Looking for 5 other people to buy Asura's Wrath with

So we all want to play Asura's Wrath right? And none of us want to pay $60 right? My idea is not a unique one, and one I wouldn't feel comfortable with on any other game site. 6 people all pitch in $10, I buy the game, beat the game, then send it to the next person on the list. This obviously continues until everyone has beaten it. There are kinks to be worked out but I just wanted to throw the idea out there. Anyone interested?

This is a well thought out plan.

Or, instead. You could just watch a let's play for $0.

It's just a movie anyway.

Might as well share 360's too so you only have to buy the DLC once as well.

Just buy the game.

It is worth it.

It is the experience of the interaction that makes it great. If you just want a movie you could do a lot better Asura's Wrath.

I understand that trusting people on the internet isn't always the greatest idea, but this isn't difficult to do.

Just rent it. It's short enough that it will be cheaper and there's no risk.

It isn't still being sold for $60, check the internet some time.

BUY THE DAMN GAME AND ALL THE DLC YA FILTHY POVS LEST YOU DOOM US ALL TO A FUTURE OF MADDEN ITERATIONS AND CALL OF DUTY CLONES!

@louiedog: There are no places anywhere near me that have it to rent and I refuse to pay Gamefly month after month waiting for one of their minuscule amount of copies to finally get sent to me.

Why don't you just sign up to gamefly (It's like 15 bucks for a month?) and beat Asura's wrath that way? Then maybe you can squeeze in a second game before the month is up. Seems a far easier plan to me.

@Ratsor: Oh gamefly's not that bad.

@TEHMAXXORZ: Oh Im sorry, Amazon has it for $55 how stupid of me

This was my experience with that dreadful service.

You still gotta play for shipping and it can get "lost in the mail"

Also your using the stock icon, people tend to not take so kindly to your kind round these parts.

@Brother_PipPop: I dont have a stock icon... try looking again

@Ratsor: There's one for $40, and this whole idea is stupid.

If the money is that big of a deal, just rent it and buy all of the DLC.

@TEHMAXXORZ: Yes I'm very naive. I assume the best of people, so sue me. Regardless of price the basic idea can still work with the right people. Where would be better to find honest people than Giantbomb?

Let me guess, after you beat it, "My dog ate the disk"?

@Daiphyer: The idea is to find people who aren't assholes

You'll have a easier time finding Atlantis.

Everyone is piling on this idea, and I understand why. I want to make it clear I know it's a dumb idea. I was just putting the idea out there and apparently everyone hates it. Wouldn't it be awesome if the idea worked though? Wouldn't it be at the very least an interesting story to follow?

@Daiphyer: The idea is to find people who aren't assholes

This would be a good idea if you had real life friends. The whole putting your trust in strangers over the internet deal rarely ever works.

Just go to Gamestop buy it then return it within the seven days and get your money back.

Can we do this with a PAL copy as well?

Everyone hates the idea and I get it. It's a dumb idea and I understand all the different ways it can get fucked. Wouldn't it be cool if it worked though? Wouldn't it be at the very least an interesting thread to follow?

I fuckin love the idea, but I'm a euroduder.

If you had more posts you would be more trustworthy.

@gamefreak9: I understand that, but I'm not a forums type of guy. I just watch the videos. Also the whole meta videogame website quest thing isn't my bag either. Also we all have to start somewhere right?

Too many chances to get screwed. Even if I trusted you the next guy might just keep the game for themself.

Giant Bomb is only assholes.

On the internet? Good luck.

And no, in the case of Asura's Wrath I do not like this idea. Wait it out for the eventual price drop. No matter how shitty Capcom's practices has been recently, the ones you are REALLY hurting is CyberConnect 2 who have managed to drag themselves out of the quagmire of licensed games to show off their amazing creativity with this original IP which is amazing that has managed to eek out it's release and to so much positive reception

Got my copy today after hearing sooo much about it in the bombcast, In my opinion it is completely fucking insane as advertised but the combat mechanics are a bit subpar. This in no way breaks the game as you will never find such an absurd & imaginative game anywhere else. Lastly I love this game because it is very loosely insipired by hindu mythology and being an Indian myself it was the first time I found a game which I could relate to on a different level :)

@Ratsor Oh shoot my phone has failed me!

Non internet friends or family are where you should be looking. If you want it that bad just buy the game or rent it through gamefly redbox whatever. I'm sure if you signed up for Gamefly now you would get it within two weeks unless you live in Nunavut or something.

duderhood of the traveling asura's wrath.

@Ratsor : Well, saw the thread title and thought "That's a good idea, but finding people that aren't assholes on the internet is pretty hard." Now, I've read the entire thread and watched your reaction to people... Dude, I'm not trusting you with 10 cents let alone 10 dollars.

You sir are a better man than I. I wish I would've named the thread that....

If you want it, buy it. If you don't, don't. Simple.

I don't understand how this is any different to renting it?

If you want to buy the game buy it, if not wait 'til it comes down in price.

@Toxeia: Im sorry you feel that way. I've been defensive of my idea, sure, but I'm not an asshole.

@Ratsor: Even if you found a few perfectly honest guys to do this with, it's going to end up costing everyone more time and money than it's worth to ship this game all over the place. Probably just easier to buy a copy for yourself.

Just started playing today. I love it. Lay all your cash on it.

lol
