  • After clicking the link and seeing how much it costs, anyone here still getting the Arc The Lad collection that's coming out in June for PSX?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I'm getting it, hell it's like buying all 3 of the series' games in one bunch. I bought a PSX thinking that the original was a launch title.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I figure I'll wait until it drops down to $40 before getting it, and the same will happen with Arc the Lad collection when they realize that your average gamer's not going to shell out $70 even though it's 3 games. My friend was very unwilling to buy one of those 4 in 1 packs for Half Life (HL, CS, Opposing Forces, and Team Fortress) for $90 and we're talking about Half Life here, a huge title, not Arc the Lad, something no one's heard of (and it's not even that big even in Japan). 

$50 is about the most you can expect a video game to sell these days (add cartridge cost for N64), and that's on the high end. Things that are more expensive than that simply won't sell a lot.</div>

Well, one of my friend has Arc the Lad and it doesn't really look that interesting. Looks like a Shining Force clone. I also saw Arc the Lad 3, looks like any other RPG out there.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I heard a rumor that WD was out of business. Vic Ireland hasn't posted on usenet in months and Silpheed still isn't out. I believe their website hasn't been updated for awhile either.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>aside from that, the series is pretty average. I seriously think they wanted to just bring out 2 but got stuck with the whole package.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>3 to 6 hours? Oh well, I'm sure the first one can't be that great if it was one of the first PSX games. I guess 2 games for 70 is still a pretty good deal.</div>
