    I was strongly considering buying these games. I still have my original PC copies from back in the day, but I thought it would be cool to have it on Xbox.

    But for $AUD74.99 I just don't think I can justify it. I mean, I know that they're amazing games with several hundred hours of content, but it's heaps of money for what looks in the screenshots like a port of the mobile version.

    Does anyone else feel the same way?

    I would probably buy it at US$50 if the online co-op is present, but I can't find out for certain. Plenty of material from a few months back says it will have it, but the store has it tagged as single-player only. I'd love to play this in co-op. Kind of irritated if they pulled it out without warning.

    You're buying two games, not just one. If you find the price to steep there's always the option to buy it with another currency (using a gift card).

    It's way too overpriced considering its age and the content you get. You get the same game on PC for a few bucks. That being said: Wait for a retail sale. MSRP is 50€ here and several shops sell it for 40€. I'll grab it for around 15-20€ in a few weeks.

    No Co-Op/Multiplayer currently. Dunno if they are going to add it.

    I didn't even blink at it. Ok get more out of this than almost any $100 new release. (Looking at you Anthem). It's a bit steep, but it's another reason to play it again, and with xbox achievements!
