Wow am i the only one that was surprised by how well priced this was.

[brettapuss]

Obviously F2P would have been amazing, but Rocket League wasn't free to play on launch in fact it was the same price as this. I think for a game like this its a more than fair price even the most expensive package is less than £40 which is crazy imo. I was really expecting a over the top price, ive been following this game for a while so i knew it was never gonna be F2P, so this price is a pleasant surprise.

As for it being DOA, Football is the most popular sport on the planet and the most accessible. It doesnt matter how terrible FIFA/FC games have gotten over the years people buy it like its going out of fashion. This game will do just perfectly with crossplay and XBOX Game pass.

This game will be doa if it isnt free. It isnt well priced.

Not every game needs to be a F2P game to succeed, go back to fortnite.

I'm glad it's not free-to-play. 25 euros isn't a lot of money.

Multiplayer games always have the following rule:
A game costs money = there are fewer cheaters.

Especially in the beginning, when smaller studios are just launching their IP.

The game will die in a couple of months after release lol

Why do people enjoy or even wish games to fail. The game is fantastic if its a good game it will sell. Look at Schedule 1. £17 meme game and its selling like hot cakes because its good. This is £3 more expensive the same price as rocket league at launch It will do just fine. Football is an extremely popular sport

Not every game needs to be free, I agree. But a 5vs5 arcade football game with no additional content but skins and battle passes is not worth 29 dollars. Its criminal comparing this game to Schedule 1 which is being developed by one person and is still in early access. Don't be childish or offensive, you are the one that started this conversation on the pricing of this game. I want the game to succeed since i am a fan of Sifu but it will struggle at this price point.

First of all tell that to Rocket League i remember this exact same conversation when it launched PlayStation and then later came to steam. Everyone crying "this game will die at £20" and i had to keep telling everyone it wont die if the game is fun. it's the same for this, if a game is good and fun then it will do just fine, its cross-platform too. You're just saying its gonna fail because you wanted it to be free, I wanted it to be free, everyone wants every game to be free obviously what a perfect would we would live in if every game was free. Not every game can be free.

Also who the hell am i insulting by comparing a games fun-price ratio. Im complimenting Schedule 1 how am i insulting them. Its £17 and its a fun game so it succeeds, this game is £20 and its a fun game. Rocket league another take on fictional arcade soccer was £20 and a fun game so guess what... it succeeded.

Another fantasy sport game that recently came out which did everything the total opposite was Quidditch Champions, the Harry Potter IP is HUGE and it bombed hard. They went for a more expensive price of £35 and changed all their gameplay from the private tests which was being extremely well received as it was a very competitive high skill ceiling game. Then literally 2 months from release shifted the game into being a casual experience making it 3v3 with bots instead of the original 5V5. They did one last test with these changes and everyone cancelled pre-orders in droves the discord went from about 30 thousand to only around 6,000. The game was no longer remotely fun, not even making that game F2P would bring people back.

Literally this exact conversation was being had when Rocket League was coming to steam and people was having little temper tantrums over it, but people picked the game up and they enjoyed it, this game has 1 thing rocket league didn't have at launch and that is being on Gamepass. I myself don't use Gamepass but im sure you and your friends do, this game is made by a small indie studio of around 60-80 employees it being free to play wouldn't work it's MTX's wouldnt be enough to keep the lights on, theres no real way to monetise this game post launch, though im sure they'll try because mOdErN gAmInG. Rocket League could do it because of the cars, paint jobs wheels, boost trails all these fancy shiny doo-dads what got all the simpletons tiktok brain juices flowing

You really think people are gonna get equally as excited about some new football shoes, socks or a little hat for their character. People are gonna feel way more silly to buy that from a cosmetic store for $10, $15 or more than to buy a new rocket car with boost trails for you $10 if you're the kinda moron that's into that stuff. So as much as this game will have a store front they know full well they can't lean on that anywhere near as heavily to make them money post launch compared to a game like Rocket League.

calm down lady are you on your period? no need for essays.
this game is DOA cause of its price point, why else do you think so many other people think this will happen as well? its pretty fkn obvious a game releasing by an indie studio with 0 marketing and the game being a 10 year later version of rocket league without cars except it costs 30€ WITH a battlepass in game is a surefire recipe for a disaster.
basically every multiplayer competitive team based game nowadays releases as F2P for obvious reasons, its not that people are broke its just to attract more players and when you attract these new players you can easily make a profit by selling in game content like skins and cosmetics or whatever, so instead of having 10k players on release you would have 200k and of those 200k at least half would stay for a while and probably invite their friends to play this F2P game.

because everyone wants everything for free because of fornite simples. Not every game is ran and backed by a mega corporation. Short and sweet for your tiktok brain. In the future if you don't wanna read don't come to a forum.

You forgot the rule about it dying a month later also.

Well damn i feel for you i dunno whats happening to your economy over there but the price is extremely reasonable here in the UK Rocket league was 19.99 on release and this game is 20.99 so really can't complain. With the most expensive edition of the game being 38.99

I can't believe an adult behaves this way. Bro is so defensive over a conversation that he started. Are they promising you a free copy of the game?

Not being defensive its called a conversation i'm stating counter arguments to your claims. thats how conversations work. What is it with this generation of people whenever someone disagrees with them is now "being defensive" or "raging" or "crying"
