    Ha! There's a line from the lawyer in Jurassic Park when bringing up admission costs for park visitors where he says, "We can charge whatever we want. $2,000 a day, $10,000 a day and people will pay it." That's basically how Nintendo operates with their games. In the rare event one of the big games is on sale it's never by that significant of an amount.

    Never been a huge fan of legacy characters but this game is single handedly making me a fan of Miles.

    See, the problem with this logic is that it conflates a lack of discounts with an increase in prices. Nintendo charges the exact same baseline MSRP as every other company in the business. Choosing not to apply discounts as aggressively as most other companies is *not* the same thing as raising prices arbitrarily high. Put bluntly, you the consumer are not *owed* a drop in MSRP just because x amount of time has passed from release.

    Also, in what world is a 33% sale not a "significant" amount? In most businesses you don't get discounts higher than that unless people are clearing inventory or its a loss leader, neither of which is especially relevant here.

    My point was that no matter how long they've been on the market, you never see Nintendo games on sale for $20 as you would for Playstation/Xbox games in their "Greatest Hits" or "Player's Choice" collections.

    And yet, despite that lack of discount, Nintendo games regularly sell insane amounts, and continue to sell strongly for months or years after the release window. They don't discount the games because they don't need a discount. Sales and price drops do not exist to benefit the consumer, they exist to benefit the company by goosing sales or clearing inventory.

    Finished the story last night and man the ending for this nearly got me emotionally as much as the first game. The writing for these games is just great stuff and so many times throughout this game I found myself saying 'Thats Spiderman' despite Spider-Man always being Peter Parker to me.

    These games have made me a Miles fan for sure. Bring on the sequel.

    SM:Remastered last month, UC4 Collection next month and MM in November or early December... What a great way to end the year that started with GoW.

    Sony has been the best PC publisher this year, ironically. :hehe:

    $60 CAD? So it would cost me $130 CAD for both SM:R and SM:MM...

    Sony, thanks for the ports but not at these prices. :funny:

    Sales will come sooner than later, for sure. The lowest Canadian price for SM:R was set earlier this month at $56 (down from $70).

    Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered - Info

    I wish they would release a bundle with both games at a decent price similar to the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection. :shrug:

    Yeah, I’d rather get both as a package. Going to want to play them one after the other.

    Honestly I liked having the break between both games. Though the first game was still plenty fresh for me once I started MM.

    The two games complement each other perfectly. When MM was announced I was thinking it would be kind of like an extended DLC but with a few added features and improved graphics. What we got exceeded my expectations because I was totally blown away by the swinging mechanics being an improvement over the first game.

    Not long at all. If it meets that date it’s as early as I could have expected.

    Really can't wait to see more from this game thought MM was a great advancement of the first game.

    I guess they're sticking to the same release schedule as the first game, around early September. Probably for the best since the first half of 2023 seems particularly crowded for games.
