I was able to get my local store to price match the website and purchased it for $23.01. YMMV good luck.
EDIT 9/1/17: Aaand it's back in stock again.
doesnt mention including season pass
It's not there anymore but it definitely did at time of post. There was an expandable 'bonus with purchase' banner that said you would get the season pass.
ok is back in stock.. bought about 30 minutes ago
i don't think it includes season pass
It's out of stock now … It definitely came with the season pass for "free" as part of the Boxing day sale
Shame the season pass was a bit of a joke, they hyped it up so much only to under-deliver. Hoping they redeem themselves with the VR version soon.
The season pass was a reaffirmation.
I've spent my whole life despising the idea of digital purchases and everything they stand for as they hold no value.
Spent ages waiting for a GOTY of fallout 4 on ps4 and finally caved when sony had the xmas sale with the DLC at 50-60% off.
3x of the addons were absolute wastes of money, all of the workshop packs are crap that modders would have made better and the only one with a storyline is literally an intro to the dlc objects, that as many have reported, modders have made better versions of.
3x of the campaign addons…. they aren't even campaign addons, you expect automatron to be like the pitt or honest hearts, instead it adds no new lands, just access to a few areas already in the game and next to no story.
Far harbor adds an island and is the most interesting of the bunch but still falls incredibly short in comparison to any of the previous addons.
And finally the big one I was looking forward too, nuka-world, looked AWESOME.
Starts off awesome, feels like this big buildup to start the campaign off like broken steel and honest hearts, your thinking 40 minutes in once I actually get into the park its gonna be epic, theres gonna be a massive storyline, or like the pitt you will be going up against the people who run the place.
Nope, after 45m you fight a terrible boss battle then the game is like… oh yeah you run nukaworld now, here are some lazy side quests but yeah do what you want, no real story here.
It really felt like this expansion pack fell victim to RPG syndrome (RPG syndrome, when a loud vocal minority complain so loudly about game features no one really wants, brian fargo had his head done in by these guys, they are always the ones demanding every RPG have the option to ignore the story, choose your character etc at the expense of storyline and narrative, and the ability to be the bad guy at the expense again of gameplay and story).
It really hits this nail on the head with far harbor where things start to get interesting… then you have a minecraft knockoff section.
There were good ideas but the workshop packs should have been free updates, and the so called story addons, were so underwhelming it's not funny.
But hey who cars they got everyones $50 early on, and then everyones $70 before most of it even came out.
Thanks for the detailed description of your experience. I was a bit bummed I missed the bonus Season Pass (given it looks to retail for ~$50) but will now probably just pick up the base game for $20ish and leave it at that.
It's currently showing stock with the season pass.
I feel worse for it being that I didnt get it as a season pass it was cheaper to buy all the items individually.
Turns out could have just ignored all the wastelands workshop packs and they are glorified mod downloads.
Back in stock. The site has been a bit weird lately. It was in stock when I got my price match yesterday, but went out of stock last night.
This morning it was back in, then out a few hours, and now it's back again. I would recommend checking back in a few hours if it does go out of stock again.
Now showing at $49.95
Thanks for the post - ordered and will receive next week :)
Cheapest in AUD for both that I have seen
As it's a steamworks game you will get Steam codes for both too I believe..
