World's best pacific war strategy game-Ever! Worth every penny and some.[:D]

Heh! You're right Bob. It is Audrey. Didn't know her mom was a Baroness.[&o]

This thread needed to be highjacked. Thanks.

I agree![;)]

This topic has been battered to death![:D]

Audrey Hepburn lived in Arnhem during the war. She ran away from a German work detail, and hid out for three weeks. Some actors can be real people. Not just pretenders.

Come, on people, can any one tell me this game is worth the price!!!! How can you explain a 70 dollar (90 for a poor canadian like me) price tag for a game. Until there is a price drop im just going to complain and complain and complain........[:@].

It is what it is what it is, if you don't like the price don't but it. [:-]

She saw some of her friends killed by the Nazis,so she started working for the underground,distibuting leaflets,etc..This was before she became a "star"..
Her life was as surprising as was Julia Chiles's...

Yes, WITP price is high compared to the average videogame.
BUT How long did you play the average game? One week? Two? One month? I bought WITP 4 months ago and I am still playing (and enjoying) it.

im just going to complain and complain and complain........ .

welcome to the forums invernomuto, resistance is futile. Just make sure your transports do not have the 'do not unload' button toggled.[:)]

Ya know....I really waited quite a bit before I bought WITP. I remember 5 years ago when I first found this website and d/l the PacWar updates. I waited and checked....waited and checked. Then I saw it was finally done and released. Then I saw the price....YIKES was my first thought. But to be honest. I paid 89.99$ for PacWar...still have the box with the sticker on it...that was in 1994 or 1995. Been so long I cannot even bloody remember. Considering I got 10 years outta that baby....9$ a year is NOTHING. WITP is 1000x better than PacWar so the 120$ (Canadian), btw I got the physical shipment as well, is a bit steep to start but like any good investment will pay for itself over time.

I dont even want to work out the $ per hour ratio....because considering the hours spent on PacWar its less than a penny per hour.

PLUS you get all the support from Matrix....the terrific Modders....and the nuts on this Forum [;)]

worth buying at given price
with all bugs fixed it is worth 100$
with AI rewritten could be 150$ or more as it would be last game bought by you

Hey, jjax, it's not Matrix's fault the socialists have ruined your economy up there, thus
depriving the citizens, on average, of the wealth they would otherwise have (and thus
be able to more easily afford $70 for a great game). Quit voting for the idiots, then
you'll have more money. hehe

And, as has been pointed out, WitP has such depth and replay value that $70 is really not
a lot to pay for that kind of quality. Also, considering that deep wargames like this appeal
to a fairly limited number of gamers, it is necessary to have a higher price per game to compensate
for the lower volume of sales that one will get with a game like this. Compared to something like
DOOM III that will sell in huge numbers.

Well, I bought Hearts of Iron 2, probably the best mainstreamish WW2 strategy game on the market, about a month ago, and I don't play it much anymore. And not because I don't like it, its a very good game - but WITP is vast. I think I'll be playing my game with SPrior till I'm old and grey.

So yeah it's worth the cash. And I live in poverty, so. [;)]

...I must add that I didnt like UV much. I felt the map was far too limited, your tactical choices almost nonexistent, the game having several annoying features (which WITP seems to have fixed in the main).

But I think WITP rocks. Much, much better than UV.

I love these threads - the first poster comes in, says what a rip the game is (having never played it), then is never heard from again in the thread...

Works every time.

YOU'RE RIGHT! IT'S NOT WORTH THE 80 BUCKS (US)! It's worth a lot more than that!
Going to the movies will cost you 3-5 dollars an hour for entertainment. WITP is already
down to less than 40 cents an hour for me, and still going strong. The only potential
downside is that if you are married it may also cost you a divorce.

Or if you're single you'll never find that special someone. [:D]
