Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted March 3, 2013 The more I think about it the less I can get away with buying a DDE - got to go supporter. I'm a well paid professional and Arma is just SO GOOD. Things like this page swing me towards Supporter City pay not defaulting you to Supporter edition, eh? ;) Can't go wrong with the Forum Badge & the seasonal DLC pass. :) Well, of course, and the fact that you'll be supporting the development in a tangible way. http://imgur.com/a/cKKWU <-- New Screens speak for themselves.

vhs tape 10 Posted March 3, 2013 Supporter edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaguarius 14 Posted March 3, 2013 Supporter edition. Because ArmA is unique, a real military simulator, instead of other "tacticool games" (if you known, what i mean) By the way - any chance to get 3D editor ? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sephisto 1 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not sold on the support edition. Give me a good reason to buy that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not sold on the support edition. Give me a good reason to buy that? As far as I see it, there are no purely objective reasons to buy the supporter edition. The extras listed for it are basically all fluff, unless you really need an extra copy of Arma X. So if you feel Arma3 will be worth that kind of money, you want to support BI and are able and willing to spend 70€ on a game, get the Supporter. Otherwise, stick with whichever of the other two suits you best. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexVestin 24 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not sold on the support edition. Give me a good reason to buy that? Because Bohemia Interactive has stayed true to their series of games all along. Not that many companies that does that. *cough*EA/DICE/UBISOFT*cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sproyd 2 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not sold on the support edition. Give me a good reason to buy that? Economically speaking you are better off with the Alpha edition. However, I would feel like a cheat paying £20 or whatever it is for Arma 3 pre-order + constant Alpha then Beta access up until release, together with mods, mission editor and more. Its about value and fairness and that is really up to you to determine. Of course if you don't have the means then by all means get the Alpha (just make sure you buy through BIS Store then validate on Steam). ---------- Post added at 14:02 ---------- Previous post was at 14:00 ---------- City pay not defaulting you to Supporter edition, eh? ;) City pay, City costs. My EC1 rent and council tax hurts more than you know! Thanks for the new screenies they all look incredible. I'm stoked I live in a world where this game exists!!!

ozzbik 70 Posted March 3, 2013 Going to buy the support edition. The Arma game series is the only one I've come across with real replay value. Even got my collegues addicted ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winfernal 2 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not sold on the support edition. Give me a good reason to buy that? If you don't look at the current prices. What would you pay for ArmA 3? What price would you find fair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alistair 10 Posted March 3, 2013 I think,the question is how much are you willing to give them to support their efforts.I am buying the Alpha edition,but thats because i am low on money,if i had the amount for the support edition,I would buy without thinking.

butter_milch 10 Posted March 3, 2013 This isn't charity you know. If they make me a good offer I'll gladly pay for it. But the mere chance of getting what I actually paid for isn't worth that money to me (I already have everything else the SE has to offer - except for the OST which doesn't interest me). In the end I really dislike the concept of giving something to people who were simply lucky enough to be first. You either offer it to everybody or you don't do it at all.

Isn't attractive? All future Arma 3 DLC's,every Arma game until now,and even the possibility of your name in the credits.People pay more than this for stupid 3 maps DLC's and a few guns... And yes,60 dollars can be a huge amount for people that work hard for it. This isn't charity you know. Yes,this isn't charity,just a support act,as a fan of their work.And considering the current state of PC gaming,and all of this "massification" of titles to attract the younger gamers,this isnt just a game but a piece of art for us,PC users,and for their effort,they deserve all the funding they can get.

It is about supporting the companies you love. I can afford it, and i want to spend the extra money to support BI. It's nice to get, but i don't care about credits, soundtracks, guides, maps or other "bonuses". I support with my wallet.

The 'bonuses' are great to get, but if you intend to spend 500 or even 1000 hrs in game it's definitely getting your money's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sephisto 1 Posted March 3, 2013 If you don't look at the current prices. What would you pay for ArmA 3? What price would you find fair? I'm buying the Alpha Edition through BIS' store. Digital Soundtrack - I can listen to that on Youtube. Digital Maps & Tactical Guide - I can view corresponding maps in-game. I don't need a tactical guide to learn how to play the game, i'll learn that from the in-game training and with experience from playing previous ArmA games. I'm not bothered about a Forum Badge or my name being in the credits. To be fair; receiving the other ArmA games and future DLC is absolutely appealing. I'm "not sold" because I understand the value of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
