CrossWorlds is boring. Not as boring as Blitz though.

>>38887 I just don't get why it's so darn slow. This is SONIC

Why is Crossworlds $70? Is Sega really dumb enough to price out a huge chunk of the casuals who buy their games? Last year they released two 3D games together for $50 and now they're making a racing spinoff the most expensive game in the history of the franchise. Nobody's going to buy offbrand Mario Kart when it's almost as overpriced as the real thing.

>>38889 Yeah I'll wait a few years and grab it on sale for $10-20. I don't care enough about kart racing games to buy it at launch regardless.

>>38889 >Is Sega really dumb Clearly yes. They disappointed again. This could have been their big advantage. They should just make free to play and make people pay for the characters How much does the Mario racing game cost?

>>38891 >How much does the Mario racing game cost? $80 + $500 for a Switch 2 >>38890 The thing is these sorts of games' success relies on having a large playerbase at launch, you just have to remember how fast TSR died to understand that having too few players leads to a vicious cycle that leads to nobody playing the game.

>>38892 >$80 lol

>>38892 Wow it's just like this place

Maybe it will get a discount for Christmas? It comes out in November though

>>38889 >Crossworlds is $70 What the fuck, there's no way that thing will have $70 worth of content let alone quality in it, it doesn't even have a story.

>Mania overperformed Sega's expectations in part due to being a budget title >Forces only sold well because it got marked down extremely quickly, got included in multiple combo packs and was given away for free on PS+ >A huge chunk of TSR's sales came from it being bundled with Mania >Frontiers sold as well as it did because it went on sale almost constantly for its first year on the market and could be seen as a cheaper alternative to Zelda >Superstars flopped because it was $60 at the same time that Frontiers was on sale and receiving free DLC >SxSG did well because it wasn't full price, but still managed to get outsold by Frontiers when the Movie released (at least according to Playstation Store stats) due to the latter being a better value proposition Seriously though, why has Sega forgotten that a lot of Sonic games' sales come from them being bargain bin fodder?

So, are any of you going to play it when it comes out? I don't think I am

>>38897 Maybe they don't want to admit it and want people to perceive the game as more worthwhile.

>>38895 It releases in late September, so it'll probably get discounted for Black Friday. >>38898 I'll wait for it to get cut down to $30-40 like I did for Frontiers and SxSG, the only way I'll be playing at launch is if I decide to pirate the Switch version.

>>38898 I've never played a Sonic racing game. Not really interested in the genre much nor in online play.

>>38896 Supposedly the base game will include 23 tracks plus a number of crossworlds, so you're effectively paying $3 a track if you only buy the base game and only ever do races and time trials. There is additional value added by the roster of characters (23 Sonic characters and possible others at launch), the car customization and (presumably) the mission mode, but nowhere near enough to bring it to $70 (or even $60) worth of game. TSR and the Sega All Stars games all launched at $40 for reference and base Crossworlds likely won't beat them out by much in terms of content.

>>38900 Oh it's September I got it wrong

Just make it free to play SEGA. You can't sell this, but if it's fun maybe you can get dedicated players who buy the DLCs

I WILL preorder Crossworlds on every platform I WILL buy the $90 digital deluxe edition I WILL play online constantly I WILL buy all the DLCs Why, you ask? In support of HIS playable debut.

>>38898 Not a chance at launch.

>>38898 I haven't been playing the Sonic racing games but I do want to play Werehog Sonic, maybe someday in the future.

>Sega was founded by Jews I guess they really are going back to their roots.

>>38904 Make it like Mario Kart DS You can play multiplayer for free, but unless you buy the game you can't play singleplayer and can only play as Eggpawn.

>70$ >90$ for some extra costumes I hate SEGA so fucking much >>38898 I rarely pay 60$ on games to begin with, nothing is making me drop 70$ on a game, i'll wait for a sale, hopefully this gets the superstars treatment and gets dropped to 30$ at the first chance they get.

Why is SEGA like thsi

>>38889 >Why is Crossworlds $70? Maybe they had to pay Denuvo their share. Isn't that really fucking retarded considering the game is basically pointless without the online component, which you need an original key to access anyway? >Last year they released two 3D games Reminds me I might play Sonic x Shadow Gens next. >>38897 Maybe they'll put it on sale like some of the other releases? Rather slimy tactic though.

>>38913 Because they're as greedy as everyone else in the industry and Nintendo has given them cover to jack up prices.

>>38915 Nintendo just had to ruin the fun...

>>38913 Have you seen their pricing outside of sonic, the prices persona and yakuza fans pay for their shit is extortionate, we have been lucky SEGA considered sonic "budget" until now.

>>38914 >Maybe they'll put it on sale like some of the other releases? Hopefully, but if the starting price is higher, the discounted price will be higher as well. >Maybe they had to pay Denuvo their share Origins had denuvo and was only $40. Not to mention that Denuvo is only ever on the PC ports of Sonic games. There's no way this is anything but pure greed. >>38917 >The first time Sonic crosses over with Yakuza and Persona is the first time Sonic gets Yakuza and Persona level pricing Lovely.

I wonder if Sega will delist the All Stars Racing games and TSR to try to squeeze more sales out of Slopworlds.

Is there a pirate Shadow x Sonic Generations native PC version? I can barely find torrents and what little I find is the switch version running on an emulator. Does it make sense to try to find a native version?

>>38964 You're in the old thread fag.
