Title: Reverie & Resurrection: Worth their price?

I beat Lords of Shadow a while back and f**kin' LOVED it. But I'm wondering... Are Reverie and Resurrection worth their price? I've had plans to get them, but I've heard they're very short, so I'm thinking they may have a hefty price.

No. I enjoyed both (especially Resurrection), but they're not worth $10 each. They should be half that, IMO.

Not worth the price. I'd recommend just watching a playthrough of both on Youtube.

This I don't do. I simply don't find enjoyment of watching people play (unless it's Spike & Barley. F**kin' funny as hell).

Do prices ever drop on DLC or am I gonna have to fork out more than they're worth to play them?

I think your best bet is if they're featured in a Deal of the Week or something similar. But then you could be waiting forever for that to maybe happen, so you're probably just stuck paying $10 for each of them.

It sure would be nice if Konami learned to price their DLC properly as a whole, though. I've noticed arcade games like the Simpsons and X-Men are $10 each, compared to $5 games from other companies, like Shinobi and Doom.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero cost $5, and it lasted me quite a while. Do they last at least as long as that game? I honestly would have paid $10 for Case Zero...

NO!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg2u_De8j5o#ws)


I love them the puzzles were interesting hell the whole thing was awesome, but that price tag. last time I checked the price I think was 10 dollars(how much is that in ms points but over all a few hours for what I paid  :( ) a pop so 20 in the end for only a couple of hours beat both of them on the same day I got them it's a tad dissapointing now that I think about it, but at the same time I did have fun.

Imo... Yes, they are... Both are fun with a good lvl of difficulty, good puzzles and good story...

I was happy with them both but Reverie is much better in my opinion. The difficulty is high, but I enjoyed that. Definitely  get them if you loved LoS and have the cash to spend

Rarely do I actually post here.... but this question needs a DEFINITE response.........

Let me first start by saying I LOVED playing Lords of Shadow.

So with that being said are a total of 3 stages(one of which is an almost exact duplicate of the castle hall stage; the rest are mostly puzzles) and 2 stages (which are basically just a boss fight each and some climbing/jumping.) worth it at a price of $10 each? NO!!!!

..................... will they be worth it at this price tomorrow or the day after? NO!!!

............................. is it worth paying $20 for maybe 2 hours of fun that will get old fast? HELL NO!!!!!

.................................. and just in case you still have doubts:

NO!!!!

HELL NO!!!!

HELL MOTHERFUCK NO!!!

So I'm guessing the biggest answer is "no".

So unless there's a price drop or sale going on at some point, I'm gonna have to wait til I have money to burn...
