Re: Toribash 2.0 Pre Order
My my, there sure has been a little war going on in this topic, huh?
Sure, I have the money to buy this game, but honestly I think it's too expensive for it's gameplay value. That is my opinion. I doubt that Toribash is really going to change much, and then I don't mean graphics or anything. After all, graphics don't make a good game.
If we look at the version numbers, we now have the free v1.99. In a while, v2.00 will be released. Version number wise, it looks like a small update, however, now you will pay a full commercial price.
Going from $0.00 to $24.95 is a BIG step! I'm not going to buy it, but that doesn't mean I want Toribash to die on it's ass! Basically, Toribash is being released as a full-price commercial game. But what about those other commercial games, made by popular developers, published by popular publishers, that practically cost the same, or less? Yes, in comparison with those games, Toribash is not very popular outside the board and the game is far from complete and won't offer a very good gameplay value for the money.
That is my opinion.
In my opinion, it isn't a wise step to price the game that high right now. Sure, there will be people who will buy it, mainly the fans here on this board and some people from outside who discovered Toribash... somehow. I'd say, start small and grow. Eventually you might be able to sell it for $24.95, but not now. The 'Lifetime updates for free' thing will stand in the way for this, but really, just think about it.
There will be people who will disagree with me, but I really don't care, actually. It's just my opinion.
