You're right. Order will retail in the UK for £45, that's more like $69.50. The game is not $60, it's $69.50, the more you know.
I don't want to rent my 8 hour games with little replay value for 20$. You can buy both civ 4: BTS and FTL for that money and those games are fun for 100s of hours and I don't need to sell them again. How about this deal: I pay a fixed, reasonable amount of money and get a game in return which I can then play whenever I want to. If The Order: 1886 doesn't have that deal, I'm not buying it. I'll just pick up five longer, better games for it's price with the next steam sale. I'm not sure what it matters to you anyway. (you seem a bit worked up in your post) Why is the way I choose to spend or not spend my money your concern? Do you have a vested interest in The Order being played or sold a lot?Phoenixmgs said:All of this stupid is The Order 1886 worth $60 discussion is pointless because the game isn't going to cost you $60. Say you beat the game in 5.5 hours after paying $60 and say you hated it or loved the shit out it but you'd never replay it. Well...
ProTip: you can fucking sell the game!!!
If you buy the game on release and beat it over the weekend. You're going to be able to get at least $40 for it if you sell it. Thus, the game only costs you $20. I'm going to buy it (since I'm in the mood for a game like The Order) from Target as you get a $20 PSN card for $5 more. The game + $5 more + tax = ~$70. Then take off $15 immediately due to the PSN card, which brings the cost to $55. Then, if you sell for $40 after playing it, it only cost $15 total. What's the point of waiting for a game to drop to $30, $20, or whatever when you can play it now for that price?
The real question:
Is The Order 1886 worth $15-$20?
Actually here in Australia, console games have always been more expensive than their PC versions...Phoenixmgs said:That is one of the many reasons I barely PC game. Most PC gamers love to point out that you can build a more powerful PC for the same price of a console but they always fail to factor in the much cheaper console game prices. I don't have to wait to play a game, I can go out and buy it day 1 if I want and pay the same price as someone waiting for the price to drop.Barbas said:Most AAA games I comes across nowadays - whether digital or physical - can only be activated and played on one device, because they require Steam, Origin or uPlay. That means there's not really much of an incentive to get them on or near launch day, when they are traditionally at their most expensive. There's no resale value to count on there and they're unlikely to work as required. If I buy via GreenManGaming, I can get maybe a 25% discount a while after launch day. Otherwise, I wait until Steam sales.
Because you get to own it for $20 instead of renting it for $20. Some people like their game collections.Phoenixmgs said:What's the point of waiting for a game to drop to $30, $20, or whatever when you can play it now for that price?
OK, then, now please explain to me how I'm going to have access to that $50 (between the buying and selling). In my current financial situation, it is important to have access to every dollar I can have access to and spend my money incredibly wisely. That includes not putting a lot of money down with the hopes of getting most of it back later, because I may need it between those two times.Phoenixmgs said:I played Bioshock Infinite plus its Burial At Sea DLC for far less the $60 ($7 + whatever the Burial At Sea episodes costs) and I didn't wait for price drops. I pay less for games and don't wait for price drops.
There are some of us underground motherfuckers, PC master race represent, that continue to beef and feud with Steam and Origin and refuse their digital service. You say Lord GabeN. I say FUCK DAT! I buy 'em retail. Keepin' dat shit real and live. Legit. Strait like that.shrekfan246 said:I don't like the death of physical copies either
