160€ for all? What are the best price / value DLCs?

[call me lucker]

I played Dungeons 4 and get a news about Tropico but I was shocked that I am 160€behind the base game.... rly shocked.

Can you guys recommend a few DLCs? I liked the first Tropicos and was a bit unhappy after pirate time but T6 was really nice for me :-)

Why would you not wait for a sale event? They go 60% off or more several times a year.

???

How thats helps to answer my question? (recommended DLCs?)

Caribean skies is the best in my opinion, but the Mars one is the Second best.You can Skip the festival one, it's Fun but not necessary for your sandbox.Going viral is good too.

Agreed, the festival one isn't that great. I don't think I've ever launched a festival in a sandbox game, or made fireworks, or balloons. Just not powerful/interesting/fun enough.

I'd never pay 160 euro straight up for this game, even with all the DLC. I hope they didn't drip-feed me into doing that.

Depends when you bought them. The base game at launch (or during pre order) could be obtained at 15% off direct from kalypso's home page. The first DLC was given away free to anyone that bought pre order or around launch as a bonus gift.

All of the DLC launched with a 10% off launch discount when released after that first free one.

So, even if you were buying everything as it released you would have gotten a 10%-15% discount on everything and one of the DLC for free.

Alternatively there's been regular 60% or more sales events several times a year after that.

The only way anyone paid full price for anything is they intentionally waited for the prices to go up after releases and didn't wait for the next sale event.

I got most of the DLC from Kalypso's home page, they usually mail out coupons for even bigger discounts than the steam ones.

Im waitin -90% off in steam. Usually im using BlackMarket right now only New Frontier and Going Viral Dlc costs more than 3€ other Dlc-s 1-2€. Even then I feel that I get scammed...

Far too expensive. If you are going to produce plenty of DLC, then please recognise that many gamers (who would normally buy your stuff), will simply refuse to do so when it will cost them nearly £75+ to get all the content to play the FULL game.

Simply put, I will NEVER buy one of these games knowing that the DLC (even when on sale) is still simply too expensive.

Shame, for the game looks decent, but not for the price they are after.
