The Blizzard Mountain expansion for Forza Horizon 3 is now half price from £16.74 to £8.37.
The excellent graphics brings snow, ice, extreme elevations.

Amazing deal, heat added. BTW, you can't just drive straight to blizzard Mountain once loaded, you have to have 3 festivals created before it unlocks in the game.

What do you expect? For it to never go cheaper? Things will always drop in price. You pay more to play things early, those ultimate edition owners have benefited from playing this about 4 months earlier than anyone buying this cheaper deal.
Plus you don't know how much the next expansion will cost. It could work out that buying that second expansion and this one now works out to around the same price, £20. Then of course the time is the benefit.

Am I the only one who thinks this is still a lot of money for a DLC? I have FH2 and was thinking about 'upgrading' but I really have an issue with paying for a game (regardless of price) and then paying more money for it.
I know the devs have to get paid, etc but perhaps I'm living in the old days (when a company made a game and then supported it with maps, etc FOC).

not nice. makes the discount for ultimate edition owners from last year for the expansion pass look stupid.
ultimate edition owners had a discount for about 10 pounds what made the expansion pass to buy for 20 pounds. now it seems like buying this expansion on sale and later the second expansion seperate makes it cheaper than the reduced season pass.

Is this worth picking up if I have no intention to play immediately? Do these types of DLC usually get much cheaper than half price?
martians to Treas0n
28 Mar 173#33
I picked up the FH2 Storm Island and Porsche expansions for 75% off, in December 2015 and September 2016 respectively.
So this will probably get cheaper in the future, but you may have to wait a long time. (BTW, there is another expansion yet to be released, both included in the Expansion Pass. If you have no intention of playing this now, you may just wait and see whether that gets discounted in a major sale.)

Heat - bought. Glad I waited. could and probably should have waited even more as they will no doubt discount the expansion pack and decrease this to the £4 mark like they did storm island.. but I do fancy a race round in the snow!
TGPMatt
28 Mar 172#37
Yeah, exactly. The game's been out since September. It already hit £24(?) in the daft pre-Christmas sales. I think it's the best racing game series ever, but I still only bought the standard on-disc edition because I knew this was going to happen.
Plus, it's got enough in the original game to justify a wait for a drop in price. But even at £16, the expansion's great value.
joanddan7
28 Mar 17#38
The Porsche expansion thing is on my radar! for Horizon 2 and MS6... more so for Horizon 2 - annoyed as I recently finished Fast N Furious and unlocked the bonus boards and that's meant to unlock a car in Horizon 2 and it never did!
Great games.

Unfortunately I disagree. Horizon DLC typically has been well discounted throughout the series. The game has been out 6 months or so now - which given the model they've adapted for the game seems appropriate. If anything you should be angry about all those digital sales for the base game so soon after release....
Is it unfortunate? Yes. But I think anyone who put two and two together would have seen a discount coming (although I guessed around May/June time myself)
Great price. Might have to pick it up at this price.

storm island was very much horizon 2 with weather effects and I didn't enjoy it that much because I had played the base game to death. This expansion is a lot different than the base game, found it a lot more challenging but its still very enjoyable.

The Season Pass and Expansion pass are not the same thing.
The Season Pass contains car packs - most of which have been released already and I think there are 1 or 2 remaining.
The Expansion Pass adds additional areas - Blizzard Mountain is the first of these, the second it yet to be announced / released.
The Ultimate Edition included the Season Pass but not the Expansion Pass. If you want Blizzard Mountain you either buy it individually like this deal, or the Expansion Pass to get Blizzard now, and the second expansion when it is done.

Silly comment, you got the discount when it was at full RRP so you still got a discount! Think of those who HAVE to buy each years FIFA, they see their £50 game drop to £5 every year! What about those who bought Starwars BF ultimate for £110, that was on offer the other month at just over £20??
Moral of the story, if you NEED the game, get it at launch, if you dont, WAIT! :smiley:

28 Mar 17#64
They all do it - I dropped around £80 on Destiny digital deluxe, which included the first two expansions, but the game was pretty much obsolete by the time Taken King rolled around a year later. I was expecting some sort of discount for early adopters but the best deal was to buy a complete edition on disc on release, and owners of the original disc version were able to trade they're original copy in to offset the cost. Not possible for digital owners :disappointed:
Moral of the story - don't buy these "Digital Deluxe Sooper Dooper" versions on release. Buy standard, and update as and when. The extra content almost always gets released seperately and the meaningful stuff will most likely be cheaper by the time you get to actually using it

I own this game on PC, don't own an Xbox One console. So I don't have a Gold subscription as it's free to play online on PC, which means PC gamers don't get the sale prices. That's a shame, as there's no reason for a PC player to own Gold.
Harryisme
28 Mar 17#67
I find these type of comments odd, do you really think just because you buy the expansion pack the DLC should remain at full price, just so you don't feel offended? No you buy the expansion pack to get the content first and at a lower cost than buying the DLC separate on day one. You have had over a months to enjoy the DLC you should have got your money's worth by now.
Do you think that games should remain at full price, just so it doesn't offend Day one buyers? No the game gets older, demand lowers, price is lowered to sell more units, that's how business works.

Rumoured that both a Porsche Expansion and Fast & Furious one could be on the way.. There are 100% Porsche cars in the code so we shall see.. interestingly next months car pack is the first that isn't in the Car Pass = itll be the best one yet by miles.
Also the Forza event between 7th-10th sees a new barn find added... but you have to win the rumour on Forzathon and then find the car all between those dates... its worth it though - it's Garth's Car from Wayne's World!!
Party on... Excellent!

If you buy everything, i.e. ultimate and the expansion pass, it's around £110, right mate? also there will probably be more car packs that aren't covered by the car pass so will cost extra

Yeah the standard price ignoring sales is £30 for expansion pass and £80 for ultimate edition.
And yes there's loads of stupid bits of extra dlc that aren't included in any edition
nathan3007
28 Mar 17#81
So if we take an average of £6 per car pack, and there will probably be another 3, so thats £18 making it £128 roughly in total for everything! :confused:

Basically I only care about "meaty" DLC (story etc.) and DLC that allows you to earn achievements. I'm not a fan of DLC microtransactions that can be earned by playing the game.
Taking into account the above, should I buy the season pass or the VIP pass? Can you unlock cars by playing the game? Do you get any extra achievements?

The only recent case of price dropping that's ticked me off is GoW4. Preordered it and as soon as it changed to a "standard" release it dropped £7 or so and Microsoft didn't even want to know.
Moral of the story - don't preorder things/buy day one unless you accept it's going to drop a fair bit. 6 Months for a drop on the expansion is perfectly reasonable. Its brilliant really - because they eek more money from us this way. We'll buy the discounted expansion and as a result might buy the full price second one, in essence getting the full season pass money from us :stuck_out_tongue:
Shows fine for me on the Windows Store
Avenger1324
29 Mar 172#98
I don't think VIP or the car pass (I was corrected above for calling it season pass :smiley: ) add any achievements.
VIP makes progress easier - it gives double reward on wheelspins (bonus on every level up) and access to extra Rivals events each month. The rewards (cash) you can earn by just doing more races. It's nice to have, but not an essential buy, and by late game you will have more money, cars and upgrades than you know what to do with.
The car pass adds more cars - you get one of each for free for buying the pack, and any additional ones you still need to earn the cash for to buy in game. I don't think non-car pass players can buy those cars, though as the car pass was included in the Ultimate Edition which I bought I've not played without it.
Blizzard Mountain does add new content - new location, new vehicles linked to that location, new types of events and new achievements specific to the DLC.

As someone who doesn't have the car pass i can confirm we can't by any dlc cars in game. Just redirects you to buy either the car pass or the individual pack.
