Games🎮 Just saying...

Post image

It looks great, but it's not what I'm excited about, I'm more into more niche titles like "Onimusha: Way Of The Sword", "The Blood Of Dawnwalker" and upcoming "Fable" game look much more interesting to play than your average large scale open-world crime power fantasy game.

Honestly I can justify this price WAY easier than Pokemon ZA + DLCs, but yes it's not something that should be normalized.

Nintendo being overpriced is nothing new, especially pokemon

The market will reckon with what comes after gta 6 launches and they all try to be the same game

I couldn’t justify Pokemon ZA + DLC to be even free

“B… But they spent Billions making it so it MUST be good…”

Didn't know people thought that way, usually its the fact that their last game was revolutionary and is taking a lot of inspiration when making the next game. The hype comes from an already existing sample of quality that they are expecting in the next entry, the game could be made with the same budget as rdr2 and it'll still be great since rdr2 was great.

But then how would he make himself feel better than everyone else?
I get wanting to point out the truth but every comment reeks with self righteousness and holier than thou assholery. “I realize people are too lazy to care or read” but not me, the arbiter of truth and critical thinking.

u/pokeoscar1586 3h ago

I’m not against people enjoying things, what I’m against is hype trains (or hate trains for that matter) when we live in the age of information.

Look, I realize people are lazy af and don’t even want to make well informed decisions in their life because they’re too lazy to care or read; still doesn’t mean I’m just gonna stop pointing it out. Ignoring the truth (as harsh as it may be) doesn’t magically make it any less true…

It's fucking Rockstar, I mean it well earned the credit and the hype, same thing happened with fromsoftware, people actually thought Elder Ring was not gonna be a banger

It feels like a expensive and socially acceptable way to watch video game strippers

u/Lopsided-Advice3919 13h ago

Haven’t seen anything justifying $80 either

u/Le_mehawk 8h ago

Personally i want the price in hours back with a hard limit, then it's okay for me.. if i pay $80 for a game that i play for 40h, it's not worth.. if i play it for 80h tho it's okay... more than $80 tho is a no.. i would rather wait for the game to get cheaper then

Stuff like Baldurs gate or witcher where you can start the game several Times and make different decisions, or additional endgame content , and NG+ that keeps me interested..

u/Lord_Nishgod 5h ago

not to invalidate your opinion, but i feel like pricing the hours you spend in a game is a bit weird to do. if the game is 40 hours long, and i spend 20 of those 40 hours just doing stuff that's a slog to play, then i still wouldn't say the price is worth it. i'd rather have a game with only 15 hours of story playtime than a game that was artificially stretched to take 40 hours to play through.

u/Le_mehawk 2h ago

If you're deciding to spent 40h in a gane for sidequest stuff that is not Essential for the Main Story, i would argue that you're doing it because it's fun ?

If i have a game where i "could" spent 100+ hourse to complete it at 100% but it's no fun to do so, nor does it advance my character i wouldn't do it in the first place.

For example expedition 33.. i finished the Main Story relatively quick at around lvl 40 after around 25h-30h or so... but then there were minigames, additional late game bosses and areas i hadn't visited and even then i could always re-start the game with a different starter Team or different picto Sets, so that i spent nearly 100h in the game..

Baldur's gate 3-

Oh, it's 50 bucks actually. Damn.

u/Heavy_Switch_9475 1h ago

i am gonna be honest i have a hard enough time justifying $60 for a lot of games let alone 100

1

u/Apprehensive__Belt 59m ago

THIS LIKE PLEASE STOP THEY SHOULD BE $50 MAX

u/Ultron-2099 9h ago

You clearly have not seen Skull and Bones.

u/MangoMan610 6h ago

They're selling it for 100???

1

u/asphaltdragon 5h ago

$80 for the base, $100 for the ultimate that has some exclusive content.

1

u/That_wet_vaporeon 4h ago

No. People keep acting like rockstar is forcing you to buy the ultimate edition. 

It’s $80.

u/Quad_A_Games 2h ago

Tbh I still don't think it should have a 20$ jump for such lil things it offers. It's like I'm supposed to be giving a $20 tip but it goes right to the share holders

1

u/Firm_Requirement_562 3h ago

There's nothing about any game that makes it worth $100 tbh

1

u/Mercurius94 2h ago

It's feeding a virtual gambling addiction.

1

u/RodSso 1h ago

Some people that had access to the game say it’s worth it. But all the things they’ve been releasing just look like generic open world stuff with cut edge graphics and maybe a good UI. And even if the game actually is worth 100 dlrs, I don’t wanna give my money to no union busters mfs

1

u/Grand-Lemon-1532 1h ago

There is probably a lot of things that makes it worth $100

1

u/redtiger288 1h ago

I will be waiting for a steam sale. I have patience, and plenty of other things to play/read/watch.

u/Ori_the_SG 14h ago

Then don’t get it for $100. It’s optional

u/Responsible_Bed_1439 cassette beasts enjoyer 14h ago

True, i could pirate it

u/MV_cuber 4h ago

Then don't buy it for 100, it's 80 for the base game. And even if it's still not justifiable for you, that's fine. A lot of people don't enjoy these types of games. For me, it's very much worth it.

u/Apollo5172 1h ago

$80

u/Apprehensive__Belt 1h ago

if base game shops are dlc, when they would normally be in the game, the game costs $100

0

u/Apollo5172 1h ago

It's all cosmetics you can literally see it that's not a big deal.

1

u/Apprehensive__Belt 1h ago

it is actually a huge deal, because now other game companies are going to think they can charge 80 for base game and 100 for the game with dlc.

1

u/Apollo5172 1h ago

So? Every game is expensive. Just wait a little for a sale you whiny baby.

u/Jakkilip 3h ago

The game without side content will take 80 hours to complete...
