Vanquish, $49.95 on Amazon, buy?

I decided against a Cyber Monday deal for NFS: HP at Best Buy. Here is another deal: $49.95 for Vanquish. I don't care about online play for my games btw. Does anyone know the used price at GameStop? You tell me what the game is worth...

It's better if you wait for another price drop. Vanquish doesn't have enough content to satisfy me..

I hear Vanquish is only 6 hours long, so I would wait on a further price drop, like $20 or something.

Same here. It's supposed to be a really fun game, but as short as it is, $20 sounds about right.

I think Vanquish is worth the full price, and it's good to support good games rather than always going for the high profile games for a change.

The fun factor and replayablility of Vanquish totally makes it worth the buy, imo.TheMoreYouOwn

Fun factor? Hell yeah , it's one great game , but flaws like the above make it hard to enjoy after you beat.

I got a better deal on VanQuish. I rented it from Gamefly and I did the KEEP option for $30. That's what's great about Gamefly, you rent it and can choose to keep games for as cheap or cheaper than you can get them anywhere else.

VanQuish is a great game and people should support it so they'll make sequels. Maybe in the next one they would put in multi-player online. Now that would be fun.

If I had the extra cashish, I would do that for ya... Simply because I think we SHOULD do random acts of kindness around these forums to show each other we honestly do care for one another in the community...

... I've asked this before, myself.

:D

Tom McShea and some of the rest of the geeks who've touted this game as the Second Coming of Fun sort of disuade me a bit on "Vanquish"... I'm starting to dislike the title because of McShea's love - The guy makes my skin crawl lately with his platformer worship and his BS attitude. Justin Calvert uber-alles (his love for the game pushes back the darkness that is Tom McShea).

Seriously, next time McShea is on the Hotspot podcast, someone just lean over and belt him one in the lickin' hole, y'know, for the Common Good...

... but I also wanted to comment on the sentiment of supporting a studio or a dev who's done a good job (which, by all reviews, the makers of "Vanquish" have done) - We should always buy games from devs or genres we enjoy while the numbers make a difference. I'm the king of waiting out a price drop around here, to the point of being called "Cheap"... I prefer "Frugal", of course, but anyway... We should always show our love. It's the only way these guys and gals have a chance at doing something we like again, and they need the dollar vote ASAP in order to secure that position.

Not to go OT, but where was that copy of "James Bond Blood Stone" purchased for $19? I want that game and $20 sounds good to me... being the "Cheap" guy...

:lol:

Ive been wanting it for some time too. Im hoping that christmas will bring some price drops to the games that ive been wanting. im all for supporting good games, but times is hard on the boulevard. feel me.

Im with monkey...frugal gaming til that winning scratch-off lands in my mitts.

I've heard it's extremely short and the ending is pretty unsatisfactory so, I wouldn't buy it at this price, if I were you.pooyanh

It's not extremely short. It's a little short. I've been playing it for 8.5 hours and not finished yet.

I hear Vanquish is only 6 hours long, so I would wait on a further price drop, like $20 or something.

KamuiFei

It's quite a bit more than 6 hours. I've been playing for 8.5 hours and not finished.

i would wait.. i saw this game for $35 on amazon before. third party games normally go down $30-40 at about 3 months after release so expect this game to be around $30-35 by january if you can wait.Nexustras

[QUOTE="RoOodriGowW"]WHAT replayability?When you level select you lose ALL of your upgrades , how that stimulates anyone to play a level again? I mean, you can do for the hell of it but there's no sense of reward at ALL.

Replayability is not based on the length of the game alone. Some people go for the high scores, others go for trophies and what not. Vanquish is a game that's really easy to just pick up and play in small chunks. It's really accessible and I would almost liken it to an arcade game like say Time Crisis.
