So a game that is large and complex should be more expensive than a game that is simple but much more fun, just because it's large and complex?

I'd get a lot more fun and playtime out of Mario Tennis than Cyberpunk 2077.

This is where subjective opinions come into play.

I disagree.

Are we talking about expectations from an optimistic perspective, or from a realistic perspective? Because if we look at trends, expectations should rarely be anywhere near as high as people hype games up to be, but not so low that a $60 game should be $20 cheaper. Spooky Phijkchu I think it is about expectations

Even if we're not calculating for inflation, I've spent $80 on Nintendo 64 games, MSRP.

Atari 2600 games in the late 70s/early 80s were released at $20-30. If we account for inflation, let's take 1982 as the year because that's right before the crash, that's $57-86 for a game.

But prices as they are? Like, why would they be going down when they've been $50 minimum for console games since the 80s?

If games were 100% complete upon release and there was zero extra monetization, then I might give some credence to that idea. Phijkchu_Pikachu which is why when I see people make the "actually games should really be more expensive" argument I laugh (edited)

Depends on the indie game. I'd rather pay $60 for Bloodborne 2 than $10 for Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2022. SyrenBell I would rather buy an indie game for ten dollars than a 60 dollar triple a game

Agreed. That's why I stopped weighing games on the dollar per hour scale. Phijkchu_Pikachu Game cost entirely depends on the game

If you want to get into the fucking bullshit, let's look at a game that you pay $60 for, then $30-40 for a season pass for 3-4 pieces of DLC that would individually be $15-20 each, pre-order bonuses to ensure more people buy a game that may not actually be good or have to shell out additional money for the bonus 6 mont

Anyway. What I was saying, is that I feel personally that I get more enjoyment and value out of $60 for a video game, that lasts 20-30 hours, than I do out of spending $15 for a movie ticket for a 2-3 hour movie. I'm not saying companies should shaft players or anything, I was just saying that I have less problem pay

and hard as fuck to read.

it gets segmented

where if I put one sentence

shit like this

you get

The problem is, is that if I don't, and the chat is active, then

Sorry that I try to put a single coherent thought in one message.

so I don't get a wohle taught out

like that person above

like a fucking tard

me to type

if you want

Sorry

I'm speaking for myself personally. Spooky Phijkchu this is such a stupid argument

When fucking tickets to go see a 2-3 movie in a theater is like $15

Like, I spent $60 on Spider-Man on PS4, I spent like ~30 hours getting the platinum, enjoyed it the whole time, and even if I didn't go for the platinum or play it more after, I would've been fine with it

I think the reason I'm not wholly bothered by games being priced as they are is because 1) my view of money and relate it to how much value I give it to entertainment, and 2) how I spend money on games. When I stopped buying tons of games on sale(not playing or even installing most of them), stopped buying bundles wit

I can design dozens and dozens of sprites that are meant to be used with the stock RPG Maker 2003 in an hour. 😛

good* spritework taxes spritework takes

But I view money differently than other people, it seems

I'd much rather pay $60 for Mario Golf or Mario Tennis than $60 for Pokemon Sword/Shield, $30 for the two expansions, however much it is for Pokemon Home to be able to transfer shit, etc

I've never seen a physical DS game released at less than $30, but the point does stand

For me, that's more like, giving a place to rent games after rentals died and PC games stopped having demos without having to torrent

You mean like, the Xbox Game Pass thing?

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood

I absolutely hate GAAS for pretty much everything besides MMOs.

I'll reserve judgment for Pokemon Legends until it's released and I see actual gameplay, not just a trailer, but I'm not hyped.

And with the latter, more often than not, it comes out poorly.

It just feels like games are either, like, yearly releases that change very little or nothing, and could function just as well as DLC instead of full-priced games, or if they're not yearly releases, they try to reinvent the wheel too much when the core systems were completely fine and dandy and try to deviate from what

Of course it's hot diarrhea, it's Southern California.
