It got delayed

[Muki 0]

Wait damn near 3 years for a 12 hour game with no new game plus

How is that even remotely ok

Left a whole ass dlc potential side story

Its ba

Its bs

That’s what it is

You cant seriously telll me you will be willing to pay a high price for a 2 hour game cuz its “fully fleshed out” you have to be joking

[Otti#8624 26]

Of course not because that is very short but that is just a gotcha statement and nothing more. You would have a point if a game existed at that price for 2 hours but it doesn't. 13 hours isn't a short time either, especially with a game that's built like this.

What about that Xbox game that came out earlier this year that was like 4 hours?

[Otti#8624 26]

But if we start judging a game based on time = price then so many JRPGs need to be over 100 bucks just to play

[Muki 0]

No

[Muki 0]

Im judging its quality here

I payed that much

I expect a FULLY FLEDGED game

Not a 13 hour game with collectsbles

[Otti#8624 26]

Literally the same as the first game

Except here you also have two protagonists

[Muki 0]

It was cheaper plus thats why its the first game

EXACTLY TWO PROTAGS NEEDS TO MEAN MORE CONTENT

[Otti#8624 26]

Hellblade? Pretty sure that was 40 or 50

[Muki 0]

LMAO

[Muki 0]

Hellblade

40 hours

Cmon otti

[Otti#8624 26]

You clearly know I meant price there

[Muki 0]

Snake was talking hours

So i just assumed i did not clearly know my bad

But yes Spiderman 2 was a huge let down especially considering hiw insomniac takes their time to make quality games

(Even though i know like 4/5 games they made)

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

so the basic idea muki is presenting is that a game's price needs to be worth the amount of content it has, and content is determined by hours of play time. is that about right?

[Muki 0]

Sounds about right

I rarely ever buy games on full price cuz of that, only ones i do are from series im familiar with

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

but what about something like hellblade? it has minimal content (finished in 4 hours, apparently) but there was a lot of work put into it, so it gets a standard price tag instead of a reduced one

[Muki 0]

Play it on gamepass

[Muki 0]

Cuz i know i sure did

A 4 hour game with work put into it isnt worth the standard price twge

A 4 hour game with work put into it isnt worth the standard price tag

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

but what do you do if it's not on gamepass, or if a person doesn't want to buy gamepass? they still have to assign a price to it in that case

[Muki 0]

Then they buy it on sale

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

but for there to be a sale, there has to be a standard price first. we're going in circles avoiding the price here

[Muki 0]

By all means splurge on what you want but some games arent worth their pricing

Pricing for games is usually to make a profit and get reimbursed for the money they spent, a company making 4 hour games releases them as £60 is robbing guys out of their money

You can’t compare the likes of ragnarok to hellblade, one is actually worth its price

In the case of spiderman we got let down in other ways too.
Side stories were not necessarily complete especially the carnage one cuz we thought there was gonna be a tie in dlc, no new game plus at launch aswell. 13 hours of content spread between two characters is bullshit. Two characters is supposed to mean theres more content, more things to do, more to the story. Some parts of the game can be considered filler as well so yeah

Spiderman 2 did not live up to its hype and wasnt worth its price

[Otti#8624 26]

But how would a DLC then solve the issue, you are still putting more money into the product for one you found disappointing
