Deluxe edition : Not all DLC's ?
Is it me, or to they plan to charge us for the new DLC they have coming out in August ?

Like the DLC they gave us so far was pretty much nothing more then "workshop" stuff worth very little. It's almost as bad as CIV6 with paying for useless DLC.

It very likely it wont be part of the "deluxe edition". Its like many season pass scams. Its past the first "season" so you get to pay more for the newer updates.

The current content is dlc while War of the chosen is an expansion, those are usually not included in original special edition or season passes.

Yeah, that's a very common thing, they charge for the new content they sell...

Welcome on the real world buddy...

From the store page, which you guys really should read before you buy anything:

"The XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition includes the full base game, XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack, and the digital soundtrack"

Reinforcement Pack page:

"Bolster your ranks with three themed DLC packs available together for an amazing discounted value*. Each themed content pack will add unique new twists to the core game experience:

Anarchy’s Children: Rebellion-themed content with more dramatic soldier customizations. Now Available.

ALIEN HUNTERS introduces new soldier customizations and gameplay themed around XCOM as an elite alien hunting unit. Face off against “Ruler” aliens with new, more powerful weapons and armor. Experience a new dramatic mission & confrontation. Now Available.

SHEN’S LAST GIFT introduces a new soldier class with unique upgradeable weapons, armor and customization features, and a new narrative-driven mission and map. Now Available."

Does it say all DLC that will be released is included or it specifically describe 3 that you already own? Does it say future expansions are included? No, it say Reinforcement pack, which includes 3 DLCs.


This exactly same description is in the store page since the deluxe version was announced.


Btw, deluxe editiion or season pass doesn't mean all content included, what this kind of deal offers may vary, reason why you should read what they are actually offering. If it doesn't say all future content included, then it's not included and you shouldn't buy unless you think it still a good deal.

Good god learn to read, it is first off not a damn season pass and secondly it tells you what you'll get in the description.

And I'll have to disagree with you that the DLC's are no more than what you can find on the workshop.

Well, I think people are not understanding the "usual" terms for packages anyway.

"Season pass" is pre-ordering DLC (usually without even a clue of what said DLC is going to be about).
"Deluxe" is a package released at launch or close to it that contains some of the early DLC (usually limited to the "good" DLC and at a small discount compared to buying them individually).
"Game of the year" (or GOTY) is a package that is usually made when all planned DLC have been released and contains all of the major ones, sometimes even the smaller ones, and often comes at a decent discount compared to buying individually.


If what you buy doesn't say anywhere that it provides future content as well, it means that it most likely won't.

Also, if this is going to be the last DLC (who knows), it's likely that a GOTY package will appear soon after it too, so if you want to buy all of the DLC at a discount and in one package, wait for that.

This expansion is so large they considered making it XCOM 3, so you should be happy you aint gonna be paying 60 bucks for it instead of the 30-40 it's gonna be. So shut up and be happy you're getting it at all.

If its useless DLC then WHY ARE YOU PAYING FOR IT *facepalm*

I hate your stuff, here have my money so you can make more of what I don't like. Then there is the people that even leave a negative review, while still paying others to do more of it! Yay! People drive me insane.

That said some of the workshop stuff is good. Some of the DLC stuff is good. I don't see the problem. Good stuff is good, and this latest one looks to be the largest yet. But you know, you can always not buy what you don't like and you'll be just as well off as you were five minutes ago.

I'll cover the gamblers that preorder stuff, well that's on you. Don't gamble and you won't have an issue with getting something you don't like. But yeah people preying on that with discounts before the game is out for reviews and some companies banning press copies of games to not allow those reviews to get out there are scum, but as far as I know these devs don't do that so.

I have never seen an expansion be free in my entire gaming life.

There is so many new things and changes in the expansion I would be surprised if it's $20, it's probably $30.

Friggin Firaxis joined the scamming ranks or EA and bioware and bethesda now too it seems.
Those are the companies I refuse to buy from it seems these days.,

Then don't buy the dlc, I actually want to purchase more content for Xcom 2.

The new expansion was originally thought of to be included into Xcom 3. There are also literally over a hundred new things in the dlc as you can gather from multiple articles and videos.

Do you want this to be free? lol

The new DLC is a full expansion, not a "DLC"

Delivering exactly what you bought is hardly a scam. If you thought you would get an expansion when you bought the deluxe edition it's your fault and your fault only.

Firaxis actually did a pretty good job with Xcom 2, considering that they actually gave a description of the content of each DLC once the Deluxe Edition was available. Usually this kind of deal are more vague, Civ VI is an example of this.
