Batman: Arkham Knight
Like most games of this generation, Batman: Arkham Knight released at the full price of $60. That seems reasonable for a game of that scale, giving players nearly the entire city of Gotham to soar and drive through, fighting crime and being rich. Arkham Knight was given a $40 Season Pass, though, offering a bevy of new content that would be released for the game.
As loyal fans may, they gladly paid the price tag and dished out a whopping $100 to play Batman: Arkham Knight in its entirety. If the price hiked so much, surely that downloadable content was hefty enough to eventually equal out to over half of the regular game’s content. Unfortunately, many players paid the $40 for something unknown, they paid for a promise.
The entire list of content was only released as the months went by, releasing said content on a monthly basis, but players grew more anxious when each month only brought one lackluster compilation of content after another. The episodic chapters seemed bare, the various costumes couldn’t be completely utilized for few months until the option to use other characters at will was released, and extra AR challenges only offered more of what the Arkham series has done over and over.
Season of Infamy released eventually, finally giving the world the downloadable content they deserved with excellent writing, interesting and familiar characters, and creative scenarios, although all at a fraction of what the Season Pass offered. Come on, Bats.
