The Witcher

I'm not preordering it but I will get it as soon as possible

Euro gamer spoke on the subject and said smith was actually very polite and it's was a joke most the time and the community doesn't need to treat it as such it was his writing that messed it up Here are the links [url=https://mobile.twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/613376448645214209]https://mobile.twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/613376448645214209[/url] [url=https://mobile.twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/613376025775460352]https://mobile.twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/613376025775460352[/url]

Luke Smith may have come across like a condescending jerk during the interview, but my opinion on the matter is he did nothing different then bungie has already done. Hear me out for s second. Bungie has never been one to be very transparent with more then what their willing to discuss. The discussion to be taken place that day was about the pricing model of the 3 options for the taken king; nothing more. I do feel Smith personally saw no problem with charging people to repurchase content. However, he's a dev. He's not hired to handle the pr side of things. This was an interview deej should have handled or at least been there to answer the questions smith wasn't prepared to answer. Smith's reaction I feel was more out of annoyance to the same question in the interview rather then out of straight ignorance. However, it's still inexcusable to act this way especially toward the players who have kept this game going and forked out the majority of profits which made this game so successful. Either way you slice it launch day players have paid the most money. Did we all know a year in destiny would sell all the dlc and the game for a reduced price? Most of us sure did and I saw numerous articles about it, however catering to these players should have been a priority.

I'm not sure any more to be honest. After E3, I was leaning towards buying the expansion, after having read that EG interview it left a bad impression on me. There are simply too many good games coming out soon to actually want be a customer of a company that has that level of disregard and disrespect towards its fans. I would rather invest my time and money on games like Fallout 4, Halo 5, Dishonored etc...

What brings Bungie more revenue ... 37% at full price of 70% at slightly reduced price

Im buying it but not the collectors edition My money is not getting thrown at the screen

I won't buy TTK. I'm having too much fun playing Batman Arkham Knight, Devil May Cry 4 and The Witcher 3. I'm done with this game. And there are a lot of games to play this year: Just Cause 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Gears of War, Mighty09, Tomb Raider, Halo 5, Mad Max, etc...

Will you nerds stop referencing skyrim like its the holy grail of video games? It was a 6 at best.

People are still going to buy it , whether it's over priced or not , the fact they've spent nearly a year playing, Grinding, Raiding etc they don't want all that time investment being for nothing, I'm just don't think it's worth it for me personally yes I've enjoyed Destiny met some cool players to raid with but none of my friends even hardly play Destiny now plus Paying 40 pounds a month and half before Halo, Battlefront drops is a waste of money IMO for a months play time , as I won't be on Destiny once them games drop , but that's just me

Once all of the hot fall games come out chances are I'll be done with destiny for good since any of them offer tons more content than destiny and their devs actually listen to the fan base.

$80 a year for this game would be cool with me As long As the content is there.

[quote]I felt compelled to point out that games like Skyrim give you easily ten times the content for a $30 expansion, $10 less than the base TTK price.[/quote[/quote] That Hearthfire, though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's not 31% of 20million registered players It's 31% of maybe 500k that are actually on this forum And maybe like 100k who actually look at the forum So 1% They don't care

Screw this noise. I can [i]empathize [/i] with everyone just fine. But to be a gamer in 2015 and have the balls to complain about money and pricing...Just insanity and utter ignorance. Gaming is inherently one of the most expensive, time wasting, ongoing obsessive/addictive hobbies in the world. [b]And every one of you is going to buy The Taken King 100% guaranteed anyway.[/b] Simple business practice with the exclusive items...Been this way forever. With Halo 4, it was the FOTUS armor with the special console edition of the game (one example). No one wanted to buy a console they already had for a skin, but people definitely did. They're selling the standalone TTK dlc to the players, so we're not getting cheated. And legacy games in a series or string of dlc almost always go down in price after a year or less depending on sales...Older content for example. [b]Would be more convenient for them to sell the extras with TTK, sure.[/b] But if no one here can afford an $80 purchase, then maybe you need to take up a new hobby? And here's where things get as practical as they can...Buy the standalone bare bones version of TTK, then buy the Collector's Edition, getting the dlc extras, then resell the duplicate software and dlc content from the Collector's Edition and make some money back. You'll still end up spending well over $40, but you'll get what you want for less than $120 if you resell. [b]They aren't providing many options, but this common, yet tempting business practice is your bottom line option: TTK digital download, Legendary Edition collection, digital collectors edition, and the physical collectors edition [/b]. It sucks for many of us on one hand, but let's not act so wronged here. This isn't the first time something like this has happened to gamers by a long shot. Certainly won't be the last. Entertainment costs lots of money. And you're all not likely to give up your addictions any more than I am. [u][b]Here are your best options:[/b][/u] 1.) buy the standalone version of TTK and the Collector's Edition, then resell the duplicate software and content to make a little money back 2.) buy the standalone version of TTK and let that be enough 3.) give up entirely on your gaming addiction, this game, save money, and move on...[spoiler]bet no one chooses this [/spoiler]

Option 4 buying it on launch but not preordering or waiting for reviews.

You realize how small the forum community is right? %37 is only a few hundred out of the 1600 that actually either replied or voted. If you think think %37 out if 1600 people is a lot then you are delusional.
