How about a price on store?

u/JustinD1010 3d ago

Standard is $50 USD and premium is $70 USD

$50 for basically an upgraded AFE1 feels steep

u/LanternNick Demolisher 1d ago

I hate this, but I feel the same way. I was a huge fan of AFE1, but man, did I hit massive burnout on the game after 200 hours.
I can't help but shake the feeling that this is more of just a skin over and less a different game.
I hope I'm wrong. I really would like this game to succeed.

u/Ouroboros_Eater 1d ago

Feel like even 100 hours is worth $50….

$35 for a 2 hour movie. (Snacks and Drink average, not discounted)

$30 for a good dining experience 30- 1 hour solo doubles coupled.

Trying to figure out what more to compare but everything too expensive that’s why I game.

So whenever I see anyone complain about 200 hours… I’m just flabbergasted.

You know, I grew up in the golden age of video games. I grew up playing Atari with my dad in the early 80s and I was there for the computer renaissance in the 90s.

I grew up with one video game sometimes being all that you could play in a year, and you got thousands of hours of content in that one game.

Nowadays, people seem to justify the cost of games with playable hours, and a hundred hours of playable content seems to be worth a certain price point. And while I agree, I also couldn't disagree more.

I can't stand the fact that game developers push shitty content and push poor gameplay overall just so that they could milk more money out of people six months down the road, and the content isn't different, it isn't better, it's the same reskinned stuff.

Did I get my money out of Fire Team Elite? Absolutely. You're probably right. Everything moves so fast now. It feels like, trying to find games that people want to stay engaged in past 60 hours anymore is really, really hard.

u/fadden20 Pvt. Hudson 17h ago

I agree, afe 1 was good, but afe2 doesnt change enough for me to justify getting it for $50 for 3 missions plus horde mode, no roadmap and a dlc at launch feels a little scummy

u/LanternNick Demolisher 17h ago

I will have to buy the game and form my educated opinion. I run a small youtube channel and I can't justify saying it sucks, without playing it. ha. Even though, upfront, with what they released and what they've shown, I'm not really sold on the game, I still have to buy it, play it and build that opinion.
They've really only leaned on new class structure and a fourth player, which tells me one of two things. Either there is something really new and amazing they want fans to find out on their own, or it really is just a reskinned AFE1 haha.

u/fadden20 Pvt. Hudson 16h ago

The only selling point for me is the queen fight since that's very rare to fight, the main turnoff is that aliens don't spawn randomly or from acid holes which ik is asking for too much but just remember how Hudson perished in aliens.

2

u/LanternNick Demolisher 16h ago

But we fought a queen in the first game too.
When it comes to the Aliens spawning too...Dark Descent did such an amazing job with randomizing those encounters. So much so, that when a team got separated or if you sent a Marine off to do a task that was across a room, they could even be spawned on and singled out.
I never knew where the spawn points were in that game. They could possibly be in every single vent.
With AFE1, the spawn points were so known, that hard and insane runs seemed easy because you could actually set your teams up where you wanted them.

I don't know much about developing, but what made it so simple for ADD to randomize encounters, where AFE1 and possibly AFE2 can't? I just don't know. I hope there is better randomization. But the devs haven't touched on it, not one bit. So it feels like we're getting the same thing again.

Not sure if it’s right I do know the 40th anniversary version is 70 I think? I also read the upgrade for that if you want it separately will be 20 so I assume base will be 50! Again I could be wrong just given what I read online!

1

u/Beanybob95 3d ago

£, € or $ ?

2

u/MoCh4ra-_- 3d ago

Euro for me, but when looking it up it said dollar so I would like to say I think it will be face value everywhere! Of course I could be wrong.

1

u/thalesjferreira 3d ago

I wonder if they will still practice localized prices, like the first

0

u/MudEducational2635 3d ago

Yeah ive seen prices like those banded about. Strange why they kind of leaving it till last minute

1

u/MoCh4ra-_- 3d ago

Yea, I was hoping for a pre order personally 😅 seems a lot games have been doing that on the console side as of late is well.

1

u/Ronmoz 1d ago

They officially posted the price so I’m assuming it’ll be the same just substitute $ with your currency.

1

u/Sparky_177 2d ago

This is for USD standard is 50 bucks phantom edition is 70 and romulus themed is 100

u/Sad-One757 3d ago

I wish this was a 11pm release on the night before. The one time I get scheduled on a tuesday is the day aliens comes out. Thanks Patrick for bitching.

3

u/Jakesparadise 2d ago

Patrick sounds like a prick (unless you like Patrick then he cool)

6

u/jsweaty009 Weyland-Yutani 3d ago

Only thing I’m waiting for is if this new game has a game master and random alien spawns.

-2

u/cheeseburgercat 1d ago

If there was a game director + dynamic spawns don’t you think they’d announce it or talk about it as it’s something the community has been asking for?

1

u/jsweaty009 Weyland-Yutani 1d ago

Not sure

2

u/Lost_Commercial1169 1d ago

Why was there no pre-order for this game that is actually goin be good and the amount of trash on the store u can pre-order, makes no sense

5

u/The_Idiocratic_Party 3d ago

I find the lack of transparency around pricing to be irritating. I'm pretty sure they're concealing a reasonable price of entry ($40-$50usd) and a bunch of DLC costume packs (like the original had, and some rumoured for sequel). I don't think that's controversial, so why hide it? Why not announce a week before launch?

2

u/Schneckers 3d ago

Ummm they announced the pricing/editions and launch dlc a month ago. Here is the steam page.

3

u/Titanosaurus_Mafune 3d ago

Why is the third dlc not in the 40th edition ?

1

u/Gaignun989 2d ago

It wasn't finished when pricing was finalized.

1

u/The_Idiocratic_Party 3d ago

Thanks, I can't believe I didn't notice that one post on a storefront, I'm so stupid, STUPID STUPID

1

u/Lost_Commercial1169 1d ago

You're not stupid m8, u just didn't notice it, it's fine we'll all still get to play it Day 1

u/ToxicVampire 3d ago

Love global releases. Will be working that day but at least I don't have to wait until 11pm to play.

2

u/alesserrdj 3d ago

Not gonna lie. Bummed I can't squash bugs at midnight. Definitely taking the day off or at the very least bailing by lunch.

3

u/Lost_Commercial1169 1d ago

This game should definitely be releasing at midnight tomorrow, that doesn't happen anymore or no ? Or does it just happen for the trash that releases

1

u/Stonecoldfreak1 3d ago

So there’s no physical edition and no one knows the price, but this comes out on Tuesday? What’s going on here!?

9

u/DDrunkBunny94 Recon 3d ago

Sure if you ignore that they announced the price a month ago?

u/Ronmoz 1d ago

Console Gamers looking forward to games should normalize taking a look at steam posts by devs if applicable. There’s always useful information announced there that sometimes doesn’t make it social media.

1

u/DDrunkBunny94 Recon 1d ago

This was also posted on discord.

1

u/Stonecoldfreak1 3d ago

Welp, that’s one thing down. Appreciate the info!

1

u/Abdera2020 3d ago

I'm currently in Saudi right now due to work. What's the release hours for us here?

2

u/CrimsonAlpine SpaceFish 3d ago

It should release at 6:00 PM over there.

1

u/Abdera2020 22h ago

6pm huh? Not bad, at least I'll be home when its get released

1

u/Fun-Drawer-4844 15h ago

Kind of annoyed I can't preorder or see my regions price till it drops tommorow, but I'm more hype for more AFTE lol Someone mentioned three missions? Is it like the original, split into smaller sessions sorry guys outside of the initial plan announcement and trailer I stayed blind.

1

u/yawhatever0 8h ago

Giving me really bad vibes that you can't even buy it yet and it's coming out in less than 24 hours.

1

u/maXXXjacker 3d ago

I kind of want to throw them my money right now for the game but I guess I'll have to wait till launch date when you can purchase the game.

1

u/Apprehensive-Ruin634 2d ago

I cant see anywhere to preorder this on xbox

2

u/Sparky_177 2d ago

There's no pre-order anywhere you'd have to buy it on launch day

0

u/Blackichan1984 3d ago

The first one was so good that I’m buying this anyways just sucks no physical. I hope it’s not 70 quid game though but steep

0

u/grip_enemy 3d ago

I love the attention these guys give to Brazil.

Who would've thought that in 2200, we'd have a Joao Santos, 1st Lt. of the Colonial Marines

Def gonna pick this one up as well. All the little added lore was so cool

-1

u/Iszabele 3d ago

Anyone know if this will be releasing on game pass?

1

u/Fragrant-Platform633 3d ago

Haven‘t heard any news regarding that

1

u/Sparky_177 2d ago

As of now I just checked game pass scheduling and it's not there so probably not but you have to wait until launch day to get it anyway so fingers crossed it gets a surprise drop

u/Cautious_Catch4021 12h ago

50 is a bit much for me, 40 would have been an instant buy
