| Topic | Why is Hitman 2 still so much money??? |
| MrMallard 09/15/20 8:50:08 AM #8: | God of War was a singleplayer game on a single console with a single, defined gameplay experience. It made its money, and it's essentially entered a retirement phase where Sony can take a bit of a monetary hit on it if they want, and they also want the widest market coverage possible so people will be looking forward to the sequel. Hitman 2 is a singleplayer game, but it's a "live service" - special events take place in the game that you'll only know about if you log in within 2 days of it happening, and they offer recurring DLC packs throughout the lifespan of the game. Hitman 2 acts as a framework to present levels from both the first and second game, and to facilitate events like those bonus targets that show up for a pre-determined amount of time. So as a "service", it's more expensive - the logic being that you're paying an entry fee for the service. I'm not saying it's justified or anything, I just think that's the logic behind it. --- There are no pan-asian supermarkets down in hell, so you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts.
