http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=game&AppId=2100& It's $50 ($49.95), plus tax if you pay tax, with no discount like they usually have going on before the actual release day. I dunno. Might have been interested if it were a little cheaper, more reasonably priced, something like $30 or even up to $40. What are your opinions? |

Will be buying it, but not off Steam. |

On closer reflection I guess $50 could be considered a fair price. It is a full game after all (i.e. not episodic), plus it's got single and multiplayer components. I guess I'm too used to the regular stuff on Steam and have forgotten what a full-priced game costs any more. No matter. |

I'd probably pay a good portion of that just for the MP component, never mind the SP as well. |

Ah hell, I thought 'wtf' and bought it anyway. As others have noted elsewhere, the deals off Steam tends to be cheaper for a lot of us not living in the US. For example, in my case the conversion goes as 49.95 USD = 66.9377 AUD (Australian Dollars), and virtually all full-priced games in Australia are sold on the stores at between $80-$90, sometimes $100, so we do end up getting the better deal from Steam anyway. |

I downloaded the demo and thought it played very poorly. The engine didn't seem to perform like I thought it would. The combat system was trash. I didn't even like the voiceovers. I will not be buying it. |

I loved it ... The demo played great ... The engine performed just fine ... The combat system is awesome ... And the voiceovers seemed ok ... It just shows you how two people can differ so much with their opinion of a game ... :shock: :lol: I bought it ... I like Steam |

I downloaded the demo and thought it played very poorly. Well to be fair, the demo was not built using a final version of the game, so who knows what improvements have been made to the engine and combat mechanics since then. Doesn't help the voice overs I guess, but whatchagonnado. |

When are voice overs ever good anyway :P. Not often ... as I said I thought they were ok ... in "Call of Juarez" they are spot on ... about as good as I have ever heard in a game ... :shock: |
