DoC: is it worth the money?

March 13, 2008, 5:30 PM

I've been thinking about getting DoC but i dont know if it will be worth the money...

Can I get some help with my question please?!

If you can, stick with renting this one, or buy it second-hand. It's really not to everyone's taste. I myself enjoyed it but it's still not one of my favourite games. It's kinda short on gameplay which means you might resent paying full-price for it. Hope this helps ^^

It's rather cheap now so I don't see why not. It depends on what you like. It's a first person shooter game. I haven't yet found any enjoyment in playing it - it's been a loooong time since I last did - so I'd say I wasted my money. But if you like shooters, and can find it for about £10, go for it.

If it's cheap enough, then buy it. I've never completed it, and personally, I do not want to. What I have played, I haven't really enjoyed all that much. It's incredibly miserable and depressing.

I actually just bought this game the other day for 20 dollars (new). I've only played the Training mode, and so far so good. Mind you, shooting game isn't really my taste, but I have played a few shooter games like Parasite Eve and enjoyed it. I figured I'd try this one out too.

Like stated above, if it's cheap, it won't hurt ya'.

i would say the game is worth getting, yes its quite short and is not the same as other final fantasy games but it does have quite a good story line and some pretty amazing FMV scenes. some parts can be quite annoying but its a rather good game to play

Yeah... renting a game for $8 is utterly pointless in this day and age of used games... especially when they are so cheap... you can probably pick this one up for around $15 a your local Gamestop or EB Games... and I'd say its worth that much... its not worth the initial $50 pircetag it had, but its easily worth $15. And the great thing about buying used from places like Gamestop or EB GAems is that if you end up hating the game, you can get your money back if you take it back to them within 7 days (thus why renting games is pointless).

But yeah... worth the full original price? No.
Worth the used low bargain bin price? Yes!

Have you played it yet?

I bought DoC for £30 when it first came out - I don't honestly think it was worth that amount considering how much I disliked the game, but I guess it's good to have played it, and have it in my collection.

Yeah, I think the fact that it would be part of my Final Fantasy collection is a major factor as well. That's part of the reason as to why I bought it, even if I don't finish the game. I'll have no regret buying it at all.
