Nice! I platinumed Fallout 4 over Christmas, but I've been itching to dive back in. Sucks that the seasons pass is $40 on Canadian PSN, but it'll probably be worth it to buy that.
Season pass announced - "well you don't even know what you're buying"
Content of season pass announced - "well you don't even know if what you're buying is good"
Except Point Lookout was $10 and a pretty good value.Far Harbor is reminding me of Point Lookout (which is a good thing)
Off to buy the season pass now
Most important for lots of folks.
Hopefully it will come free to the steam workshop ! :O
Yeah, this weird love people have for Bethesda DLC has never really made sense to me. Every game they released had like one good DLC/expansion and the rest was bullshit, except for Morrowind since Bloodmoon and Tribunal were both great. Oblivion only had Shivering Isles, Fallout 3 only had Point Lookout (no, I don't consider Broken Steel to be any good) and Skyrim only had Dragonborn.If Bethesda had a better history of DLC this wouldn't be a problem. But as it is now, they're asking for $30 (soon $50) for what is most likely their standard practice of half of the DLC being okay and the other half being an overpriced waste of time.
Yes but we dont know if its a big story DLC or some smaller stuff like the cage settlement and power armor collectathon...
This and Dying Light increasing Season Pass prices isn't something I hope becomes standard. From now on, any game that does this, I'll just wait for the GOTY Edition. Then again, I was planning on doing that for Fallout 4 anyway, since I know Bethesda and their bugs.

Want a chance to play these add-ons early? Well be running closed betas for each of the add-ons for consoles and PC. And you can sign up right now on Bethesda.net. In order to apply, youll need to create a registered Bethesda.net account. Well be selecting applicants in the upcoming weeks. Players accepted into the beta will receive a code to redeem the content. The beta is the full version (complete with achievements) and those participating will not have to purchase the add-on.
I don't understand the complaints - the story DLC is gonna be $25 plain.
The other two, while not my cup of tea, effectively are mine for $5. Plus, you add whatever other DLC they have planned (hopefully story), and it's effectively free.
So lets say it's more settlement bullshit. I paid base story DLC + $5 for what (seemingly appears) be a lot of content.
I understand the argument about never buying a season pass, but as far as what they're doing here, it hardly feels "scummy" or "low" to me.
huh, the people that get in the beta for the add ons will get them for free
Hearts Of Stone looks like even more of a bargain.
It's an amazing deal in comparison to the lazy phoned in DLC we've been seeing recently. I expected more from Bethesda, the company that gave us Shivering Isles and all those great story based DLCs for FO3.
Crafting and settlements has ruined this series. That shit should be free with mods, not part of the season pass.
Story DLC for 25$ is absurdly expensive.I don't understand the complaints - the story DLC is gonna be $25 plain.

Funnily enough, I'd probably pay $15 for a "We fixed the shitty loading times" DLC.
This is what i have heard about FO4 dlc. The season pass will be raised in price come the announcements.
It will go to 50 usd due to the sheer size / expansion of the season pass. Everybody who bought a 25 usd season pass will get a free upgrade to the 50 usd season pass.
It's a lose-lose situation. Either you buy it early without knowing how the DLC content is going to turn out or you wait until reviews and risk paying a $20 late fee.
"But what if all of the DLC is really good???" then you get a good deal, I guess. But when has that ever happened? Opinions on Fallout 3 DLC seem to drastically range from "pretty good" (Point Lookout) to "boring crap" (Operation Anchorage). There's no real way to know how these will turn out.
Is that an issue with the console versions? Loading on my PC was only a few seconds initially and then near instant for other loads.
huh, the people that get in the beta for the add ons will get them for free
? You're like 3 months late...lolPlease give us money before you know what you're getting, thanks.
It takes ages (stupidly long, close to 2 minutes) on my PC, and the older the save gets the longer the loading times.
Hiking the price without telling anyone would be a low. This isn't. No one complained when Techland did it either Dying Light, why complain now with Fallout 4?

Why would it be free when they can sell it all to people that would never pay money for it for the sweet price of $5? That's free revenue.
Bethesda has consistently released some of the best DLC in the industry as far as value goes. I don't see any reason to assume the expansion won't be bigger than Shivering Isles (since they come right out and say it), and that was $30, IIRC.
