Bryanco1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I got this one and to me it does not seem worth 15 dollars. Its ok but there is nothing mind blowing about it. It does have a 3d mode for those who happen to keep 3d glasses laying around. I am just curious what other people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squodge Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I paid roughly US$15 for some 'full price games' for my ZX Spectrum back in 1989, so I think you're complaining about nothing. US$15 back in 1989 is worth about US40 now, so you're getting a bargain. We didn't even have the option to do game saves in those days. ~ squodge ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanco1 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 I did the same thing just with a Nintendo which did have a few game saves but my point is games are being made today just to make them. Paying for a game to day compared to the eighties is completely different in my opinion. When we bought the games back then they were at their maximum technology potential. Now the lower psn games seem to just throw a game together in high def and say its great. This one reminds me of the old NES kung fu game just with better graphics.

NEOPARADIGM Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I paid roughly US$15 for some 'full price games' for my ZX Spectrum back in 1989, so I think you're complaining about nothing. US$15 back in 1989 is worth about US40 now, so you're getting a bargain. Fair enough, but when a game like Burnout: Paradise is only $20, and you can get games like Dead Space, BioShock and Oblivion for under $30, this argument loses some steam. I mean seriously, The Orange Box is $20 now, and this game is $15? That dog don't exactly hunt. Personally, I've only been truly pleased with one $15 game - BF:1943. The rest have all left that "man, I wish this was $10" taste in my mouth, including this one. Still have to try it in 3D, though. Maybe that will make up for it.

juzam666 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 $15 PSN games should NOT exist. The exception being retail games & wipeout (which is considered a retail game). PSN games should be $9.99. Whats with the funk $12.99 Worms??? It doesn't matter the number of trophies either. Reatil price point on games are dropping quick, very quick. You can walk into any store and get SF4 for $35. Mirrors Edge & Trivial Pursuit for $20. Ive even seen Warhawk with the mic for $30. Another thing.. add-ons are WAY over priced. $10? Are you kidding me?! $10 for a stupid W@W map? Sure it has trophies, but $10. I know its going to sell anyways, as it has, but com'mon man. $10?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squodge Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thing is, even if a game is poor - a team of people had to put it together. Who pays for their wages? If they sold PSN games at $5 to start with, it would take forever to re-coup the costs. Also, I don't think games are necessarily priced on how good they might be. Some games will always sell well regardless of their cost - look at PAIN. The most overpriced game I've bought on PSN is Magic Ball. Yes, I got my 100% on it, including the DLC... I bought the DLC at the same time as the original game, so I had no idea of the replay value of the game (next to zero). ~ squodge ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is when a poor game comes out and it is over priced like this one. It is at MOST a 10 dollar game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that Invincible Tiger probably cost more to program than something like Noby Noby Boy. Thing is, most people seem to agree that games like Terminator Salvation are a pile of pants... yet people seem happy to pay $50 for them, or whatever the cost is in Walmart. One of the best games I've ever bought was PixelJunk Monsters... £3.49 (about $5), and I was sad when I finished the game. ~ squodge ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_Watch Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Didn't they try selling the $15 price based on the fact that it's the first 3D game for this generation? Weak argument, but hey. NES Kung Fu Master fans, step on up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copperkid Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 so i'm taking it as a "dont buy" even for $7.49? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidRain213 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I don't see how this game can be worth $15, I just bought Dead Space new for $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
