What do you all think about the price for Elden Rings dlc?
For me in Canada it’s $53.49 +tx so around $61 total.
That’s the cost of a new game, not a dlc.
Given the track record of the company I’m sure the dlc will be amazing, but I’m very curious as to the length of it as well.
It’s only $40 in the US which is what I expected it to be.
If that translates to $61 bucks in CAD: How much is the base game? Because I wouldn’t expect it to be the same $60 base price of a AAA game like it is in USD.
Edit: Just looked on SteamDB, the price of the base game in Canada is $80. Which appears to be typical for anything that’s $60 here in the states.
Yeah the post is purposefully misleading. I was going to comment the same.
Nobody really knows how big it’ll be. They said the new area would be aroumd the size of Limgrave but a lot more dense, I’d wait until reviews if you’re worried about price.
I am 100% certain it will be worth it. FROM have never half-assed a game nor expansion, Elden Ring least of all.
Unless you’re on PC that is
There’s also like a premium version that costs even more and comes with some extra stuff. Dlc got dlc now.
Fromsoft are obviously squeezing every penny they can whilst they are able to. I’ll likely just wait and get a more reasonably priced version. 2024 is stacked with amazing looking games.
“The Premium Bundle includes the following content: • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree expansion • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree Digital Artbook & Original Soundtrack”
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m sure I can live with the artbook and soundtrack being put behind a £5 price tag.
I’ve happily paid $70 CAD for games significantly shorter and smaller in scope than Shadow of the Erdtree looks. Plus I’m wanting to jump back into Elden Ring anyways and I more than felt like I got my money’s worth the first couple of times. So $56.16 CAD (what my receipt says it cost me) is pretty much fine for that.
This might be a weird take, but I don’t really care whether I’m paying for a new game, a DLC, a microtransaction, or even a gacha pull. If it seems like it’s somehow worthwhile, whether that’s by fun or hours played or novelty or whatever, I don’t really worry that much about what form it takes. This usually means I just buy new games (how often is a microtransaction at all reasonable to pay for?) but I don’t really worry about DLC pricing if it looks good.
even a gacha pull.
I’m in agreement up to this point. The only gambling that feels good, the only gambling you really remember, is the gambling that pays off. And that’s part of what makes it so insidious.
Fixed price transactions, where you know exactly what you’re getting, are all OK in my book from a consumer perspective. Pay to win included even if that kind of thing makes the game itself bad.
So to put this in real terms: I think that Genshin Impact is worse from a consumer perspective than Star Citizen.
Gacha games are one of the few kinds of games I absolutely refuse to play.
I also worry about the price, but I’m also a patient man. Someday, in 2030, it will be on sale.
Yup. I waited something like a year for Elden Ring to go on sale. No problem waiting again.
