HunchBluntley: Sold-separately add-on expansions for games have been a thing since at least the early '90s. The "horrible present day vs. good old days" worldview isn't applicable here. : )

nightcraw1er.488: I don't remember buying textures (Dying Light for instance) back then?
What has that to do with Witcher 3?

To many bits and bobs for the game, and they are still doing DLC are they not? Once they do a final version then I will buy it.

In other words, you're using this rather specific topic as a launchpad to fire off some only tangentially related gripes about the sad state of modern gaming in general.

I guess some people can't differentiate between a proper expansion pack like in the old days, and the "horse armor" type thing or cut content sold as day 1 DLC. All DLC is evil, and that's that.

No, I merely stated that I was waiting for a complete pack as I hate this bit by bit releases common nowadays, you pushed me for further information.

You're thinking of the second expansion itself. I'm pretty sure the Expansion Pass was available for sale before the base game even released; at any rate, it's been available since at least last summer, and includes the first expansion, which has been out for about a year.

Not mentioned anything about what's in each dlc, just want a complete edition. But yes, a lot of the dlc is evil and pointless money grabs. Don't know about the witcher as you will not I haven't got it yet as there's no complete version, which is the crux of my point.

i may used the wrong word, i meant that the expansion pack is still a preorder, even if one part is released already. you buy the expansion pass as a preorder.

Let me reiterate: this has nothing to do with "nowadays" -- the PC games industry has been doing this general sort of thing -- i.e., selling after-market content for already-released games -- for at least two and a half decades (basically, since the "early childhood" of the industry itself). The details of how it's done have changed, but the overall concept has not. Wolfenstein 3D, Baldur's Gate, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Diablo, and many, many other classic games from the "good old days" also had level packs/mission packs/expansion campaigns on the same level as the new content included in The Witcher III's Expansion Pass.

Eh. Personally, I consider a game purchase to no longer be a pre-order once some part of the game content is actually available to play. Like all those Telltale games -- you have some discrete part of the content available, with the remainder scheduled to come out later.

TStael: I am actually, perso, boycotting the Watcher 3 until it will be a suitable price for a game that might not replay.

Breja: Boycotting? That's a somewhat self-aggrandizing way to call waiting for a sale, wouldn't you say? Also, while whether it's worth the asking price is of course up to everyone's subjective judgment, it's hardly overpriced for a AAA long-ass RPG by today's standard.
Not at all. It is self-inflicting, because I view The Withcer as a herald of the PC gaming revival, with Dragon Age Origin. Both those titles are deeply loved.

Not gaming TW3 pains me.

But should you gift me that title tomorrow, I could not game it. I prefer waiting 3-5 years.

You're not making any sense at all. Fortunately I don't really care. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm really busy boycotting having sex with Emma Watson. And believe you me, it pains me.

Tsk. Not caring about opinions of others, or not even trying to understand them - feller or lass, I believe - does not exactly help you on with "Emma."

And yet you don’t think it’s worth the asking price.

Which is fine, but looking for the best deal is not boycotting anything unless you find the original price deeply offensive for some reason. Boycotting is typically done for social or political reasons. I'm not boycotting Appletizer, I just cannot justify spending that much on it. As a responsible consumer I have chosen to only buy it on sale, and in the meantime look for cheaper drinks to quench my thirst for apples.

Indeed not, because it is a matter of genuine principle. Or how low could yours go, markrichardb?
