    Nope that's the price bud.
    The only country getting it for the normal $60 price is the US. As far as I know it's 70 Euro in the EU.
    They missed a huge section of the gaming public with a price like that.

    Is $60 even normal though for a PC game? Even that's like R900. Crazy.

    Yeah, the average price of a AAA title nowadays is about $60. But in SA the average price difference between a console game and PC game is normally R100 from what I've noticed.

    I saw it on special at loot for R999 or something and had a WTF moment. Cannot believe any one spends that much on a game.

    So, worth a buy at this price yet?

    Do you still have to stream the cut scenes or what not from the interwebs?

    I just finished Quantum Break and I can completely understand why it's getting mixed reviews. There are parts of the game that's absolutely amazing. I also think the whole live video thing works well. The story is excellent and you can see a ton of work has gone into the game.

    However it's let down a bit by its combat sections. It's a bit on the boring side and reminds me a lot of Alan Wake's combat which is of course expected from Remedy. I love the Alan Wake games and yet I find Quantum Break a good game but not a great game.

    The ending really sets up a sequel and I hope a sequel does come out eventually because if they can fix the combat but keep the excellent writing and setting then they've got a winner.

    *edit*

    I see the game ratings go from 100 down to 40. Pretty crazy:

    How dependant is the game or story on the live video stuff?

    A lot! Your choices and things affect the videos and then you get more story. Then the game continues where the videos stop. You don't have to download it however, you can stream it like Netflix when you get to it.

    I downloaded them and it was over 70GB!
