XBLA's Limbo is this wensday who's excited? 56k no

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="Game-fu"]I disagree. I don't hold a game to lower standards just because its a downloadable title. Besides, what about downloading a game makes it inherently inferior to one that comes on a disc? Steam says hello by the way. So does Torchlight and Diablo 2 and just about every other 'loot game' on the market that is longer and has much more replay value than DeathSpank.Game-fu

I paid $5 for Torchlight.

[QUOTE="IronBass"] :question: DeathSpank is aroung 7-8 hours long (finishing every side mission, which is what you're supposed to do in this kind of loot-games), which is damn good for a DL game.toast_burner

[QUOTE="IronBass"] $15 games are not meant to be as long as full retail games.Animal-Mother

I paid $5 for Torchlight.

And? If you want to go tit-for-tat, the full retail price is only $5 more than DeathSpank and its roughly 3x the length and has far more replay value.

And i'm saying your 'general condition' is wrong; 7-8 hours for a 'loot game' as you call it is not pretty good. Especially when there is absolutely no replay value.

Asa sucker for XBLA games I'll def pick it up down the line. Got ashort list of other arcade games I haven't gotten around to yet as it is.

I would say its anything but 'perfectly reasonable' when there are similar games with more content and overall value. Games like Castle Crashers and Shadow Complex are far more generous at the same price-point. I was never saying that DeathSpank isn't a good game; its on the merits of entertainment and quality that DeathSpank isworth $15. However, quantity is not DeathSpank's strongest attribute nor would i label it as a selling-point.

So it's $10 for a 3 hour game? I think that's fair. Movie tickets are $10 where I am and they're shorter.

Still don't know if I want to buy it. I like the style and atmosphere but that's not enough if the game is no fun. I'll try the demo first.

Actually, there are many. You just need to realize that games don't necessarily have to end when the single-player campaign is over.

And those games are?

Just in case, replayability does not equal length.

I'm pretty sure thats exactly what replayability means. Just because you adhere to your own personal definition of the word doesn't mean the rest of us have to ignore the correct one.

And i'm pretty sure because an XBOX 360 game is 9 inches long that thats not the length of the game you were referring to either. Please...

If it takes 1 minute to swim one lap and you swim around 3 times, how long were you swimming for?toast_burner

but you go swimming because you enjoy swimming, not because you want to see how big the pool is. Vinegar_Strokes

Actually, there is a pretty significant difference between temporal and spacial duration. Except you obviously don't realize the difference which is what i was pointing out. The size of a pool is hardly relevant to how many times you can use it and/or derive enjoyment from it. You fail to see the most basic fundamental flaw of your argument which is hinging the entire length of a game upon one aspect of it.
