Re: NBA 2K18 Features Shaquille O'Neal on the Cover of Legend Edition, Ships Septembe

I'm not even going to get excited, they are just gearing this up to sell people on VC, accessories and cards to use. We probably won't even get a re-done body type of Shaq from Magic, Lakers and Heat teams, and we won't even get a re-done cyberface lol...

I won't even go towards wishing for a Shaq challenge or more Shaq teams to use in playnow or my league etc lol NBA 2k17 did NOT even have Kobe Bryant in NBA 2k17 outside of 2 classic teams and freakin' CARDS lol WTF is that...

I miss the NBA 2k Michael Jordan challenge, I think every classic player that NBA 2k features should have something like that.... PLUS the stupid god forsaken cards........

Re: NBA 2K18 Features Shaquille O'Neal on the Cover of Legend Edition, Ships Septembe

People are idiots who throw money away yes, but the fact that 2K has the monopoly on the genre plays a big role too. Just because it ALLOWS them to charge whatever they want doesn't mean they have to gouge prices so blatantly.

There's a point where people just snap and buy an alternative product or brand out of spite because they feel they are being exploited.

We aren't there yet, but everyone has their limits...

The game is still $60. They aren't "charging whatever they want" for the game. It's the same $60 that it's been for 15-20 years. If they were charging $80 for the base game then I'd agree with you, but they're not.

Now, if you'd like to purchase a version of the game with extra bonuses like virtual Shaq shoes and jerseys, extra VC, or even shell out for a different cover version of Shaq, then that's up to the individual person.

Right. No one is forced to buy this version. I guess people like having something to be upset over....

I've bought the past few 2k's, but didn't really enjoy 2k17 that much. Not excited for the game at the moment and I'll probably pass until at least black friday or I may just skip 2k18 altogether.

I think we're just confused why they raised the price 50 bucks after releasing the trashiest 2k game ever? Tf

Save the extra $40 or $90 for VC, if at all you want a purchase. Else, like me, wait for used games bargain.

Unless you all want to stare at Paninis while you crossover.

Exactly.


I really don't get why all this nonsense about the 150 $ even started.
There are DOZENS of games with collector editions having the same price.
Sure, you can argue if it is worth in the case of 2k18. (No, if you ask me).
But that's it

Destiny came out with a $170 edition where you could get a replica helmet or something. Who cares. The dude at the store didn't make me buy it.

Re: NBA 2K18 Features Shaquille O'Neal on the Cover of Legend Edition, Ships Septembe

I don't get why I should want a "shaq edition" of something where I do not have anything physical because I just download it^^

I was talking about those who would prefer the physical edition, of course. Lakers' Shaq is more marketable than Heat's because he was a better player and won more Championships and whatnot; and there are way more Lakers' fans than Heat's. I'm a Lakers' fan and I won't buy that edition just because it's got one of the best players in franchise history; I did it last year with Kobe (80 €) because he had just retired but after seeing all the game's bull****, I'm only buying the standard edition, and not in launch day. But there are people who will "take the bait" and they will make a good profit from it

You don't have to buy that either.

I understand that I don't and I won't. I just don't see why they raised it $50.

Release Crappy Game = Make next game 50 bucks extra

?

Because capitalism. And because they are digital products, they have barely any manufacturing costs if this edition doesn't sell.

And it wasn't a crappy game. And 2K18 won't be 50 bucks extra.
