So how many of those cars are going to be copy/paste from FM4? Or are they all confirmed to be brand new cars to the series?

They won't tell you until you buy them.

(hint: definite copypasta)

If they allowed some way of doing a car import thing from FM4 (a la Rock Band songs) this wouldn't be such a big deal and the game would be awesome. But... nah, that makes too much sense.

Might as well use that $200 as a down-payment for a real car. >:D

That's a lot of pre-planned content that's not in the game. Are all Forza games like that? Tons of extraneous car packs and whatnot dlc?

And this is only for those who buy used, right? I thought that's what season pass was.

Nah, season pass is a new scam where they get you to pay for future unannounced DLC months in advance.

Online pass is the EA version of a one time use code for online multiplayer access and comes with all new copies.

EA is kicking themselves for not thinking of this first. Season passes almost as much as the regular game....we've hit the tipping point I think.

what are you waiting for
What state comes in the Season Pass? You get Colorado in the base game, so maybe you get Utah in the expansion? Maybe South Dakota so I can drive past Mt. Rushmore?

Seriously though, hats off to Microsoft here. They managed to make Electronic Arts look like the friggin' Salvation Army by comparison.

Achievement Unlocked, indeed.

Hahahaha! This is retarded. I got the Season Pass for Borderland 2 for 22$ and that's the most I'll ever pay for a Season Pass.

It gets better. When companies like Naughty Dog do season passes for games like Uncharted 3, half the maps they released were simply remakes of Uncharted 2 maps.

That is crooked as hell. So let me get this straight. You are basically taking a fairly big gamble at pre-purchasing DLC(likely stripped from the game) for a slightly cheaper price, but you don't even know what it is you will be getting exactly?

They wouldn't do this shit if you idiots stopped buying it, we the consumer are the most important people. If we don't buy stuff companies are fucked, end of story. This is why the industry is screwed, 4000 points can get you some great games on XBLA but instead people would rather go buy some extra cars.
When the hell did the industry revolve around FIFA, Call of Duty & shit DLC scams? The rise of downloable games this generation has been fantastic but seriously fuck everything else. I can't think of another industry that punishes it's customers as much as this one.

Well...they (usually) tell you what you are getting so when they release other DLC you can't blame them for lying about what you get with your Season Pass investment.

Season Passes are starting to seem more like "DLC bundles with stuff you might want and stuff you don't want but what a value so buy them all anyways!!"

Luckily this is the first Forza that I do not give a fuck about playing (not a fan of open world racing games, couldn't get into Burnout Paradise).

Don't forget they'll likely charge you for additional DLC outside the pass like borderlands 2.This is microsoft after all.

This is GAF false-anger for the sake making fun gifs. Exactly why is there outrage about this? If you were going to get most of the DLC, it would cost you more. The season's pass saves you some money. What's the big fucking deal?

Forza 4 has had like $80 dollars or more DLC. And they've released it monthly. Where was the outrage then? So much content if you want it, yet the game plays fine without it.

Edit: I've never bought a season pass, and I never will. But it doesn't mean it's bad for people who are hardcore into dlc content. This saves them money.

This makes no sense in the racing rim genre when people tend to like to pick the car packs they want. I don't even think Forza has the mass popularity to pull something like this off.

I can't think of another industry full of customers that enjoy a good spanking the way gamers do.

Uhh, EA's already been there and done that. BF3 premium is $50.
Click to expand...

Heh, at least with that you get about 20 new MP maps over the span of a year, which is almost double the number of maps in the base BF3, as well as a fair amount of new guns and vehicles. None of the content is recycled as it takes a significant amount of time to build. Since the foundational work has already been done and paid for with the base game, it makes sense that you would get more content than the original game for an equivalent price.

With Forza, several of those cars will almost certainly be ripped straight from Forza 4, and whatever is in the expansion is all ready to go a month after the game ships. So either they have been working on this substantial expansion for the greater part of the past year while the base game is mostly finished in order to create an expansion substantial enough to warrant the price, or the expansion isn't all that substantial and is a total rip off.

remember when MS had first party games priced at $49.99 MSRP at the beginning of the generation, trying to set an example?

Now they are basically telling us to spend over $100 for a complete game.

So much for the 90 dollar game we all joke about. MS just upped the ante to 110. First party leadership at work.

$70 season passes for your $70 AAAA next gen experiences.

Nah, it will be worse. The base game will be 'free to play', which will actually mean 'free to try'. Getting the amount of content equivalent to a previous retail release will be hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

y'all should be ashamed

Not only that, but if I'm not mistaken the season pass for Saints Row 3 was supposed to be a % off savings for all the DLC...but I think it ended up costing just a dollar or two less than what it would have to buy the packs separately. I might be mistaken on that though, I just remember hearing how pissed some people were. :p
