It seems like playing this game will mostly be a juggling contest, like mario kart is with snaking.

Is that how it is online?

@ChelseaAthamas:

Uh, no. You're working together with three other players to defeat shit. And you can't really juggle your buddies when you choose to fight them.

Is castle crashers going to come to the PS3 or do people just need an xbox 360?

@ion1626: I think The Behemoth are pretty tight with Microsoft at the moment. The platform's doing good business for them - first Alien Hominid HD, now this. I wouldn't put money on CC ever getting to PS3. Pity, really, because it's a game that should be enjoyed by all.

A PC version with mods would be cool, too.

@Blane Schippers: Wow, you don't think CC is worth 1200 points? It's probably one of the best value for money games out there, especially if you want every single character / item in the game, let alone if your like me and only want one runthrough out of it.

In fact, it's probably one of the best 3 XBLA games period. You think 1200 is overcharging for that?

@Hooligunn: I have to agree, and I'm against the 1200 point. But Braid and CC are well worth the price. Not so much a lot of the other stuff at it.

@reality.exe -console: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Castle Crashers are the games I bought for 1200. Got Braid when it was on offer as 800. Not enough replayability in Braid for me to spend that much on it. But yeah, in general most games are not at all worth 1200.

@Blane Schippers:

You can't afford fifteen fucking dollars?

And don't give me that 'But it will set a bad standard...'

No. Castle Crashers is well worth the 15 dollars. Its bordering close on the worth of a retail release with how much playtime you get out of it.

@Komrade Kayce: Wow, 15 bucks can be a big deal for some people. Not everyone on here is gonna be as financially well off as you, don't be a dick.

@BelgianBadger:

Don't be a retard. I hope you're joking.

By lower the price, it would be 800, aka 10 bucks.

You're telling me that Im so financially well off that I can afford an extra five bucks over someone else?

If you're so bad off economically that paying a reasonable amount for a game is unreasonable to you, then maybe you shouldn't be buying games in the first place, because your money could be better spent elsewhere.

@Komrade Kayce: wow, someone thinks his shit doesn't stink. I'm sorry but a statement like "YOU CAN'T AFFORD 15 FUCKING DOLLARS???" just reeks of ignorance. Whatever, I feel bad for you since whatever is so wrong with your real life makes you feel like you can push people around on the internet.

@BelgianBadger: Komrade Kayce's argument easily exposes the flaw in yours though. Video games no matter how you look at them, are a luxury. You are already paying close to $300 for the console itself, and regular retail games sell for $40-60 and many of them do not offer the same replayability as CC.

So really, if you somehow can't afford a great game for its value at 1200 points then you really shouldn't be playing video games in the first place.

@XForce: What about those of us who can't afford all those great retail games for their value at $40-60 but instead buy one or two at that price and then a whole bucketload of others half a year later for $5-$20? ^^;

If digital distribution (whether on 360, PS3, or Wii) followed the same route as retail games, one could pick up Castle Crashers for about $5 by now. I most definitely would, even if I still wouldn't be able to sell it on should I feel like it.

In the end, it really comes down to pricing. If a game costs $15 or $60 then that's perfectly fine. If, half a year later, the $15 game is still $15 and the $60 game is $20 (with the added bonus of having resale value), it does tend to raise a few eyebrows, no matter how good the game in question would be.

@EldonTLH: I tend to agree with that mindset except that the XBLA game is launching at the discounted price. You can't compare it to retail software and the discounts they see as the higher price leaves more room to work should discounts be desired by the publisher. I myself am not a fan of seeing nearly all XBLA content launching at the higher price level when it certainly would have been 800 points before Braid, but the pricing scheme is what it is and remains lower than retail fare. I'm doubly not liking the higher pricing point since it lessens the likelihood of a robust on-line community, leaving games such as Death Tank with diminished appeal due to pricing itself out of sufficient popularity.
