Kombat pack overpriced

[Deleted member 35141]

Now that shang tsung is out I figured I would buy the kombat pack. Got some questions though.

Am I missing something if we go by frost and shao every character should be 5.99 which would equal about 36 $ yet the pack is 40$?
Usually when you buy a season pass you get a discount if thats the case are they really trying to price each character at 9-10$ each individually.
I'm all for dlc characters but this may be getting alittle rediculous, or its just me?

Yeah that's ridiculous. With the Kombat Pack you also have the "premium" skins, that's why we pay $40 instead of $36. It is still overpriced anyways, I2's season pass was $40 for more content (9 characters + "premium" skins and shaders)

 

[GLoRToR]

People buy it for that price.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Weren't KPs less characters than 6 in the past tho?

I feel like they were 4 characters, so that's probably why they were cheaper.

 

[Juggs]

$4 more? The absolute horror

We are getting 6 characters for $40. Street Fighter V has charged more for fucking skins. Don't like the price? Stick with the main roster. Very simple.

 

[Kindred]

Can you buy the characters individually or not yet?

You probably will be when they are released for non kombat pack owners (1 week later)

I don’t mind the price, I paid more in other games for less.

Guess you didnt read the rest of my post.

I could care less about SFV, and thats a real bad attitude to have with dlc. No wonder they think this shit is ok

Honestly, just wait a while longer. The game already is on sale for $10 less. At this rate, you might find a better deal.

I'm happy to give money to games I love. I'll play this game for hundreds upon hundreds of hours over the next few years. NRS does a killer job on DLC so it's well worth it to me. NRS DLC characters have been pretty much the same price since 2011.

It's fine.

DLC by it's nature is overpriced, but the best advice I can give you is to wait and only purchase the characters you want if the price comes off as too steep. If you only like Shang and Sindel o whatever combo that will save money for you. That price also includes skins and possibly other stuff we aren't aware of so there's that.

$6 for a characters with all the skins, gear, intros outros, dialogue, etc. is not too much. Also, remember that you're getting 6 characters, early access to those 6 characters, 19 skins (according to the most recent trailer from Netherrealm), and free sets of gear. To me that is well worth the price.

Wait! They're not giving us the first season pass for free like SNK is doing with Samurai Shodown?

I wouldn’t say it’s terribly overpriced but It doesn’t sound as good as you think it does. But go off

Thats actually Godlike! For a company to go against the grain like that, I fully support.

 

[Kratilim]

I think the DLC characters will cost more than Frost and Shao Kahn. I'd expect them to be about 9.99 or something. It would be weird if the combined deal would cost more... just wait and see.

 

[trufenix]

frost is free if you play the game, so was shao kahn if you pre-ordered. That's why they're discounted.

 

[cfw]

I mean you also gotta factor in the guest characters.

 

[Dabluprint4]

Just.... don’t buy it.. it’s optional...

 

[imblackjames]

should have preordered it with the game......

 

[Deleted member 35141]

Welp don't know what I was expecting half the people only read the first sentence or just say don't buy it.

My questions were answered lol, just wait and see now.

6 characters for $40 bucks... wtf. thats as big as a rip off i've ever heard. Put in another 20 bucks and your pretty much paying for the game again. Are people really this stupid to think this is acceptable

6 dollars a charcter pretty much the going rate for any dlc charcter.
