Pre-Order DLC Future Release

Post » Wed Aug 10, 2011 4:34 am

Most games a couple months after release (sometimes years) put their respective Pre-Order DLC on the market. Fallout: New Vegas had some of the most interesting Pre-Order DLC's to date. Each one provided a little more flavor to your Courier before they began their adventure. The only problem with these Pre-Order Bonuses was that there is four of them. The feeling of knowing there is more content out there for your game is very irritating, especially when you are willing to pay for more. I would be more than willing to pay $10-15 for a pack that came with all four. The http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Broad_machete and http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Lightweight_leather_armor are my two personal favorite pieces of equipment in the game. I'm posting this in hopes that a Bethesda Employee sees this and is willing to release any information on the topic. Thank you for your time and for the amazing game, discuss.

10 to 15 bucks? Your overpricing them by quite a bit. Each pack should run 1-2 bucks at best.

I agree realistically I find it hard to believe it would be release for free. 800 Microsoft points, although is too much, would be about the price I would pay. Don't forget, in order to Pre-Order $5 must be put down, so technically each pack is worth that much.

$10 or 800 Microsoft points for just 4 or 6 weapons? Hell you get that many new stuff in DLC and a whole lot more and content.

I would love to have those Pre DLC but would only pay about $2 for the DLC no way near the $10 as the OP has suggested.

I'm pretty sure that said 5 bucks is put down on the game meaning when you go buy it it's 55 and not 60 because you already put down 5. Unless of course I'm a moron and don't understand how that works in which case you may shoot my courier in the head....again.

It's $65 total. The $5 put down at preorder is to reserve you a copy. But, along with that $5 you can give them any amount you want towards the game.
IE: You give them $5 for the preorder+$20= your game will only be $40 at pickup.

LOL yeah.

But, remember. If you preorder you do usually get bonus content for the game (hence this thread :) )

There's been several threads run through with this idea, I believe in one from a ways back, it was confirmed that there'd be no re-release of preorder DLC.

As to pricing, well Dragon Age 2 has item sets for each character class for 200 pts. each, or like 500 or so if you buy the combine package of all three. This seemed a fair enough price, since not only were the weapons able to level up and allow you to dominate the game, but they gave three sets of armor for each class in the purchase. So, for all that, 200 pts. seems reasonable. If we were to price the sale of a package of all four preorder DLC's, a price of 200 pts. would be my maximum price for items I'd only end up using a couple of in a standard playthrough, or mostly ignore, or stop using after 5 levels of development.

The most irritating part of this is that I can go on my account on XBox Live and redownload my Classic Pack. That means that all of the packs are on the servers available to be downloaded by whoever has permission too. Which means the only reason microsoft/beth/obsid idsnt doing it is to create this false sense of exclusiveness or they are just plain lazy.

$10 for weapons and armor that's only useful right when you start the game? They're not worth anywhere near that much. Maybe a dollar, mostly for the vault 13 canteen, but that's about all its worth. I'd rather they just not release it so the people who pre-ordered can enjoy their exclusivity. They deserve that after paying $5 to "reserve" a copy of the game. Do people seriously worry about that? Don't they know that game developers always make way more copies than they'll need to avoid not having enough on release day? I mean I just walk into a store and buy games on release day all the time, or I pre-order it on amazon for no extra charge if I don't mind getting it a week late (I don't see the point in paying for shipping. Also I'm cheap)
