so don’t buy it, or anything else, then everything you get will be valued perfectly and/or wait for the new system, maybe you’ll like it

is this your real job?! defending db/sd on pretty much every thread, keep up the good work!!

keep spending money on useless crap before game release, then complain that things get changed, yeah that’ll work

I’m not defending anyone, just pointing out obvious stupidity, as long as people think a different line of code somehow makes them superior, game companies will exploit “collectors”

I think it’s hilarious, btw, I’m retired, I do this for amusement

So the defacto way for a new Dirty Bomb player to start is to drop $60 on the bundle. You can argue whatever, but that is without a doubt going to be the new baseline. Like the game? Get the bundle.

That puts Dirty Bomb into the same pool as actual, full fat, triple A games on day of release. Horizon: Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy XV, Total War: Warhammer II, etc. Game of the year quality stuff. Think on that for a second. The difference in quality, scope; it’s an almost absurd comparison.

Now notice I didn’t mention some of the more obvious comparisons. Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Destiny 2.

See, cause Dirty Bomb still has immense amounts of RNG. If you buy the bundle, you’re paying for a full price triple A game with lootboxes. Kinda like those two games, you know, the games almost everybody hates.

Except have you seen those games? With their fucking eye-searingly gorgeous pixels? Put all the controversy aside for a second, have you seen those games? If you want to viscerally experience Star Wars, to sensorially submerge yourself into that universe, Battlefront 2 is the way to go. Destiny 2… that game is a hot mess. Let’s not talk about Destiny 2.

Compare that to this weird Aimee thing we got that looks sorta like… Eminem… I guess? If you crossed your eyes? And then if he were crossed with some sorta newt maybe? Like she’s kinda… all smooth… with a very odd head shape and kinda… damp looking…

Look, what I’m trying to say here is that she’s pretty ugly.

Anyway.

Why would you do that to yourself?





If somebody where to ask me how to spend their $60, I would either have to utterly loathe them or be insane to recommend Dirty Bomb over this.

$4.99 for a re-issue is OK

I find it sad that I’m disagreeing with most of the people here. Then again I came from MWO and my favorite tablet games are FFbe and Legion of Heroes. Their prices are what you’d expect. Also, everything is COSMETIC. Seriously, why would you complain about cosmetic prices? If you’re not interested in the bling, then don’t get it.

Personally I’m really tempted to drop the 50 to get the all Merc pass and the 5 Obsidians. And I’ve at this point only spent around 70 on this game and I’m quite happy. Comparing it to PoE where literally a stash tab or an effect can be upwards of 15 dollars PER is easily showing me which game I would spend on.

Hum… https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase

Every league (around every 3 months), there are new packs with the same price. And more skins are in the store for points but are even more expensive (at least 25$ of points for that one skin that is actually in promotion). And im pretty sure they make more money with those packs that SD are doing with theirs in DB.


(Xenithos) #27

Actually, to make a point. @Mc1412013 if you hadn’t spent money on DB yet, and your kids still loved DB, would you drop the 50$ per kid to allow them to have instant access to all Merc forever, and have 5 unique skins?

I would.

That is not a criticism aimed solely at Dirty Bomb. I do not know anything about Path of Exiles so I will take your words at face value, but to be on the safe side, I’ll leave it at that. If you really want me to say don’t buy Path of Exiles merch, then “probably don’t buy Path of Exiles merch cause @Ptiloui seems to be indicating it is not a good idea.” You may quote me on that.

Honestly, i’m not even defending Splash Damage or saying that Path of Exile’s merch are overpriced, i’m just trying to make you (not only you but everyone ^^) understand that even if it may seem those cards are overpriced, their price are actually a fair price, for both SD and us.

But we both agree on the same thing : people should spend their money on what they think will bring them more enjoyment.

DB I’m general is already in the same spot as CS and TF2 for me.
F2P or low Base price and a lot of opportunities to throw your money into the river.
If they proceed to add a marketplace for DB on the Community market it might as well be in the exact same boat as all the others.

Move to Russia/India, you will get it for 15$ instead of 46$ :wink:
