Considering what DAo was and by that I mean a huge world with such an amazing story that people could actually clock 50+ hour into it, does Awakening do it justice? From the reviews I've read and the videos I've seen, it really just seems like Bioware dropped the ball on this one and dare I say rushed it out the door? Honestly, I really dont want to believe that just because it's so unlike Bioware to release such a messy, and from what I've read, unfinished product. Is it possible?

Let it be known that I'm really not one that judges a product before it's even released. Hell, I'll buy it regardless just because it's Bioware. But is it possible that if the reviews are correct, that Bioware is actually starting to cut some corners? This expansion is the same price as the retail game, but it's only 1/4th of the content? I really dont know why this expansion is being rushed out the door only a few months after the original game's release, but it just sets off very loud alarms about future Bioware games ...including TOR.

That is of course if the reviews I've seen hold any water.

It's an expansion. Don't go in expecting a full game.

Then why is it priced the same as the original full game? I could justify the expansion arguement if it only cost $20 or something. But they're charging the same price as the full retail game.

Origins was 49.99; while Awakening is ten bucks too high for an expansion, it IS an expansion. Always has been marketed as that and nothing more. Price has nothing to do with content.

I agree, and it's starting too look a little too short for a 50 dollar "expansion". I think if they are going to charge only a little less the a full game would cost, they should have only a little less then what a full game would have. They say it has more content then most full retail games, but that was either a lie, or they were comparing it to like shooters and everything.

lol wtf i paid 60 for origins on release day.

In all honesty it seems like a rip off. Market it as an expansion and sell it for full retail. Whats the point of even making a new character in this 'expansion' if you only have 8 hours of content to play through?

Hell I paid $72 for Awakening, I've still got the EA email.

[Bryy_Miller]

I don't get where people are seeing DA:A being offered for $49.99.

Nowadays, most full games last less than ten hours.

I'm assuming you purchased a 360 or ps3 version. I paid 50 for it when it was released. A week later they dropped the price by $10 across the board and now i think its $40 for everyone. Could be wrong so dont quote me

I think it was more expensive for consoles

I bought the collectors edition for the PC & it was the same price as the regular game for the 360

[Shipwr3K]

well i am sure the price will drop in a few months. wait, if you dont wanna pay 40.

i call bull. comparing most games to cod or other shooters that rely on online multiplayer isnt a fair comparison at all. rpg games like fallout for one and even some shooters like bioshock are well over 20 hours long.

Origins was the best $50 I've ever spent on a game, the DL content was "ok", but not really worth the price total content wise. (in comparison to the full game)



As much as I want the expansion, I may wait till the price drops before I buy it.



Honestly? Biowares fault for setting the bar so high. Origins will be a tough experience to beat, dollar for gaming dollar.



I'll likely wait till awakenings is $20. In the meantime, continue to work with the toolset.

and this is probably what ill do too. $40 for this expansion is setting the bar too high. this isnt the sims EA you cant just throw together garbage expansions with a little bit of extra content and price it whatever you want. Sims fans are sick of it and im amazed bioware is letting them do the same with dragon age.

Collector's Edition plus shipping.

[Frank the Running Bugzepel]

I bought Origins for $100 in Aus, so if it is $40 here then it is understanding. Also there are rules on how much a company can price its' products, they can't price a expansion how much they wish, it has to deal with content.

[Jenocide]

have you ever played a bioware expansions. they are better then most retail games.

Awakening will add much more then 8 hours to gameplay.

it will be along the lines of throne of bhaal and the NWN expansion's

Is it worth it? I suppose we'll find out when it's released.

This.

[Unseen_77]

I feel It's 10 dollers higher for an expansion then it should be.

[Raiil]

The price is worth it if *you* want to continue playing. I bought a copy of Origins used for 55 bucks and it's been worth every single penny. I got the Stone Golem DLC with my copy (whoever owned it beforehand didn't care to use any of the codes that came with it- lucky me!) and for the content I did pay for? I don't regret it at all, but that's me personally. While it remains to be seen whether I enjoy Awakenings as much as I did Origins, imho, I play the game enough- and enjoy it enough- where the 40 dollars paid for the content is reasonable. I get to expand my character more and see more of Ferelden, which is what I ultimately wanted. I don't think it's a question that can be answered objectively because what we want out of the game varies from person to person.

[L33tuberpwner]

Heh, I payed 70$ for the collectors.



Value is subjective so this topic is pointless.
