$80 Avowed
Just imagine
I wish these companies luck with getting people to bite at $80
I think that's going to be a hard sell
since most AAA games rn go on 50% sales within 6 months of release
ig this is a way to preserve more of that original price, they'll sell for $40 now intead of $30
I agree
well, actually
Microsoft's recent games
have sold so disastrously on-launch
no one was buying them before either!
I don't think the sale price is a good justification mind you, I just think it's interesting how every game is essentially only bought when it goes on deep % sales now
because most people are not subscribing to Gamepass to play Microsoft games, and are certainly not paying $80 on-release
extremely well
not full-price
Replying to legorhin #jazardly we'll see what the mario kart sales are like in a month
Take the sales numbers with a grain of salt though cause a lot of people are buying the bundle instead of the game standalone
Claire also sold really well, and was $40 this month
Dialga, that's the part I don't understand how people miss
everyone who bootlicks these prices, or justifies them with "muh inflation"
Do not restart game dev 2-4 times midway through
there was more profit to be made before at a lower price
that would fix a lot of the profit for AAA games
nooooooo Pika you don't understand
what if they start making something and it turns out to have too much soul
they can't afford to not restart, and turn it into slop at that point
Outstanding
@Rusp
nerfed lol
good change

that's kind of neat, the Elden Ring presets suck but I think there's potential there, Minecraft's are a lot better
and if you can just customize it anyway, that's preferable anyway
I don't think I was ready for the Expedition 33 OST
the entire game essentially has its own score
ik we were talking about it in vc the other day, and I was impressed as hell that the OST was 8-hours long
but you REALLY feel it when playing
Played through firewatch
it was a game of all time
I dislike the characters, I like the concept of the game
what inspired you to play firewatch now?
I am watching a stream, needed something short and google told me 4-5 hours
it took 3
it was Gents christmas gift for me this year
I liked Firewatch, Campo Santo was a promising developer
they kinda got caught up in their own hype though, fed their egos too much
I think if I did not find both of the protagonists detestable and annoying, I would have liked it more
The opening bit building the life up to the skitzo moment was very funny though
Game bugged and warped me into a place where I was stuck when I tried to cut down a tree near the end and I had to redo a few minutes of gameplay after spending 5 trying to get unstuck
Firewatch was the first walking sim that *worked* as a fun game
