What do I have to buy to have the COMPLETE experience?

[osricen]

Hey guys,

What do I have to buy to get the complete game? The big Maverick pack + something else? I see a lot of DLC and it makes me a little confused.

Thanks!

A COMPLETE experience requires COMPLETE Set, so you should buy all DLCs if you want to get a COMPLETE experience. But if you're looking for a SUFFICIENT experience rather than a COMPLETE one, it depends on what feels SUFFICIENT for you.

First of all, you don't have to make a purchase right now. Not only the Passes, but all the DLCs occasionally go on sale. During those times, if you're interested in aviation, you can buy the F-4 Phantom set (it also includes skins for other aircraft).

If you bought this game after watching the Top Gun: Maverick movie, I highly recommend getting the Top Gun: Maverick DLC set — it definitely won't disappoint you.

If you're interested in stealth aircraft and the F-22, you can get the FB-22 Strike Raptor DLC when it's on sale; you don't necessarily have to buy the Experimental Aircraft Series set. However, if both the FB-22 and the F-16XL caught your attention, the smartest option would be to buy the Experimental Aircraft Series set right now.

If you're enjoying the game, you can buy the three DLC missions individually when they go on sale. The Season Pass includes three drone-like aircraft and three additional missions. If you want the extra missions but aren't interested in the drone-like aircraft, you can buy the three DLC missions individually and also buy the Original Aircraft Series set (the three planes in that set are really fun to fly).

If you want to unlock the in-game music player, you must buy the Season Pass.

Thanks, guys! The game is on sale right now, so I bought the Ultimate Maverick pack (which is the only one that includes the base game + season pass. The Maverick DLC comes practically free and better, as this pack is cheaper than buying the base game + season pass alone).
Also got the F-4E DLC as it was dirt cheap and I had a couple extra bucks.
I'll get the other 3 aircraft sets if I really love the game, on the next sale.

P.S. 90 min. in and it's blowing my mind!

Maverick DLC actually is not free for us pre-Maverick DLC (Deluxe Edition).
but welcome to the Strangereal fandom, hope you enjoy the first Strangereal game on PC.

I mean...The base game tells a complete story. This isn't Asura's Wrath, a game where you had to pay for the intended ending. You at least got the intended ending. Everything else is extra. And...Top Gun Maverick Ultimate Edition is a great deal. That's the version I have.
