Can you believe

we're only a few weeks away from the most expensive video game ever this year that is about to be released, How does that make you fucking FEEL?

pretty excited, cant wait to play

It's already happening

I just hate that fucking Mario Kart normalized $80 for the games that I actually care about. There has to be a “standard price” and it’s gay and retarded that $60 will be considered “a steal” for mainstream games.

Doom tDA was $100

I literally don't care, I don't buy those games at base price, and I don't buy into hype often. If it looks like shit, or I'm not personally entertained by it, it's going into the "Buy when it's at least 75% on steam" category, where it will collect metaphorical dust as I decide to never play it.

The re-re-re-release of TLOU 1 isn't out until July, not June. It's also $110, not $80.

The only time I've bought a full priced game in the past 7 years was during the pandemic.

You can technically buy it for 50

Like blowing out my brains is finally a viable option. Were also a few weeks away from tech illiterate retards normalizing you for being charged for graphics settings. Soon Microsoft will homogenize pc parts in the same vein as consoles amd charge you if your parts aren't compliant. It's ogre nigga. Tendies are gonna kill the industry in the background

You don't have to kill yourself, have you considered reading books instead?

This is only an issue for the braindead consoomers who MUST play the latest slop on release because that's what their parasocial streamer buddies are doing.
Most of these games will be at least 50% off a few months after launch and on the various subscription plans a year after.
I'm looking forward to these FOTM sloppers getting gouged for every penny.

everyone that was there day 1 to play diablo 4 early access is why all the prices have been increasing, its not inflation. diablo 4 early access incentive is why they are now running full speed to 100 dollar price tags

it feels like I'm going to save $80 buy not buying fucking trash

that sounds bad for my adhd

We already got games sold at 80$ and they basically flopped super hard, so I can't wait for Nintendo to crush and burn
The only game that's gonna get away with a 100+$ price tag is gonna be GTAVI

I can't remember the last time I bought a game at full price, this literally does not affect me whatsoever.

MKW is gonna sell 50-90 million copies

good for nintendo bad for everyone else
nobody will be buying smaller games for a "smaller" 60$ price

Bored and disinterested.

buzzwords

Bets on this post's country of origin?
I call Bosnia.

Piracy is still $0, MAYBE $5 a month if you pirate high-profile media (square, ubisoft, etc)

he took that personally

heh

I barely read buzzword-lined posts, because I know what they say as soon as I see the first one.

see "slop"

"Oh, it's about how shit's expensive and he's mad at people having fun."

But you tell me to cope about being able to play games. I'm seething over not posting on a phone.

Calling people willing to pay $80 """early adopters""" is wild
It's a fucking video game, not some new apple product

With how cult-like normalfag are with their call of duty's and pokemon's, they might as well be equated to apple drones

Kind of like I'm about to save $80.

What game?

Plenty of N64 games were 80 at release
Are you a fucking goldfish?

crazy that it's Mario Shart. bingtendies really are fucked

Never underestimate goycattle.

No it was not. It was 70$.

REMINDER THAT PS6 GAMES WILL BE $100 AND Anon Babble WILL MAKE EXCUSES FOR IT AND SAY IT'S OK WHEN SONY DOES IT

I am high as shit nigga & can't believe you didn't point out my shit grammar but have you perchance considered that there's no point. Voting with your wallet doesn't not work with nintendo. Just like it didn't work with Nvidia fag tracing & dick sucking lips ai fake frames and resolutions, who nintendo is working with so it's literally fucking over. Every other hobby is dog shit? Read? Read what nigga? Every book now is some old bitch jilling off to made up chad or some dumb ass fantasy shit. Vidya is so god damn poorly optimized even a 3060 can't play shit anymore. Maybe i should just do what the retards here do & read Twitter & reddit post all day lmao anyways you win jafar.

Honestly don't care, this board was never about playing videogames

I play video games all the time. I'm playing a DF video right now on my phone. Unreal Engine sure does stutter.

read the "ask the developer" section for mario kart world

they literally confess the game was planned for switch, then ported to switch 2

As someone who's actually going to buy a physical copy MKW, Nintendo and the rest of industry shouldn't expect this to be the norm.

An $80 Assassin's Creed or $80 Sonic game will get laughed out of the room. An $80 Fable 4 or $80 Animal Crossing will get instantly ignored.

GTA6 might be one of the few games I would bother buying for $80.

Feel just like I do with $70 games. There’s very very few I’ll buy for full price at launch. The rest I wait a bit for it to drop below $50 at the highest, usually lower than that though.

we

wrong, its only (you) nintendie paypiggie

Most of these games will be at least 50% off a few months after launch

Nintendo games

ever going on sale, let alone 50%

his definition of "fun" is paying 80 US dollars for video games

that other anon was right. you *are* a braindead consoomer slop eating cuck tho.

I literally will not buy games at this price.

Most of these games will be at least 50% off a few months after launch and on the various subscription plans a year after.

I thought this thread was talking about Nintendo games going by the whole $80 price tag thing.
Nintendo pretty much never puts their games on sale.

Same here. I’m not buying games at $70 and I’d rather die than pay $80 for Nintendo tech demos.

How does that make you fucking FEEL?

extremely pissed, $80 in 2017 would often get you the special/collectors' edition of many games, now they want $80 just to get in.

BOY WE GOT AN NPC SUBHUMAN ITT

Ask him what it's like not to have internal monologue and NEED to consume every latest shitty trend to get some of tthat attention from others

it will collect metaphorical dust as I decide to never play it

That's the case for any game you have on Steam, retarded PCfag, you never play games, just bitch about console players and jerk off about muh rig. Fuck off.

It only works because retarded players are willing to pay it
If it sold 0 copies at $80 they'd drop the price instantly

Hit dog will holler.

They should have done at least a new 3d mario or Zelda to introduce these prices. This swill put off a lot of parents

This reads like a nigger wrote it so I'm assuming you're a nigger which explains your adversity towards reading.

GTA 6 will "normalize" 100 dollars. Other companies will try to copy them, will fail miserably.

I bought Dragon Ball Z Sparking Zero Super Deluxe faggot edition for 110 dollars. That was the first and last purchase I will ever make at that price. It's fucking criminal how much they're charging for such complete garbage

The market will bear it

In other words, they want to see how far they can push the greed before the it breaks the camels back.

weren't people paying $90-100 for 5days ea already?

How does that make you fucking FEEL

Like I'm going to need to get over my seasickness.

the real problem here that i dont think people are understanding is that nintendo almost never lowers the price of their games.
if other companies start doing shit like this too, at least those games will eventually go down in price.
i fucking bet you breath of the wild is STILL $60.

I remember seeing Tabula Rasa on sale in stores for over $100.
It's dead now, of course.

It was 50 for me though

You're wrong, at least for Europe. BOTW got it's price raised to 70€, putting it at the same price as the Switch 2 one because retailers are taking the piss to anyone that thought they could buy the original cheaper and buy the upgrade separately.
Also BOTW Switch 2 doesn't come with the DLC included so that's 20€ more, putting it at 90€, more expensive than Tears of the Kingdom. It's a fucking robbery.
