So how much money has to be spent on a game to justify a 50 dollar price tag? That's a ridiculous benchmark, and I somehow doubt that it was a cheap throw together game. What aspect of it seems cheap to you? It can't be the graphics, they are some of the best on the wii actually making use of it's hardware, can't be the sountrack that is proffesionally produced and completely dynamic, can't be the production values, it's chock full of FMV scenes, voice overs, ect, can't be the game design it has nine very large levels, with numerous challenges and medals to earn along with numerous smaller single challenge levels, what exactly about it screams "cheap" to you?'

Would you consider these games to go for 50 dollars and it be reasonable?

Aj_habfan just like to troll wii games, you should see his comments on game pages, he likes to go around calling wii games "gay"
i reported him but he never got banned

I was talking about the covers, I even said that. And it was for only two games, two of the "All-Play" games.

As for the game, I can see what you saying about it. I read a couple of reviews, and it seems good, but I am still not convinced the budget was that high at all. But I suppose there are much worse games going for just as much out there, so it probably deserves the full price.

 

 

 

High budget != quality. If somebody can throw together something on the cheap and still have it be fucking awesome then why shouldn't they charge as much as something that cost a lot and isn't nearly as awesome?

You guys have to buy De Blob. Just look at these starving Austrians:

Quite simply, seems like simple gameplay in rather repetitive levels. That was the vibe I got from some of the reviews I read, which is what I am basing this off of.

So you're basing this on a vibe, not the actual game, just a vibe. You admit you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're just making crap up based on a vibe. The defense rests your honor.

Lol, maybe "vibe" wasn't the right word, but I generally read the mid reviews of each game to get the best idea and they said like:

 

GameZone: "The weakest part of de Blob is the lack of variety and challenge in the levels"

1UP: "If de Blob were slightly more charming and slightly less repetitive, this review would write itself."

Gamespot: "Too few challenge types that repeat too often"

 

They sure rave about the visuals, presentation and sound though, I was really underestimating that.

So do you think Assassin's creed should've debuted at 20 dollars?
