bushwack April 12, 2010 Share bushwack Member April 12, 2010 Stinking 60 bucks for Starcraft 2, who else besides me won't be picking up Starcraft 2 when it releases? Maybe I'm just getting old, but I haven't played a compelling RTS in YEARS. I'm talking Red Alert 2 was the last time I have fun with a RTS. I'm not picking sides, while I liked RA2 and thought WC3 stank, I didn't care for RA3. Or even Age of Empires 3 for that matter. RTS have just turned me off... What I want? Dungeon Keeper 3. Or maybe Startopia 2. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclean April 12, 2010 Share Unclean Member April 12, 2010 60 bucks?! Dang, that seems pricey. I don't know how I'd justify that - maybe if the demo knocks my socks off. Is there going to be a SC2 demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan April 12, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 12, 2010 I bet the same thing is going to happen to D3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest April 12, 2010 Share lousiest Member April 12, 2010 I bet the same thing is going to happen to D3. And Blizzard does not disappoint: Diablo 3 pre-order on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan April 12, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 12, 2010 I knew this was going to happen. Activision raised MW2 to 60 bucks because "we know it's going to be a huge release" just to make more money. They know it's going to be the same for SC2 and D3. Soon other publishers are going to do the same and that'll be the end of $50 PC games...at least for first party publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieChan April 13, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 13, 2010 Shrug. I always remembered games always being 50 bucks...unless you're Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy April 13, 2010 Share Jiffy Member April 13, 2010 its been 60 for ps3 games since the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling April 16, 2010 Share samurai nightling Member April 16, 2010 I was fairly certain the era of $60 for a new game started with the PS3/xbox 360. I always bought PS2 games new at $50, except for ones like guitar hero which come with extra equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan April 17, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 17, 2010 Pah, who cares about console game prices. PC games should never exceed 50 dollars unless it's one of those gimmicky special editions with stuff included you'll never use/need/want anyway.

Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass April 17, 2010 Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member April 17, 2010 (edited) $60 is a bit on the high side for a video game...and waiting for the price to come down will mean waiting for a long time. My purchase habits for the last few years have been not to buy a game when it first comes out, but wait a few months for the deals to come. I will do the same with this game, but I don't think there will be a deal on this game for a very long time. Still waiting for Fallout 3 to drop to a decent price (Just checked the steam price for the first time in awhile, I think I'll get it now ). Edited April 17, 2010 by Sgt.

bushwack April 17, 2010 Author Share bushwack Member April 17, 2010 Yeah the only game PC game I have paid full price for in the past few years was Fallout 3. But it was totally worth it, and I even pre-ordered the Collector's edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
