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.

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...

FPS games arent worthless. I enjoy some. IF they have alot of setup such as a mechwarrior or carwarrior game. Or anything where stealth and logical movement such as military use is a benefit over just running in with the fastest trigger finger.

On the pricing, I dont think we can gauge overprising yet. There are many games priced that high and I dont think we have all seen enough to price it compared to the market. Also we would have to gauge it against the average, not against the best available at certain prices.

In fact, come to think of it, personally I think there are a ton of games out priced as high as Dom3 that I consider be below Dom2.

ok, but i never see any game priced over $50 so I have no idea what you're talking about. Some games used to be over $50 but that was like 4 freaking years ago. By your description of a "non-worthless FPS" I don't see why you don't like Battlefield 2. One time me and a clan member made our way from karkand to the US base using some good teamwork.
