So if the ol' Roadmap's anything to go by and the pricing system's still in-play than here's the math from full game release to full game release (not counting Major Expansions like TTKing) Base Retail user: 60, 20 ,20, 40, 20, ,20: 7.5 USD per-month. Digital Guardian: 90, 40, 20, 20: 7.08 USD per-month. Now for the extravagant ones, Ghost & Strange Coin collectors. 11.25 USD per/month but they bought a game for a friend/to sell, for those who just drop the bonus 20 for the Digital Collector's items that's 10.41 per-month. [b]CoD Ghosts:[/b] If you buy the Expansion Pass for every title it's 9.17 USD per-month. (Used Ghost as my example, it's just a fairly recent Title I could think of, haven't played in some time but decided to crunch numbers for the hell of it. Didn't want to use un-released games) That's right, you can literally buy the 150 USD Ghost Edition and buy the rest of the content standard and still be paying less than a CoD player per-month. You never get to carry ANYTHING over to the next year, you never see anything change to the world you currently know, there are few/no improvements made. (No mention of smaller packs) [b]Borderlands 2:[/b] We're just accounting for Story packs and Characters, not including the 5 USD packs to be allowed to raise your level and the creature slaughter fun bits: 9.16 (Season Pass, still need to buy characters)-10.00 USD in the year three months after Tiny Tina's DLC, and that's without those other things I hadn't included (not to mention Head Hunter packs to boot!) Same trend. In both cases I disregarded things like weapon packs, cosmetic add-ons, etc. In Destiny we don't have those outside of the odd pre-order bonus, if you must have everything in-game than quite frankly Borderlands 2 is [i]quite[/i] expensive. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/hnb.gif -My reaction. I mean, I drop 8 USD eating at a ramen shop once a week for lunch. Really puts it into perspective.
