At first I thought it was a massive update,
put it is actually a paid expansion,
that costs $60 (or �40)

I knew this was a DLC because they said it somewhere. But the goddamn DLC is worth as much as the loving games? Jezus christ loving jews.
Im going to wait for no mans sky to come out and see the price of that. if its the same as horizons I'm probably buying horizons tough.
but still, damn, $60

planetary landing and buggies? i might actually look into getting this game now if the content expansion is good

Something tells me NMS will be around the $15-$30 range, but don't quote me on that.

OT: So they're making you pay full-price of an incomplete game for another part of the game? I thought Star Citizen was bad but this beats it by a landslide. Hopefully No Man's Sky is a one-time-purchase.

this.
Games that makr you pay extra just to get to play with all the features of the finished game are crap.

Ceist · August 08, 2015, 07:14:05 AM

while this is pretty neat, i wanna see all the features this adds. It better add a bunch of stuff or its not worth my cash.

The game looks fun but not 60 dollars fun, let alone 120 to be able to land on planets.

there seems to be some weird correlation that people who play space games will shell out tons of money on said space games.

the only games in which 10,000 to 15,000 dollars are spent are games like star citizen and EVE an stuff.

except so does Star Citizen. It practically has all the features of Elite Dangerous right now except landings.

Electrk. · August 08, 2015, 06:24:44 PM

so basically they're making you pay for the game twice just so you can get features which should've been in the game in the first place

No no no that's not how it works you can only buy the ships before the game is released, after the release date they're only purchaseable with in-game currency, see it as a backer reward. Like you get a spaceship instead of like a photograph signed by the devs.

Camel · August 09, 2015, 12:12:43 AM

aight well there was still one for 15,000 dollars and someone bought it

Foxscotch · August 09, 2015, 12:56:04 AM

yeah this really sucks
like isn't the game just you flying from one space station to another and buying junk? sometimes killing people or something
that's not worth $60 to me in the first place but now they're going to make u pay ANOTHER $60 just for this?
and it's not even interesting. it just sounds like a modified version of the exact same boring game, but this time on the surface of completely uninteresting planets
ok
