Halo:ODST now $60... What do you think?

I can understand that 100%. By the way, I voted for your set up... your game room and PC set up is freaking ridiculous. lol.carljohnson3456

Let me rephrase that. They expanded the scope of the expansion turning it into a retail game.heretrix

All I can think of when I see this is how xbox fans say GT 5 Proluoge is a rip-off and they would not pay $40 for something that isn'ta complete game...indeed, they'd pay $60-$100 lol.

I seems now that xbox fans (upon hearing this recent news) think that this expasion-pack is somehow a steal for $60, karma is a *****

[QUOTE="General_X"]I think its amusing that lemmings are defending a game that is full price because of content that is copy/pasted from a game they already own and with the original content only being the size of an expansion pack. Its even funnier when one compares the price of ODST with the price of something like the Orange Box.General_X

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"]Mirror's Edge retailed for $60. Heavenly Sword retailed for $60. There are all kinds of games that dont warrant a $60 price tag but no one complains. I have a feeling if MS never called this game an "expansion" then no one would bat an eye at this price point.Stevo_the_gamer

I don't like it, but I"ll still buy it. On a side note, I think its kind of funny that cows don't call this Halo 2.5, when thats exactly what it is.beast667

dont you mean 3.5?

It all depends on if the campaign is still only 3-5 hours long. If that's still the case you're paying full price for an expansion.....boo hiss. However, if Bungie has stepped it up and truly fleshed out the campaign to Halo 3 length, it's worth it.Ibacai

They've already said the campaign would be similar in length to Halo 3's campaign, and on top of that you get every map pack available + new multiplayer modes.

$60 is worth it.

[QUOTE="General_X"][QUOTE="angelkimne"]Even if you don't include the disc with the Halo 3 mp, which is stupid, there's still the campaign, Halo: Reach mp beta, co-op and firefight on the other disc.angelkimne

[QUOTE="tylergamereview"][QUOTE="mitu123"] It has a new campaign, plays differently from Halo 3, and has new modes with Halo 3 maps, sounds worth it.mitu123

If people are still willing to buy just a 8 hour SP game for $60,then a 5-8 hour SP game with probably dozen and dozens of hours of MP fun they basically boycott it?.

Sad to see how many people are Hypocrites.

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="tylergamereview"] Well for one, the campaign is very short. The price was lower before because of that. Only 3-5 hours long was the estimate. Playing different from Halo 3 does not make it good. Playing differently doesn't automatically make anything good. Just look at Devil May Cry 2 for example. It played differently, and was awful. The new modes aren't going to justify 60 bucks either. It will be fun for a little while, but it won't keep you entertained long enough to make it worth it.tylergamereview

Even if Heavenly Sword was released amidst a plethora of lengthy titles,a boycott would be just as silly and unjustified.

[QUOTE="General_X"][QUOTE="beast667"] Yeah, and noone boycotted Heavenly Sword, that game was short, $60, and had no multiplayer.Tragic_Kingdom7

Even if Heavenly Sword was released amidst a plethora of lengthy titles,a boycott would be just as silly and unjustified.

It's a full new open world sandbox campaign, co-op horde-like mode, and every single Halo 3 map ever. $60 is a steal.

BioShockOwnz

I bet if it was a sony exclusive, you probably wouldn't agree

Dissapointed in the price but I'm confident that Bungie will deliver the goods.

[QUOTE="Tragic_Kingdom7"]

[QUOTE="General_X"]Because at the time PS3 owners were begging for games, and GOW 3 wasn't announced. Also I don't remember HS being a huge commercial success, correct me if I'm wrong.beast667

Agreed.

Meh, I've played Halo 3 so much that I would've paid double what I did for it. Bungie has yet to dissapoint me, and ODST looks like Bungie has really polished the Halo 3 engine, story telling, cutscenes, facial animations have majorly improved ect. ODST looks really, really good, so it will be worth the $60 to me.

I would like to be able to buy just the ODST campaign off the marketplace. I already have the maps packs up to this point.

I won't be buying this at full price.

I think its hypocritical to hate on ODST's pricing but be completely fine with MW2.

As long as the content is there to justify the price, I see now problem. And really people, boycott a video game? Buy it if you want it, leave it if it doesn't. If it is attracting your interest, its doing something right.

Unless they show more content for this game...from what Ive seen..this game doesnt warrant 60$.different interface.you dont jump high like chief,big,dark,uniteresting areas with nothing but brute attacks,halo 2 magnum pistol with halo1 style zoom,a silenced smg,horde mode,hitman contracts styled flashbacks,and the halo 1 health system.no...no I don't think I will buy this for 60$

For a 3 hour compaign and a few extra online maps? Lmao, no thanks.

Not being a huge fan of Halo I wasn't getting it anyway.

I don't know enough about it to make a final judgement, but it sounds like it's too expensive.

At least it wasn't rushed out.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]Let me rephrase that. They expanded the scope of the expansion turning it into a retail game.Vandalvideo

And there're retail games that have half as much content as ODST and they're still charged full retail price. Day 1 buy for me.

Who cares im still getting it & if u dont have a job start lookin cause $60 isn't that bad

That's a real bone headed decision by them. What's even more sad is that people will buy it.

seriously, how many hours are each of you going to put into this $60 game. If you're going to play the **** out of it, you have nothing at all to complain about.
