Rhyolitic said:Except this bundle also contains all the other mini-story missions (something like close to $40 on their own) that were released, along with the cosmetics, so it's more than just the base game + prophecy. A couple of those story arcs are also farmable, like Maelstrom of Carnage & (iirc) Forgotten Arsenal. *shrug* I think it's worth it, but that may just be me.
Its not just you! Sorry, I did agree, it is a good price for the bundle, and am thoroughly enjoying the game at the moment. I'm yet to try Maelstrom but the other content packs are just a 3-mission assignment that rewards you a cosmetic at the end, nothing exciting at all. The "Seasons" are far more interesting. The pets are just annoying and offer no benefit.
I'm just bitter on their DLC practices and how they choose to offer discounts. The game is certainly better with friends, which means you need to buy Gold, so not entirely sure who the complete bundle is targeted at. I'd have grabbed Prophecy if it was just a 30% discount to make the complete edition still appealing.
While I'm being bitter, worth mentioning the game's campaign stages are all solo ONLY. If you want to progress and unlock things like crafting, assignments, void missions, you need to complete the campaign stages by yourself, of which there is no small number, 30+ or something. Makes sense from a story perspective but no reason they couldn't have had a guest tag along for the ride. The new DLC character, Tech-Adept cannot complete this campaign either, presumably so they didn't have to voice all the campaign dialogue, it can only complete the Prophecy campaign missions. I went in expecting a co-op experience similar to Neocore's other titles (if you can have two "Van Helsings" in one story, why not two Inquisitors?) - I stand corrected :)
Just did some price checks...
W40K:I:M Imperium Edition - 70% off ~AU$25 - Includes all content items
except Prophecy.
W40K:I:M Complete Edition - 70% off ~AU$32 - Imperium + Prophecy
Going by that, if they were being fair, Prophecy should be worth ~AU$7 (or 70% off).
No sale from me.
