and look for similar releases. I read the reviews to get a feeling of the quality.

When I decide to buy a game I have a fairly good chance that the game is worth not only my money but also my time. And I have learned which games is ok to buy DLC's for. In this case a Season pass for Fallout 4. I am convinced I will not waste my money.


But it's always a personal evaluation. I can only say that Fallout 4 Season Pass is most likely worth buying and you won't feel robbed.

Got the season pass as well, if you buy first wave of DLC separately it's $40, then you have the second wave of DLC. Getting all of that for $30 seems like a good deal for me.
