I think HoT was worth 30$ max, certainly not the 50$ they sold it for. World too small compared to the original release, too many unfinished elite spec like tempest and barely any endgame content.
If you look at launch content for HoT at $50, yeah, the price is a little too much, maybe. But if you consider the living world stuff and the other “free” (included with your purchase) content they add over time, I think it works out to be good bang for your buck.
With the base game, I paid $50 or $60 (can’t remember which) and I got about 900 hours of playtime for it. I would call that a good return on investment.
Admittedly, I wouldn’t expect not quite as much out of HoT but even 200 to 300 hours would still be worth it to me.
. . . It’s the same with any form of entertainment. Hype it up beyond what it’s worth, and people tend to end up liking it less than they would have . . .
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I feel like there are some missed opportunities with the story. I also feel the delivery of the story to be lacking. And the reason we (or at least I) complain about these types of things, I would like to think, is because we like the core product and can see the potential for so much greater.
It can be difficult to manage expectations when you release something can can appeal to so many.
All of that said and to the original posters question, I still feel the purchase of the expansion was worth the money. And I have enjoyed the content.
Yeah, you made a mistake. Accept that fact, and everything good you find will now seem like an unexpected bonus.
If you go into it waiting for something to smack you down, you won’t have much fun. Go in with low expectations, and you may enjoy it more.
Wow! Statements like this baffle me. They’re valid, but I am on the other end of the spectrum.
I have greatly enjoyed the expansion. I suck at the Revenant, but I do enjoy it both mechanically and thematically.
I am also someone who will enjoy the product created rather than impose my expectation on the product. I tend to be less disappointed that way.
Instead of setting expectations low as Palador suggested, I would go in with no expectations and enjoy the features you like and disregard the content you don’t like.
