Sparticus Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just another example of why there's no point (From a consumer's point of view) in paying top whack for a game any more. The price is always bound to crash within a month unless it's call of duty. I like games, not like I did when I was a kid, but the whole cycle of things is just a joke. Take Test drive 2 and Dead Space 2 as examples, they had download content available before the games were even out! So in effect you're paying for an incomplete game. I was going to get your shape fitness evolved, then read there's a dozen dlc packages planned! It's beyond milking, hence why i'm glad guitar hero has gone up against the wall, since the consumer stopped buying them as they were tired of getting bled for every last penny they had.

t8yman Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think it looks great....what is dull about it in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybles Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I just think its uninspiring, its too big for your pocket, and will undoubtedly be too expensive to be a device you would want to carry around in public. It doesn't do a lot new either, and it isnt even a HD screen. yes it looks nice, but I don't really think the market need a new psp, nor do I believe the 3ds is going to be any good.

Gre Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Totally. I rarely pay full whack for a game on release day now. It needs to be a game I'm really interested in, has quite a good bit of money off or I have games to trade in. But yeah, it's not worth buying a game on realease day now.

G-Stud Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think its because there is always something shiny and new around the corner. Who's going to pay full whack for Need for Speed now that Test Drive is out, or the 2 month old shooter when a new one is out next week.(Gran Turismo seems to be an exception) Compare that to the Wii, where the 'marque' titles like Mario Galaxy 1&2, New Super Mario Bros, even Mario Party, are still hanging around at close to their original prices. I think because there isn't much else to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABun Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I traded in Harry Potter and fifa 11 the other week - those were what came with my ps3 - I then got Assassins creed II, NFS hot pursuit and Oblivion for about £17. I was a bit disappointed with the value i got for HP as it was a new game but i suppose as its shit the market isn't there for re-sale. I've nearly completed AC just got the final fight to finish. Then i'll be on ACII - i've really enjoyed it though it was a bit samey towards the end. Really looking forward to ACII. Question - i've never played test drive i've played most of the NFS games - is it good? If so i might get TD2 at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ™ Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ok so all you Killzone experts, never played any of them before.. sell Killzone 3 to me.. though to be honest the PS3 Move Sharp Shooter gun looks like fun to use with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Finished Black Ops last night. Serious struggle, wont be playing the next one. Apart from one mission where you break out of a POW camp I thought it was average. Wont be rushing out to get the next one. And after the credits roll theres the biggest jumping of the shark I’ve ever seen in a computer game. Which is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABun Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Started ACII last night so far really enjoying it, loving the blending in crowds thing and the extra fighting skills that you get. Nothing better than going home from a stressful day at work and assasinating people for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
