Yes, but I feel this game should be viewed as an expansion.

yeah this reminds me of the time i got sent to jail for stealing crocs from target becozs i wanted all of the colors because i only got the green wons for my birthday and i wanted more ;)

ODST is primarily a campaign, it was not intented for multiplayer, thus the halo 3 MP was used.
and ODST comes with almost all of halo 3's features, not just MP, forge, theater, screen shots, file shares.

and by your reasoning, fallout 3 (i love useing it as an example), should have only been US $30, as it is "just" a campaign, no multiplayer at all.

Porkstein.. what do you think making this thread is going to do? It just shows what an arrogant, usless dick you are. Just quit while your ahea- well, just quit.


And your not a dick for posting THAT?

Anyway, i agree with the OP, that had alot of logic and was well thought of...props for you my good man...

oh and everyone saying just dont buy the game...he said he was going to buy it, but he just thinks the price is to high...

*EDIT
Can you say irony?

Well, the campaign was 20 hours long.

Still, you too are ignoring this idea of development cost. Bioshock ran off a new engine, was set in a new universe, included 100s of new weapons and plasmids, etc.

Yeah but assassin's creed for example was 7 hours long, and didn't have multiplayer and it still was 60 dollars and a lot of people including me bought it

Development cost. Look at what AC brought to the table. Look at everything innovative it did, how much needed to be developed.

Halo 3 sold 9 million copies. I think using that logic Bungie would have the common sense to not charge us for the halo content all over again.

  • 08.22.2009 4:01 PM PDT

microsoft doesnt base its games on how much replayabillity it has

i bet if a game like barbie pony adventures came out it would be 65 dollars

  • 08.22.2009 4:06 PM PDT

Forums? Psh.

Despite the inevitable hate, I read the whole post and thought it was really good. Well constructed thoughts, backed up logically, and with a willingnesss to debate. Bravo. ignore the hate your post was great. Also, I agree. Whole-freakin-heartedly.

  • 08.22.2009 4:16 PM PDT

the only thing this game doesnt have is is matchmaking sounds like 60 dollars to me

Hey, thanks a lot! Truth be told I wasn't expecting many people to see things from my point of view, but it does seem as though almost nobody understands.

It's nice to see somebody who finally does.

Do you think we should have to pay for all of that content again, though?

Keep it classy Flood.

It's a game on a disc. ALL new games on discs cost $60. How could you not have figured that out?

Yes, I AM your mom

It's a full game.

Other full games, regardless of how "groundbreaking" they are, are priced at 60.00 as well.

I worked this week. My production values were essentially the same. So, due to lack of "groundbreaking" and "innovation", all my hard work is now worth...less? Shall my employer dock my check? Shall your employer dock YOUR check? Eh, mate?

You sir, fail to value OTHER people's work.

So, price too high? Raise the money, sell your keyboard.

I don't see how the release of a new game is analogous to the continuation of work.

Admittedly, there are many games out there that sell for $60 that are not innovative or groundbreaking or large content-wise. These games are bad. We should not be comparing ODST to them, unless we believe that ODST is going to be just as poor value for money.

And thus you fail to understand the value of the work involved.

Work is not expected to be innovative. Games are. In particular games developed by Bungie.

By Bungie's standards, this is an expansion, not a game. Even the 'game's' title suggests so.

I don't know why you are complaining about the price when you are buying it. That just makes you an idiot.

It seems like a fair price. The game looks like it will be awesome.
