Thoughts on the paid dlc cosmetics

[Star Defender]

I personally like the look of the dlc and the price is okay cause ive seen other games charge more for direct cosmetic purchase (killing floor 2, etc.) . Wanted to know what others think of the look and price of it.

Make that $$$

I think they are fine. DRG already has a gigantic amount of cosmetic items in the base game.
And many long time players have frequently asked for new ways to throw some money towards the developer.

Very true. I would have prefered if both dlc were sold as one package for 8.99 but i love the game and want to support it going foward. i just hope they dont overdue it with dlc.

Mark as answer. I bought the DLC even though I don't plan on wearing the cosmetics. They are cool but they aren't really my style. I am glad to be able to support the developers.

There is a reason I purchased the supporter pack.

I don't mind DLC. Game making is an expensive at base and ever growing cost wise with new technology.

I mind DLC that either gates content or is offered for half finished games.

DRG offers cosmetics for a good game that clearly shows love and dedication, I have no problem tossing a few extra $ their way.

They would be fine if they weren't 1. launch day dlc 2. the continuation of cosmetic-only updates that are around since deep dives. It just puts more nails in already shut coffin that is this game's future. Which is turning into killing floor 2.

A bit cynical.

Cosmetics don't kill games, lazy/greedy developers and publishers do.

People complaining about the Deluxe Edition keep calling this cosmetic sellout DLC. Its a deluxe edition of the game. You were playing a beta before today, now the game is released and it has a deluxe edition, which is what the DLC is. There are no microtransactions or anything within the game itself.

Its like if you got to play Skyrim or something before release, and then when it finally came out with its deluxe edition you say they sold out. Like what? Don't buy it if you dont like it, it has no effect on the game.

In any case I like the look of the cosmetic deluxe addons, but I hope they fix the fact you cannot mix some meshes and dyes.

1. Playerbase and developer clearly treats hats as "content", considering that nothing besides it was released ever since ( and including ) deep dives.
2. You've kinda contradicted yourself.

1. Due to the nature of the game(random gen tunnels that can change mid game) there is a delicate balance that needs to be maintained in weapons, enemies and events(since you can be put in an unwinnable situation simply due to where and when). I at least recognize the need to be careful with tweaking such content. For the longest time some weapons were unquestionable better than others, and in some cases still are.

Fair enough. The oppressor kinda spat over that concept, but it is still valid. Sticking a gun in a game like killing floor that is static is not too difficult, putting a gun in a ever changing landscape like this game is.

2. What do you mean?

What if instead of 8 dollars for a pack, it was 2 dollars per character? Better for people who dont play all four

I think they are too expensive, but on the other hand I am pretty sure there will be steam sales so if you really want them but dont like the price, be patient.

Yeah but then the dlc list will slowly become like the Monster Hunter World one if they keep doing that for future dlc ^^

[Disodium]

And if it does, no one is forcing anyone to look at or buy any of it, so whats the issue?
Its an additional source of revenue for the developers to fuel further updates and support.
Game developers are part of a business, and businesses need to find ways to create and maintain revenue.. out of all the potential things they could of done.. cosmetic DLC's are fine.

[Toto The Table]

I absolutely understand the need for making money after full release of the game, and I love supporting this game by recommending it to people.
All that said I won't buy this one, 8€ for four armors and two helmets... Yeah I'll pass.
