Don't forget, GT Legends is hardly updated, LFS is always being updated.

Hello Gosser, welcome to the cult of LFS.
LOL you think LFS is expensive now????
wait til you price a wheel.

Quote from ChiliFan :

PS2 games were always £40, GameCube games were £70 for just the game. It makes you wonder why people bought them.

I've never heard of a Gamecube game over E60,- So basically... £40. Gamecube games were also never at any point in history more expensive than PS2 games.

Quote from Gosser :

Hey all.

I like this game - tried the demo.

Theres just one thing iIdont understand - why is this game so expensive?

I mean, you can get GT Legends for about 8£ now, so why is this game 3 times that? (24£)

Thanks

Hey Gosser,

After a while you'll learn that there are some things you don't discuss in these forums, LOL!

Sorry to say, but many in these game forums are children who haven't developed their sensitivities and are rude to everyone. To boot, many can hardly converse in English and have difficulties understanding these posts. If you notice, many times they drive the posts in a different direction because they can't keep up with the subject.

You best bet would be to just read and if you need unbiased opinions, just PM someone whose posts show some kind of maturity. Or better yet, join a league or team forum where you can ask questions without kids making you feel like you are dumb and stupid.

This is the best advise I can give you, and btw you will see a barrage of posts commenting against what I just said. That would prove the point, right?

Regards

I think the best software to compare LFS with is Aces High II, both have a dev team totally dedicated to developing one game to be the best in its genre, whereas most just release new versions which have about as much real progress as a patch for LFS (GTR, GTL, GTR2, RACE). Aces High is £8 a month where LFS is only £1 a month if you play it for 2 years until S3 is out, SimBin/ISI release a new full price title at least once a year which to stay current with the sim community and find races you have to rush out and buy. LFS is just one product that'll last a lot longer.

1 new happy license owner - check

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

I remember seeing one advertised at £69.99 somewhere.

Quote from SparkyDave :

I also think its cheap, considering if I pay full price for any boxed game £30 aprox here in the UK, then get a couple of months play out of it, lose interest or complete it, then the makers want another £30 for some expansion pack... I am thinking of the Sims2 games and remembering games like MOHAA or BF2 where you have to shell out well over £100 to get the full set.

LFS is; buy a licence and thats it, updates come every year and we never get asked for more money

SD.

Ahh, good ol' MOHAA. That's all we did in comp sci 3 last semester was play MOHAA. EvilVendingMachine FTW w/ da RIFLE.
Anyway, back on topic, I'll pay watever the devs want for S3 beecause LFS is the best.

Tillykke med licensen! Nu hvor du har fundet ud af alle fordelene, skal du lige huske at smutte forbi www.liveforspeed.dk og www.lfs-forum.dk - her er de fleste danske kørere samlet - og vi arrangerer mesterskaber, udveksler erfaringer osv

( Just a small danish advertisement for the official danish LFS sites )

Quote from jayhawk :

Here is a way to justify it:

$48 USD for the game.
$94 USD for the Logitech FFB wheel

equals $142 total.

divided by the miles I have , which is 19,449.

equals $.007 cents per mile.

That is a pretty good bargain! Initially it can be expensive, but with all the support and the massive online experience, it pays for itself in a few months.

Completely off topic
Get driving then mine works out less at £0.009 even with price of dfp (£20 as sold it) and then a g25 as well.

On topic welcome to S2

Its because the game got release in 2 part, S1 and S2. Couple of years ago, we played the demo for many weeks and than S1 was just 10 euro or something. Now if you want to pay the game you need to pay for S1 and S2 in the same time. The game still cheaper than most others, and i don't think i ever saw a game with so many feature. Stuff like "live for speed world" is just awsome. This game is not expensive even if you don't get a box. I don't even own S2, i jus try the demo, i was playing that game some years ago. The dev did a great job since then. But im not interested in racing anymore, just passing by

You can still buy only S1 and that is £12

Yea, thats true, and for ppl like me who already own S1 and gave more money than what it was costing, S2 is really cheap(9 euro for me). But i never been good at racing

I will be back when ill receive an other email-update....

Quote from JTbo :

They should stop selling only S1, it might be confusing for some people... and then they buy it and notice that there are zero S1 servers.

There are few S1 servers, and on the STCC server (I guess) there are people too.

Gt Legends it's an old game, and i think no updates. This game os old, but the Dev's always are working to get it better, u can get up to 4 patches a day so this keep improving. I dont think this game is expensive.

Expensive???


Im not poshy or rich or anything... but this is cheap.. when you compare it to gt4 and forza and all of that crap..

huh? S1 and S2 are the same price differences, 12 pounds each

XCNuse, he said he overpaid when he bought S1. Remember you could type in any figure you wanted (I'm not sure if you can anymore), but if it wasn't at least £12 you wouldn't get a license, it seems he was one of the few that paid more just for the hell of it, because it was such a damn good deal . That money stays on your account, so he's paid for most of S2, now he only needs to top up.

Not another one - Its is cheap compared with brand new games from places like HMV or Game - You get new updates every couple of months - The use of the forum, LFSW and support from the devs and then you still complain its expensive - £24 thats like the price of 2 (new) dvds or an night out!

Anyway you still bought it so it couldn't of been that bad.

The only game that is similar to LFS is Test Drive: Unlimited but thats still about £25.

I just thought of another game to compare prices with. How many people play World of Warcraft? It's huge. What happens with World of Warcraft? You have a monthly fee to play online. I think it is something like $8 or $12 (USD) per month. So, you pay for the software, then pay monthly to be able to play. LFS has been around for 4 years and costs $50 USD (roughly we'll say, I paid $42 for S2 because of exchange rates 2 years ago). I can't remember what it costs to actually buy the software license for WoW, but 4 years worth would cost $384 to play online (using the $8 per month). WOW on the cost of WoW! If you like racing online, then it isn't so costly comparing it to if you liked casting spells on people online, is it?

Just like Star wars galaxies, i played that for 3 months or so.

LFS was far cheaper

How did you end up to that conclusion? It is almost same as you would say fire is similar to water, imo

Quote from jaspies :

GTR2 only costs £12.

GTR2 will be replaced by GTR3 in a year which will cost more money and a year after it will be replaced by GTR4 and so on.

Quote from geeman1 :

GTR2 will be replaced by GTR3 in a year which will cost more money and a year after it will be replaced by GTR4 and so on.

Or to be better said, the next update to GTR will be GTR3 which will cost another full price, then the following update will be GTR4, which will cost another full price, etc, etc. The next update to LFS will be another patch which will cost nothing and the update after that will be yet another no cost patch (hopefully incompatible ), etc, etc until it is time to move on to S3. Then it is another 12 GBP for S3 and it starts all over again with free patch after free patch after free patch as they add features to S3.
