And it's not just video games. Babylon 5 aired once a week. We'd watch it, discuss it, get on the internet (IRC FTW) and discuss it more, conjecture about what happens next, compare with clues from previous weeks...When I was a kid, I'd get a game for Christmas and play it for 4 months straight. Now, I'll pick up 20 games on a steam sale, play half of them, never touch the other and fully complete one or two.
Yes, continue to push that button on yourwhen I watch Babylon 5, it's "Another episode! Now! Another! ANOTHER! ANOTHER! GREAT MAKER IT IS 3 AM"
And it came as 1/5th of the Orange Box. Short games for 10 bucks is great.Short but awesome game: Portal.
Cram a short game full of awesomeness, and it'll be an awesome game.
Right. Portal was great because it itself was awesome, but so was the value for the price. You wouldn't have been able to sell me portal for $30 bucks.And it came as 1/5th of the Orange Box. Short games for 10 bucks is great.
Ehhhhh 30 maybe. 20 yes. 50 definitely not. 60? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.Right. Portal was great because it itself was awesome, but so was the value for the price. You wouldn't have been able to sell me portal for $30 bucks.
The original portal, was a 2 or 3 hour game. Even 20 bucks is stretching for me. Portal 2 I could have seen paying 30 bucks for as it was more fleshed out and substantially longer. But again, I think I only have this mindset now largely because of Steam sales. The stuff I've picked up for 10 bucks or less makes me hesitant to pick up stuff that's in the $40+ range. That being said, if they developed a Mechwarrior 5 or a new kickass Warhammer 40,000K game, I'd probably drop $60 on it.Ehhhhh 30 maybe. 20 yes. 50 definitely not. 60? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, thats insanely stupid (and also not what anyone here is arguing, although people seem to think it is? Oh well). If you need more than 10 minutes to get me hooked I'm probably not going to play your game."Final Fantasy 13 gets good around 20-30 hours!" is exactly why I don't want needlessly long games.
Isn't Ground Zeroes the really short one that is a lead-in to the actual MGSV game? I'm a little concerned that when MGSV comes out, GZ will just come in the box with it (so to speak).Some companies -get it-

It's actually part 1 of 2 of the entire game. The point here though is that unlike some companies like EA, they're not only NOT charging full price for both games, but acknowledged that even half price per part is too much AND they acknowledge a difference in price between PHYSICAL and DIGITAL copies of a game.Isn't Ground Zeroes the really short one that is a lead-in to the actual MGSV game?

With Konami's step, we'll see if leads to a walk.Yeah, I know it's probably not going to happen but seriously, it's time to start pricing digital content lower than physical counterparts.
Doubtful. They are offering exclusive DLC for Phantom Pain with Ground Zeroes in order to spur purchases. Even if they did include it, you'd still have a reason to buy this version.Isn't Ground Zeroes the really short one that is a lead-in to the actual MGSV game?

Possibly one of the first times that phrase could be attributed to that company in the last 10 years without sarcasm.Some companies -get it-

Peace Walker is probably my favorite entry in the series after Snake Eater... probably because it continues the story of Snake Eater. I like how Kojima's response to Mobile Ops 1 and 2 is to basically say they are canon but don't matter all that much, in order to focus on the titles that he had a more active hand in. You can pick up Peace Walker without having played ether game and still make sense of the story... well, as much as one can make sense of the Metal Gear timeline.Possibly one of the first times that phrase could be attributed to that company in the last 10 years without sarcasm.
Heads up on people going into Ground Zeroes, apparently it takes a lot of what happened in Peace Walkers and continues it, so the game will make even less sense (bless you Kojima) if you haven't played that generally missed little gem.
My brother picked ToSC today. I'm so excited to replay it.See, now people have me questioning if I should cancel my South Park pre-order and pick up Tales of Symphonia Chronicles instead--two full-length JRPGs for $40.
