"if you're a fan of the series"
My post is about fans and companies taking advantage of us fans, so I hope this makes sense. You brought up fans of Metro and pricing you felt wasn't too shabby for fans.
I think the pricing is terrible if you are fan of both games. I assume a fan would own them of course. Non-fans? Good deal I think. I don't think this pricing is good for FANS at all. I think the pricing is good for newcomers to the series. Remastered ports I already own in their original form should be cheaper, as in the $20 range. I bought the DMC collection, Metal Gear Solid Collection, Ratchet and Clank collection, God of War collection, and other collections last gen when they went on sale for $20.
I think it's an okay price IF you never played the games before, but you mentioned if you are a fan of both games. I'm fan and I find rebuying games I won not worth it unless I get them dirt cheap. It means I have to wait, but I'm okay with that.
It's the exact reason why I didn't buy Wind Waker HD for my Wii U, I didn't buy The Last of Us Remastered for my PS4, and it's why I won't buy MasterChief Collection for my Xbone. I will buy all three of those games when they are $20 or less, but I know I'll be waiting a while. Perhaps this Black Friday. Gotta love Physical Retail deals.
In the meantime I can always play them in their original state until they go on sale. I guess my point was $50 is a lot to ask if you already own them, imo. I understand in your opinion $50 is just fine, but how many times can we rebuy these collections before we realize we are paying too much for older games?
I bought Metro 2033 (Metro 1) for $50 back in the day and I got Metro: Last Light (Metro 2) for $60. That's $110 + Tax. How much more do I want to spend, AS A FAN, on these games? I think $20 added to my previous $110 is fine, but I'm not about to add another $50. Again, that's my take as a fan.
As far as non-fans, people that never played one or more of these games? Oh, I think $50 great. I think MCC Collection, Metro Redux, The Last of Us Remastered, Wind Waker HD...those are better deals for gamers new to the series. I'm just answering as a fan. I hope I posted this in a way you understand. I understood and agreed with your post until you said fan of the series and as a Metro fan I didn't agree with the price.
In any event, I'm looking forward to Metro 3 and I hope it's a true new gen title not held back by PS360 graphics.
