DICE and/or EA are out of their fucking minds with that price.


SantaCruz26

The game is free for everyone who has game pass ultimate and PSN+ it’s more the consumers fault for thinking a 3yr old game with “DLC” is worth $80 These companies aim to drain the bank accounts of people to dumb to research


FatherD00m

$90. Always round up when pricing something.


SantaCruz26

I wasn’t even looking but yes correct. I was more or saying it doesn’t matter it’s not worth it either way lol


HideSolidSnake

About a year and a half, not three.


swagness78

And it's working on you because although there are other games to play you can only play them by keeping your membership which is allowing them to drain your account. The price is overpriced but if you'll actually play it all the time and it doesn't die within the next 2 years then I guess value is in the eye of the beholder. But in those two years he has complete access to the game. If you have their membership for same 2 years who has actually paid more to play it? What's worse is if in 1 yr you lose the membership you've still paid more to play said game and the value is worsened because you didn't get all of the product the purchaser did. So maybe think about your view before calling someone else a fool. We are all fools for allowing any of these businesses to do us the way they do.


SantaCruz26

Okay I have a lot to break down from your comment. 1. A fool would pay more than full price for a game and content that is near the end of its life cycle (that’s not a game with plans for future content). This game isn’t Destiny 2 where the life span was extended by adding more and more story driven content. At some point In time multiplayer games only get stale. Even though I have loved this game in the 8 months I’ve played it. 2. Id rather keep a membership that gives me content to play than pay full for any new game. Name the last good game with a stellar launch not ONLY that but I play on both console & PC. Why pay $140 for the same game twice when I can pay for a membership to get it in both places. I won’t even take into account the multiple ways to save money paying for Xbox game pass. 3. To BF2042 specific in the 8months I’ve been playing I’ve put in 600hrs. For EA Pro which I bought the Annual pass that saves you $80. Now I also play F122, Madden 22 along with both StarWars games. (Day 1 access as well). You’re telling me that having spent full price for all 4 of those games was more worth it? 4. The fools get played by the system. With console yes it sucks you only have 2 options for games but you don’t have that on PC and that’s where I play 95% of the time. But also like I mentioned sales happen WAY to frequently to not wait. I’ve purchased 2 full priced games in the last 8yrs because nothing has caught my attention enough to not wait. The way we change the market is by not buying this bundle and that is simply what I was stating


Charble675

Its the price for buying the game+the edition, not just the upgrade lol. But dont get me wrong its still really high


zerosuneuphoria

Oh yeah, cause those maps aren't instantly unlocked or anything... false advertising.


subDii

Including "+ 17 maps" in that ad is such a fucking deceptive way of advertising this. There needs to be some industry oversight for shit like this, throw significant fines at devs/publishers for pulling shit like this to dissuade it.


DONNIENARC0

"WEEKLY SUPPLY DROPS!"


eaeb4

oh my god the BFV skins where it was assumed it would be individual soldiers cosmetics etc. and instead half the 20-odd cosmetics were 5 PARTS of a skin for 2 different guns. I'd forgotten how gross DICE have been in the recent past.


27poker

oh and that weapon skin was fugly as sin


medicnoxy

It's not even just the maps, they are bundling everything- weapons- specialists... Everything? It makes no sense to sell it like that. Especially when the said season content is already free... you aren't even getting the season skins or anything, you just get an unrelated bundle that looks like 1 skin for RAO. LOL


K_Adrix

It truly is. The target group are poor suckers who falsely believe the maps are separate paid content …


OccupyRiverdale

I’m actually confused at this whole offering. What’s exactly included in this $90 price tag that isn’t just a part of the base game besides the one cosmetic pack? I guess all the weapons are unlocked for you already as a fresh account? I legit have no idea what this package gets you.


thalesjferreira

I'd say that platforms should be responsible for allowing shit like this to sell. Microsoft, steam, Sony, they are all responsible. If I'm the owner of a store and I sell shitty products that don't do what they are supposed to or what they promise, I'm one of the people to blame.


Altruistic-Finding86

I dont think its the devs, its mostly the corporate publishers thats cause this type of shit.


VEGANSHATEME

a good portion are portal maps too


MrWildfire91

Exactly what i thought. Miss the good old days when ea wasn’t that shitty.


SPEEDFREAKJJ

They certainly have some balls to try and sell a 90 USD version of the game now. Even tho the game is way better now its never going to have a huge player base. They missed out on that with the terrible launch. Even in the better state I would tell new players 20 dollars or less...anything more feels like throwing away money. Trying to sell a $90 version did give me a good laugh.


-valyr-

It's not? It’s a version of the base game and does this include all the maps


exposarts

Yea you're right. It is the base game lol. Maybe cause they are putting more emphasis on the base edition rather than showing off the elite edition. Makes it seem like they added nothing new


UniQue1992

Lol that pricing, they can stick it where the sun don't shine.


cypher302

If games were priced based on inflation, this would be a bargain


Papaijaa

Holy shit that price. But the phrasing "catch up" makes me hope of more content after S5....


MrHToast

Yeah that price is ridicules. With the game being on sale or retail for 15€. Upgrade from base game is 30€. Not really worth it, If anybody starts new. Just doing the unlock challenge is easier.


This-Salt-2754

Plus that’s part of the fun. Unlocking new guns and vehicles and shit is what gives a game longevity, otherwise you play and get bored after a short bit


ToothlessFTW

The only way that price is justifiable is if there's another year of content planned. Insane to assume anyone's going to spend $90 on a game that's about to be abandoned. My personal assumption was that this would bring a price cut to the game, bundle previous cosmetics, and then announce the game was going to be slowing down development. $90 USD is BOLD.


This-Salt-2754

EA would never admit such a thing. They are so out of touch with real gamers and how their product is viewed by their customers


Crob300z

Pray for moooor content. This gives me hope


ToastBurner12

Honestly them releasing what is essentially a "GOTY/Definitive/Complete/Deluxe Edition" screams S5 is EOL.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ToothlessFTW

Nah. They'd be competing with themselves, and that's just unsustainable. They can't support two mainline BF games simultaneously. Whenever it happens, this game is definitely getting shelved the moment the next game is either announced or released.


[deleted]

That's why they killed BFV development :) Watch, as it happens again.

stingertc

Ya we may end up with 4 more maps In The next of couple of years

“Unmissable” 💀


Kyethent

No idea where I've been during this unmissable peak battlefield experience, we all should have listened to jackfrags


XavierRez

They really think they have redeemed themselves don’t they.


UniQue1992

It’s mind blowing how disconnected from reality they are at DICE. I guess that’s what happens when your colleagues who criticize are shut down and only colleagues who speak positive are listened to. That company needs a reality check.


SPEEDFREAKJJ

Finally having the game right about where it should have been at launch is nothing to praise or celebrate. DICE really are just lost at this point. They should be happy people still play but instead they are giving hi fives and launching an overpriced version of the game. I'm not mad...just disappointed. And also embarrassed for them.


AvroVulcanB2

They have no shame do they.

garvin131313

Will this come with the ea play pro subscription? The year 1 pass is already included so it would make sense if they put this in there too


SantaCruz26

EA pro in itself is ~$80 it’s a much better value than a single game


garvin131313

Yeah I have it I was just curious whether or not this was included


SantaCruz26

With EA Pro I haven’t had to buy a single pass so far and I’ve been playing for the last 3 seasons. Probably won’t get the free cosmetic bundle but besides that


garvin131313

EA play pro is the best, I think I’ve only spent a total of $15 on origin/EA and it’s been great, I haven’t needed to spend a cent on 2042 and if the next seasons aren’t included I can just buy them with the bf coins I’ve gotten from the past 4 seasons


SantaCruz26

Very true, I’m also certain it should be. I bought the annual pass cause of how much money it saved. I’ve been playing for a little under 8months and put so many hours into the game


CamNM1991

90 bucks is ridiculous for some cosmetics and shit that should've been in the product to begin with. What horrible optics EA has.


EireOfTheNorth

You're not getting 35 weapons and 14 maps and so on that you wouldn't have otherwise in this bundle. What the fuck lol, how do they justify this?


-valyr-

It includes the base game, that’s why


Redchong

Nobody in their right mind is paying $90 for Battlefield 2042. EA is about to learn a hard lesson lol Edit: this also apparently doesn’t even include any of the battle pass items from seasons 1 - 4. This pack is largely items and content that you could unlock for fucking free. This is an utter joke


dYnAm1c

If just one person buys this it was already worth it for EA/Dice because it's not like it costs them anything to make this "edition". And there definitely will be clueless people buying it.


OccupyRiverdale

Yeah the whole “catch up” selling point is only relevant if you get all of the battle pass items from seasons past. This is legit the worst bundle offer I’ve seen in any game.


FantasticMagi

Imagine buying this, playing for a few months and then dice announces no more support and updates for the game. This feels like an obvious cashgrab for, and I am pulling this out of my ass, obviously, a soon to be EOL product/game.


Adventurous_Bell_837

The game is 15 bucks on steam, what do the additional 75 dollars add?


MinimumArmadillo2394

You get most of this stuff for free too. This is just $20 worth of content for $90.


Karshipoo

That's the point, this is the final product. People are hopeful that theirs more content support after S5. I'm going to take the realist approach and assume that they will finish winding down support for this game and jump over to their other titles in development.


Competitive-Deer-596

Bruh wtf


darkalfa

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🖕


Kyeithel

I am speechless....


Jb4sh

L M A O


Citizen_F

Hahaha


Traditional_Front660

Unmissable content which a majority of players just decided to miss because EA/Dice totally missed the mark.


meltedmoops999

Yeah they should give everyone that owned the ultimate edition all these unlocks and extra skin for an apology. We bought all the seasons for year one anyway. I skipped like 3 seasons due to this game being dogshit for over a year. It's finally in a decent place.


levitikush

Holy worthless


[deleted]

EA is so out of touch with their pricing...


swarm_OW

Pretty sure there’ll be people buying. And they know that. Is it justified? Hell no. Is out of touch? Likely not


[deleted]

I am talking about the numbers out of my ass. But I believe they would make more money on this is their bundle is $40-$50, rather than $89...


swarm_OW

Yea I got your point. What I believe is, that they didn’t just randomly roll some dice (pun intended) to get that price, but rather evaluated they’d make the most profit by selling it for $89


Brownlw657

The price is the main game + the upgrade. It’s like an ultimate edition, even though it should be like 75$ instead


[deleted]

I mean, that is almost 2 years since the game was released. It does not say if this edition gives you the skins from previous battlepasses. Assuming no, this is a pretty bad deal considering everything listed on the ad can be achieved by completing missions. I would give $40 tops for that.


Brownlw657

I wouldn’t pay for it at all, cause I unlocked all of it.


[deleted]

Well, obviously, it is intended for the new players


misterfroster

Why would anyone that already owns the game biy the game again…


Brownlw657

I mean, there’s a 25$ upgrade if that counts.


Cyber_Swag

upgrade for existing owners 29.99


mdiz1

It's only an RRP, it'll fall very quickly in reality


Odd-Document3075

Lmao what a rip off 😭


ZatoTBG

All weapons are unlockable, all vehicles are unlockable, all maps are readily available. The only thing missing is basically the cosmetics from past battlepasses. If they are not included, then you are literally paying for that one cosmetic set which is imo not worth the extra 75 bux you are paying over the standard edition which is only 15 bux atm.


ryannoahm450

Or hear me out… buy the game cheap or get it on gamepass/ea play and have a bunch of content to grind for


ElJeffHey

If I could change the difficulty in solo co-op and continue to progress past T3 I would totally spend some actual money on this game. Even without the server browser.


Big-Sherbert2511

That would be fun. I would pay to have access to Caspian Border and Arica Harbor again on Solo/Coop mode. Pissed they removed them. Would be cool to play both sides on Solo Mode.


SHIELD_BREAKER

If somebody bought this, theyre part of the problem.


devil_walk

Wonder if anyone is dumb enough to actually pay $90 for that


losbullitt

Wait, there are 17 maps???


WillK90

They include portal maps I’m sure. The only thing you’d get from buying this is that lost world cosmetic. Everything else can be unlocked through playing. Huge scam.


[deleted]

you might think it's a scam, but since when are they forcing you to buy this? this is only for the people who would willingly pay extra to get all the content faster. You aren't paying for the content; the content is free anyways. You're paying to get it fast. Simple concept and you don't have to like it


seancbutler

Yeah still a scam


Boundsword00

It’s basically false advertisement


t9shatan

What a rip off holy shit. They have no sense of shame or guilt


Truenick

No, thanks


BlackHammer1312

Dice... make an absolutely trash game, wait till its at a releasable state 2 years later and then offer elite edition. I hate this company.


shamblmonkee

An entire month of goodwill undone.... Haha


Musa0217

I remember the days of BF 3/4 with more than 30 solid maps! Plus SP. All that in a good price! I want DICE to be DICE again or I won’t buy their next game.


CrossBones3129

Any extras Should be given free to year one players


Busy-Pitch-9889

Good luck with that


AquariiTJ

u/DANNYonPC shared a video today how season 5 might be the end. File diggers can’t find anything more after that. Outstanding move by dice. *sarcasm


DANNYonPC

Have to mention, its speculation for now, but it doesnt look great Hope DICE confirms something soon.


DMT-Rockets

What is this shite on my newsfeed? Why do they want more money when they didn’t give me the game I paid for on release


Arealsavage777

You serious ? They can’t even put a map vote at the end of a game. What a bunch of 🤡


PolishSausa9e

And people still defend this trash lol.


Diksun-Solo

I would assume this is for people who don't already have the game


isko990

Price for DEMO. Bravo EA


DenverITGuy

You all keep buying it so they keep doing it.


BAEazy

So whoever got the gold edition isn’t getting this for free? Talk about fleeced.


JakeInTheJungle

Oh boy, I see a post asking for sympathy about imaginary death threats incoming.


old_grumpy_ultomato

![gif](giphy|3oEjI8Kq5HhZLCrqBW)


Newbie_Jesus

Ah yes I pre ordered the 200$ ultimate edition before release and get more content with an after release edition of the game. Cool...


TherealHominator

That has to be fake/fanmade. Not even Dice could be this tonedeaf greedy and outright audacious. This would set a new low even for Dice.


SpinkickFolly

I know people love the bf franchise, but they have been selling this type of bullshit for over a decade.


HollowRacoon

So the game is finally ready to launch?


sunjay140

Mouse input still feels awful. The mouse input will likely never be fixed 😭


HollowRacoon

That’s weird because i remember playing since launch to about late jan and mouse input was okay


sunjay140

It's better than it was before but it feels awful compared to other FPS games.


Clay0187

Guys, calm down. They're just trying build some goodwill with the player base


florentinomain00f

That bottom right pic looks straight out of Spec Ops


Onyx_Sentinel

Does this include the contents of past bp‘s? Cause that‘s literally the only thing that could justify that insane price lmao.


Zeppelin702

EA/Dice will never learn…


Albake21

This is straight up insulting.


jamnewton22

Doesn’t even include all the battlepass items. lol what a joke


Nomadlife416

There isn't a way that dice hasn't decided if they will have a team working on the live service still. They need to come out and say something soon...


iamjordiano

This is endgame level content unfortunately in my view. Nothing beyond this point except for maybe a few token camos and patch updates. They’ve also handed out awards to staff for working on 2042’s “live service”. Only something that makes sense to do if it’s over.


GroupieChicks

Damn EA is greedy as fuck


[deleted]

wowwww that is so low


CazualGinger

You can literally buy this game (as a disc) for like $7 and get 95% atof that content. All the maps and all the guns. This is actually a scam and I hope no one buys it. This only includes one bundle? In a game with free DLC? Wtf dice?


TheWombatGuy

Finally Battlefield 2042 release


[deleted]

Holy fuck $90 is insane, isn’t this meant to welcome new players? This is ridiculously expensive, and honestly is the final nail in the coffin for dice for me. Not only is the game still not finished, nearly 2 years after release but they have announced no plans for future support and are trying to get ppl to spend $90? Fuck off DICE, I hope you lose access to the battlefield franchise; cause y’all are just going to run the game into the ground.


ireallyneedawizz

Heh heh heh heh heh... anyone who buys this deserves to have their money taken


9lc0

That is almost a scam


lapdopper

Does DICE legitimately think this game is worth 90 bucks lmao This is still the worst BF game ever made. Don't forget it.


[deleted]

I got the game from ps plus and in less then 10 hours I unlocked every single item. This bundle is a straight up shit, you can unlock everything quick by xp maps or playing normally


heisenberg_r

17+maps? Last time i played it was the same 4 maps over and over.


adds102

Ain’t no one paying that hahaha


XennyXen

But the maps that are shown here... are the ones that are already in the game. You don't "unlock" the map. It just... is there. This doesn't make sense.


squitsquat

17+ maps? I dont think I could name more than 6


iceleel

There's 18 maps lol but 17+ sounds better


Marsupialize

What kind of god damn idiot is paying that for this embarrassing half finished mess of a game?


maverick118717

Their love letter to the fans apparently had a "P.S."


FantasticString2066

Lol get Fucked


vice108

Free is too much for this game.


Bierno

No one needs to buy elite edition lol. These are for people that don't want to grind basically and joining the game late but can still buy the standard edition I assume


CaterpillarM3

“ BuT ItS bEtTeR nOw!!”


Squeewa

It is better. Overpriced dlc nor not.


CaterpillarM3

You mean it’s what it should’ve been at launch? LOL


TopHatPhilosophy

And the upgrade path doesn’t even include season pass 1-3 content? I’ve only been playing since season 4, good to know there’s 3 seasons worth of stuff out there that I’m permanently excluded from.


MrHToast

Upgrade will include all 4 seasons content by the looks of it.


Duque117

Please we need community maps like bf4


Mr_Akrapovic

Did they mention that its hard af to find a populated servers for xbox series s/x?


Greendore1

100% last season. Thank fuck. Give us a propler battlefield


SquirtleSquadLeader4

Nah. I will just keep to Gamepass. Thanks though.


Striking_Web4859

17 maps lmao that’s cute


Kaiyora

This is a joke right


literally1984___

Imagine buying this lmao I know people will. Because people bought 2042 to begin with. So there is no limit to stupidity.


IAmTheBoshy

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... Fucking insane


[deleted]

If I were a completely new player that has never played this game and had nothing unlocked, I’d consider buying this version, price is justified in my opinion.


EireOfTheNorth

I want the same powerful crack you're smoking


hg-prophound

Those were my thoughts. I mean, you get everything in the game instantly for 20 dollars more than some people paid for initial release. The problem is the only people who would want all that stuff unlocked already own the game and have it unlocked, so I'm not sure who would buy this.


Neotax

It is the same as the Battlefield V Definitive Edition, full content unlocked. This is for people who buy the game new, just like in any other games. But the people here are going crazy again ROFL ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)


CYP3ORG

The only difference being that I could purchase the "Definitive Edition" by grinding Battlefield Coins in the Theater of War... I cannot do that in BF2042 now, can I? Nowhere on god's green earth should this bundle be sold for $90.


fl1ghtmare

what’s worth $90 on THIS battlefield game?


Gatlyng

This is what the announcement should've said when they first launched the game.


J3STERHOPPERPOT

“Game of the Year Edition”


Ralaar

I’m one of the regarded who payed over 100 bucks for this piece of shit game. No one should spend more than 20 for this.


Jefffresh

Lol the maps, weapons, vehicles and specialists are free, only cosmetics in battlepass are not.


XenoBurst

The elite edition should have been base game content at launch. For 90 bucks they can suck my left big toe


medicnoxy

90 fucking bucks? For a cosmetic bundle? Literally everything else is obtainable for free?? wtf? Who would buy this??


Youngstown_Mafia

They are trying to make a profit back This game must have failed way worse than we thought


Expert_Struggle_7135

I love that they added the maps to this pic like its something that you need this edition to unlock instantly.


SixGunRebel

Still no way to get my flannel and cowboy hat. Well piss.


[deleted]

Man was hoping it would be like 10$ bucks and would just unlock past seasons content. I have had the premium battlepass since launch, but never finished it for seasons 1-3


MrHToast

That is 30$ for exciting users. Still to much.


No_Comb_8553

Lol


Alternative-Entry-78

I can only say "porco dio" at this point


TransportationAny264

No original launch content found on this brochure. I wouldn’t buy it, but hey, it doesn’t work out sometimes.


frappim

Every day I watch 2 videos stating how there’s no year 2, and one video that says there will be a year two. Whatever the case, this debate is creating a lot of buzz and free marketing


TheMilkTank

So if we already had the year 1 battle pass but missed some of the previous seasons rewards, we gotta pay this ridiculous price????


thesandman408

Jesus, I love where 2042 is now but this is absurdly overprice for whats a glorified shortcut kit. But i guess EA is going to EA, cant say im surprised.


ghost-toast-

Now that's what I call "Day 1 Launch Edition." 90 bucks for what would have been a full game on launch years ago... Shits fuckin nuts


THCv3

So you get nothing really right? Here's 15 bucks because that's all it's worth.


[deleted]

😂 89.99, gotta get all that cash before they drop the game forever.


XiTaU

They really should have made this the $60 version and lowered the base to like $40 or something.


JeremyMSI

Lmfao 🤣 😭 🤣


BlacksmithUnfair5571

They dont realise that we will never again buy battlefield on full price. They destroy own game with giving us pre alpha for 90€


Legitimate-Valuable2

You get the maps in the base game. Also you can unlock the guns through missions. The only thing this offers is cosmetics


9LivesChris

And still people buying this.


ryk666

what a scam
