DLC is priced higher than the base game is?!?

Are they on freaking crack? Since when is DLC priced higher than the base game? This is freaking stupid.

It isn't a simple DLC its a full on expansion, that adds basically the same, if not more content than the base game. Btw the base game was priced higher at launch.

Also they just cut the price for the main game in half today. It was £50 yesterday.

What's your point? I been around buying expansions since the 90's and they were never priced higher than the base game was

the game price has been lower since launch by half, considering how much is in the base game and what is being added I think the price is more than fair. its not a small dlc, but a full expansion that the team worked on for well over a year.

You are not familiar with how Monster Hunter works. With previous games the "Ultimate" edition was done in form of full price re-relase of the game. Now you can get it cheaper if you own the World already or get "both" parts as Master edition for single $60 if you are coming in new.

It was a $60 game originally. Now, $60 gets you the base game + the expansion.
It works out.

Since the game has been out like nearly what 2 years for anything other then pc? Price of game went down. Very fair for people who are just coming into the game. If you were so worried about the price going down then why'd you buy it so early.

Guess you missed that part that the base game comes with iceborne now for 60$.

[DeathRow]

they should rise the price of the base game to 60$ again, this is just unacceptable honestly

Then the DLC should be 30 and not 40

That's not true. While it does vary from game to game, there have been many games over the past 20 years that have had expansions the same price that the base game was at release, often with the base game having already been reduced in price resulting in the expansion costing more than the base game at time of expansion release. This has been the case with every FFXIV expansion, for example, which similarly adds at least as much content as was in the base game.

Games with expansions cheaper than the original price of the base game typically add less content than the base game had, such as Tales of the Sword Coast for Baldur's Gate 1.

New hub, two new big maps, one new small map, graphical updates, new monsters, new story, more weapons, more armor WITH set bonuses now, new mechanics, and that's just off the top of my head.
