| KBG29 said: All of this crap about GT5P being a rip off is getting rediculous. I am now seeing people saying that they deserve to get the full game for 20 dollars if they are to pay 40 for Prologe. So explain to me why anyone should get a brake on the full version of GT5, and why GT5P is not a good deal. Many say that it is rediculous that they have to buy Prologe this year and then in a years time they have to pay again for the full thing. So why is that a problem? How come people are willing to pay 60 for a sports game every year with nothing but roster updates most of the time, yet GT5P with GT5 full coming a year later with tons new tracks and hundreds of more cars plus new modes is a rip off. If you can anwser those questions for me in a logical fashion I would appreciate it. |
I can answer this question, at least. Most people don't buy the latest Madden every year for precisely that reason; it just isn't much of an upgrade. People typically upgrade sports games every 2-3 years, when a significant number of new features have been added to the game instead of just the most recent roster.
Honestly, 40 bucks for Prologue by itself is not a bad deal. But it is a shame that you don't get anything off the price of the full game for having bought Prologue. Essentially, once you own GT5, your copy of GT5P becomes completely worthless because the entirety of its contents are contained in GT5. It's not like other game sequels where the original actually has its own missions or whatever.
I would be much more inclined to buy Prologue if they gave you even $20 off the price of the full game (so you'd pay $40 for Prologue and $40 for GT5). I think that's fair, you pay a little extra to get to play the game early, they make a little extra money. Because 100% of the assets they are creating for GT5P will be in GT5, the development cost for Prologue is basically zero, so all revenue above the packaging and distribution costs is pure profit.
