Forums - PC - Crysis Warhead will retail at 30$ !!!! Bargain of the Year!!!!!

At $30 for a new release, EA is literally GIVING this game away.

Between the super low price and the lowered system requirements, theoretically, it should sell much faster than Crysis.

 

It's the same location, so the only development needed, is the campaign, and whatever optimizations they were putting in the engine anyway.

 

As for your above comment, there is a big difference between wanting to build a PC, and not being able to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with paying for convenience (I do it every day), so if you want to buy a pre-build, please do.

But don't then say it's a required expense.

PC games are much cheaper.

Devil May Cry 4 just got released yesterday on PC, for only 40$ !!!!! And it's not a cheap port either - it's the true version of DMC4 and even has 2 extra modes and fully optimized.

It's not much different than the gear head that builds up an engine and uses it to power a 10 second straight line car as opposed to the guy who "wastes" his money on a European exotic instead.

 

Was this a random comment, or a personal attack (I own a European exotic)? Just curious if you are an alt/lurker, or just got lucky :p

frankly, the time spent learning so JUST to save a few bucks is the perfect definition of "opportunity cost"

Learning how computers work, how to build one, and saving HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of dollars over the long term is time much better spent than whining on a gaming board.

 

Interesting part is that I started like that, just putting my own machine, now I build machines for friends and family for some $$$, so after just learning the basics I can save more than a few bucks and make some profit from it...

is it a standalone expansion?

full game, and probably way better than Crysis.

ok, thanks.

I read that it was a full game... But I didn't know if they meant  an expansion that was as big as a full game or what. great value anyway.

it IS a full game, not an expansion.

 



Let me do another copy-paste comparing PC to 360 prices, because some people think it's worth it to argue about something they don't know about.

PC:
-- $800 PC (that's how much mine cost including a 22" widescreen monitor), it plays COD4 on max settings, Crysis with medium to high settings, TF2 fully maxed, etc.
-- Free internet usage and gaming.
-- Games typically start at $50.

Run that for 2 years, with, let's say, a $100 upgrade for something along the line, a hard drive, video card, whatever. I just bought a Radeon 3850 for $90, and that's pretty much my only upgrading in a while. Let's say you buy 12 games a year, once a month.

Add that up, that's $2100 in 2 years.

360:

--$350 console, no TV, you can factor that price separately if you wish, though to be fair we should throw in the same $170 monitor I factored into the PC deal.
--$50 a year for Xbox Live, right?
--Games typically start at $60.

Add that up, it's $1890 for 2 years, without the monitor. Throw in the monitor, or similarly priced TV, that's $2060. Throw in another controller, because who the hell owns a console with only one controller? You're now up to $2100, or $2180 if you buy 2 more controllers.

I was a little modest with both systems. You can overspend on a PC, get things you don't need, just as you can do with a console. You can buy used games on a console, but PC games drop in price REALLY fast so they're pretty much equal there.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
