I love the Disney Infinity games but getting all the characters and game is ridiculously expensive for what it is!

akaFullMetal3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

That's the whole point. $$$

lilmisscherry3282d ago

I know, but what about the poor people lol

MilkMan3282d ago

But tell me, whats more expensive. Disney and their characters or Nintendo and their Amiibos with limited use?
Value for dollar.

thorstein3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

Disney is much, much more expensive and they come out with a new version every 3 months. DI 3.0?!?!!

Please. Amiibos just work with games, no expensive "portal" to buy everytime there is an update.

Even Skylanders was using the same portals for different games.

BABY-JEDI3282d ago

My god. Disney is leaching the money out of my pockets again. My baby boy will love this. My bank balance won't
:.(
May the force (ker ching) be with you

lodossrage3282d ago

Most of us saw this coming long ago.

The moment Disney bought Marvel and Lucasarts, you could say it was instinctual to see Marvel heroes and Star Wars in Disney Infinite.

The real question now is how do they expand after that.

Chevalier3282d ago

I was telling my customers last year this year would be the year of Star Wars and to expect DI 3.0 to be Star Wars. Guess they'll confirm it on Star Wars Day coming up.

sarshelyam3282d ago

It was heavily hinted, so this comes as no surprise. That said, I loved Clone Wars, but it's a rather stale franchise to be attaching to the initial sale. I suppose that's the point though...how many would buy a Clone Wars playset when Rebels is the currently relevant offering on Disney?

Either way, SOLD! I'm officially out of the Skylanders race. When a company licenses amazing franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, let alone the iconic Disney attachment, it's a tough sale to deliver a generic toy-based game like Skylanders.

Nodoze3282d ago

What nobody is mentioning is that the game itself pretty much sucks. It is a c effort at best whose sole purpose is to sell figurines.

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."

Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.

franwex1973d ago

Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.

Skankinruby1973d ago

Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it

Christopher1973d ago

If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.

Skankinruby1973d ago

@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.

Christopher1973d ago

***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***

If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

mkis0071973d ago

Chris

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.

Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.

Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...

franwex1972d ago

...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.

agnosticgamer1972d ago

Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...

OneEyedSteve1973d ago (Edited 1973d ago )

Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.

Majors1973d ago

When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.

darthv721973d ago

I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.

They should bring Infinity back completely. The potential is still huge, not just the Infinity games, but they could still implement the figures, old and new, in various games (Disney, Marvel, Star Wars) accross a wide variety of genres...

Mystogan2692d ago

The gameplay was awesome. I couldn't believe they nailed every characters abilities so perfectly. I thought they were going to all play pretty much the same at first.

BLAKHOODe2692d ago

I agree. My daughter and I loved playing the game together and had most of the 1.0 figures and all of the 2.0 and 3.0 figures. The problem is they made some figures that never should have been made, in part, because of movie tie-ins, like with "Time" from Alice In Wonderland. "Alice" and "Mad Hatter" were cool. They also produced too many of any one character and couldn't sell enough. If they would have worked out the math and focused more on in-demand, popular characters I believe they could have turned things around. Instead, they were getting ready to push 12" characters. I'm not sure how they thought that would be a good idea. Just poor planning all the way around. I'm so disappointed I'll never get to play as "Spider-Gwen", "Doctor Strange" or "Peter Pan" now. My kid would have loved to have the "Moana" figures. All of these were planned, too.

IndominusRex2692d ago

The characters were wayyyy tooo expensive and there were too many of them imo. Which is probably one of the reasons why this happened.

BLAKHOODe2692d ago

I'm amazed WWE hasn't tried the "toys-to-life" gimmick. I'd like to see them do it with a WWE All-Stars type game with a ring-shaped game pad to place the figures on, as well as tokens to set the type of matches, like a title match and/or cage match, etc.

gamer78042692d ago

thats not a bad idea at all, would be fun to see. we need a more user friendly wwe game than wwe2k games.
