Do games like GOW3 deserve full price or not ??

i am of course talking about other game in the same genre like Bayonetta, NG, DMC ...etc

do these dereve to be fully priced ???? yes or no.

answer: BIG fat YES

reason:

Coz they are more fun than any other genre imo.

Despite being single play games, they have great replay value, especially when the combat is good enough like in NG.

Those who complain of low replayiblity can just watch some walkthrough on youtube, and stop complaining.

surprised that you were the one to write this.

I'll pitch in that I'd never pay $60 for the games listed. does it need to be set at $60? yeah, to pay for development costs.

Fun is too subjective to justify a price tag. biggest_loser

I do know there is a creeping mentality that is spreading, and that is that if a game doesn't have ONLINE MP, it's not worth owning.

It's interesting, and it's not just SW, it's people in our everyday life.

I don't think GOW 3 is worth 60$. No, not because of no multiplayer, it is because 8 hours is simply not a lot.

Well I'm not going to pay 60 dollars for them.

Replay value doesn't have to be multiplayer.

worth is subjective.

To me it is not worth full price, i know i only will play through this game one time then never touch it. (did so with the first 2 games)

then wut ???? unlockables, trophies, harder difficulties ?????????????????

If you think it's worth the full price, go for it.siLVURcross

i already have Bayonetta and NGS2, my next game to get is GOW3.

Yes. I dont think a games length should be judged by one playthrough of the SP. MP rarely extends a games length for me more than the SP anyway.

I believe that is pirate mentality. I'm sure I have heard some say things like that.

I wouldn't spend full price on God of War. $60 for an 8 hour game with no replay value isn't worth it to me especially since I'm not an achievement whore.

I usually wait for games like that to go down in price before spending money on them.

I rarely pay $60 for games anymore. Unless I've been planning on buying the game day one, I usually don't spring for full price.I bought God of War III new for $30 through trade in at Gamestop and I'd say I got a steal. The game oozes quality and attention to detail. I bought Ninja Gaiden 2 for Xbox 360 for $10 at Best Buy andwhile I think the combat is great and so was the price; if I had to pay $60 for either God of War III or Ninja Gaiden, it would be God of War III in a heart beat. Some games just feel like they deserve the full price tag of $60 and some don't, no matter the genre.

Of course they are.

wait a second... so a game you can beat in 8 to 10 hours is worth 60 dollars? That's complete rubbish. It's not worth anything close to 60 dollars, and neither is 90% of the games released these days. Hell, I think SSF4 is worth 60 dollars and I got it for under 40. But paying a full 60 dollar price tag on a game that you can't get squat back for, and will eventually drop to half the price is silly (unless you have that kind of money to drop on video games, OR if are really into the series than it's completely understandable). But I live alone and am lucky to have an icebox filled with groceries let alone a brand spankin' new PS3 game.

I spent $35 on L4D2 (PC master race steam sales) for one important reason. Online multiplayer.

I've put in 125 hours on L4D2, and as PC master race I also get the benefit of mods.

Hack n Slash games don't really have online, or multiplayer for that matter. It's one playthrough, and maybe a second if you want to try a higher difficulty.

I guess they do,however,I wouldn´t pay that much for it.

It´s a good game for me to get when it goes to the bargain bin.

Seriously, I don't know WTF people did last gen when there was hardly any game with MP and games were $50

Probably the same they did when games had lives and continues or passwords or cheap design with cheap deaths.

Should have put a poll, but anyways, yeah I paid $60 for GOW3 and dont regret it. It depends on how good the game is not the genre.

I haven't played GoW3 yet besides the demo but Bayonetta was worth th $60 bucks. DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 not so much (not that they were bad games just not worth the $60 bucks).

No I don't think so. While GOW is one of my favourite games this gen, when you beat it and a few days pass and you realise.. damn I'm never going to touch that again. Then you really begin to regret actually purchasing it instead of renting. Imo games need some sort of replayability, hell even batman had some fun collectibles. If you don't got MP, please have a decent length SP (12-15 hours) with some nice replayability! That's all I'm asking

Yep, but those people will miss good SP games when they are gone.

hell no, these games should be lowers. gow3, beat it in like 3 days... and then nothing,, i would of beat it in 2 days but only played it like for an hour on day 2.. these games, single player games anyways that are shorter then 10 hours should be in the 40 dollar range. hell all games should be 40 bones, 60's way to much for a video game, srcatch that some games in canada are 70

Definitely, Games like that are amazing and deserve full price.
Also Considering GoW3 will have Add-on Content. ;)

The campaign length is just a number. It might be part of what determines a game's "worth" for a particular person, it might not. The same goes for any other statistic you could pull from a game: the number of levels, the number of bosses, the number of game modes, the number of maps, the numbers of players in a match, etc.

No.

A single player campaign first time through in an action/adventure/platformer, should be somewhere around 20 hours. I have no problem paying full price for a game that clocks over 20 hours and is a solid single player experience. I love a good campaign more than a multiplayer outing.

But I can't justify these games I can beat in 2 or 3 days if that. I'm a big fan of the God of War franchise, but it's still a steep price.

For those people complaining about the price tag, i'm assuming that you pay less when you watch a 90 min movie and pay more when you watch a 3hr movie, right? same case with music CD's :roll:

If you think that the game is worth the 60$ you should get it, no matter what, personally, i payed a full price for Bayonetta, and i haven't regret it at all, on the other hand, i didn't pay a Full price for Saint's Row 2 and while i really like that game, i wouldn't had bought it at full price.

These arguments in general are the beautiful in betweens that cant be attacked because they do not take a full stance one way or another. Nothing can ever be based off of a "particular person". It is flat out impossible because said particular person can decide, choose, believe absolutely anything. This goes for any statistic you pull from anything. If you want to find a particular person to disagree with you, you can.

Games like GOW3 are worth every penny, it has tons of replay value.djsifer01

Yes. I spent over 20 hours with GOW3 and 36 hours with bayonetta. and i am rebuying Bayonetta on 360 because it is that good.

i made 100 threads about this with 100% of SW behind me. i speak for every one when i say....single player only games should only cost 35$. saying that gow3 has reply value is laughable. halo reach is the meaning of reply value. i bet most of you cows dont even touch ur gow3 and heavy rain games.

yea they deserve full price but i wont pay full price for them

OK, so i assume that Lemmings are complaining about ME being $60 right?

15 hours of content makes the 60$ price tag seem a little bit hefty. If there isn't any MP, there's no reason why they can't make the SP a 40 hour affair.
