spanishsurfer 58 Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for the clarification, I'll be purchasing the alpha then since I own all Arma content anyway :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DjThor 10 Posted March 1, 2013 going for the supporter edition, as this gives you all that you need to play this awsome game, hurry up bio so we can get this going.......:p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napalm 10 Posted March 1, 2013 I will be buying the supporter edition, have been playing opf/arma/arma2 and can't wait for the 5th of march to get my hands on the alpha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zico 10 Posted March 1, 2013 That was me, please keep your polls neutral and without trying to "manipulate" voters. And making fun in polls is forbidden. :p No problem. Wasn't intending to manipulate any votes. Poll is creeping up to the 500 mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomofica 1 Posted March 1, 2013 I will be getting the Digital Deluxe version. I would buy the Supporter version, but I can't justify the cost vs. the benefits. Forum badge and name in credits does not overly interest me, I already own Combined Ops and I will never play the pre-ArmA II titles. I would like the ArmA II DLCs, but they come nowhere near the $40 increase in price between ArmA III versions (the money I save by purchasing the DD vs Supporter, I'll be able to purchase the A2 DLCs and have money left over). IMO, the cost still outweighs the benefits for the DD - but I still want to support BI, and I kinda want that tactical guide and the maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vegeta897 13 Posted March 1, 2013 ... and I will never play the pre-ArmA II titles. Blasphemy! You're missing out. Sahrani is still one of my favorite islands. And Op Flash is just full of oldschool charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomofica 1 Posted March 2, 2013 That's basically my reasoning. Would love to go for Supporter but I frankly just can't afford it. Yeah, IMO it's just far too expensive for what they're throwing in. But obviously some people are willing to pay for it. Blasphemy! You're missing out. Sahrani is still one of my favorite islands. And Op Flash is just full of oldschool charm. I've played Op Flash (mainly Dragon Rising), and the Arma series isn't foreign to me. I just will never play it again because we have Arma 2 and now the Arma 3 alpha. Plus Sim City is released on the 5th, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1049 Posted March 2, 2013 Dragon Rising is NOT Operation Flashpoint. :mad: The crap is from Codemasters which holds the rights on "Operation Flashpoint" and used it to lure people into their shooter, making them believe it would be the true sequel. So, if you played Dragon Rising and Red River you have not played Operation Flashpoint but a cheap shooter clone. Suggest you play the real original then. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomofica 1 Posted March 2, 2013 I said mainly Dragon Rising, because that is the one I owned. I have played the other Op Flash titles, I just did not own them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1049 Posted March 2, 2013 Well mainly Dragon Rising can also mean "mainly Dragon Rising" and a bit "Red River". Least you played the original as well so we may forgive you one day. :p We really should have something here which is replacing "Dragon Rising" with "Sunken Dragon"; and "Red River" with "Dead River"... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegeta897 13 Posted March 2, 2013 We really should have something here which is replacing "Dragon Rising" with "Sunken Dragon"; and "Red River" with "Dead River"... :) How about "Insult to Gamers" and "Why was there a Sequel" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomofica 1 Posted March 2, 2013 I've actually never played Red River, and a lot of the reason for that is the bad taste Dragon Rising left in my mouth. To make it worse, I had it for Xbox. The only reason why I don't complain about that very much is because it was a birthday gift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.ONeill 10 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) None, sadly, due to BI choices. Steam required is an immediate no purchase for me. :( Edited March 2, 2013 by ONeill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncage 30 Posted March 2, 2013 Why they are setting such a low price € 24,99 is a little too cheap for game i mean i dunno why they dont want more money :Dlook at prices of all AAA games... always its 49 Also i have a question, anyone know if these packages if these packages will be available on steam? i mean... if we will be able to buy it directly from steam and not from a arma 3 site.... Why? cause i want to trade my Team fortress 2 keys to get arma 3 that actually scares me. is this going to end up being an inferior game? because i know two other hyped up games, hitman and tomb raider pre-order at lower than aaa quality prices and they turned out bad. hopefully bis is different breed and will not disppaoint.

Weeell for one they aren't 'hyping' the game with commercials, ads and so on. In fact the only hype we get are demonstration videos at E3 and Gamescom, the occasional picture and dev blogs as well as interviews...I wouldn't quite equate that to hyping. As for the pricing likelythey aren't charging full price because it is not a full game yet, hence the price going up between alpha and beta, more content. Secondly if you have a lower price, you generally get more customers. Take Minecraft for example, in alpha stage it sold for 10-15ish dollars and managed to rack up millions in sales.

Tonmeister 14 Posted March 2, 2013 I'll most likely grab the supporter ed. Not really interested in whats bundled with it, but I am interested in the DLCs as I'm hoping steam will improve integration of these for online play and as long as BIS supports distribution with lite versions as part of their patching, then I'll be happy, and I'm sure most players on pub servers will be too.

I also believe this is a good route to take and anyone who shows a bunch of hype is what I will stay away from. For example..Aliens: Colonial Marines was a mess and they had a lot of hype and showed E3 footage that was not in end game and since this is alpha and we have gotten recent ingame footage of how the game looks I KNOW we aren't getting slapped in the face. Minecraft was and always will be a good example of how to run things sandbox style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samyg 3 Posted March 2, 2013 Is the digital deluxe worth it for the added digital maps and tactical guide though? Will those be an exclusive item for those who buy this deal or would those two things be something that you can purchase as an add-on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomofica 1 Posted March 2, 2013 Is the digital deluxe worth it for the added digital maps and tactical guide though? Will those be an exclusive item for those who buy this deal or would those two things be something that you can purchase as an add-on? The digital contents (tactical guide and maps) are Digital Deluxe and Supporter Edition exclusives and can't be purchased separately. Personally, I don't think their cost comes anywhere close to the difference in price points between the regular Alpha and Digital Deluxe editions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winfernal 2 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm not buying SE because of extra games, soundtracks or tactital guides. I'm buying it because, A: The price is what i expected A3 to cost. B: I can afford it. C: I want to show my full support to Bohemia, with my wallet. :) And i also get a chance to get my name in the credits! So why not? :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
