I'm waiting it out too, I will buy Modnation Racers as soon as the promised Loading time patch is out... Played it a bit at Media Markt, loved it, replays of levels are luckily instant.

yea i was looking forward to mnr but when i played the demo i did not like the loading times and also you can create tracks but not race them only test drive. i know you would get you moneys worth with all the free content but i am not sure if is should pay full price for it.

You made the right choice. RDR is too good.

omg lol i live here in jordan (middle east) in a poor country where everything not jordanian or arabic is overpriced and there r no official shops that sell video games here and they sell it much cheaper than there! in a huge country thats rich lol

@ZEN

How is it not a choice, you will likely probably get many more hours of gaming on MODNATION RACER then red dead redemption.

I mean I don't see you complaining about mario kart wii being $50? Which you bought..

Modnation racers has the lengthy single player campaign (similar to what mario kart offers) and then a huge creation aspect of it.. were people can create infinite amount of levels that can be even better than the single player campaign, not to mention you can play with your friends online or off screen.

wow, some serious trolling from someone who just stated he never played a game.

Buying a game is based on choice. I never claim to understand why people would buy one game over another, since both games are quality titles. Like leo said... it comes down to "choice".

It's about the quality of the game, not the number of playable hours. As far as that goes, I could play pong indefinitely, but it sucks, so I won't.

Why I personally believe, it's not much of a choice(and this is just my opinion) is that MNR is 10 dollars more than Mario Kart, and 10 dollars more than RDR. I can't justify paying full price for a game, when there have been so many far better games coming out lately(judging by reviews, and the many complaints in this thread and others about the loading times) which cost significnatly less(RDR is almost 20 percent less). To top it all off, I DO own Mario Kart, AND Wipeout HD, what what would make me pay full price for MNR, just to have to wait for it to be patched, at a time when it's already in the bargin bin.

So, while I'm not SURE, I'd wager that another brand new game, RDR(which I'm playing right now for PS3 afterall) is significantly cheaper, and significantly better.

If you buy by genre, sure it's a choice, but if you buy by quality, then I have a hard time recommending any current game over RDR, much less one that requires a non-existant patch that you can only hope is coming soon.

My question is why would anyone pay full price on a game they need to wait on a patch for anyway?

GoW3, LBP, and UC2 were 57.99 on Amazon when they launched. Do you really believe you'll be getting a fair deal on MNR launching at 59.99? IMO it should be 29.99.

Wrong. Look up the definition of trolling. I believe the game is overpriced based upon a number of factors, including my own perception, my opinion, user opinion based off the demo, reviews, and the price of the game relative to the prices of other games releasing at the same time.

I don't need to live in a house to appraise it.

Anyway, the only way this would be trolling, is if I was pretending that I have played it. I've stuck to topic, I've given my opinion fairly and freely, and I've responded to my critics. I've been honest and open, and just because you don't like my opinion, you want to flame me for it.

Have you played MNR and RDR? You said they were both quality titles, I assume you've played them, because if you haven't, you're a biased hypocrite. You just called me a troll for giving my opinion on a title without haven't currently played it(which I stated very clearly right up front, and on multiple occasions), so if you haven't played them, what does that make you?

If you have, however, you are still wrong. I can give my opinions on not yet released games all I want, and everyone here does it in nearly every post they make. To top it all off, I'm not actually flaming the game, I'm just complaining that it costs too much for what it appears to be, relative to another recently released game, which is DIRECTLY relating to the OP, and the OP implies as much in the OP. There is nothing even remotely off topic about what I'm saying, and giving my opinion should be met with your opinion, not your subverted and biased attempts to silcence it.

MNR is not worth MY money.
But it happened to me the same that to others: RDR was not in my radar and now I am REALLY eager to play it.

the difference between you and me is... when I haven't played a title, I don't go and telling people how I think the game is overpriced or not worth the money.

That to me is more than "merely stating your personal opinion".
