I paid $24 for the Season Pass and I feel like I will get my money's worth on it with Far Harbor, Mechanist, Nuka World and maybe VaultTech stuff.
If I had to pay $50 I would not be a happy camper.
FYI for sales, looks like 3.353 mil on SteamSpy so figure triple that for overall numbers on Fallout 4 "sold to customers" give or take a few percentage points. I.E. the game sold just over 10 mil to customers.

Pretty much just bother because boy does it pay to be a water merchant. They should've probably focused less on Minecraft nonsense and more building successful businesses, but then it probably wouldn't have been so exploitable.

I've enjoyed everything so far and look forward to both the Vault add-on and the Nuka-World story but I'm not quite sure why they're ending it here.
They must be pressured by Bethesda to get Todd Howards team fully dedicated on Elder Scrolls 6. Maybe to the publisher they feel that waiting another 5 or more years for an entry isn't acceptable and feel that additional DLC would be a distraction.

I dont get why Bethesda is considered one of the good developers when it comes to DLC.
Yeah Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles were good but that's forgetting about the boatload of crap that also came out. Fallout 3 had 5 DLCs and the only one I'd venture to call good is Point Lookout.
In this game where money means nothing

This season pass has been a joke from the beginning. First a $30 announcement of nothing, then shady price hike because they're bringing DAT VALUE, and predictably it turns out to be filler.
I'll help you Bethesda, this is how it should have gone down:
First announcement: Season Pass, 3 add ons, here's some details:
Smaller story, no new landmass, $5 standalone
2 big DLCs, both new landmasses, dozens of hours of content, $15 each standalone
Season Pass will be $25.
Done. Add the usual PR fluff and that's what the pre-release SP announcement should have looked like. Announce more details for each DLC as their individual releases approach. No announcements of nothing, no bullshit price hikes because more nothing is coming, just enough details upfront so that people know what they're getting.
Workshop DLCs should have been free releases in-between the larger DLCs.. Most mods out there offer better content than this. Charging for them is just shamelessly padding the dollar sign of the pass.
$50 for what's on offer is a robbery. It's barely worth the $30 that most people were pressured into spending.

"If we announce weeks beforehand that they're getting the SP $20 cheaper then they'll all buy it as if it were that price by default anyway; we'll create the illusion that they're getting their money's worth simply because they confirmed their decision to buy it and bought it nice and quick."
Like, "Hey guys! Give us $30 and you won't have to give us 50! (Even though the content isn't worth 50, if 30... ha ha ha."
(AKA the price never increased.)
That's how I perceive this to be anyway, tbh fam.
Still, it's not like the content is hugely disappointing.

Same here.
well they have ES6 and three other projects. granted they're divided between studios, but asking for more DLC is a bridge too far (in spite of the price issue)

I'd laugh even harder at the people who tried to defend the price hike. And maybe the people who were duped into then immediately buying the season pass because the imminent price hike created the illusion of greater value.

At $30 the season pass was worth it without a doubt but after that price hike ehhh not so much. I hope Nuka-World surprises me.
It means nothing only because I am the water lord!
It is actually a pain if you want to be fully stocked up on ammo and upgrading gear.
I have a feeling Arkham Knight's is worse. Far Harbor's fun to play so getting it all at a nice discount is great, but it doesn't really sound like any AK DLC is particularly worth playing?

As a theme park fan, I love the idea of the Nuka World DLC. But lol at that fucking price.
Better applaud Bethesda for their shit work and even shittier practices, am i right?
Of course people are going to compare them with a studio that actually did a good job with 2 super long and incredible quality expansions on a much lower price entry.
And even if its not even on the same genre, WB and Rocksteady need the same roasting and comparisons for Arkham Knight season pass.

I think it should be mentioned forever until it is beaten.

If that is is the case, surely the base game should have satisfied?

Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet by not getting this. Even though $30 is more appropriate. I can just wait a couple more years for a better opportunity on this.

Fallout 4 stands tall as my worst gaming purchase ever ($89 deluxe edition preorder, one of the most expensive games I have bought, at almost 15% of an average monthly wage in my country).
Bethesda didn´t even had the DLC totally planned when the base game launched. What´s worse, now it´s no longer competing only against its own brilliant predecessors: it is going to be compared to the already legendary expansions of The Witcher 3... let´s hope that puts some pressure on them.

This game was my biggest disappointment in a long time.
I love fallout for the story, atmosphere and the dialogue options.
How else could I stand the janky ugly F3.
You can argue that atmosphere is okay but the most important other things was lacking.
What a shame.

I managed to get the season pass when it was "cheap" in Canada and I'm not too disappointed in it. Far Harbor was great and I enjoyed Automatron but the other DLC I haven't even touched because I really don't bother too much with customizing (or caring for) the settlements. I'm looking forward to Nuka-World and it better be a slam dunk.

hah, this is so true!
the full game+all the DLC+all the mods, as long as the mod scene continues like it has been you've got limitless replayability

Never understood buying a season pass when they don't even tell you what comes with it.

$30 was the right price for the Season Pass. Far Harbor was pretty damn good and I'm hoping Nuka World matches it.
But yeah, there's no defending the price hike.

If there was any company that proved in the past the potential and value with quality DLC and earned a blind buy season pass it was Bethesda.
But not anymore. I guess it's an okay value for 30, though still sparse compared to the meaty packs of 3 and New Vegas, but lol at 50.

Yea I think 50 was asking a little too much 30 was much more fair.
But I feel like Bethesda hasn't been great with DLC since Oblivion really. Fallout 3 had point lookout and broken steel, which actually added a real ending, and Skyrim really only had the Dragonborn DLC, I didn't think dawnguard was that great. The Shivering Isles DLC was the best piece of DLC Bethesda ever created and that was almost a decade ago now.
Well, I got the Season Pass when it was cheap...
But yeah, I'm really pissed off at Bethesda for doing the absolute least with Fallout 4. So much cut content in the game's files... They really need to take a good look in the mirror, because they did not do a good job with Fallout 4 and I don't trust current Bethesda to do a good job with The Elder Scrolls 6.

Current signs point towards a new I. P. First. BGS stands in the stratified air of Rockstar when it comes to deciding what they work on.

Bethesda Game Studios (the dev, NOT the publisher) has lost so much good will with gamers at this point. I'm very skeptical about the next ES game.

No they haven't. People use the same defenses a decade later. You misunderstand how large their games are outside your GAF viewpoint.

Wow Bethy, this is some pathetic ass DLC that's included in a $50 season pass.
Now, Nuka world could possibly change my tone, but I'm seriously doubting the quality and the content from modern day Bethesda.
Obsidian please come back to the franchise, we need you.

Please stop buying season passes.
When have they paid off? (Genuinely curious?)

Witcher 3. I'd assume for people who love and actively play those games, Call of duty and Battlefield are fine as well.
BF4's season pass was pretty fucking good value. 20 maps + 20 something guns for $50
Dark Souls 2 is the only "season pass" I've ever bought and was well worth it. But usually if a game has a season pass, it actually motivates me to NOT buy the game because of the inevitable "Complete/GOTY" edition.

Fallout 4 on it's own was so not worth the full price I paid. Kinda disappointed that it's a junk collecting sim that ran bad. When they announced the price change of their season pass I just laughed and thought it won't be worth it and sure enough, it isn't.
Bethesda need to do something with their game engine, I feel like this one on PC feels like they tried to work too much with console as you can see patches between console and pc are the same.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Borderlands 2 was the best IMO.
Witcher 3's is, but it was never called a season pass.

Mario Kart 8, Witcher 3, and both Hyrule Warriors. Heard good things about Driveclub's pass too.

That's rough. The robot one was short, the smaller ones were glorified mods, and Far Harbor has been the only really quality thing to come from this. And they raised the price?
Nuka-whatever better be one hell of a DLC pack.
