Well, excuse me for trying to save you guys some money. >=(

Unfortunately Skills, when you cry wolf enough times, eventually everyone stops listening and just assumes you have your thumb up your ass.
Which isn't exactly a bad assumption when dealing with you in just about any situation. |
I've asked for two refunds. Out of...50 or so. Doing something twice for legitimate reasons is calling wolf now?
My God. If you're talking generally, I hope you're smart enough to realize there's just as many titles I enjoy as I don't, but no one really cares or notices if I like something, only if I don't. |

Sorry dude, I was referencing some specific in-joke and came off a bit too serious here just now, my bad. |
A bit of interesting news, Sega are bringing Virtual On to XBLA in April:
Quote:

YES. Virtual On was the fucking shit in the arcades. I don't know how much fun it'll be at home without the crazy jap-future arcade box/seat but this is definitely a choice in good taste none-the-less.
All I could wish for is that somehow that either arcade versions of Dungeons & Dragons or Aliens Versus Predator have similar fates in store for XBLA. My mind would explode at such news! |
I spent more time playing VO:OT than any other game on my Dreamcast, so this news is fucking awesome to hear. If it doesn't get a NA release I will be quite sad/forced to buy a moon XBLM point card.
|
As thrilled as I am about VO:OT, the arbitrary 1200 MS price point pisses me off. We've already had several DC games ported (Ikaruga, Vigilante 8) at the 800 price, so why all of a sudden are they charging 1200? There's nothing about VO:OT that sets it apart from other DC games as far as I know.
|
You should grab Braid while it's down to 800 points. I'd been waiting for a drop, and it definitely doesn't disappoint for that price. It's pretty fantastic in all respects except for length.
As for Virtual On, the 1200 price point is pretty irritating. I hadn't really thought about the previous DC ports we've gotten until Nutty pointed it out, and it's ridiculous. That said, I'll buy it anyway as long as it's a good port since I love VO in the arcade. |
So a port of an old game is worth 1200 MSP, but not a new game just because it's short?
Did you buy Death Tank, Tritoch? |

Just because they can charge more and people will still pay it doesn't mean they have to be dicks and actually do it. If/when oil companies start charging $3.50 for gas, people still buy it, but it doesn't mean they should charge that much.
|
They're a business. As long as people will still buy the product, they will charge as much as they think they can get away with. Their objective is to make money, not make you feel good inside. As long as you keep throwing money at things you think are overpriced they're going to keep being priced that way.

I'll pay 1200 for Virtual On (provided it's good) mostly for Live play, but even the single player will at least have replay value. Braid is short and a one-shot deal with very little replay value unless you enjoy speedruns, which I don't. Great for 800, overpriced at 1200. I'm really not sure why you people keep getting so angry at my thinking this. The length wasn't what kept me from buying it for so long, though. I tried the demo when it first came out and just wasn't impressed enough to encourage the new 1200 price point that's becoming increasingly common. The length is just my thoughts since buying it two days ago. No, I haven't gotten around to trying Death Tank's demo. How is it? It's not like I'm boycotting 1200 point games as long as they feel worth it. |
I didn't even know they were porting Quake 3 to this shit.
I'd buy it for a million MSPoints just to play as the dude that made all the kung fu noises when he jumped. |
So next month it seems Microsoft will be running an awards for Xbox Live Arcade games:

Here's the full list of awards and nominations for them: Spoiler:

Braid sweeps everything. Calling it right now.

Weren't the Dreamcast and PS2 ports supposed to be decent at best due to the controls? I never played them so I could be wrong, but I remember hearing they weren't worth it.
|
Marz sucking had far less to do with the Dualshock than anything else, but y'know.
Oratorio is pretty much the shit, and I'm happy that there's at least a few fans here to play it with when it drops. And if the retard twins buy it at least there will be a bit of cannon fodder until they stop playing it a week later. |
Is anyone here planning to buy any of the Family Game Night games released today? The $10 price point on each is kind of crazy considering the Wii and PS2 full collections are only $40 and $20 respectively, but I'm considering getting Scrabble if anyone else here is. That one's an NA-only release for some reason, so I guess that counts out PAL people.
