This is just a bullshit take. It's fucking fine for a sequel to use the same map, ffs. Have you fucking played A Link Between Worlds? It using a familiar map allows it to go balls to the fucking wall with hidden stuff for you to find. Easter eggs, upgrades, fun.

I don't think anyone is upset about defending a reused map, because a reused map is part of the bit.

Can't speak for other games as I don't pay attention to their BP but Overwatch, Destiny, Halo and PTCGL Battlepasses are all pretty good value imo.

Overwatch and Halo give good skins in their passes and Halo specifically rewards you with enough currency to get the next BP for free.

Destiny gives great rewards like new weapons, skins and resources. Most Destiny players buy the Deluxe Expansion yearly which includes the expansion and all 4 season passes for the year. Destiny also delivers a TON of content in its seasons - they put other games seasons to shame if you ask me.

PTCGL essentially doesn't have a paid BP. They flat out just give you the currency to buy the "premium" battlepass and there's no way to actually pay money for the in-game currency. Pretty fair.

I'm with you there man, battlepasses really don't offend me so long as they respect my time.

8 is a LOT though - I thought I was bad with 4! I only really get the BP if I'm sure I'll finish it; Halo, Overwatch and PTCGL only really ask that you play like 2 games per day to finish the battlepass with weeks to spare and I usually finish the Destiny pass in about 3 weeks.

Zero.

I also never ever ever bought a battle pass in my life. Like, explicitly battle pass. I on occasion bought a bundle or something like that which included a battle pass, but not as an individual purchase for its own sake.

Personally I think you literally have to be brainwashed or brain damaged to buy a battle pass, especially at the prices most companies are asking. The dollar to content value, compared to a core game, is almost always beyond abysmal.
