Thoughts on $60 Online only games?

maxen · Dec 14, 2015

I picked up Titanfall at launch at full price. I think I got my money's worth out of it, but mostly because I had many friends online all enjoying the game, and it was the first Xbox One game I (and many others, I suspect) poured many hours into on multiplayer
on the platform.

But if that same game came out now, at the same price, in this more crowded marketplace, I do think I would struggle to justify paying the £50 I did then.

Just because you suck at it doesnt make it bad. You're just jumping on the trend, you dont even know why you hate it, you just do because everyone is doing it.

Evolve is a great game, period!

For me, it depends on the game. Evolve didn't offer enough substance to warrant its price tag. It was way too expensive (and the day one DLC, my god....but thats another thread, another time).

Starwars Battlefront is a different story though. I beta tested that and though the beta test was limited to 1 coop mode and 2 MP modes, I thought the substance to warrant the price.

My personal rule is to stay away from MP only titles until I get them for at least half off.

$60 online only games don't bother me if they provide plenty of content. Battlefront has a ton of content that made it worth it to me. Lots of co-op missions and MP gamemodes keeps things interesting. That and it's Star Wars.

If the content is there and I see the worth, I'm good with it.

Titanfall was fun, but I didn't pay full price for it. By doing that, I've felt that I've gotten a value with an online-only experience. Plants vs. Zombies as well was a good game that didn't have single player and was reasonable priced at $30 (and supported
free DLC!)

I see the concerns of online-only games for full price. I'm used to getting a single-player and multiplayer experience for that price and if one part of that experience is axed but still retained that hefty price tag, it would make me question how much each
aspect is worth.

Another thing is with the Internet; as that article mentioned, if the servers get axed or the community dwindles, you've practically wasted money on a game that is unplayable. At least with a single player, you could still play that game without it being
taken from you.

Really doesn't make any difference to me. Like others have said I just don't spend my money on them if I don't feel like they are worth it.
