Is the gold edition worth it ?

[[LRZC]Don_Qu1Shoot]

Hello all, i wonder if i buy the gold edition of this game. The price is much higher and i heard that the dlcs are 1 hour length each.
I also heard that the gold edition will not be available anymore after the 9 january 2017 so that's why i'm asking, is it worth it ?

The game itself is worth full price. I just finished playing Not a Hero and End of Zoe and thought they were both a good time. Just my opinion. :D

how much time did you spent in the dlcs ?

[BFT9000]

About an hour and a half each. Along with around 15-18 hours in the main game first playthrough.

thanks for the info, i might ony get the base game, 1,30h x 3 for 20e dlc seems a bit overpriced

He was only talking about End of Zoe and Not a Hero.
Remember that Not a Hero is a free DLC so you'll get it either way.
But all in all every DLC together easily tripled my gametime (currently at 44 hours and still some stuff to do) so I'd say it's well worth the price.

The Gold Edition/Season Pass content is fun, however you don't need and shouldn't play any DLCs before or while the main story. So, you could just start with the game now and wait for a nice price of the Season Pass. - Not A Hero is for free anyway.

End of Zoe is a story DLC and you probably don't want to miss it after you finished the game, the Banned Footage DLCs contain rather short sidestories and some arcade modes that aren't very serious. But still, all the DLCs are really well made.

I have the gold edition and most of the dlcs seem to be unnecessary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

-- Banned Footage --

>>Nightmare<< is my favorite of the dlc things.
It's just more of the combat you experienced in the base game.
Almost pure combat. It's fun for a while.

>>21<< was pretty fun and strategic.
Quite the surprise even though you're basically just playing cards.

>>Bedroom<< is one big puzzle.
Do exactly this or you'll die.
Really only fun the first time.

>>Daughters<< might be good but I haven't played it yet it's not really.
It's pretty much the same deal as bedroom.
Do exactly this as fast as possible or instant death.
EDIT: Ok after playing it I can say it's very short and pretty unnecessary.
But apparently there's different solutions here.

-- Other Stuff --

>>Not a Hero<< was ok but it brought out the worst in the game.
It had quite a few situations that reminded me of re 5 and 6.
Like cheap surprise moments where enemies just get a free hit or you're swarmed by enemies on very limited space.
Heavily scripted stuff.
Takes place after the base story and involves lucas but nothing ground-breaking.

>>End of Zoe<< was kinda stupid as well.
Jacks brother who is a bigger ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ than jack even without being infected by anything but his stupidity is punching mold monsters with his bare hands.
There's a bit of story in there but if you miss it you're not missing much to be honest.

>>Jacks 55th Birthday<< is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird.
I don't even know what to say about this.
You're mia going around collecting food for jack.
You don't have any weapons, completely defenseless and there's molded everywhere.
Sometimes apparently you can get a timed weapon that one-hits stuff.
I don't know. Seems worthless and stupid.

>>Ethan Must Die<< is the biggest joke so far.
You got only a knife and the first encounter with monsters is two molded and a fat puking molded in an advantages position that you can't even get to.
How this is supposed to work is beyond me.
And apparently you're supposed to find the key to enter the greenhouse to fight marguerite ( without weapons? ).
Complete nonsense, but I may try that again.

-- Conclusion --

My advise: Don't get this game for anything other than the base story.
Everything else is short, tagged-on and just not really worth the money.

Yeah I agree about the money part, I like the DLCs though. Especially Bedroom and 21. Wasn't playing all the DLCs myself yet (only watching some) and I do not know End of Zoe and Not A Hero yet, because I didn't wanna spoil it to me, but looking at the storepage I wondered about the relatively high prices of these. But I am rarely buying for full price these days anyway and can barely compare outside of sales. (So many good games, so many sales!) I still think it should be a good deal to buy the Season Pass on sale, at least if you like some the DLCs. I also wouldn't recommend to buy Jacks 55 Birthday and Ethan Must Die seperately, but you only get them bundled anyway.

Btw, how much were the DLCs on the holiday sale? RE7 was for about 22€, I remember. How much was the Season Pass?

i got the gold edition for a fair price and i will tell what i think but anyway i don't think my money will be wasted.
The core game is verry good, i just started to play it but i really enjoy it so i want to know more with the dlcs, that's why i took the gold edition
