What is it with MMOs being released this year all have a stupid price tag attached to them.

I guess its got a bit better now you can pick up aion on steam for £34.99 in the UK but thats still more expensive than normal games.

I have probally played most MMOs out there and currently dont think any would be worth this price tag.. so is aion different is it worth it ?

Well, I havn't played it myself; nor looked at it all that much. However, it seems to be getting much better responses than any of the other mmorpgs recently released. So.. it may be worth giving it a try. Look up some gameplay videos and see for yourself, I guess.

that's only 52 US bucks, I think that's actually cheaper than what I payed over here.  It's certainly cheaper than most games nowadays, what are you talking about lol.

yeah i have been and it dont look too bad..

shame there is no trial but thats usually the same for most new mmos so cant complain too much there.

I

I can pick up most games on release for £29.99 and they dont have a monthly fee lol.. oook so its only £5 difference but i liek my cash LOL :)

also if its true and this is just one big grind of basically the same kill quest over and over i may as well go sign up to one of the free asian mmos... and save myself £35 LOL

The difference like you said that's a single player while the other is an online game.

When X mmo is new their price is high and in a month or 2 start to get cheaper it's normal.

Well in the UK its not cheaper than most games by a long shot, the normal price (RRP) is £44.99 (71 Dollars)  which is really quite alot compared to other new releases. Take a look at game.co.uk and you will see Left for Dead 2, Borderlands and a few other soon to be released games are at £24.99.

Game currently has it with £10 off at 34.99 - Source

Amazon.co.uk has it  for £44 - Source

I suspect that is what he is talking about lol

Simple answer. NO not worth it at all.

Do you not read the other posts in this form?

Take game play out of it for a second you may or may not like Aion as a whole personal oppinion and game play style very.

Just look at all the bot and gold seller threads if this does not turn you off to the game or just make you want to wait a few weeks or months till this is fixed then by all means get the game, but you are not getting a collectors edition and the normal verson is not going any where any time soon so my advice is to just wait a bit to see  how the curent problems work them selves out.

thanks zart kinda honest opinion i was looknig for..

I think ill jsut order myself Dragon Age origins when that coems out stick to sinlge player for a bit. :)

Have dragon age origins collectors edtion on preorder myself went for the PS3 version tho like playing the single player RPG's on the big screen comes out the 17th for me if you are going to get it for the computer go to the bioware site and download the charcter creator you get to make your charcter and get a bonus item when the game comes out.

you know most modern graphics cards can output to hdmi, ati runs sound as well i believe :) hehe

yeah ill be grabbing that character cerator tonight :)

My computer has a hdmi out but the computer and TV are in to difrent rooms and I am not realy wanting to move my computer and unhook everything I have on my computer and then have to re conect it will try it out on the PS3 and will probaly get bolth versons of DC univeres PC and PS3 and see wich one i like playing better

Running two of theses  GeForce GTX 295 H2OC 1792MB 896 (448 x 2)-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP.

Single Player Games nowadays give me 8-20 hours entertainment value.

A new MMO with a free month I'll spend more than 80 hours during that month playing it and thats generous. These games have cut my entertainment costs drastically. True a good single player game is worth it but I will be less likely to buy the "iffy" B games and just stick to buying the AAA blockbuster single player games.

MMO's are one of the cheapest forms of entertainment you can find. I can't see price being an issue here. Of course if you don't like the game then it is a waste but that was what Beta was for.

In the UK most PC games are only £25. So 34.99 is a lot for a PC game.

down here is Aus its $100

so i really wouldn't be complaining over the price until you have shopped in an Australian game shop.

I'd say more like 25-28, so you're paying too much, change the store you're buying from :)
