Question for players who bought Premium

I have a very simple rule with regards to entertainment- it has to be able to give me better entertainment value than a great movie. Here's how I compare roughly... This assumes equivalent entertainment value:

Movie: 2 hours, ~ 10 bucks to see it at the theatre.
Game: X hours, Y bucks to see it.

Basically, any form of entertainment needs to be able to pass the $5/hour rule for a high level of enjoyment- as a side note I don't see very many movies at the theatre these days . If a game costs me $50? I expect to get at minimum, bare minimum, to get 10 hours of moderately awesome play out of it.

"Freemium" games seem to offer a very strong value proposition, then. As I got to play KAG for about 10 hours before deciding it was worth the $10. So for a dollar an hour, I got a rather large amount of enjoyment. And I fully expect to get more out of it as its development continues.

For note, the game I've gotten the best value from? Pokemon Platinum. I spent around 500 hours in it since its release, and it was my go-to game for road trips and time when bored. Yes, I'm a goddamned nerd. No, I'm not ashamed. Yes, I caught all of the catchable ones. :3

 

It may sound simplistic, but this actually works well.
I'm often far more happy to invest in a game under construction, simply because I get kicks out of whatever small part of the journey I get to share with the developers and the community.

Also: Platinum was good!

 

BUY IT NOW DAMN IT!

 

Premium players command respect? I am currently non-premium (my pay pal account is currently inaccessible) and anyone who try's to command my respect gets there tail throttled, in a gaming sense. Except for Foxodi, i respect him. (His top hat does help a little.)

 

Mohawks sit upon the top of those who wear top hat heads

 

What about people who have mohawks...wearing top hats? O_O

 

I bought the game when it was $25 on desura, a day later it became $10, i wished i had waited. If would be nice if i had an extra copy for a friend but, oh well.

 

Worth it? It costs roughly the same as a single decent meal out at a restaurant. And Ive gotten more enjoyment out of it than most full retail games.... And the game has not even gotten all its planned features yet!

 

I spent about two to three sittings of 5 hours playing it alone and then i had some time off and i told my friend about the game and now we both play it for three, four hours at a time. I would say it was worht it for $25, its a steal at $10. I guess if you wait a year or two, you could get it for $5 on a holiday sale.

 

You bought KAG for $25?

 

He is talking about when it goes full price I assume.

 

Ah, sorry. Still, it's a bit odd if he paid that much for it. For for giving the developer money and all, but if I saw a game for that much, I would have checked if it was cheaper elsewhere..or at least the main site.

Either way, a bit weird for Desura to have it for the full price to begin with.

 

To be honest,currently premiums doesn't have anything flashy except for beeing immune to kicking(I still get kicked for a high ping though) and special heads.

Thus it is not worth it , since you can get it for free,and enjoy it on the same level as premiums,which I did(3 months as non-premium).But!

But then I've thought that supporting devs is worth their effort,since this game is greater than most "AAA" projects.
Getting powder kegs and zombies was stimulating too. :D

 

Always support the devs, especially sense I kinda know Geti from another forum I feel more special by doing so.

 

Totally worth it. I'd get it now, before it rises to $12.50 USD when zombies are released.

Benefits:
- Access to ALL future content for a cheaper price than usual
- Hats
- Buying the game supports the KAG Team (And in my opinion, they're a great team with great developers who will make this game greater than ever if they get the support)
