Season Passes - Your thoughts?

[Aulayna]

So I've noticed that a few publishers are pushing out these things called "Season Passes" for their new big titles. Said Season Passes usually cost about 3/4 of the price of the game itself as a seperate investment and allow the purchaser access to all of the scheduled DLC for that game as an upfront investment that works out marginally cheaper than buying it all individually as and when it's released.

What's your take on these?

You would have to have a lot of faith in the company to buy one of those.

I've noticed that all the worst DLC has a Season Pass attached to it.

Iffy... you have to be sure there's going to be a decent amount of content for a game. When some of them flop, the publisher just turns its back on the title.

You also have to be sure each of those packs is something you want. I'm not really sure if I'm gonna get the Black Ops II one because I don't really play Zombies... I might save more money buying a la carte if they release a Zombie-exclusive pack like they did last time.

Not even worth my time I applaud them for coming up with new marketing strategies but I'm not going to fall for this one.
