Is Mirrors edge worth 50$?

So,is it?My friend loaned me a copy that is rubbish (disk scratched) and i was wondering should I get it myself (50$),and don't say:,,There's a great deal on steam...'' or anything like that because I will only get a box which costs 50$.

You can get it for $20 currently which is a savings of $30 and doesn't require a walk/drive to the store.Cdscottie

Naah, too expensive.

ya definetly ,just have a look on its graphics

i havent play any game like this till now ,its rocks just awesome wandering here and there over the buildings and in the buildings.

runners are the new concept of this game and it is just cool.

No, it's not worth that. I'd pay a fiver for it, tenner at a push. It's very repetative, run, run, mistime jump, fall to death, repeat until bored.

ya i know this, but today the base of any game is most focussing on their graphics ,then it goes on other things like gameplay,story etc.

[QUOTE="fudgeblood"] Umm, no?fudgeblood

Graphics FAIL...This is not actual gameplay... It's not worth if full priced, but you can find it for a really low price these days, it's worth it this way.

Every time someone says this, I really can't help but feel like punching a hole in the wall because it's like a broken record.

If you don't think graphics help make improve a game and make it better, you're really out of your mind. Mirror's Edge's visuals aid the gameplay with very beautiful and colorful environments. Each shade of color gives you an idea of what the game is throwing at you. Green and Yellow are either calm or puzzle sections, Blue tells you enemies are upcoming, and anything in Red is something you'll need to get to or interact with.

And other than aiding the game, great visuals help immerse you into the gaming world and act as a bonus, allowing you to gawk at the environments as you play, upping the "satisfaction" factor. Do you really think Crysis would have been so successful had it not been so beautiful, or even Killzone 2? And how about Team Fortress 2's visual style? If it just looked like a regular game - lacking most if not all of its personality - do you think it would have been so successful?

Fact is, visuals play an incredibly important role in games. Not only to help it look great and therefore make you appreciate it even more, but also to define a game's personality and, sometimes in the case of games such as Mirror's Edge, act as guidelines as to how you play the game and approach each area. The next time you say graphics don't make a game good or define how a game is seen, be sure and step outside and have a look at what the majority of folks lean towards. If the gameplay is great but the graphics are terrible, chances are the game will flop. Likewise, if the graphics are great but the gameplay is terrible, chances are folks won't stay on it too long (Cryostasis, being a great example). Visuals are equally important as gameplay in today's age, and by now that point should have been painfully obvious to almost anyone.

heres some actual in game screen shot of mirrors edge maxed out at 1920x1200 8xAA

dude, you can get mirrors edge for $5 right now on steam. No need to pay 50.

Its £3.50 on steam im thinking about getting it my self.

While I enjoyed it, I admit that it's not worth $50. Very short story mode and some time trial courses. It's worth no more than 20 bucks in my opinion

I paid $50 for it and was happy. Box or no box it's on Steam right now for $5, at any rate that's a rentable copy to see if you wanna pay $50 for the boxed version.

Why on earth would anyone pay $50 for any game when it can be bought for only $5 on Steam right now? Weird. They are virtually giving it away.

I JUST bought it.. its 5$ on steam

and don't say:,,There's a great deal on steam...'' or anything like that because I will only get a box which costs 50$.

enjoy your $45 plastic box.

its $5 on steam lmao

Qixote

Heh, pretty much. Almost makes you sad enough to just want to gift the game to the guy. Maybe this is some form of psychological warfare to get us to do just that. :x

5 dollars on steam

Its a very very fun game with amazing graphics, but you can find it for MUCH MUCH cheaper.
