You can't complain that this game is costly

C'mon man, you know that indie developers have different businness models than the big companies ^^

And about free games, oh c'mon. ^^ Even if a free game gives you 1 out of a scale of maximum 10000 of fun factor, of course it's great compared to anything that costs money, becauses you didn't spend a penny for that. ^^ To me Dom3 is great value for money. I liked Age of Wonders very much, but there is no comparison with Dom3 to me

I don't care if they're indie developers or giant megacorps pumping out the latest in a series. It has absolutely no bearing on the value for money.

Is Dom3 20 or so times better than AoW? Because I've seen AoW for two quid down a local market. For me, no. Of course that isn't a sensible way of deciding what to buy, because you have limited time and you want to spend that time having as much fun as possible. So a game that's only slightly better than another but costs hugely more could be a much better buy for you.

But in the case of dom3 I feel there are plenty better, cheaper games. These I would advise people on a budget to buy before Dom3. In fact I would never EVER advise someone looking for real value for money to buy dom3. It's just too expensive.

-shrug- Sorry if you don't like what you're hearing. I believe this thread was made for people to express their opinions.

I agree to a point. I wouldn't tell anyone to buy Dominions 3 unless they really enjoyed the game, but I expect that at that point they probably would have decided to buy it any way. If they were wary of the price, I'd tell them to wait for a holiday sale.

I'm not sure I would recommend Dom3 to someone who was uncertain after trying the demo.

If you play Nethack, Adom, Freeciv or Wesnoth ... their value is very much higher than 1.
