Subject: Halo 3: ODST is $60. Deal with it.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Yes, Bungie did say they didn't view at as a fully-priced game. They also said they were aiming for a 3-5 hour campaign, but saying that "the team will likely be going beyond that mark."

Those were said about 9 months ago.

1 week ago, it was revealed by Joseph Staten in a walkthrough with IGN that the game had grown considerably since they first revealed the project, and that it was no longer just an expansion, but more of a game.

And even if you feel it's still overpriced, don't buy it, and please stop whining on these forums.

Didn't your parents teach you to get a job and not be poor?

"I can't afford something that costs $60!"

Sorry for not wanting to waste $60 for basically an expansion to Halo 3. I dont care how much crap they put in there, its still an expansion.

Yeah, it's not like we're in a recession or anything.

  • 06.13.2009 12:08 AM PDT

i agree, OP.

the people complaining are just pissy because they don't want to spend money.

they just need to get over it.

if you like Halo, then you shouldn't care (or at the very least, don't complain about) the price of a new Halo game.

Yeah, it's not like we're in a recession or anything.

And it's not like during this recession, you were able to afford an Xbox 360, Gold Xbox Live, Internet, a cellular phone, computer, and a television as well as numerous games.

Well, you weren't buying it, and you said there was a recession, so you implied, and I inferred.

And if it doesn't affect you, there are still people who are going to not buy because of it who still bought the above items.

I like Halo, but there's difference from being a fanboy who will buy anything that says Halo on it, to be being a fan who knows when to spend his money.

I will deal with it. I will deal with it by renting it, beating campaign with some friends in half of a day, try firefight, and save myself from buying maps and H3MM I already own. Since no code is needed to play the Beta I will rent it again the very day the Beta comes out. I will buy mythic maps set 2 from XBLMP and save $40 total and buy a different game.....

Too bad those maps are never going to be on marketplace. I hope that Bungie makes them required in every playlist in order to keep out poor people like you. And you probably stole your Xbox, because if you can't afford $60 products, I doubt you could spend that $1000+ that you spent on Xbox, a tv, internet, Live, and numerous games.

i'm somewhat of a Halo fanboy. but i never bought Halo Wars. wanna know why? i didn't like it. and it seems to me that Halo Wars "says Halo on it", does it not to you?

but i AM going to buy ODST, because it's worth the money.

It will be on XBLMP so boo frikken hoo....for you. Affordability is not the issue. I just can't bring myself to give M$ $30 for content I already own. Unlike myself you obviously don't mind giving money away. It must be nice to be rich or have mommy buy games for you. I'm gonna rent it and burn through campaign try firefight although I already know how much I dislike Bot AI survival game modes. I will be playing the Beta too.

No it will not be on Xbox Live Marketplace. Those maps are exclusive to ODST. And don't run to your poor mommy when you learn that.

What you're not understanding, is that it's not about affordability. It never was, it never will be. It's about the principle. I'm essentially paying extra for stuff I already own, and I don't want to do that.

The only new content in the game is the campaign, firefight, and 3 new maps.

Everything else, is just Halo 3 multiplayer with every map pack; this is why I won't buy the game.

But what's the point? I can't convince you to look at it from my point of view. You're that type of person who will buy the Halo Board Game, Halo toilet paper, Halo everything; at any price, at any time.

I'm done with this thread.

i don't know who this was directed towards, but i'll pretend it was me for a minute.

A. i spend my money wisely.
B. i'm middle class.
C. i buy my own games by selling the ones i never play anymore.
D. my Halo 3 disk broke a while back. for the past few months i've been using my friend's, but he wanted his back three weeks ago. so instead of buying a new Halo 3 and then buying ODST, i'll just buy ODST.

so tell me, why should the $60 price piss me off.

(and btw, i know i speak for more than just myself when i say all this)

  • 06.13.2009 12:24 AM PDT

If it is good and worth the 60 dollars, then there is no problem for me. If it is way short and not fun (unlikely), then it won't be worth $60.

dvfah, not directed towards you....seeing how you don't own H3 anymore it would be a good deal at $60. I on the other hand own it bought all the maps on XBLMP on all 3 release dates and don't see why I should be coerced into buying them all over again........Seriously why don't all you nut swingers come down on me for saving money while beating ODST and playing the Beta??? You're always crying about me dealing with it and when I tell you how I will deal you get all pissy and start talking smack to me.....could it be deep down you feel stupid for giving money away.
