god i feel like that zombie from I am legend Beating its head against the ground when it landed in the light.

skull bouncing repeatedly off the asphalt of the freaking daytime street, fuitless effort to stop the -blam!-ing pain of the community's stupidity on the matter of the pricing of the game.

Get the hell over it. really i'm -blam!-ing tired of reading all you threads about the price isn't fair!!! or Do You like paying for something twice? (this one especially pisses me off, because it is presented as if it is being ambiguous, but is OBVIOUSLY calling Microsoft out on the pricing issue).

Am i a Microsoft Fanboy? Not at all. I -blam!-ing HATE microsoft. I use a mac, hell I own 3 -blam!-ing Macs, and took my PC and replaced Vista with Buntu because of Microsofts failiure at LIFE, that's right The dregs of Linux is better than Microsoft's "STATE OF THE -blam!-ing ART" system

so why in god's -blam!-ing good name do i give two flying -blam!-s about what is said here? I like Halo. hell Halo is the reason i own a game system at all. don't get me started on the God Damned PS3 either. their Awkward -blam!-ing Carpal -blam!-ing Tunnel Syndrome arr-tard controller is so difficult to use it takes the fun out of gaming.

and you know what else is sucking the joy and sunlight out of gaming for me??? the complaints of this once happy, if not slightly ego-maniacal, community. The constant complaints have risen out of the odd, BR vs No BR threads and now we have the -blam!-ing war of 1812 on our hands Burn the -blam!-ing white house says one side, the other yelling get the -blam!- out of our land!!!! Both sides have reach the point where I'd worry about someone blowing themselves up in an slightly screwed up and suicidal attempt at destroying a forum from their own living room.

Seriously Give it the Flying -blam!- up. The price is decided, there are no -blam!-ing Barney the Purple Armour Wearing Dinosaurs In ODST, the B -blam!-ing R isn't in ODST, and guess the -blam!- what?!?!?!?! You are not Gods! You have no say, no -blam!-ing power, and you have no way to change anything. It's all decided, it will not change, so why complain about the fixed, the constant? it's like Gravity. it is and always will be 9.81 meters a second squared at sea level. It's like the speed of light will always be represented as c even though there is no letter c in the word "light". it's there. IT WILL NOT CHANGE. So give it the -blam!- up!!!!

/rant.


now. I'm sorry for my outburst but this is getting ridiculous.

Actually you fudging r tard the price of ODST will change after a few months you dum dum. Think before you post. I think Q is now used to repersent light because you just fudge it all up.

All games go down in price after a while...

And he's a "dum dum"? Congratulations you managed to present an argument with the intellectual equivalent equal to that of a two year old.

the maps are not the price increaser(sp? lol not even a word)

the game is lets say 5-7 hours. that is litterally a full retail game.
WAW was a port of the COD4 engine with a hoard like addition with a 4-6 hour campaign. and guess what? it went for $60!!!! did anyone complain? no.

Force unleashed was 5-7 hours with NO other game mode at all that went for $60 and it had no complaints

so why is a game that has the hoardish game mode and 5-7 hours of campaign with theater, not worth $60 even without the 3 new maps? let alone the H3 MM


Could we have a link to your source saying the game was 5-7 hours long. And cod 5 to ODST are unrealistic comparisons... cod 5 had dedicated multyplayer, odst does not. Cod 5 was created by diffrent develepor, odst was not.

  • 07.09.2009 3:03 AM PDT

Halo 3: ODST is totally worth $60.
Campaign: 14+ hours (I will play it more than once)
Firefight: 100+ hours
Multiplayer: 100+ hours
Halo: Reach Beta: 100+ hours

ODST is worth the money and I have a naughty little insult for everyone who doesn't think so.

YOU ARE ALL DIRTY MLGs!!!

  • 07.09.2009 3:19 AM PDT

:P

Foman is awesome!

The OP's comparison of WaW and ODST in prices does not make sense. WaW has multplayer which helps justify its 60 dollar price, ODST has THE SAME EXACT MULTIPLAYER as Halo 3.

  • 07.09.2009 4:04 AM PDT

Am I the only person to notice that Halo ODST does NOT cost $60? From Amazon it costs a HUGE £29.96, possibly $35 US. $35 seems a perfectly reasonably price to me...

Huh, that kinda sounds like how Modern Warfare and WaW use the same engine, weird.

-Brand-new achievements, armor, emblems. ($5)
I wouldn't pay anthing for these but ok. Did you not realize that so many people are still begging for a new character model in Halo 3? That's gotta be worth something, duh.

-Halo 3 campaign ($15)
-Halo 3 MatchMaking ($10 - note, same price as fire-fight in ODST.)
-Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack ($5)

There's $60 dollars! Oh yeah I forgot.

-Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack ($10)
Oh my god, like, totally! That's $40 of stuff we already have! So, by your reasoning, we already have 50% of ODST, but we still have to pay for it again! Yay, that's totally worth it! Also, please note that matchmaking does not apply to firefight. Uhh yeah, I'm planning on keeping my Halo 3 disc, but that's because I'm a collector. You might not be, so why not sell you Halo 3 for 50% so, it's like, the money you need.

-New Halo 3 maps Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore (approx. same as Mythic's = $10)imo not worth $10, but that's just my opinion and is highly debatable. Definitely your opinion, a lot of people wanted a remake of Midship and would probably pay $10 just for it. And everyone getting the new map's will get that and 2+ maps.

So if you really feel like they're over-pricing it. You're wrong. hahahahaha

I win.

Posted by: KwebiclozI'm assuming that in your last post you just failed at quoting?

Did you not realize that so many people are still begging for a new character model in Halo 3? That's gotta be worth something, duh.Not to me. And as far as I know, there aren't any new character models for the multiplayer. All you get is the ability to unlock recon, which isn't a new character model. Also, would you pay for horse armour? Because a new character model and horse armour are essentially the same thing.

Uhh yeah, I'm planning on keeping my Halo 3 disc, but that's because I'm a collector. You might not be, so why not sell you Halo 3 for 50% so, it's like, the money you need.I shouldn't have to sell my game, which contains half of what ODST offers, just to justify the price of ODST. Here's a better idea: why not reduce the price of ODST, since we already own half of it?

I win.hahahahaha

Using the same engine sounds nothing like using the same multiplayer. CoD 4 and 5 use the same engine, but there are substantial differences between their multiplayer components. Halo 3 and ODST's multiplayer components are exactly the same. Exactly. The. Same. On another note, many, many games use the Unreal Engine. Does that mean they have the same multiplayer?

For all you complainers about this, in my opinion BE GLAD IT'S $60.
To me it should be more than $60 I'm not going to list prices because that's just funny how people think they can call out the price, but think Halo MM, all the maps, three new maps, ODST campaign, and FireFight.

  • 07.09.2009 7:27 AM PDT

if you dont want it dont buy it. if you want the maps get points or wait til reach comes out then it will be freeand people will still play halo 3

I've seen a similar thread to this that states the reason of it's price. Guys seriously. It isn't that expensive and we all know it's gonna kick ass. Who knows maybe it will be longer than six hours.

The new Optimus Prime life-size, interactive intelligence doll is $20,000USD! But I only think it's worth $15,000USD :(

I guess I'll just complain about it.

god i feel like that zombie from I am legend Beating its head against the ground when it landed in the light.

skull bouncing repeatedly off the asphalt of the freaking daytime street, fuitless effort to stop the -blam!-ing pain of the community's stupidity on the matter of the pricing of the game.

Get the hell over it. really i'm -blam!-ing tired of reading all you threads about the price isn't fair!!! or Do You like paying for something twice? (this one especially pisses me off, because it is presented as if it is being ambiguous, but is OBVIOUSLY calling Microsoft out on the pricing issue).

Am i a Microsoft Fanboy? Not at all. I -blam!-ing HATE microsoft. I use a mac, hell I own 3 -blam!-ing Macs, and took my PC and replaced Vista with Buntu because of Microsofts failiure at LIFE, that's right The dregs of Linux is better than Microsoft's "STATE OF THE -blam!-ing ART" system

so why in god's -blam!-ing good name do i give two flying -blam!-s about what is said here? I like Halo. hell Halo is the reason i own a game system at all. don't get me started on the God Damned PS3 either. their Awkward -blam!-ing Carpal -blam!-ing Tunnel Syndrome arr-tard controller is so difficult to use it takes the fun out of gaming.

and you know what else is sucking the joy and sunlight out of gaming for me??? the complaints of this once happy, if not slightly ego-maniacal, community. The constant complaints have risen out of the odd, BR vs No BR threads and now we have the -blam!-ing war of 1812 on our hands Burn the -blam!-ing white house says one side, the other yelling get the -blam!- out of our land!!!! Both sides have reach the point where I'd worry about someone blowing themselves up in an slightly screwed up and suicidal attempt at destroying a forum from their own living room.

Seriously Give it the Flying -blam!- up. The price is decided, there are no -blam!-ing Barney the Purple Armour Wearing Dinosaurs In ODST, the B -blam!-ing R isn't in ODST, and guess the -blam!- what?!?!?!?! You are not Gods! You have no say, no -blam!-ing power, and you have no way to change anything. It's all decided, it will not change, so why complain about the fixed, the constant? it's like Gravity. it is and always will be 9.81 meters a second squared at sea level. It's like the speed of light will always be represented as c even though there is no letter c in the word "light". it's there. IT WILL NOT CHANGE. So give it the -blam!- up!!!!

/rant.


now. I'm sorry for my outburst but this is getting ridiculous.

Actually you fudging r tard the price of ODST will change after a few months you dum dum. Think before you post. I think Q is now used to repersent light because you just fudge it all up.


all prices for games go down, there is still nothing you can do about it, it is a constant.

Dum Dum? Really? I think I'm more capable than a hollow point round. I at least can communicate. You present the argument of a Child.

The speed of light is notated a c as shown here in the second paragraph. or according to any self respecting physics text. The Speed of Light in a Vacuum is represented by the constant c

and as for your post a little later on that states your IQ to be 120, if you are not a 20 year old middle class white male an IQ test is inaccurate.If you happen to be a middle class white male under the age of 18 guess what?!?!?! 120 is average. Personally I am a middle class white male aged 20, and have an IQ of 142. But IQ doesn't measure how smart you are, it measures your capacity to learn. Two very different things.

In spite of all of the BS'ing going on here about the supposed value of gameplay segments, there is actually a very reliable test you can run to see if a price is fair.

Question 1
Are you going to buy it?

If that answer is yes, then the price is fair because the cost of a product is not dictated by the cost of production but of the willingness of the consumer to go along with it.

If you buy the product, then you acknowledge that the price is fair because you meet the only condition in the question of equity. If not, then the price is unfair. Mind you this is all subjective so there isn't really any point in arguing about it, y'all, because this whole process is based on your own personal values.
