you'd have to make Golden Axe free AND reward Microsoft Points for playing it to get me to go near it.camineet said:I never played the original on Saturn, but I am EXTREMELY tempted to pay the insane price for this. Gonna try the trail first to see if I really want it. I already bought Golden Axe, Super Contra, SSF2T:HDR and R-Type Dimensions 2 weeks ago, the day and day after I got my 360.
joking aside, I too couldn't resist both R-Type Dimensions and Death Tank despite their 1200 point price tags. I beat the Dimensions demo and immediately purchased the full game. hell, I would have probably bought that one even without the redone graphics or cool filters. no buyers remorse on Death Tank (loved the demo), and I've only played random FFA games with pub leavers. once I get some GAFers to play with the game will be bliss.
I guess my point is that if the gameplay is well-refined and a compelling enough package is offered, a slight price markup is easy to ignore. Death Tank is full of intense moments and has a nice big skill ceiling, and those things more than anything will keep me coming back to a game. multiplayer with 7 other people sure doesn't hurt either. I had never even heard of the series before this was announced for XBLA.
