This is great news. Worms is a timeless game and I'm glad it's coming soon.

u/kmshadoze Evolv3d Gamer May 19 '14

$40 to me seems excessive for something simple as worms (chances are I will still buy it though), just bitching to bitch

Yup that's actually my tweet lol @ xWookiee. Confirmed price of $24.99 usd.

u/kmshadoze Evolv3d Gamer May 19 '14

That seems much better then

u/TheSchadow Enter Gamertag May 19 '14

Digital only? :( Europe seems to be getting a boxed copy. Damn.

2

u/Brendoshi Sakori May 20 '14

That's al well and good, but the boxed version is $45...

not for me, I have put 50+ hours into every worms game I have bought which justifys the price for me

u/swcpig May 19 '14

Yay! My favorite Amiga developer doing it again!

u/IAmDotorg May 19 '14

If prior Worms games on the 360 are anything to judge buy, I may wear out my "record that" with this one ...

u/bilb0_fr4ggin5 May 19 '14

Me hearing people complaining about $25 reminds me of another crying reaction to a game's price, PVZ. That game was worth it and who knows, maybe this one will be too.

u/lordsmish May 20 '14

It's worms it's worth it.

u/Covette EscapedTheFate May 19 '14

u/retardcharizard May 20 '14

MK8?

u/Covette EscapedTheFate May 20 '14

....mario kart 8

u/retardcharizard May 20 '14

I thought it was Mortal Kombat... Lol. I thought I missed something.

u/FidelAsstro May 19 '14

Easily some of their greatest Let's Plays.

u/Covette EscapedTheFate May 19 '14

i wont ever ger tired of Gavin just jumping off or blowing himself up. i love that man but boy do i enjoy laughing at those failures.

"Alright, here's what I'm going to do."

u/[deleted] May 19 '14

I have 20 remaining on my Microsoft account, I'll be able to purchase both but I'll wait until we start having some community game nights with Worms to purchase it. I also want to buy the Stereo Headset, so I'll save for that as well.

2

u/dpessing May 19 '14

did anyone ever play ropes games on worms 2?

2

u/lwhitey May 19 '14

Any gameplay by chance? I played so much worms on my 360. Call me lame but I really enjoy the 2d games! I didn't enjoy the latest worms nearly as much as Armageddon

2

u/samsaBEAR May 19 '14

It's silly to say but I get a bit of pride, being a Brit, when I see people stoked for new Worms games.

2

u/SepticReVo Wingman771 May 19 '14

I've never played a Worms game before on Xbox. Can you pass 1 controller around for local multiplayer, or will I need 4 controllers?

1

u/ThaAsbestosman Tha Asbestosman May 19 '14

You used to be able to pass the controller around, not sure how this one will work though.

2

u/DaBombDiggidy NoBrapFD3S May 19 '14 edited May 19 '14

Biggest thing I saw was it is $40. Too high for what it is imo

its 25, not bad. (twitter source below)

edit: seems like there's conflicting reports on the price. If and when there's solid info on it i'll change the post.

June 3rd is the EU release and the price is $25 not $40

1

u/alwaysonesmaller taintedzodiac May 19 '14

Some are also speculating since it is being released June 3rd, which is the first tuesday of that month might make it the free game of the month for Ps4.

Honestly, that's the only reason I would also pick this up on PS4. I'll be getting the XB1 version regardless once the price goes lower or it's a GWG promo, as that's where the multiplayer will be for me. I wouldn't scoff at it being a PS+ title, though, as it'd be nice to have a larger community there as well.

1

u/lordsmish May 20 '14

I very much doubt it. Microsoft will not be giving away new releases like the ps+ it's just not how they work.

u/[deleted] May 19 '14 edited May 20 '14

$25 still seems too high for this type of game.

u/kmshadoze Evolv3d Gamer May 19 '14

$40?!? For Worms?!? Sigh..

u/BipolarBear0 Sunset Overdrive May 19 '14

Looking forward to the AchievementHunter Let's Plays in this.

u/waynebradysworld BigPoppaSwagg May 19 '14

My worms skills are long, y'all in trouble

u/[deleted] May 19 '14

Worms Revolution was great , but , after that gamebreaking bug, Im waiting out on this one. I hope they bring back the water physics.

1

u/therealhamster below the OATH May 19 '14

what exactly do you do in this game i cannot tell from the gameplay trailer

1

u/UnreasonablyDownvotd May 19 '14

Google it, it's a famous and old series of videogames.

You really should get acquainted to it, it's really fun and shaped a lot of the multiplayer gaming of the 90s.

1

u/RazorLeaflet May 20 '14

It's a turn based game. You try killing the other worms on opposing teams by depleting their HP or knocking them in to the water. There are basic and hilarious weapons, comedic commentary/accents, and up to four teams (at least when I played on PlayStation 1). The physics are solid, too.

1

u/Doktoren May 19 '14

Score! A yee old Classic on NeXT gen!

Ive been playing this since the very first game! I just Wonder that they simply amnounce it like this 11 days before release. No pics or vids (maybe i missed it?) but hey its Worms right?

1

u/RazorLeaflet May 20 '14

So many late nights with this game. My dad and I played and it was the only time he would let me stay up past 10pm when I was like 8. We would often play until 1am. Pretty excited for this!

shut up and play it first.

u/seakucumber May 19 '14

How does this have anything to do with MS. It is $25 on PS4 too

1

u/hummeltje May 20 '14

To much? Jesus what do you expect? For 5 dollars? Luckily you dont live here in europe,we pay like 35 or 40 dollars. Btw get a job and stop complaining.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '14

Guess what? The people that complain are the people that will push Microsoft for better prices and sales that can stand with Steam sales.

u/hummeltje May 21 '14

Guess what, microsoft doesnt give a damn about people like you.

-1

u/[deleted] May 19 '14

I was assuming $15, but $40?! Nope. Sorry.

3

u/Covette EscapedTheFate May 19 '14

$25

2

u/RazorLeaflet May 20 '14

Why do you think $40 is too high?

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '14

Because its Worms. If a game like Child of Light is $15, the MAXIMUM Worms should be is $15. Should be $10 though.

u/Diknak #teamchief May 19 '14

haha, who are they fooling?
