Hahaha Lumines, i hope you fail

[phatmuther]

So well done to who thought this up, no really (Y) pat on the back.
So the game is 1200 points, fair enough, bit pricey, but ok.
But you'll need to spend another 700 points on it to get the most out of it i.e complete the game.
there are extra fees when you advance far enough into the single player "Mission Mode" and "VS CPU" mode.
oh goody gum drops
From a review in OXM (rating Lumines Live 8.5):
From a review in OXM (rating Lumines Live 8.5):
"You'll be prompted to buy the Puzzle/Mission Pack (400 MS Points extra)" once you start "getting on a roll with Mission Mode".

Also, in the VS CPU mode, when you are "knee-deep" in the VS CPU mode, "you'll be blocked by signage declaring: 'You need the VS CPU Pack (300 Points)."
well rock on lumines, i aint buying you (Y)

[Raisedbyflames]

yep enougth is enougth stuff them

[Fleeboi]

That is absolutley stupid, didn't like the look of this game anyway.

[Raisedbyflames]

they are taking the mickey look at the chromehounds ones on marketplace when youget a chance

[phatmuther]

i know ive seen em, but this is worse, effectivly you cant play all the game, without paying more.
why not just release it at 2000 points or something?
why cripple it?

[bingo83]

I have never heard of such a stupid marketing ploy. You can buy the game but its crippled from the get go.

I am all for adding extra value to the titles for a small fee but this is taking the mick.

I will just re-download it and play it on my bro's PSP if I really want to play it.

[padds78]

There is no chance ill be getting this now (N) (N) (N)

[Dcontrol]

Thats a bit naughty isn't it? I won't be getting this game now for definite.

[RiLu@]

I think the price will drop, for that price you can almost buy a 360 game on the net

[phatmuther]

i doubt itll drop, what other arcade games have gone down in price? none, they are digging their own grave with this one :D

[RiLu@]

I think it will happen sooner or later.

people still buying it for MSP, but it will come one day that older LIVE arcade games price will drop

[Fleeboi]

I can't imagine that game dropping its price anytime soon. No arcade games to date have gone down in price, maybe the bad sales for that game will make them do something about it (hopefully ;)).

[JJBDude]

LOLOLOLOLOL. That honestly is ridicoulous, paying 800 Microsoft Points is to the extreme for me, so 2000 is just laughable.

[linkofhyrule]

I don't know if I'm all too put off by the total price, when you think about it Lumines costs $40 on PSP and that's an older version.

What I am put off about is that they don't just sell it for 1900 up front, because some people will pay 1200 and then not have 700 more to get all of the game.

I still might buy it, though.

[Shoitaan]

Awww what, thats bull. I really wanted this game too... I'm not paying that much for an arcade game... jeez...

[ArtG]

No one hold your breath about a price drop on many arcade titles. Maybe on games that are 1200 points down to 800 (rarely), but dropping the price point below 400 doesn't make any sense.

[HotFish]

Bad that when you can get it dirt cheap for the PSP now.

[WACCOE]

They are now officialy taking the .

always hated puzzle games, but espiecially hate lumines.

[derekm91]

always hated puzzle games, but espiecially hate lumines.

i dont care for puzzle games much either. never heard of lumines though.

[bingo83]

Has anyone paid for part of lumines?

Seems like the stupidest marketing strategy I have ever come across. I hope this experiment falls on its arse.

[Raisedbyflames]

i played the game for a full 10 seconds turned it off and deleated it because off annoying sound fx

[Dcontrol]

well rock on lumines, i aint buying you (Y)
