This week could have been so different if Too Human had actually been any good.

Nice to see the release schedule back in full swing, not much for me. Going to see how CC fares in the review stakes

I'll probably get Castle Crashers but I'll try out the trial first anyway.

1200 Points for CC? :x XBLA games should be 800 at most.

I was shocked by the stupid price for the Penny Arcade game, 1600? Way over priced.

That argument has already been smashed. It makes no sense.

I was just speaking to Dennis Dyack on another forum and he said he classed the game as shovelware.

:lol:

Seriously it's a dungeon crawler, I think people were expecting Mass effect or Devil May Cry, it's all about the loot and upgrades.

It might have been smashed for you, but it hasn't been 'smashed' for me. £10.20 for an Arcade game? That's too expensive for a game that only lasts a few hours (for me).

Castle Crashers might be the exception to that though as it has online co-op and RPG elements. Still, 1200 is too much.

According to this site it isn't.

I can't find the Q&A the guy mentions, but it's looking like the game isn't going to be region free.



BASTARDS! Is there any way to chip your Xbox360, is it worth it, and how much is it?

I'm not talking about specific examples, I'm talking about the idea that a downloadable game can't be worth more than any specific amount purely because its downloadable.

Its a laughable idea.

Anyway Lumines Live already proved that theres room for the 1200 MS point price point and I've no doubt that there will be a game at some point that is right for the 1600MSP price tag.

If there wasn't sure a thing as XBLA then Lumines Live on 360 would have been at least £30, same for Castle Crashers, quite how you can argue these games aren't worth £10 (actually £8), is beyond me.

I didn't say that. I said that an Arcade title is not worth more than £10. I'd quite happily spend more on bigger games. I bought and downloaded Half-Life 2, that's worth more than £10. The game content and longevity are important, if it's a £10 game that's 'samey' from start to finish and only lasts 2 hours then it's not worth it. If it's a £10 game and it's varied and lasts a lot longer then yes, it is worth it.

I've never found an Arcade game that lasts (me) more than a few hours. The price point (for me) is not justifiable.

Its a laughable idea.
Not at all, it makes perfect sense.

Anyway Lumines Live already proved that theres room for the 1200 MS point price point and I've no doubt that there will be a game at some point that is right for the 1600MSP price tag.
Ah yes Lumines, the game where you have to purchase more tracks to get a 'full game'. The price, after DLC, is a lot higher so that is a rubbish example.

There might be a game at some point that might be worth 1600 points. Might. At the moment there isn't.

If there wasn't sure a thing as XBLA then Lumines Live on 360 would have been at least £30, same for Castle Crashers, quite how you can argue these games aren't worth £10 (actually £8), is beyond me.
Lumines would have been a 'full game' if released as a disc, the current content would not justify a disc release.

I'm not arguing that they're not worth it for everyone, I'm saying that, in my opinion they're not worth it for me.

The Arcade doesn't actually mean anything you realise. There are plenty of XBLA games that last a whole hell of a lot longer than 2 hours (for you or anyone, its not a subjective thing).

Actually not. The content in the original 1200MS game did constitute a full game, the extras where just that, even though they were built in to the original game.

Oh and it already is a disc release with less content than is available on XBLA...so thats just plain wrong.

Not that I've played or that I'm prepared to pay for. I have 16 XBLA games, not of them has lasted more than 2, maybe 3 at most, hours.

Add to that, I don't get on with downloadable games that well; flOw, Lost Winds, My Life as a King, Audiosurf, the VC games... All barely played. I prefer disc based, bigger, deeper games. I bought and finished Braid which, while too expensive, was good enough for me to play through and finish. Castle Crashers may be the same, but the 1200MSP price puts me off.
Actually not. The content in the original 1200MS game did constitute a full game, the extras where just that, even though they were built in to the original game.
Then we'll have to agree to disagree, I don't think it's worth it.

I agree, that is wrong ;)

What are you talking about, there is already a disc release of Lumines and it doesn't have as much content as the XBLA game, thats just plain a fact.

Well that is incontrovertible proof then that there aren't any longer games and that it isn't possible for there to be longer games on XBLA.
