Season Pass. Yay or Nay?

I have learned that DLC can be extremely hit or miss, so, I'll play it by ear.

Season Passes are about as stupid as pre-orders imo. Unless something is in a limited supply there's just no point to them.

How the fuck should we know? But as a general rule, DLC season passes are a poor investment unless you KNOW you want it all. For example, if you really like Halo, then sure, you probably want all the DLC maps. Otherwise, I find that I just choose the 1 or 2 pieces if DLC that actually seem appealing.

After Saints Row The Third, I'll be waiting until actual DLC before buying a season pass.

I'm going to wait until all three pieces are released, if all three are decent enough chunks of content then I'll probably get the season pass, otherwise I'll just individually download the ones I'm interested in.

If they turn out to be packs basically just expanding the gear and vigors available to you without anything great in terms of story I'll probably give the season a pass.

. Not sure I would be happy to have filler DLC, the way ME3 did it put me off.

I liked the story and world so much that anything relating to it, I feel I would like to experience, so I bought the season pass after giving it much thought. I feel like I trust Irrational enough to give me some quality stuff.

The only other season passes I ever bought were for Battlefield 3 and L.A. Noire, and I felt like I got my money's worth.

In before nothing but combat arenas.

Think if they did release DLC for this game it would have to be prequel stuff. I'd be cool with playing the game with prequel stuff through the antagonists point of view. I know irrational didn't develop Bioshock 2 but that Minerva Den DLC was fantastic.

@i_stay_puft Good point. Have heard many great things about that DLC for Bioshock 2. I'll have to try it one day.

Hopefully yay, because I bought it in a weak moment late at night after finishing the game...

if its your first run through i found the cloths they give you with the pass fairly useful like the 75% more clip capacity or doing shock damage with a melee attack but as for the actual dlc we dont know what they will be

I'll wait until the season pass is on sale for about $10. That's what I did for Borderlands 2 and that worked out great. As long as the season pass has a Steam code (which it does) then someone will put it on sale eventually.

I bought the season pass but they jury is still out on whether or not that was a poor decision. I'd say wait.

Hopefully yay but I'm sure that there'll be at least one dud DLC in the bunch as there always is.

Since they are offering a Season Pass that must mean they have at least 3 pieces of DLC lined up I assume and that's the most important thing for me.

my thoughts exactly. and waiting for it, maybe i can catch it on sale at some point even if they aren't the greatest dlc.

I would never pay up front for something that I had no way of knowing I'd enjoy or not, specifically in this sort of pseudo-contractual sort of season pass way. I'd rather wait to find out if each piece sounds interesting, and buy it based on that.

I would definitely pay money for more quality content based in Columbia, but I'm going to wait and see what the first set of DLC looks like, if it's good, I'll probably just pony up for the Season Pass at that point.

I'll wait till I hear more about the DLC.

If you really want more Infinite, than you should probably get the season pass. I loved Saints Row 3 to the point that I was unable to see that the DLC wasn't great. I was just happy to be playing more Saints Row, regardless of quality.

Where is the option to vote "Yea"? That's what I would have voted.

How so? If you mean pre-paying before knowing the quality of the content, then yes that would be stupid. But what does getting a discount for buying all at once have to do with unlimited supplies?

After beating the game, i honestly have no idea lol. I'll have to wait until they release the first DLC, i'd love to get back into the world, but not sure how they can do it well.

Since I missed out on the early bird stuff I will wait

That was my first point.

My second point was that incredibly early pre-purchasing (of both, DLCs and full game releases) would only make sense from the customer's point of view if the product was in limited supply.

yeah i bought it, it was only £16. if it ends up being shit im sure i will get over the loss.

I bought it before I bought the game.

Can you tell that I trust Irrational?

I'll see what they announce first, but after having finished the game last night, I'm definitely interested in what they're planning.

Season Passes are always a gamble unless you're willing to wait for the actual content to come out so the people who were suckered into buying one can tell you if its any good or not.

I normally don't subscribe the to the idea of a season pass for the reasons argued here already, but if you know you're going to buy the DLC anyway, why not buy upfront with a discount? I want more of this game. Lots more.

Pass

No way. I don't need more side-stories or prequel content for Infinite. I thought the game was fun but I won't play it again, the combat wasn't all that.

Against my better judgement, I did buy the season pass.

Having now finished the game, I'll be really disappointed if it's just new gear or tonics. Best case though, is it's something like Minervias Den, which I really did enjoy from Bioshock 2.

Damn that's a near perfect split.

Season Passes in general?

No!

Season Pass for Bioshock Infinite?

Ill wait on it in case it turns out to be shit DLC.

No just buy the DLC when it comes out that you want, why would you gamble on DLC for like 10% of the final price upfront?

I really would love the DLC to be something big, like you play as comstock creating Columbia and fighting off the Chinese, but I will only give them my money if it's worthwhile.

^^^^^^^^^

OP said it best, Saints Row 3 burned me (still love that base game) so I'll wait and see. If we get another dlc like Minerva's Den then I'm on board.

I didn't go for the season pass since I have absolutely no idea what the DLC is going to be, and if Saints Row 3 taught us anything, its that even good games can have pretty awful DLC.

Paying for bad content without knowing about it first hand is always worst than paying more later if the content turns out great.

Yeah, but only because Gamestop threw in the Strategy Guide with art for free.

Can I pre-order it?

I went ahead and caved and got the Season Pass because I read that it gives you 5 more infusions and Gold Guns, and I need those gold guns for my 1999 run. Only the most falsest of shepherds walk with gold guns.

I was kind of bummed that, although you get 5 more infusions, you have to pick them up at the Blue Ribbon almost at the beginning, and by the time I bought the Pass, I was already up to Finkton Docks. Maybe next time, on 1987 mode.

The season pass comes free with the game in my country.

I will buy the season pass when there are two packs out and they seem worthwhile. I'm not going to buy content that hasn't even been announced beyond, "we'll make some things."

People here are down about season passes. I have no problem with them. It's a discount over the normal DLC price (or tends to be. if not, you're doing something really dumb by buying). The problem is buying it before you know what you're getting.

I may have already bought it.

Not for me, just going to wait for the enevitable GOTY edition
