Cheap Lunch

and all this talk it should be a promo dream

how do we explain to the devs/financing company (ubi) at present
that i for one would pay at least 4 lunches if not more for the right product, in a niche market its a difficult question, but one lunch for months of fun, does not work out for either party

Just thinking

It costs me AU$30 to feed my wife and three kids at Hungry Jacks - that's a burger, fries, coke and sundae each. That's still 66% less (AU$60) than what the standard version of SH5 costs.

This wouldn't work here because tips are "part of their wage" and they even get TAXED on "expected tips." That's ridiculous! So basically, the laws allow the restaurants to underpay their workers, then make you feel guilty about it, strongarming you into paying most of their wages instead, all so that the restaurant can have a lower price on their menu.

The Australian tipping system is best...


Unless, of course, you happen to work in the hospitality industry...

My favorite is Japan, where you don't tip at all because it is considered an insult (like you're saying "here's some money, go to school and learn how to do your job properly")

That's a nice dinner, not a cheap lunch.

My lunch today will be at Burger King:

1 Double Cheeseburger - $1

1 Value Fries - $1

1 Value drink - $1

Total = $3.24 with tax.

If I can get SH5 for that price, I just might change my mind.

No, I won't.

And you actually consider that food?! You couldn't pay me enough to eat that kind of "food"!

Actually Burger king is the only decent tasting francise out there...their whooper actually taste like something from a grill and the french fries are very tasty. But its a treat I only indulge perhaps once a month.

5 full meals at BK, is equivavelt to one standard edition SH5.

I just saw the features:

• WAR STRATEGIES: Choose your own strategy and select your targets with a new objective-driven, dynamic campaign.
• ENEMY REACTIONS: Open new locations, upgrades and resupply possibilities, while the Allied ships adjust dynamically to your approach. Your actions will directly impact the evolution of the campaign.

Sounds like quite open-enden approach if you ask me. Not scripted in any way? I wonder how free the timeline and new ports/locations will be.

its going to cost me about £30 with a small tip

i pre ordered shv collectors edition for £29.99

So "lunch for two" means "lunch, salad, beer and coffee" for two.

Glad to have that cleared up.

Actually it's not bad at all, especially for the price. And as for paying you, try being homeless and out of work, and having to eat most of your "food" at soup kitchens. After enough of that, what you look down your pristine condescending nose at now might start to look pretty darned good.

Er... yeah, a £30 lunch for two in the UK is a: GOING-OUT-FOR-A-MEAL-IN-A-DECENT-RESTURANT price, not for a sandwich/salad or fastfood meal that you might eat on any given day of the week, (which is around £3 to 5 here in over priced London anyway)

@Steve,you sure know how to put things in to perspective mate....
When you think about it, while we sit here bitching about things like OSP and bugs, some people dont even have food, sanitation or medicine.... Sometimes its easy to forget how well most of us here actually live. We live like kings compared to many.
....but I guess thats a GT disussion.
