I was excited until I read the price. Really $15 bucks? Come on man this is getting ridiculous now with all these damn $15 psn games. Devs are really trying their luck man. I could easy buy this game 1,000 times but fucking trying to ride off the backs of 1943 and how well that sold is not going to work for every game.
Hell I don’t even think 1943 was worth $15 and don’t even get me started on street fighter turbo HD remix. It was garbage and nobody even plays it anymore. They would have had me at $10 but fuck $15 its about principle and this greediness in the games industry is what will cause many game companies to go out of business.

its psn probably not, at $15 there should be. At least there was a demo for 1943. In any case fuck em I’ll wait until sony’s next year summer sale, it will probably drop to $10 then I’ll buy it.
All the sony fanboys will pay $15 for this shit and sony will keep doing this kind of highly anticipated game shit that has to be priced at $15. Really it feels like highway robbery to me. I’m offended, you’ve offended me sony, send me an email and apologize immediately.

I’l stretch as far as £9.99, otherwise I’ll be holding out for a price cut/promotion. Great that it’s finally getting a release though.

I don’t know why they do this stupid shit man. Just because a bunch of nerdy game journalist say its very interesting doesn’t mean everyone will be amazed with it. It really doesn’t look that much fun but I would have still bought it just because it was $10.
I just buy stuff to fill up my 500gb ps3 for christ sakes.
And none of you assholes better not be thinking I’m cheap. Its not that its just the principle that’s all. Call people like Garratt cheap, he’ll probably get a code to download it free, lucky bastard.

Well, no buy for me without a demo. I’m not buying on hype alone… especially for a game that’s 99% multiplayer.

Winging is when I go into my ranting stage. I transform into a dragon troll demon from the pits of Hades (AKA N4G) and bitch, bitch, bitch!!!

@ 11 because I suck at it
still should have been 9.99 remember when psn was just born and sony did things to bribe people to buy stuff from the PS Store.
1. they never charged tax
2. they would debit your card for any amount purchased made even it was only 0.99
3. PS1 games were all 5.99 (should have been 4.99 from the start)
Now its like going to get your car fixed at an auto shop.
Sooner or later they might even start charging to connect with PSN. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
TIMES R-Ah CHANGING

I really like the graphical style and the humour, but don’t much fancy the game itself.
