Some guy offered to sell me Curse of Monkey Island and The Dig for $10 shipped. I always own Curse but not The Dig, and I don't have much interest in it. Should I do it? Seems like a good deal...

Uh, I don't know. The game is okay, nothing real special. But then again, the price is good. I'd say yes.

Go for it. You can always sell CMI for some thing like 5 bucks then you would have gotten the Dig for 5 bucks. It's not one of my favorites but I'd say it's worth 5 bucks.

SakSquash · 08-02-2005, 08:26 PM

Pfft! Way to convince me! Forget it! I'm not doing it!

"The game sucks...but sure, buy it!" Yeah, way helpful.

It's not that bad, but you could probably get it cheaper. Good choice.

The Dig was pretty good - 7/10 for me. I didn't like the characters, but the story was decent. I would say it's worth $10.

Agreed!

Characters were grating but it was a well designed game and had some pretty inspired settings.

Worth $10 shipped? I'd probably say so.

It's not just for The Dig, but also CoMI, which I already own.

I'm going to pass it up though. I have wayyy to many games on my waiting to play list.

The game was okay, so I don't think you'll lose any sleep over passing it up.

Personally, I really don't remember all that much about it. I tried playing it once, got stuck near the beginning and stopped. Then I revisited it several months or so later because I had no other games to play. I remember thinking it was pretty decent once it got going. But I guess I just liked Robert Patrick's voice. It's freaky cool. I would probably replay it again, but I've still got too many new games I haven't gone through, and there are other classics I'd much rather replay before I even considered The Dig.

But enough about me.

The Dig is a great game.

Of course, after all these other posts, I guess one good opinion won't be enough to convince you.

Tobbe · 08-03-2005, 04:18 AM

I think you should go for it, The Dig is a great game, in my oppinion, though I haven´t played it through yet, mayby halfway, but it´s great..
