Goddamn video game industry

Those same goddamn companies are the ones to blame, its their fault things are how they are, making stupid games or the same old shit with a new name and having the balls to charge you $60 for it. How in the world do they want people to buy a game that its NOT worth what they charge for it??? Screw them...

RF3 was 30 bucks, just saying. It's a DS game.

Secondly, I don't regret spending 60 bucks on the game at all. It gave me what a game was supposed to be. A fun and refreshing experience with innovations and new ideas, just like the games in the old days. Oh, and K-Mart had a sale with Vanquish on it's release week. It was going for like 30 bucks.

You'd be surprised. It's like saying "People that play fighting games won't play black ops because it's of a different genre". Well, if you take a look at my friends list on PSN, half of them got a copy of Black Ops on day one.

And another thing. The industry seems to give up on a title after a few weeks. Any title gets shoved in the bargain bin after a month (especially if the initial sales aren't stellar), and if a game is a hidden gem, by the time word of mouth has created some interest, it has already been declared a flop and subsequent sales won't count. And even if it sells hundreds of thousands in the months and years to follow, it won't generate a profit and it will still be a flop.
