Really crap pricing on these, they've obviously been whacked way up over what they would have sold for to account for the "discount" that people will be getting for buying a few or with PS+.

Rogue Legacy at $17 is a joke.

At least one of these will probably be a PS+ freebie in the future, so I'm holding off. Almost every single PS+ free game this month was something I had already purchased.

And yeah that price for Rogue Legacy is ridic.

definitely preordering Rogue Legacy...

Maybe Counterspy? Don't know. 2D stealth set during an alternate cold war. Sounds fun but is there any buzz?

Holy shit, why are the first two so expensive? Got Rouge Legacy for less than 10 around launch and the Swapper has been bundled extensively at this point. Obviously this is on the PC but that's such a massive price difference.

Why? Game is awesome and well worth that price. I put in nearly 30 hours on PC and will be glad to do it again on Vita.

It seems like the era of pricing parity with PC and having cross-buy is at an end. That being said, Rogue Legacy is still a steal for the amount of game you get. The Swapper is pretty expensive, though, unless they added some stuff to improve the replay value.

Rogue Legacy at $16.99?! Jeeeeezus, I would have double dipped but not at that price. If you've not played it before it's worth that but...not again

You're getting one version of the game on three consoles.

It's the same game as released for $15 on PC, which has since been as low as $3.74.

$17 is ridiculous. If it's worth it to you, by all means pay it, but don't think for a second they're not taking the piss.

What king of game is Hohokum?
Click to expand...

I don't think anyone has managed to find a way to describe what it is exactly. But I know one of the Game Informer editors said it kinda reminded him of the original Zelda. Not in terms of actual gameplay, but in terms of the sense of discovery due to not being told what to do. You're just dropped in a big world and you just start trying to put pieces together.

A two dollar increase over the original PC release is ridiculous?

Considering it's crossbuy across 3 systems, I think the prices are fair. Plus preorder/multiple purchase discounts are cool.

ugh... Why do they do this. I want all 4. But they are sandwiched between TLOU and Destiny.... I am sure I will be knee deep in TLOU until Destiny comes out. I am probably most interesting in Hohokum just because the art style and passive nature of the game. It jumped high on the list for me after listening to the latest playstation blogcast. The soundtrack sounds fantastic too. I may just get that for now.

Most cross play games don't get those kind of price jack ups though. It's just weird that both are launching at higher prices than on the PC months after launch when both can be had for pennies at this point on the platform.

I have bought all the games in a play sale for the discounts before. However this is the first time I've actually wanted all of the games in the play sale.

Any increase at all over the price of the year-old PC game port is ridiculous, yes. There's no extra content. It's just a port. That extra money is for nothing.

It's three versions of the game. The developer sets the price, and I think that's fair.

eh, I don't really have the data on that to argue either way, I think these are fine prices for all these games though.
