Why is this 7 year old game 40 dollars?

[vrystal 4fros d4rngatito]

I had perpare to die on my wishlist for atleast a year, and it didnt go on sale once. Now they remaster the game and its at 40 dollars? Id rather buy a new copy on ps3 than spend 40 dollars on steam. Whats really going on? This game should be on sale 5 days out of the month.

Well... ive played it in the prepare to die edition, so i bought it for 20 €.
Considering i already knew every tiny detail of the game before i bought the remasterd... i still enjoy it.
Like for real, im actually working on the darksoul achievemnt and such...

If you are a fan of the series, i do recommend that you pick it up...
However there are various... problems with it...

As its an old game, all popular builds are already found... so you have this noob army of GiantDads that are everywhere... (I swear they are worse that roaches...)
Furthermore, there are cheaters in this game... (thats no surprise as they were common in DS2 and DS3 as well... but its worth to mention).

But the online aspect works fairly well now. When i played this game the first time the community has had died out a bit... so no real online interactions... so this is pretty fun.

In all truth... its probably just a "cashgrab" ... but its probably the most worthwhile "cashgrab" you have seen in several years... And besides... if you are new to this game... then it still is not a cashgrab... Its basically a 20 dollar game + a 20 dollar Graphic DLC with multiplayer inclusion.
Because say what you will... If you would have bought DS1 prepared to die last year... you wont have any multiplayer interactions. And the graphics have been upped nicely.

For me, considering i already played trough the old version 50 times, knowing all secrets and such, its still worth it...
So if you like darksouls, and difficult games (because this is way more difficult than that petty excuse of a DS3)... then you will LOVE this game as well...

Ive played it before years ago and loved it. but im not spending 40 dollars on this game, on steam? Come on. I could buy 5 great games that are just as good, if not better than darksouls. Dark souls 1 is much better than dark souls 2, but im suprised they have it selling at the same price as its prequel. they really should be ashamed.

PTDE was only $20, so pretty much your fault if you didn't buy it while you had it in sight for a year.

They replaced PTD with remastered. Owners of PTD get 50% off.

why would i spent 20 dollars on the game when I could wait for a sale? Not to mention its competing with other games on steam that are less than 20 that are just as good if not better. Most people have already played the game years ago and arent welling to spend 20 dollars for nostalgic reasons. Im sure not, lol.

Did the owners of ptd have to buy the remastered, or they kept ptd?

Kept PTD and have to buy remastered if they want it.
Literally no reason to play PTD once you have remastered though, except for maybe nostalgia reasons.

thats the funny part thou, you could of bought PTD, and theyve got the owners of it spending 20 dollars for it. Im not sure what they added besides from fixes the community already did. And from what you guys are saying, its just a cash grab. They released this remaster like its a new game when the content could of just been DLC.

They didn't truly replaced the game. You can download and even still play it online. It just can't be bought anymore. Edit: Which will kill it in a short time.

I'm not saying anything lol. I'm apparantly one of those weird people that likes the remaster.

To be fair, it's running on a different engine, has a few new features etc. I'm not complaining. Cheaters are an issue atm tho.

[JaKeD]

Except the owners don't need to spend 20 dollars for it, if they are happy with PTDE then I'm sure they will stick to that. And this game isn't just a DSfix like everyone says. It accomplishes much more than that and actually works properly.

Its the same exact engine, some modding tools even works with this game without any change, at max its a updated version, but its still the same engine.

What did they accomplishes to call for the 20 dollar increase in price. what justifies that.
