Crysis 2 is $60

Just means I will buy it when it price goes down or failing that and it sticks like mw 2 not buy it at all

Eh, it didn't really look like a first day buy to me anyway. The urban environment isn't as impressive as the jungle, it seems to be offer less in terms of sandbox play, multiplayer looks small and run 'n gun. I mean the whole appeal of the first Crysis was large open environments with multiple ways to approach a situation or having the ability to bypass opposition entirely. With the sequel it seems like there's just a lot of scripted events and corridor shooting, I might wait till it hits 20 to pick it up.

I've noticed that in the past 20 years, Western European and American kids have been taught in the government run schools to never fight back.

They have been brainwashed into believing that they should just take it, when someone tries to rip them off, charges more money for a product than what it's worth, flies airplanes into buildings , etc.

BUT - - they will attack anyone who DOES try to stand up for themselves.

About 50% of our young people have become wimps.

I will NOT pay 60 dollars for a game, unfortunately though, there will be people with no self respect - who will.

I honestly don't care, its obvious that development costs are much higher then they were in the past. If you are complaining about this and refuse to buy it because its 10$ more...then please quit PC gaming. While most of us want to have fun, you are part of the problem of why publishers don't take the PC platform seriously.

I didn't even plan to buy this game, I knew from the begining it'll be really expensive!!

It's too bad these days gamescost more money, but don't put a proper value to their price.. 60$?! how much the console version will cost?! 80$?! 100$?!

If COD:BO will cost that much I won't even consider buying it!!!!

SHAME!!!

£26.99 on Amazon. Most new releases tend to be around this price, only game I can think of that was sold at the RRP was, and probably still is MW2.

PC games have been $50 for a very long time now. The price of video games hasn't caught up with the rate of inflation, either.

Amazon is still selling this for $50, I believe.

To me the issue isn't pricing here. Now if Crysis 2 is $60 on the PC then fair enough BUT that means the console version should be $70 then. There is a clear distinct extra cost with console games in the form of the "console royalty fee" which accounts for that $10 difference. The PC does not have a royalty fee therefore all games on the PC should be at least $10 less.

So yeah if they insist on charging $60 for the PC version that is fine as long as they charge $70 for the console version. Oh and as for this piracy rubbish there is a very clear reason why Crytek went mulitplatform, put simply it's because they could. There is nothing stopping a PC developer from going multiplatform, there is no company willing to bribe a developer to stay PC centric (unlike the consoles which have Sony and MS throwing money all other the place). I believe Crysis sold between 2 - 3 million which is pretty damn good in this day and age. However it doesn't matter, even if Crysis had sold 12 million on the PC you would still be seeing Crysis 2 on the consoles simply because they can.

I was browsing EA's store because they're having a sale and I noticed that they listed Crysis 2 for $60. Sorry if old. Hopefully many people on PC won't support this new pricing trend thanks to Call of Dooky. I personally seen nothing about Crysis 2 that can somehow justify it to be $10 more than most other games on the platform.

No problem. PC games have cost $60 before, and games back in the day cost around $80. The people complaining about this really need to remind themselves of the rising development costs, especially for Crysis 2, as it's a high-profile release. A lot of yous need to stop the whining, and stop making threads whenever a PC game costs $60.mo0ksi

As far back as I can recall (at least for the past 5 years), the vast majority of PC games had the 35 pounds MSRP with Amazon selling them at 25.

Are we really going to have this type of thread every time this happens? If you're not willing to spend the extra $10 just don't buy it. Again, I refer to how much games in other places cost. All of the games I buy at retail are normally $79 (au) and thats a discount!

I also have to question how long Kevin Van Ord is going to lower PC game scores for this. If it does become a regular aspect for games, which it looks like it is, is he still going to put it in his negative criteria?

I'm not sure if I like it or not. On one hand, yes inflation has made the dollar worth less, but on the other game companies have a ton more customers than they did 10 years ago.

Please stop complaining.

Kthanks.

So? Aussie's get exploited, nothing new. Doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.

Honestly I don't mind paying $60 because yes it's more profit that goes back to the devs and publisher to continue funding PC game development. As long as the product is good and isn't priced more than the console versions, I'm cool with it.
