theres no singing. i feel lost now.

#162

Yes there is. Gordon Freeman’s dulcet tones are all over this song.

#163

I’d pay US$50 for it.

#164

I’d be willing to pay $40 for BMS.

#165

$10 dollars (like Garry’s mod)

But then but lots of content from other games so it turns out to be more expensive.

#166

7 to 15 euros max.

#167

I’d buy it for like $50.

#168

costs money=torrent

who buys pc games anymore? :brow:

#169

One meeeelion dollars… joking!

maybe around 25 bucks

#170

I would pay nothing because there is not and never will be anything to pay for that will be worth paying for.

BMS has now gone beyond what I call the DNF threshold due to it’s un-naturally long development cycle and the laziest dev team that has not been dissolved and/or fired to date (measured due to not even being able to give us a cutscene-based 10-second playable demo after almost a decade of what one can only assume is hastily slapping a couple of models, textures and maps together then throwing shit at the wall for the rest of the time like the DN:F dev teams did!), the game will suck when it comes out sometime after the turn of the next century.

#171

Well, DNF at least had a reason for being delayed so long. It gives you a timeline and story of the red light green light development that occurred all those years. Maybe BMS will do the same thing and have a timeline section explaining what took so long. :stuck_out_tongue:

#172

I’ll owe them a beer for one copy of Black Mesa.

#173

trolololol

lol? So you’d be willing to pay 3 times the normal cost of this game as a donation, but you wouldn’t be willing to pay for it if it cost money, even though it would definitely cost less then what you want to donate

#175

Oh hey! THIS kid again!

#176

You realize the reason DNF both took so long and sucked was mainly because the developers had to keep restarting from scratch after each of the roughly 50 (,000) times they migrated the game to an entirely new engine, right?

#177

First, I would pirate it, and if it was good, max £2 :stuck_out_tongue:

#178

Boncey, I am disappoint.

#179

$280 - So in other words $20 for every year of development. Really sucks that we can’t donate.

I wouldn’t expect anyone else to pay that, but I think the work is worth that much.

Can the OP please modify this thread into a poll? maybe…
A) $1 to $9.99
B) $10 to $19.99
C) $20 to $39.99
D) $40 to $59.99
E) $60 to $99.99
F) $100 and up

#180

I would pirate this sucker faster than you could say “about 7”.
