Why is METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE that cheap?

Probably because of the gameplay hours. Not because its bad.

$30 base price for a year old game that was recently ported? Seems pretty normal to me.

I'm suprised the base price is 19,99 euro. The port must be crap.

it's not available in my region

Because it's coming out on the PC almost a year later. Unlike some developers Platinum is at least pricing it fairly considering that fact.

Because you would be complaining why it is so expensive otherwise.

Platinum's recent games are all cheaper than AAA releases, if I remember correctly Anarchy Reigns was 30$ on release day

It's not cheap, the rest is just expensive and Platinum aren't greedy asses. For an old port it is a very fair price for a great game. Just need to wait how the port turns out.

That pricing will maximize sales. It's a cheap price for PC players who haven't played the game yet and console players might even re-buy on PC.

cuz its shit, the worst metal gear evvah

Still region locked. Cough.

It was 33% off during the winter sale at one point, it seems Konami either starts their pc releases cheap or takes into effect that the game on the 360/ps3 is probably worth about that now.

Could be they're just trying to get some pc love to charge more for future releases.

You mean an old game that already came out on consoles and is available in digital format instead of physical is cheap? Outstanding!

/sarcasm

it's nice game dude buy it :)

Because if it were more expensive I would buy the PS3 version instead, second-handed though because I can not find the game on stores right now. The game is almost half a year old.

Who cares why. Let's just rejoice that it is cheap.

Its not uncommon to see ports cheaper than their console counterparts. This game was out on console for over a year before its hitting PC. There's also stuff like NBA 2k series, which is 29.99 new the same day that the console game came out. They want people to buy it multiple times.

Price does not always have a bearing on whether a game is good or bad.

Price does not determine quality. It's a fun game that the publisher feels it will be best from a business perspective to sell at this price. That's it.

Whats bad is steam sucking @ konami to implement a fucking "special" region lock which is the first of it's kind to be implemented.

Namely called: AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting and AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries

Good game. I passed this game on PS3. Port it won't be known what. I think the good. Graphically game will be better, it is better to play management with the gamepad.

actually I feel like its still too expensive. I bought my copy of mgs rising revengeance on ps3 for 10 used. Granted thats used but I would expect stuff to run at least comparable on steam if it's digital only. It shouldn't be anymore then $20 thats for sure since it's essentially used also being you only get the game no book no case no bonus soundtrack if u got it from walmart etc. If anything its worst then a used copy since u don't legally have anything but rather the right to use it.

That being said I love steam but when I saw this for 30 I immediately thought wow what a rip off

It's $30 because it's an older game; you can get it for fairly cheap on consoles now, so $50 or $60 on PC would be overpriced. It's the same thing with Dark Souls, which launched at $40 on PC, but was full price on consoles.

I don't think it's cheap. Could be cheaper. It's an old game and it's very short and ugly looking probably low budget. There's better games out there which are even cheaper.
