Oddly enough, I don't mind paying $60 for triple-A next-gen game. However, I do have a problem paying $50 for a triple-A last-gen game (e.g., waiting for God of War 2 to drop to $20).
and then they fuck it up by not even providing servers :chick:Quote:

If you're comparing features, content, and resources it takes to develop, the average game today takes a hell of a lot more to develop, and there is a hell of a lot more included then the majority of games developed a few generations ago. Especially in the 16 bit era.Quote:

Just because I love :chick::chick::chick::chick::chick::chick: doesn't mean I didn't mean it. It is the truth. It's pretty sad.Quote:

Oh, I agree completely, and my statement was more targeted at the GoW/DKC comparison, and why a comparison of those 2 games and their pricing is ridiculous.Quote:

I'll pay the extra $10, and I have on worse games then GoW, but that doesn't mean I agree with it.
The majority of games I let drop in price, but I do end up getting suckered into a few $60 games. Call of Duty 3 comes to mind (so do Resistance & Motorstorm (lawl @ ps3 :( )). But games like Import Tuner for 360 (HI 2 U TOKYO EXTREME RACING) I'll pick up when they hit $25-$30, even though I know I will love every second of them.Quote:

I'm a sucker too.
