Company of Heroes 3: Fire & Steel Review (n8mahr)
The game is improving, but the pricing doesn´t improve the community relations...
SIDEWAYS Thumb.
Bought the "deluxe ed." base game two years ago and still feel ripped off.
It took them one year to make it almost playable.
It took them another year to call it "v.2.0" now. A patch that tackles some of the biggest problems in game, especially in Multiplayer - while issuing new: rather large balance changes to base units and the new ones with the battlegroups. It also adds some very welcome new music, maps, sound effects and: bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes.
For now, we just have to wait which new strategies and counters will evolve around it..
But: is the add-on worth the price of 23€?
Only if you´re not comparing prices to other games / add ons AND if you would call yourself a "supporter" of the franchise.
Most changes came with the update 2.0 for free, this 23€ is for a few new units / battlegroups, and, by that, new playstyles in multiplayer. I almost exclusively play this game in mp, and the investment doesn´t hurt me financially.. but I still think it´s a very steep price.
