Is there any question that people will pick the lowest one?

notimetobeidle4495d ago

I'm thinking that will be the case but a more than a few people will vote the other way in order to support the studio.

On that note, perhaps people who don't like the game/developer/platform will vote for the higher price in order to lightly grief others.

... anything over 10 euro/12 dollars is too high for MOST downloadable games.

800MSP/7,99 euro is still a nice 'impulse-buy', but when it goes above that, so 1200MSP or 12,99 or whatever, it becomes a 'purchase', and one that has to compete with brilliant games I can pick up new and cheap from the bargainbin.

Now, I have no idea what price Amy should have, basically cause we don't know how good (or bad) it is yet.

If it's a masterpiece, then even 12 bucks is a bargain. If it's a mediocre title, then they'd be better off releasing it for less than 10 bucks. We don't know yet.

Given the choice, I would pick the lower one. If the price is changed to $9.99, it will delay the release by about a week though. Some people may vote for the higher price because of that.

Not everyone acts rationally.

Berserk4495d ago

I personally vote the realistic 10$

DarkBlood4495d ago

i hope its $10 but $12 is the max i'll go :P

ZombieAssassin4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

Depends on the length of the game, if it's less than 4 hours no more than $9.99...if it's longer I'd say $15.

I don't get why the Ps3 version is going to cost more though, kinda stupid if you ask me and if it ends up being the case when it does release I won't buy it.

arcsoft4495d ago

They tried to explain it in the press release but all I could gather from that is the higher price that the Europeans would have to pay for the same amount of MS Points.

Not quite sure why that would affect US PSN users, except for fairness in the developers' eyes. Using that logic, the price should be the same for everyone.

notimetobeidle4495d ago

I checked the results and it's closer than I would have thought.

41% (69 votes) to keep PSN Amy at $12.99
59% (100 votes) to drop PSN Amy to $10.00

I'm now genuinely interested in how this turns out.

yesmynameissumo4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

I just voted and it was:

39% to keep PSN Amy at $12.99
61% to drop PSN Amy to $10.00

They should be priced the same on PSN and XBLA, unless they want it to sell less on PSN. I wonder if PS+ has anything to do with it. With the $12.99 price, $9.99 for PS+ members seems possible.

ZombieAssassin4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

Anyone actually have a link to the vote or the actual FB page of the game, every time I click it all I go to is a poll creator on facebook.

EDIT: Thanks sir.

I've edited the news post so it should be correct now. Not sure what happened because I used it fine a moment ago.

turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.

LucasRuinedChildhood99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Haze is a bad game but Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty makes it seem like a captivating work of art. haha. Fuck that game

Shellshock 2: Blood Trails isn't on this list but it might be the worst game I've ever played. I got it as a present from my mam and when I saw the box, my life flashed before my eyes thinking of the Metacritic score: https://www.metacritic.com/...

I also received Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty as a present from another family member. Bless their hearts for trying but ... oh Lord. My uncle gave my Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time and MGS2 though. 😎

DarXyde99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Was it really that bad? I recall trying the demo and not liking it, but that's just me not liking FPS games.

People I know who played it and like FPS games mostly came to the conclusion that it has a lot of room for improvement, but it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

Don't know, my opinion on these games should be taken with a grain of salt.

mastershredder99d ago

Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).

What's kinda funny about this is, that I have a theory that all these electronics are what are causing autism. You think back to about a generation ago and autism wasn't that wide spread, or we just didn't diagnose it. I feel that since all electronics put out an emf field that it can have adverse affects on a developing brain. No data or anything for this, just a theory I have.

ravinash2469d ago

It's only been in the last generation or two where metal health has been a thing that can be documented.
A lot more studies are going into it so we're understanding it better.
In the old days, people would have lived their entire lives with things like autism and not even know it.
After all most people who have autism are on the extreme end of the spectrum, so it might not always be obvious.

meka26112469d ago

Yea that's a good point, we still have a very long way to go in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. It's just very hard to do that, but I totally agree with you.
