Re-Destribution

[Taran'atar]

Hell no. If it's crucial to the story, it should either have been in from the start or be included in a free download.

 

If they were making an expansion pack for the usual $25 with a whole new storyline and series of locales, and that expansion also happened to restore some of the cut content in the original KOTOR 2, then I'd consider it.

 

Honestly, the number of "yes" votes I see is disturbing. What's wrong with you people? Do you want to encourage developers to gouge you like that?

[Aishur-Rim-Nisheshu]

I will not pay $50 for an updated version of a same game. <_<

[Make2608]

Like the question implies; if Obsidian and Lucasarts were to re-destribute KOTOR 2 as a "newer game", with M4-78, the HK Factory, and other multiple aspects, would you pay an additional 50$ or so for it???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I would gladly pay. There's no other games worth buying anyway.

[Palmtree]

No way would I pay for it. If people did buy such a package, it would be making a statement that it's okay to release a partially finished game and milk more money out of it by releasing a completed version later. The only circumstance where I might consider it, is if they released it at a reduced price, but even then I would feel very annoyed that I had to buy the game twice to see everything.

[Blazewamp]

I would buy it but i wont spend that id find it for less

[WITHTEETH]

No i would not.

ATARI GAmes redistributed Unrealo Tournament Collectors Edition with new CHaracters sounds leverls and ect. and it let its older custoers just download the extra stuff. what a great company, Unreall2004 has been one of the most enjoyable online games io've ever played with its rip-it-and-grip-it action.

[Lord_of_Hunger]

Only if I were allowed to bring the old copy back and get some credit. For those who haven't played the game, it'd be great though.

Hell f---ing no.

 

I'm apalled at the number of you who even said yes.

 

You'd let a company rip you off, double charging you for what they were supposed to have given you the first time? I mean really, what the hell is wrong with you?

 

I guess it is true that there is a sucker born every minute, and that no one has ever gone broke underestimating the stupidity of the public.

 

I'd download that thing off a file sharer as soon as it was available, and consider that illegal action 100% justified.

[Illbleed]

No way. I already paid for a complete game. It isn't. It has to be a masterpiece to get me buying a LA product again.

[Herugrim]

No, I wouldn't . Unless they make a DVD version and has both KOTORs plus missing content. Like a director's cut .

[Kalfear]

One of the few games in last decade Id gladly pay again for (well no thats poor wording).

 

One of the few games in last decade I got my money worth from.

 

Games that were worth their price:

 

KotOR 1 and 2, Civ 3 (and expansions), Really ANY CIV game,Original rollercoaster Tycoon (and expansions), ANY Heros of Might and Magic.

 

Games not worth what paid for:

 

Halo (got for free and thats still to much), Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (wasted $30.00), WoW (played beta for free, way to much a price), SWG (great concept, to bad SOE handling it), Any D&D (fantasy) RPG since Gold Box Games by SSI. Republic Commando (played Demo, felt cheated).

 

Everything else really just sorta throw away games. Really wish developers would make quality products again like back in old C64 days!

[witchzenka]

I'm with you on the Gold Box SSI games. I miss them.

I actually have Pool of Radiance and all its companions, but I can't seem to make them work properly on my computer (way too fast).

[porncoaster]

no way amd like a mug i got both versions,xbox and the pc version a week later hoping the half arsed patch would fix it,when it eventually came out.

[Cybersquirt]

Couldn't have said it better.

[Kaikara]

^^ That may be true, but why don't Obsidian go the way of Valve and distribute an 'expansion pack' (with the missing content and more) with a similar system to Steam. The 'expansion pack' could cost from $5-$10 (within the price range of a premium mod for Neverwinter Nights, they could even emulate the system Bioware used ), and this low price could be simply achieved by the fact there would be no packaging distribution costs etc.

 

 

If ony it weren't Star Wars, that way Obsidian would be able to do their own thing without LucasArts strangling them........

[Stargate: 2000]

It would take more than just the cut content for me to pay $50 again, I would though pay another $50 if they added three more worlds and some new weapons/armor/etc. along with the cut content.

[Nartwak]

First, I didn't pay fifty dollars the first time; second, I'd just put the original version inside the case of the second and return it to the store the next day.

 

I can do this, see, because I'm an obnoxious prick.

[Leia Emperius]

Absolutely, I would. The way I see it, the amount of content that they ended up cutting from the game is definitely worth paying again. Especially if it was all polished and neatly re-integrated.

[Darth333]

Definitely not. I would not give an additional $50 to a corporation just to get a finished product while I already paid for it. I prefer to give this money to a charity so it can help people who really need it.

[Nartwak]

Oh boy, it's Captain Planet!

[Aponez]

In one, word NO

 

I can pay for an exp, but I'll not pay for the same game twice

[metadigital]

Are you criminally insane, congenitally stupid or just on serious medication?

 

Would I pay double for a game I should have got the first time, after having my time wasted playing it when it wasn't finished?

 

Or how about: would I like to encourage poor delivery standards in future games by paying double for half a game?

 

Even if all the existing material supplied on the media were spliced back in, there would still need to be some serious work done on the plot, the narrative and the character sketches.

 

To sum up: NO.

[SteveThaiBinh]

There was a point, maybe a couple of days, when I was so happy with the majority of the game and so frustrated and disappointed by the weak ending that I might have done something as foolish as pay again for a completed game. I would still pay for an expansion pack, at expansion pack prices and expecting more cut content to be restored than has so far been discovered. But as things stand, no, I wouldn't pay again for the same product.

[STDSkillz]

I would not pay for the game as it was supposed to be in the first place. Besides, Auroria will be doing it for us for free :D

[WOW]

What Obsidian should do is that if you do not already own the game you could pay the $50 for the new and improved game. But if you already own the game you could bring some kind of proof and get the 'expansion' for less.
