Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 (+Spencer for MvC3 - Jump in!)

[Zombie Fred]

I'll give this a spin when I get back home from work (already bought it via online marketplace and now pending for my 360 to be signed on) but I can't wait to give this a bionic spin.

[Dracarys]

It's always been that way though. It's nothing new.

Yes it is new, hence my example of usual pricing.

Do you go to NeoGAF, KylieDog?

Nope.

As someone pointed out elsewhere it seems the UK price has been jacked up, it is $15 in the US and £12 in UK. Other PSN titles with that US price are £8-10. It is like Capcom don't want me to buy this.

DAY 1
*BOUGHT*

Man, this is balls to the wall awesome.
Controls takes a bit getting used to (trying to do a no jump run. Kinda neat how you have to get your way around certain obstacles for this, actually.)

You can no longer swing "through" objects.
You have new abilities and various other stuff that changes the game.
The new "scanner" is pretty awesome for random shits 'n' giggles in the form of object descriptions.
Extending and retracting the arm and starting/stopping a swing is easy.
You need to click to release from a swing (kinda wish they'd either offered to use the hold forward function or evt. used a "hold 'n' release"-system like in the 3D game)

£10 then? I will wait for a sale.

It is £12, haha. I cannot justify this remotely, especially with the DRM. Even if it gets a sale I think it'll be full price of what BCR1 was when released, base on other £12 game sales.

[Zombie Fred]

I'm glad that I am getting this on XBLA than on PSN. That DRM method sucks.

Final Fight all over again.

Loving the sound effects.

Like my fellow moderator on the old BC boards, I have to wonder if its coincidence that the game's bad guy is called Sabio.

Generalissimo Killt's original name in the Japanese version of BC was Wiseman, Sabio is basically the Spanish equivalent of Wiseman.

[Mr. Spencer]

Can I also add, I hope that Groeder makes an appearance in Rearmed 2.

[Carnivol]

Yup. There's usually a good few Deal(s) of the Week or other promotions on Xbox LIVE too, but that still doesn't stop me from getting a bit annoyed every time people moan about prices not being low enough on launch (That generally seems to be the deal now, just as it was before; buy a game or any other product on launch - pay premium for it.)

Of course, I do belong in the camp that believes that there are quite a good few games that are horribly overpriced on launch... (to the point where it affects sales/profit)

[Mr. Spencer]

I think Steam has always offered some decent sales.
