An epic struggle many of us probably go through; that itch we've all felt before... whether or not to hit that BUY button!! Current itch: Sword & Poker Wish I would have bought it when it was 0.99. Is it worth the 3.99 price tag? Should I WAIT? or BUY?? DUN DUN DUN... P.S. Feel free to put up your own 'Wait or Buy' scenarios. Only after responding to mine though, of course ;P
I was in the same boat regarding Sword and Poker. I chose to wait. But if that particular game never comes down at all, I won't feel too bothered. And that's the crux of it really. No-one is going to give you a completely objective answer as to whether a game is worth "X." It wasn't worth $5 (AUD) to me. I can be objective to an extent, and say that I believe the game is overpriced currently. However, I could easily say the same thing about a number of others that I purchased regardless. The question is not "is game X worth X amount." The question is, do you want it badly enough right now to pay the asking price or not. If you look at it that way, I think the answer might become more apparent.
Read the S&P thread and decide if you're definitely interested. If you want it, it's well worth a couple extra bucks just to enjoy the game rather than thinking about it all the time. I loved Sword and Poker. Still on my device and well worth 4 bucks.
Seems as if the devs heard you... since 20 minutes on sale for 1.99$. I highly recommend it - just hit the buy-button quick.
I used my sale-magic... Yes... if you look here: http://toucharcade.com/newest-iphone-games/ Price dropped 20 Minutes ago. You're lucky. At 1.99$ it's a steal - because of the nice gameplay and the huge content. It takes quite an amount of time to finish it.
I tend to wait for iPhone games to hit $.99 now or wait all together for iPad versions. I also like to wait for sales in general unless I know I'm going to really enjoy a game (Gameprom's pinball games as an example are instant buys). Waiting on Babylonian Twins HD as an example paid off and I snagged it for $2.
