Skins! - Pricing, Comparison, and Expectations

That’s cool beans. Halo 5 has all DLC free and gave out free stuff.
Was a full priced game and has micro-transactions.
No excuse for this game to be full priced, season pass AND micro-transactions D:<

I’d definitely buy the skin if it comes with new sound and maybe a change in the color of attacks.

For example, Orendi’s pillars could be a different color.BUT, not sure how this would work out with other characters like oscar mike…

You completely contradicted yourself. Very wise of you good sir.

Educate me my good sir.

All the season pass does is give you story content. All the multiplayer stuff and characters are free.

Halo 5 gave people free multiplayer content too but it also doesnt offer free Single Player content.

Food for thought.

Hes saying it shouldnt have a paid season pass is all. He didnt contradict himself.

Season pass gives more than just story DLC.

Yes, early access to characters and 5 hero keys.

However those characters are free and just require patience to unlock without the hero keys. Getting them is really just a perk.

There is also skin and taunts only available through the season pass

Is that confirmed? I had read it that season pass gave you access to the DLC and the DLC had unique skins/taunts.

I think GBX needs to come up with a better structure for skin -prices and needs to define what makes a tier !

I’d definitely pay for them. Heck, I’ve already did it - I play only PVE mode, and when I preordered deluxe version it means I paid for all my content.

The bummer about the DLC PvE stuff is that it’s even shorter than the 8 missions in the game.

Well Sir,

I would be inclined to agree with you if those things were indeed free.

Those game modes, maps and characters were paid for when I purchased $60 game + $20 season pass. I guess I’m starting to feel like we should be grateful to GBX for providing something we already paid for.

I’m not debating whether or not they have a place in the game but having personally dropped $80 on the game not counting microtransactions I’m not getting any content for “free”

Oh yea, you should add Elder Scrolls Online to the list. Those are some of the most expensive cosmetic microtranactions I think I have ever seen.

I don’t know the pricing for that. If you want to post them in more-or-less the same fashion that I did, I will gladly post them.

Same for anyone else. If anyone would like something added to the list, I can make that happen.
(I couldn’t find a good source for Paragon’s Model)

Not so…

I believe that honor belongs to elder scrolls online.

750 crowns - $7.99

Special mounts 2,500 crowns (sometimes more)

For example

Edit: to put that into perspective that’s approximately $20 for a cosmetic change to your in game transportation.

Here is a link to the price list if you are curious

Definitely not trying to defend GBX but wanted to drop that fyi.

True.
Though Halo 5 has a story rather than tacked along missions to make up a story.
I’m also still curious on how the single player content will be played by people who don’t have the season pass. I mean, if I can play the stages, am I just paying the season pass for a few skins and auto unlocks for characters?

…you got me there. Though that game is an mmorpg rather than an FPS/MOBA, which normally has pricey markets, but ya still got me.

Season pass holders can play the dlc missions. Will probably be a separate playlist we can only access.
