Standard here costs me 60 Euros without any of the maps in the future, that's asking me for £52 entirely just for the digital game and nothing else, that is way above the average asking price for a AAA game, DOOM for example was asking at least £40 for their base game, that had a very decent SP to it as well, the BF series isn't well regarded and known for their SP as much as their MP and we all know how their SP goes in terms of story. 

The value to me isn't there, not for way above the PC digital base game price and EA has no vendor competition to force them to price accordingly so the price stays high for a decent amount of time. I managed to grab DOOM for £30 around 2 weeks from it's release thanks to GMG, that was enough to get me to go for the game because I saw it being near the asking price I found worthy of dropping down cash for.

If EA discount it later on down the line and it runs really well on PC then chances are high that I might grab it, I managed to snag BF4 at a cheap price with it running better down the line since it's launch. If you price your game at a price I can go for and it runs well then I'll go for it, price high and don't have the game up and running decently while delivering less content and I'll simply step back and wait until you do.

(Also I checked their digital deluxe, it only comes with one pre-order map and tiny bits and pieces while asking me for 80 Euros which comes to £69.41 and that's without VAT).

Did you download on Xbox One? I saw an article the other day saying the test was 17.5 GB on Xbox One. I downloaded last night on PS4 and it's only 12.5 GB. Wonder why the Xbox One version is 5 GB more?

Amped Hardpoint has pilots and titans but no bots.

Oh yeah I was thinking ps4 version because that's what I get which you can trade in if you go retail. Not sure about steam but you can but your games on the American psn and save a nice bit of money thanks to exchange rates.  

BTW I'm not talking about the deluxe version which is just a money spinner. I'm talking standard game + premium.  for regular battlefield players like myself it's insane value for my money.  

But mate,  you're line of thinking is wrong.  You're not missing out on content you deserve by buying the standard game.  That's a legitimate full priced package right there.  The dlc is developed after and you have no devine right to it. Most games that give it for free like GTA or rainbow 6 have microtransactions.  

It's like me expecting to get the uncharted 4 dlc for free because I paid full price for the standard package.  Lol come on mate that's just not realistic. 

The game is only on Origin and sold in Euros so I lose out on the exchange anyway. BUying on Amazon still has them asking for the same price.

Regular standard BF isn't really what I call insane value for money. To me it;s the abse game, the set standard and nothing more, to ask £52 of me is insane for a base game and then asking another £40 for maps, that's nowhere enar amazing value for my money, if I were to pay for that amount I'd expect the game to be up and running for 10+ years and provide me with an insane amount of maps to play around with, I'm talking 30+ maps for the £90 price. 

I don't think my line of thinking is really wrong since it's my own eprception of product value, I don't see it as being worth £80/80+ in it's entirety since it's MP based content that doesn't last anywhere as long as a game like WoW and other games like TF2 have, with TF2 I paid for it, the game eventually went F2P and the maps still carried on being dished out for free, that alone kept me going back to it over the years.

I'm not saying I deserve that DLC, but at the same time I'm efinitely not paying £40+ for it either, I'd rather wait till it's discounted (like you said yourself for other games that others argue are worth full price like you are saying here) and then grab it.

It's like me asking you to pay what I pay for everything in my life, you wouldn't agree at all and I can easily understand why because your perception of value and mine are entirely different, that's just how we work as humans, we aren't the same and our perceptions of value are always going to be different with no golden rule to obey and abide by. 

If they were to never develop the additional 20 maps for premium you'd be all dandy and have no gripes.  I get it, you've a vendetta for paid dlc.  The base game offers a decent campaign and plenty of online maps.  more than enough. 

And the value for money comes from the time you play it.  Maybe you're a casual but for us hardcore players who spend crazy hours playing one of the best online shooting series there is,  we get exceptional value for money.  we are the people thr premium maps are targeted at,  not you.
