Might pick up Halo wars for $37

babadivad2569d ago

I can't get enough of this game. It's so fun.

Don't know music or games.

Deus Ex has got to be the fastest I have seen a game hit $10

Chaosdreams2569d ago

And what makes it worse is, the speed in which the game has fallen in terms of price makes me even less inclined to play the game. It tells me that they have zero confidence in what they developed, and that makes me skeptical on it even being worth the low price.

I love discounts, but I think the sweet spot is around $25-45.

optimus2569d ago

That makes no sense seeing as how this is an Amazon promotion. It has nothing to do with the developers or publishers of the game. I'm pretty sure the game is still at regular price everywhere else unless some retailers want to compete with the amazon sale....

I buy most of my games used or off of sales like this and 9 times out of 10 the quality of the game is not hurt by the discounted price.... Take metal gear the phantom pain for instance. You could find it for around $30 or less these days and it received a lot of 9's and 10's so I shouldn't pick it up because it dropped down in price?? No sense at all.

Bolts2569d ago

So this is too cheap for you? Feel free to pay retail elsewhere then.

Chaosdreams2569d ago

@optimus

Do not confuse my opinion with what you should do. I talked about how I, personally, become skeptical. While I confused in this case the promotion with the cost of the game itself, I have seen the game go on multiple sales. So, I, personally, take a step back (because it's not a game that compelled me in the first place to get it at full retail value). If it was something I was interested in and was waiting for a price drop on, sure - awesome.

So when I mentioned the sweet spot, I was referring to the balance between a good sale versus my perception of a games worth (towards games I'm on the fence towards). If it's selling for peanuts, is that because it sold so much that they are giving it away? Or is it an attempt to gain revenue no matter what - because the game is lacking? If the game itself has 9's and 10's across the board, then this perception of mine is replaced by the notion that I just am not interested.

But this doesn't apply to this topic since - again - I confused a promotion with the developers themselves lowering the game's overall cost.

@Bolts

If a game is selling at an incredibly low price. Yes, that is cheap. Nor is their logic in me paying more for a product when I can get it for less someplace else (So - i'll pay for retail where it makes sense). I never stated I wouldn't purchase the game. I stated I'd be skeptical do to its incredibly low price, in comparison to everything else on the market.

FunkMacNasty2569d ago

Trust me, Deus Ex Manikinded Divided wasn't as amazing as its predecessor, Human Revolution, but for $10 bucks it's absolutely a steal. Definitely a quality game, with much improved gameplay and control layout for consoles, and the story was great. If you are a Deus Ex fan, don't pass it up

Is actually give that dishonorable mention to Mirror's Edge Catalyst

LAWSON722568d ago

Ah I forgot about that one. I think Deus Ex is winning but it was a close race

Titanfall 2 Is Still The Smartest FPS Of The Last Decade

The best shooter campaign since Half-Life 2 still hasn't been topped eight years later.

I agree with this. The time travel mechanics. The sense of scale. The relationship with your mech. The bosses all had personalities. It's a wonderful game.

mastershredder8d ago

Yeah it was good, but it only did the time travel bit in one level. Dishonered 2 did the same thing. Now how about a game where it's implemented throughout the gameplay? Singularity says Hello (and deserves so much more recognition).

Yoko Taro Passes Respect; Says Stellar Blade Is "Much Better" Than Nier: Automata

Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.

shadowhaxor31d ago

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake31d ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor30d ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

Cacabunga30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

isarai30d ago

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

fsfsxii27d ago

Its not a souls like, its a dmc-ish game with rpg elements. Any game with a third person camera and a sword is souls like to these buffoons

H930d ago

Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank

Snookies1230d ago

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

exputers30d ago

Whoops. Sorry to startle you.

H929d ago

It's alright brother, maybe I am just slow

Hereandthere30d ago

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.

purple10130d ago

They sent in XDEV one of their traveling support studios to Korea to lend a hand if I’m not mistaken, Sony pulled out the big guns to help this studio

jwillj2k430d ago

(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.
