Who else pre-ordered...

Gandalf is also retired, retired military in fact, and he gets to do nothing but play games all day. The clans I am part of tend to kick ***.

Im just rarely interested in PvP play, even with dominions I rarely MP'd.

But as to the price, I have to admit that its too high for me to recommend the game. Even with Dominions2 I never recommended the game. I always STRONGLY recommended the demo. I was willing to swear to people that IF they could get thru the demo THEN the game would be long time worth their purchase. But until I see how Dom3 has improved its learning curve for new people, and how good the demo is, Im afraid Im being careful in "sales pitches" in the newsgroups.
It doesnt matter anyway.
We all know that hooked is hooked either way.

I'd buy the game at $1,000 without batting an eyelash. Hell, I'd pay $10,000 for it. I would think twice at $100,000 however. I guess every man has his price.

ioticus, if you seriously believe that, you... well everyone can come up with their own words.

BTW Gandalf, my clan beats your clan any day. [760]Clan, man. 760clan.com

beats yours. any day. of any week. of any month, on any planet in this solar system except pluto and jupiter. we... uhh... we just don't like pluto and jupiter much.

Yeah, and my daddy is stronger than yours

Anyway, Me and my roommate have both bought Dom 2, but I don't think he will buy Dom 3 that looks more like an update than a completely new game for so much money. I'll do it because I'm crazy, but this price tag will hurt the sales up to a degree where the increased cost won't compensate for the decrease in sold copies

Just because it looks the same doesn't mean the game won't be revolutionary to its predecessor.

You ever heard of the game Call of Duty? I was in one of the best clans in Europe, we were www.clanbase.com ladder leaders for 6 weeks, also we were second placed in the Eurocup, and won many national awards. Now I am playing Call of Duty 2., but I am not that active atm, because of school exams.

The only clans I put time in on are for MMOs such as Star Wars Galaxy, or City of Heroes, or Ultima Online. Places where there is more to go with clan support than just killing other clans. Like most ex-military I am willing to provide my expertise to defend a clan but I have no desire to live it full time online.

Gandalf Parker, are you dismissing FPSs as worthless games?

Money is relative depending on how much someone has available. Ioticus could be some multi-millionaire where $1000.oo is the same percentage of money as someone else who spends $25.00 at the movies with a date. Personally I wouldn't go beyond $70.oo... someone else mentioned spending as much as $100.oo. Each gamer interested in the Dominions_3 has a different percentage they are willing to spend. Personally I feel the game is overpriced by $10.oo in the current market.

Endoperez · #10 May 19th, 2006, 02:56 PM

I'm not sure how much I'd pay for the game. Much, maybe up to, say, 100€, I think. Maybe more.

However, I won't mind paying whatever Shrapnel asks for, because the money goes for more games. Illwinter isn't getting rich, and neither is Shrapnel Games. If I thought they asked for money just because they could, I'd be much more reserved about spending my money on their products. Although that is only Dominions for me...
