It looks pretty good from what I've seen. And I find it incredibly silly that people are saying 10 dollars is a good price but 15 is too much.
Five bucks too much.
That's like, the price of a sandwich.
Impulse buy territory used to be anything under $20 for me. Now it's anything under $10. The economy has hit my entire region really damn hard, it's like this for nearly everyone near me (if they can buy entertainment stuff at all, most can't anymore). I know some of you pay $5 for a burger (?), but for for me that's an entire meal (which I need to live on) at least.
Just sayin'. For perspective and all.
Another kind of silly point: $15 is half again as much as $10. It's actually substantially more expensive when you look at it as a percentage.
Not trying to argue here. SPAZ is a really cool game, and I think it's a lot of fun. The Penny Arcade article was good, points out that people are a lot less stingy with their money when going out with friends / passing the local Taco Bell than they are sitting at home with their PC. I'm sure any one of us could get into the psychology of that at depth, but I'm not qualified to do so.
For SPAZ: I'm pretty early in the game, but I like the Tug ship (two missiles and one medium turret + 2 module slots) the best so far. Which makes me kind of sad. I have two other mediums, including the Hound (which I thought would be an upgrade), but I end up preferring the Tug anyway.
Starting to unlock a large, hoping for good things. BACK TO THE GAME!
