Turn Based Lovers has an Upcoming Turn Based Games for May list for those wondering if there's anything that's both turn based and coming out this month. While there are a few strategy games on the list, many of them are CRPGs. There's a brief paragraph or three for each of these titles, which include Citizen Sleeper, RPG in a Box, Twilight Wars: Declassified, and several others. Here's a snippet from the opening:

First, I think a great game, whether indie or AAA, should have a reasonably “high price”. Everyone, as a consumer, usually – sometimes unconsciously – thinks a cheap game can’t be that good (though there are, of course, some amazing exception). So, if a game is excellent, why would you then set a low price?

The second reason why KotC 2 price can be justified has something to do with what I said at the beginning: the time spent developing the game. You might know that Knight of the Chalice was released over thirteen years ago, and that the development of the new chapter started at least ten years ago. Took a while, don’t you agree? Now, if we consider the effort put into this project and the time-currency spent on it by the developer – can the price tag of €39.99 still be considered “high”?

I don’t think so.​

I don't normally mind the initial price. That's not where I get annoyed. I may decide to pass and wait for a sale to come along and line up with my mood at the time if I think it's too high. What does annoy me are games like Monster Hunter: World, which is currently on sale for $14.99US on Steam but look at the list of DLC for that thing. Most of the DLC are costumes and other totally optional goofy things, but even though most of it is 40% off right now, if you bought all of it, you just spent $413 - on sale!

As someone that likes monster hunter world, I don't get why you would be pissed off, the only content dlc is Iceborne which is $20, the rest are cosmetics, most of them for your house...that can only be accessed by friends so unless you like to stare at your house or actually have friends that socialize and play mhw, I dont see the point in getting them.
I would be more pissed off at games like Train Sim World 2, that has over $1000 on content dlc, or Tiny Tina's Wonderland $10 for 10 minutes dlc and of course the best game in existance Star Citizen.

The argument, Churrasco isnt that the items are essential to the game or just fluff to make you feel nice, its that they exist in the first place. You are the reason these 400 dollars of dlc exist. You defend them. They should be earnable in the game. The only DLC that should be listen on Steam is Iceborne. Everything, and I mean everything else listed as DLC should be in the game, earnable as a reward for doing something, anything other than paying real life money. Nobody can justify 400 dollars of DLC. Whether its train simulator, mhw, or sims.

 

[Churrasco]

hmm guess I didn't, on that I agree, everything should be earnable and only pay for actual expansions like it used to be back in the day.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Who cares about cosmetic DLCs?

The author forgot to mention the other reason that justifies the price of Knights of The Chalice 2 is the module editor, which opens the way for more content to be continuously released to the community.

What I don't like about it is that it's just a way to soak the player of their money. Maybe if they sold it in packs or those things did something, but even then, the fact there's $400 worth of it and it's on sale right now for 40% off. That's insane. That means there's $700 there abouts worth of the stuff. Yeah, it's pretty optional, but it's still crazy that there's that much of it. I don't know a good way of putting it, but the fact they put that much time in to something that they can use to nickel and dime players to the point where if you're a completionist, you're shelling out that much money, it's totally nuts.

I have to admit, Knights of the Chalice 2 looks very, very interesting to me. It's one of the ones I'm waiting to hit a decent sale price. By then, there should be some decent modules as well.

If it was a single player game, I'd agree with you. It isn't, and they are all optional cosmetics. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot insect glaive but as long as plenty of other people do, I can count on multiplayer servers continuing to run so I can jump into other players' quests and beat on some monsters.

Out of curiosity Saint_Shitposter how did you get the position on the codex you have?

In case you are really that oblivious click on his profile, the member number might tell you something.

the member number might tell you something.

The Join Date is a pretty good indicator too. Or he could go look at the oldest content on here.

Weren't you also on NMA at some point? And maybe one of the Unwashed Villagers?

Vault13.net, now defunct. Also, Terra-Arcanum.com. I did a bit with DAC since Kreegle and Killian and I were pretty tight. NMA never really needed me. They had the Main Man, the great Roshambo Warrior.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Some of those games look worth a gander.
