Ardennes Assault - Steam Preorder soon

CoH2 is going for around $44 Canadian on Steam right now. This single player expansion by itself is nearly that much. I expected around $20-$25, to be honest, since this is seen as the 2nd half of the WFA expansion. That would make WFA + AA roughly the price of the base game. Pretty surprised by $40.

WFA armies costs 20 euros or dollars i dunno, and this is just SP so:
1) Relic is bad financially and releases "this" to get easy money
2) Ardennes Assault is really good

HochDeutscher do not! Standards, mein Freund!

Otherwise,I agree with all you write

I am sorry

Maybe it is really good.

Matrix Games releases their Close Combat games for around $50, and people have been complaining about that for ages. They use outdated graphics, and most of their CC games are just remakes of previous ones. They defend their pricing by saying it's a "niche market". Maybe Relic is taking a page out of their book and using similar pricing for a campaign that looks like it may be a bit like a 3-D CC game.

Relic's 5-year plan for CoH2 is to make CoH 3, 4, and 5 using the same engine and assets as CoH2, then to sell them for full price but as "DLC" for CoH2. At least, that is the only reason I can think of for why they would focus on content like this and price it this way. They really need to rethink the whole business model they have in place for this game.

I guess hope of Pre-Order giving MP content is gone.

CoH2 is using the same engine and assets as CoH1. The entire Dawn of War franchise used the same engine as well.

A group of people made the Essence Engine and CoH1. Almost all of them left afterward and were replaced by the people who made everything that Relic is known for now. Opposing Fronts, Tales of Valor, CoH2/WFA/AA, and the DoW games.

SHIEETTT NOT BUYING

I guess hope of Pre-Order giving MP content is gone.

Did the "no multiplayer content, exclusively single player campaign" line that was being repeated since the announcement of AA gave you* hope before?

more players playing is a good thing for sure, but why pros must suffer get matched with a total scrub isn't nice

FINE

I've not been playing CoH2 over the last 18 months so I'm not aware of everything that happened. I played during the Beta and then decided to wait until the game was on sale. Since they keep secret on everything I was hoping that they must be hiding something but I guess I'm wrong.

I had hope because I can't understand why Relic keep shooting to their own foot ignoring the community and going on their own releasing content no one actually asked for before taking care of the real need of the game and it's community. So for a moment I expected a bit more from them.

They even banned some people asking genuine questions about the DLC in their own stream while they allowed things like that:



As a game developer you can't just ignore criticism and go on your way specially if the criticism is founded in proof and the game itself it's in a bad state regarding bugs and problems with it.

Releasing a DLC won't fix those problems and they can't expect us to trust them now. I would like to play the DLC but of course not for 40€.

They can expect people to buy a game that is been played on an official stream by someone who doesn't even know how to play, it gives bad image to the game. Why would someone be excited about that campaign if a guy from Relic plays that campaing in hardest difficulty and still wins when playing like a newbie?

Only 40 euros? I'll pre order or order without any hesitation. I have a good job, 40 euros is nothing. I spend more on a night out drinking. You're all hypocrites who will order the game when it's released regardless the price. This forum is nothing but complaining about Relic while you all play the game and post your vids and replays about how good you are and how good the game is. It's just soooooo uncool to say something good about the developers. And no, I'm no Relic developer, just a gamer who likes this game.

Not sure if sarcasm or serious.

Sorry, but trying to help someone who cannot help himself is a futile and pointless effort.


You very well know this.

Meaning exactly what?
