Re: Prototype Developer Radical Entertainment Closes
I think what smart consumers are tired of is going out and buying something during the release week to then get shafted by a sale the next week. If it is a game I want now and think there might be a discount then I purchase it from somewhere I know I can price match over the next month or so. If I buy from Amazon or some other retailer then I could be screwed by a price change over the next week or so and that makes me more hesitant to buy games unless I'm ok with the price change. Case in point is that I had ordered the Lego Batman 2 for 49.99 plus the ten dollar credit a week or so before release and lo and behold the week after release they had the game for 39.99. Now, I can live with that since I got the 10 dollar credit but it still pissed me off.
I actually don't understand why anyone would buy, say, Assassin's Creed at launch. It's Ubisoft!

I keep doing this because I love those games. The exception was Revelations, which turned out to be a mistake because in that game the tutorial is nothing more than "I hope you remember every tiny game mechanic from Brotherhood, and if not FUCK YOU!"

Re: Prototype Developer Radical Entertainment Closes
the AAA title is thrown around way to much...
Prototype 2 did not look or seem like a AAA title to me. It is almost like a parent with a ugly kid trying to convince everyone their angel with a C average in school is good looking AND smart...
Price your game game right...and budget it right if that means a 39.99 price point.

Re: Prototype Developer Radical Entertainment Closes
I hate to bump a somewhat old thread but after playing Prototype 2 the past 24 hours I can certainly see why the studios had problems. The game is easy and rather boring. I'm sure on other boards the word spread super fast that this game was a rental only type game. I'm curios to finish it but I'm skipping most cutscenes since I could care less about the story.
