Why do people say ODST is not worth 60$?

Some visual novels that aren't too low budget have around 50+ hours for one playthrough, to go through all the routes takes 200+ or more hours if you don't skip through it.Yandere

Because it isn't?

It really is supposed to be an expansion, Bungie even said so, and it was also suppoed to be less than $60, I'm still getting it (mostly to try out firefight and the new play style), but I wish it wasn't $60. If I liked Halo 3 more I might have been more enthusiastic, but Halo 3 kind of disappointed me compared to Halo 2 and 1.

Yes, they never reached popularity outside Japan (so far).

A normal length campain? For recent FPSes maybe, but anything that is under 25-30 hours isn't worth 60 bucks.

Soo True, we've seen it before. Moving on.

it started out as an xpac and should be price accordingly

as a person who owns all of the DLC maps, i really dont see paying 60 dollars for 3 new maps

Because it's Halo, and therefore should be bashed by the uninformed, and ignorant masses

I had to fix this.

Has anyone ever complained about a new game with a 60$ price tag? No. Why do people complain about this one? Because it was supposed to be a 40$ expansion, but turned into a 60$ full game. If no one knew it was supposed to be a 40$ expansion, no one would give a ****Desmonic

Because this is System Wars. Fanboys will say anything about a game they hate.

There's no matchmaking in Firefight, it's pretty pathetic how they're charging $60. But I have it pre-ordered for 30GBP, cheap for a brand new game in the UK.

I actually remember 360 fans dismissing Heavenly Sword because of its short gameplay. Thought it was a rent for the money you had to pay. In fact, this was during the time they used to say "Teh Ps3 Haz n0 gAm3s". What goes around comes around.

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] Amazon.co.uk? I so love that site.Floppy_Jim

You don't know how long the campaign is. And it's not worth $60 because most, if not all PC expansions are around $30-40 and have more content than most console games.aaronmullan

Because cows think all it is is an expansion. New characters, new 8 hour campaign, new multiplayer maps, firefight, new story, same old halo 3 multiplayer... ftw.

Is any FPS worth $60?

It's Halo 3: ODST, it says expanison in the title. 3 new maps for Halo 3 MP, a surivial mode (a la L4D), and a campaign. GTA4: Episodes of Liberty City is $40 and has twice the content. L4D2 feels like an expansion because it comes out soon but it's bigger than the first in everyway. Unlike ODST, which plays off of Halo 3.

It shouldn't be $60 IMO, but I'm buying it because I play Halo a lot (and I want recon & Reach Beta ... hmm I don't think I'd care without those 2 things)

because its a rehash of a sequel to a mediocre fps.

i like the halo theme song, but thats about it

Well that's what they first said when theyannounced it as an expansion that"they couldn't see themselves charging full price for." However,since then they added so much to it that it doesn't seem like to far of a stretch to think that maybe they added more content to the single player as well. I don't know either way for certain, Could anyone post a up-to-date link of everything that Halo: ODST is offering, including single player length?

Its just another way to bash the game. Ppl hate it because its popular.

In terms of multiplayer this is basically a 60$ map pack.

Many people play Halo 90% of the time for the multiplayer. This one doesn't have a new multiplayer.II-FBIsniper-II

If you can't get it for $60, just get the game used at a lower price. Problem solved. Geez.

If ODST isn't worth $60 then so aren't most games released this generation. It's as simple as that. They should have never called this an expansion, we wouldn't be having this argument right now.

ODST is a full game now and didnt Cows pay $40 for a demo.

This exactly.

This exactly.

There is no way to tell if they added more to the game from the original price tag of $40. All we can do is wait and see.
