Why is this game so expensive? | Forums

Well another late night and I find myself back on these forums.

But anyway, my point when creating this thread was not to complain, but I was wondering why make the debut on Live the higher class expensive, making it less appealing to some people. Even some of the the possible consumers have been turned off by the "Only friends can share maps" thing, which I have not looekd into much myself.

Coffeemakes: Are you in industry yourself or just active player??

New to it, working late nights, like tonight. This past June was only the 2nd expo I had been to.

It might have been considered expensive if it was priced at 50 € - but this price is far more than acceptable
The only downside is that it's not on the PC yet... But I'm a patient person.

Well this game is termed as a "100% Exclusive" while the other summer of arcade titles have Exclusive time frames, 12 months, 2 weeks, and etc.

you can interpret it anyway you'd like, but 100% and exclusive can mean anything, just look at Final Fantasy XIV.

Oh and congratulations on the 9 out of 10 from Eurogamer.

Considering the fact that I bought Resident Evil 5 for $60, beat it and never played it again, I think paying $15(the points are already on my xbox) for a game that I will no doubt be playing for years is probably the best bargain I'm ever gonna find. The fact that there will eventually be some DLC tracks is also a major bonus.

Dont buy TMNT. I bought it, and I played it twice and already sick of it. Blergh.

Bad bad bad remake.

All of my friends that have tried the demo have either bought the full game or are planning to as soon as they can afford it. 1200 is a very fair price for such a quality game an is far more value for money than 90% of the trash that get released on XBLA. You can QQ all you like, im going back to play some more.

the price would certainly be no issue if the sharing was better

Personally i have no complaints yet Great game, well worth the 1200points! Well done RedLynx devs!

I mean I didn't even know what 'Splosion Man was the day ti came out, and I got it for the good price and since it was touted on the the dashboard.

I was not planning on getting any other of the Summer of Arcade titles because the prices sounded ludicrously ridiculous. And now that Turtles is down to 800, I'm actually thinking about going and getting some points to buy it.

So I saw one review that said Turtles in Time can be beaten in as little as 30 minutes (depending on skill)...I've spent more than that on the demo of Trials HD.

Divide the price by hours of enjoyment... what do you get compared to lets say a 2 hour movie...

This game is by far the best game on xbox live, people complaining about a mere 1200 points are a joke in my eyes,

The funniest thing I see is most of the people who are complaining about the price are the same people who buy all that stupid Avatar stuff WTF?! You'll buy a $4 light saber for your avatar but $15 for an everlasting game is just not gonna happen.
