m not going 2 have money 4 this...
That's crazy talk!
Ag you know what, at the end of the day it's still worth it.
Not only are you getting a brilliant Singleplayer experience, but you are getting a title that's giving you YEARS of online and LAN enjoyment, R500 is smallchange then......
Im sorry thats too close to console pricing for my taste. Ill put it on my xmas list but im seriously not paying R500 for a standard edition PC game. No ways. Too many other titles coming out the same time.
True, but what do you get with it? Or is it just a disc and manual?Originally Posted by Maplassie
I see no reason why barebone PC games should take a jump to console pricing... It upsets my happy little word.
Look, don't take me wrong, its a hefty hike for a PC game, and yes it's the normal vanilla version, but yeah, for a title to give me that much enjoyment, for US to get FREE DLC where the console players have to pay R60 per DLC pack, and again as stated above, the timespan I will be playing this game, makes it worth it.
Fine Print ->The Fact that I am an UBER COD S.L.U.T HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ABOVE STATEMENT. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU HEAR!!!!
LOL
I am buying ARMAII this weekend, setting me back R400. COD World at War set me back R400 in April.....
There's no way I would pay R500 for the standard edition of a pc game. Seems with activision new policies that starcraft 2 will be a budget buy. Was never going to get mw2. Seems activision is trying really hard to replace EA is the evil empire.
If you get "free" DLC, and you love it, then I suppose it's worth it. I bought The Last Remnant for R500 when it was first released. If you love something enough, you buy it... It's just how it works. But the pricing is ridiculous should it ever become mainstream
All this is, is Activision/Blizzard seeing a nice little spot to make billions. They know there are alot of addicts like Mappy out there who will fork out enormous amounts of money for the game. Its a gr8 game and yes the MP is awesome but its not worth R500. No pc game is.
