The Square-Enix merger is like taking the two hottest women on the planet and melding them together to hopefully create some kind of uber woman, only for that woman to come out of the crazy machine responsible for this hypothetical scenario looking like Susan Boyle.

They could charge 500$ for thier games. They still make the BEST games. Blizzard is fine. Once i see a new SC game coming 3 times in 3 years. *once per year*. then i will agree.

Since when does SC2 cost 3 times more then a normal game?!

http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_II:_Legacy_of_the_Void

 

Regardless, those sites say that the second two thirds of the game will be charged as expansion packs, not as full games (which was the official policy last I heard). So it will likely end up being approximately double the price of a normal game.

 

By the way, I fully agree that Blizzard make good games (even if I personally don't enjoy SCII) That's why it saddens me that they are raising prices. If a company I didn't care about did the same, I wouldn't even notice/care.

Square Enix

How could they join such a lame company as Enix?
All of their most amazing games ever were Square only.

Don't say such ignorant things when you've never played Terranigma.


Don't forget Soul Blazer, Actraiser 1, Illusion of Time(Gaia), Dragon Quest



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Square-Enix solely because after the merger Final Fantasy was never the same again.

I forgot about this one. I use to play their RTS all day long. I agree with you on this one. Command an Conquer and Red Arlet 1 where so good.
