For now we're going to stick with "You bought it, you own it", but I'm keeping an eye on what happens with Nova. It looks like a good model, fights piracy and keeps the money coming in, but it does seem to be priced a bit steep. I like "you bought it, you own it", personally, but I'm cheap. I still haven't forked out the 5 bucks to get my first gen touch upgraded to 3.whatever
Ughh.. I'm not a huge fan of ngmoco's DLC model, and while it does fight piracy, it keeps the consumer really alienated. You get to play 15 minutes a day, then pay around $0.99 if you want to play more. That's atleast $0.99 a week, almost as much as an MMO on a PC. I would be satisfied with a model similar to Rolando 2 though, and it fights piracy along with providing some quality DLC.
yea..im really not diggin Elim's DLC..im just waiting for the beta period to end till i cast my final judgement on it. on an on-topic note, i swear to God, if Ravensword's approval process is a replay of Eliminates, im g2 hurt someone [not really, but, ill be very disgruntled!!] lol
lol. The first time I read the post (i wasn't really concentrating on it) I understood your post the other way round!
I wonder how using the bow and arrow looks. In a future update you should allow the player to throw rocks for kicks.
from what I can remember using the bow looks quite good. But I can't remember that much after playing eliminate...
thats a cool idea - we'll start a new thread after the release to collect ideas and suggestions for the new one.
Can someone explain how horses are used? I love that you have them, but can you attack from them or are they only for traveling great distances? Also do you get to keep your horse somewhere or do you only get them during certain missions?
In this release the horse is limited to a specific area - bringing it into other areas would have opened up a can of worms this close to release (not to mention other things we HAD to add) but we'd like to add more horse action in the expansion pack. Another good thing to add to the list of wants for the next release.
I think I know the answer to this question, but there it is... Is there going to be a lite version? And also, how will the expansion work with the original, do you get to transfer your character or is it a new game altogether?
I want the hero to bond with girls (not fall in love with but just to talk to, like link and the horse ranch girl in ocarina of time.
I was just about to ask the same thing. I don't like buying anything above $0.99 without a lite version. I've been burnt too many times.
I don't think there will be a lite version for at least a little while - as our next planned release is the expansion pack. I understand your fears though - I've spent 9.99 on games that I completely regretted and I'm not going to name any names!!! I would just wait and see what the reaction is then - and by the time the expansion pack comes out there may be other things in it that interest you. As for the expansion pack and how it integrates, we have plenty of ideas, but nothing is solidified yet. We're kind of holding down the fort until the game comes out - see what the reaction is, and then go from there.
It doesn't matter to me if there is lite or not, will buy this game anyway, even if it cost $100. It's my most expected game for iPhone ever, hope it will be available soon. Josh, I want to say you and your whole team big THANKS, just hope I won't be dissatisfied..
