Re: Dominions II - Low Budget and Overpriced? I think not.
Campy,
Has any game you ever played been worth more than you paid for it? Say for example a game that you couldn't stop playing, or that gave you more fun than you ever thought it would?
A game is only worth what you price your enjoyment at. Gambling is a Version of this and gambling to some costs more than you'd ever want to imagine. Yet people have fun doing it.
This game is more than worth it's $50.00 pricetag. If you are the type of player who is intrigued (or let alone even made it to this forum from any other review/guide/internet gossip ) then you should take it for what it is and not what others opinions of it might be.
The genre that this game is apart of is generally bargin bin. The reason is not because they are all lackluster, unimaginative, lowbrow, unfriendly or bad graphically. But because this entire genre does not appeal to the greater market. Those who play and enjoy these types of game are *accustomed* to paying less for them because of that reason. I don't feel any developer should get less money in order to meet a storefront or company chain's profit margin. The same type of people who are accustomed to paying $10.00 for a fun TBS game are accustomed to paying $200.00+ for minitature armies, outlandish amounts of money for historically accurate armors and helms, wads of money for Collectable Card games, and so on. It's a matter of perspective and becoming comfortable, not about what the game is worth.
If you are interested, liked the Demo, enjoyed what it had to offered and want more, you'll get your money's worth.
