are video games too expensive now?

>>713737901 (OP)
those aren't video games, they're what is commonly called "post-games"

Yes but I'm an adult now, I've got the patience to wait 5 years until it's 70% off or whatever price I consider reasonable for the title in question

>playing modern AAA games

>>713737901 (OP)
I wouldn't know

yes
and even games on sale are becoming too pricey
-50% used to be a good deal but now not so much

Get a job.

silent hill 2 is 40% off rn on steam and it's still fucking 42$. I want to get the game but it's just too much, especially since other game prices aren't dropping either

>>713739989
I make over 2K p/w in Aus, and these prices are still too high for my liking.

>>713739380
>-50% used to be a good deal but now not so much

truth

>>713738419
more like 10 years now. God, the discounts are getting worse with every sale its not even funny anymore.

>>713737901 (OP)
I don't know how much dingo dollars are worth

>>713739989
hmmmm.....nyo

>>713740781

no
would you want 20 mediocre games for $30
or
3 banger games with meat and substance for $200

>>713737901 (OP)
yes

>>713741253
>banger

dumb zoomer

>>713741253
I want 10 games with meant and substance for 30$ and if I don't get it Ill just pirate them. I willing to support the devs but if I have to choose between bread and games Ill just steal both and you can suck my dick.

>>713739380
50% of 70 > 50% of 60, and we rarely even have 50% these days

>posts dogshit bo one should be buying in the first place

>>713737901 (OP)
In theory I'd gladly pay $100 bucks for an awesome game
However I can't think of many games that fit this criteria

>>713741253
>3 banger games with meat and substance for $200

Try 1. Two if you're lucky.

This is why E33 was so based. Cheaper than usual, and easily Game of the Decade.

>>713741723
true

>>713737901 (OP)
Yeah but I only buy things on sale anyways

>>713739989
believe it or not you become even more stingy with an income

>>713741412
imagine saying this with reddit formatting. how braindead's one got to be
and that's a phat no to your statement

>>713737901 (OP)
They are. Games need to be $20-40 tops, not because of how much they cost to make or what they're worth to people but because the game industry succeeded in switching everyone from physical to digital. Grats to them except a mature digital gaming environment is one where people who have been building up their libraries for 10 years don't need shit from you on your schedule. They can wait for you to get desperate and sell your AAA game for 20 bucks because they didn't trade in all their games for new ones. They can wait for the price to drop to like 30 bucks and then you remove the standard edition from the store and put up a compete edition at full price and then when you get desperate and sell that for 20 bucks they can buy it. Microsoft saw this coming, making you subscribe for games is really their only way out other than lower prices but it's not hard or expensive to build a good library on xbox still.

Borderlands is literally a virus now. I wouldn't even run it on my PC if you gave me 100€.

>>713739380
Its not a sale if the price doesn't even reach its value. Literally.

just play old games for free

they're better anyway

>reddit formatting

this is the most tourist shit anyone could say
this board first started with spacing after every line

>>713741723
Sorry but that title belongs to Astlibra.

>>713743548
who?

>>713737901 (OP)
Man, these prices are A$$, haha.

>>713739380
this
10 year old games/indies used to go on sale for like 2 or 3 bucks back in the day, now they're all stuck at 10 bucks

>>713738419
Despite having the money to pay any price they ask, I'm so backlogged that I have little to no incentive to buy new games on release. A grand irony.

>>713737901 (OP)
Games are free. I don't know what are you talking about.

>>713740693
I'm still waiting for a 2018 port of a 2012 Vita title to drop to 50%. It's absurd.

>>713737901 (OP)
the real question is why do gamers buy full price games when its been continously demonstrated they go on large sales within 6 months of release except nintendo ofc
