Shovelware that sells for $50.

Lego Indiana Jones. It's currently on Gamestop new for $50.
Garrysmod. It's currently on Steam for $10.

How the forget do people get away with this? Garrysmod is practically a lifestyle and it sells for 1/5 of the price of some stuffty game with (boring) recycled gameplay with updated branding.

There's also the price of the Source game you need for Garry's Mod.

[Jacob/Lee]

I always ponder that same question.
I think Steam just sells stuff cheap.
I've always liked the Lego "----" series but Garry's mod is just as good.

Stop dissin' Lego Indiana Jones. That game's pretty fun, on the Xbox.

No. forget that. Garry's Mod blows the Lego ---- series out of the water.
Actually, no, Garrysmod drains the water from around it, blows IT up and then teabags the wreckage.

Garry's Mod isn't so much a video game as a platform for damn near anything.

RP? Got it and then some.
Building stuff? A house? Yes, it's got that. In-game and with an external program for the game.
You want to blow stuff up? It's got plenty of that.
You want to fight other players? Any way imaginable to do that.
You want to make a loving movie? Professional quality, it's got that.

I believe the only limitations of Garry's Mod are the limitations of the Source engine. If the engine can handle it, then the only limitation is your imagination. Literally.

Stop dissin' Lego Indiana Jones. That game's pretty fun, on the Xbox.

You run around, find bricks, mash buttons to defeat enemies and solve the occasional poorly designed puzzle. Oh wait, I forgot, I got it Indiana Jones mixed up with every single one of those stuffty games ever.

Because game companies make a fortune preying off of gullible little kids who are willing to buy crap for 50 bucks and are not allowed to  play anything rated higher than e10

I know, it's fun. Although, Gmod is twenty-three thousand times better.

It's their only way of making money because they lack the talent to make an actually good game.
That ontop of everyone just ripping them off by getting the game for free.

Sirrus came up with good points.

I suppose I am. I like it, though, so wh'ever.

[Illidan]

I don't like the LEGO ____ games, nor do I really like Garry's Mod.

I only like Garry's Mod for ragdoll posing. :\

[zackin5]

The first few LEGO X games were good, but now they are starting to shovel ware.

Although I think you can find better examples. *coughmyfantasycough*

Sirrus, I hate to mention this but you're stupid.

Whenever you get around to noticing how many more people worked on Lego Indiana Jones as compared to Gmod and how many more people are taking a cut...

Lego Indiana Jones:
Tt games, Lucas Arts, LEGO, Gamestop, Shippin' and Handlin' charges

Gmod:
Garry, Valve, download cost (insignificant)


So let's quit with the hate-mongering and look at this from a business perspective. The amount of branding in Lego Indiana Jones alone suggests a much higher income requirement. Also Lego Indiana Jones was a good game.

While I agree with everything you said, that's part of the problem. All those people that spent money and time weren't interested in making a good video game; they were interested in making menial video game that crossbreeds two marketing goldmines for little kids: Legos and Indiana Jones.

Look at series like Madden: They update player rosters, improve the graphics, add a new play mode, take something away, and sell it every year for insane money.
