What is your stance on this?

 

[Topher]

If the game is something I really want to play day one then $60 vs $70 isn't going to change that. Otherwise, I will wait for a sale.

For example, I bought Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for $50 this weekend. This isn't a problem.

 

[skit_data]

I’ll be fine paying $70 bucks for Elden Ring.
I’ll be less inclined to pay $70 for Assassins Creed Infinite.

Not much has changed, IMO.

 

[kretos]

no i want games to be 100$

 

[yazenov]

I have limited time to play games, so I play the games I really want day one for $70 no problem. I'll be enjoying the game for weeks. Games nowadays are just too long.

Money is not the problem for me. Time is the issue.

 

[Kokoloko85]

No1 wants to pay more. But Ive bought Ratchet & Clank, Returnal and Demon Souls and enjoyed each very much

 

[ZywyPL]

No. No game nowadays is worth 70, 60, or even 50$, the content and quality is not there anymore.

 

[Arthimura]

If it has a fair amount of quality content, i have no problem.

Let's be honest, nowadays games have a lot more content than before.

Most games from PS3/Xbox 360 era could be finished in one weekend easily, the majority didn't even had multiplayer and the only thing left was to go after trophies.

Nowadays you can play a new game for an entire month, or even more.

 

[Chukhopops]

I intend to never buy a game for 79.99€, I just find it obscene and there’s no need to rush for most day 1 games anyway, they get better after a few months.

 

[Husky]

Man I've never even spent $60 on a game. I'm fine falling another year behind while I wait for my discounted complete edition.

 

[kyliethicc]

 

[Beelzebubs]

I'm not too against it to be honest. I'm old enough to remember how much games on the NES/SNES cost and understand that development costs have gone up.

I am however against $70 games that are littered with microtransactions. Choose a fucking revenue model.

 

[YoshiMadness]

Nope. Pirating is looking more and more attractive every day.

And remember, it is always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games.

Just to be clear, pirating from indie devs is very scummy. Those are small, limited budget studios that actually need that money.

But multibillion dollar corporations that constantly engage in anti-consumer practices? Fuck 'em. Maybe next time you won't be so greedy.

 

[M1chl]

70 USD yes, 80 EUR for no. I would love 70USD games actually in here, it's X360/PS3 price...

 

[Banjo64]

£70 is a no go. £50 is acceptable for an occasional banger that you know you’ll love (Smash, Zelda, From games). Anything else can wait for sales.

 

[Danjin44]

???? why would would it matter if its 3rd party game? If its a game i'm interested then I buy it, 3rd party or 1st party is irrelevant.

 

[scalman]

what you mean $70 ? i mean if its top game i dont mind rly 10 more or less.. or wait untill it gets cheaper... whatever you want rly.... if its just like 3 games in year thats its for your style then if its cost some more still its ok ..

 

[Corgi1985]

If nintendo can get away with charging $60 for garbage like mario golf super rushed then $70 for a complete 3rd party game that doesn't look aliased to shit isn't a bad deal.

 

[prinz_valium]

Nah. No buy

 

[Captain Toad]

What is your stance on this?

There should be some minimum effort requirement to create new threads.

 

[kingfey]

There should be some minimum effort requirement to create new threads.

That would cost you $9.99 sir. EA doesn't want me to do full thread for free.

 

[DenchDeckard]

No, I'm not.

 

[iHaunter]

3rd Party? No. I will not be buying Elden Ring on launch on PS5 if it is.

 

[Bartski]

Yes.

 

[Graciaus]

I don't even pay $60 I would never pay $70. I can get most new games for $48.

 

[reinking]

I am considering going back to Gamefly when my Game Pass sub ends. Sort of works out better as a rental service since it includes all consoles. Back when I did Gamefly they offered a discount on new games and the coupons so I never paid full price. I assume they still do that? The new price point is a minor reason I am considering dropping Game Pass for Gamefly.

 

[Fbh]

nah, I'll wait for a sale on pretty much anything that isn't made by From Software.
I'm also not seeing the jump in quality to justify it.

 

[Aenima]

My stance is waiting for price drops.

 

[R6Rider]

There's some games I'd easily pay that for and others I wouldn't.

 

[Rossco EZ]

couldn’t care less, if i don’t think a game is worth it’s price i wait for a sale or don’t buy.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

They are more than 90$ un Europe…. How lucky you are!

 

[Camreezie]

We're already at $100 in UK digital prices new releases are £60 or £70 which is 95 bucks

 

[clintar]

Won't even pay for Rachet and Clank cause of that price even though i wanted it.

 

[GuinGuin]

Base game cost is totally irrelevant as most third party games now come with a gold version or dlc expansion packs or whatever the hell else they can do to scam you out of more money. The total cost of games like Assassin's Creed was already over $100 last gen.

 

[Banjo64]

3rd Party? No. I will not be buying Elden Ring on launch on PS5 if it is.

Why make a distinction between 1st and 3rd party? If anything I’d be more inclined to give From £70 because they don’t make pure profit from a crappy online service and take 30% from all store/MTX sales.

Sorry - just clocked the title of the thread. OP why make any distinction?

 

[StateofMajora]

I’ll not be buying a single game for 70 this gen unless the game is huuuge value and quality and there’s no planned dlc .

 

[ripeavocado]

No, pp but I am very comfortable in buying them later when heavily discounted.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Why the 3rd party vs 1st party distinction? You know that makes no sense whatsoever right?

 

[Paasei]

If the game is a finished product, sure. That doesn't seem to be the case that often anymore.

It seems that we now pay more for less. And the extra things coming later don't interest me in the slightest. This is primarily a thing in Multiplayer games, which is fine, cause I rarely play those.

 

[kingfey]

Why the 3rd party vs 1st party distinction? You know that makes no sense whatsoever right?

1st party price is a sensitive topic.
People would defend them.

On other hand, 3rd party exist on all platforms. You cant defend them for your platform sake, when it exists on other platforms.

 

[bender]

I'd rather gams be closer 1$00 and content complete. It's obvious that's the direction a lot of publishers want to go and it is why the majority of games have digital deluxe, collectors, ultimate, etc. editions. . Just looking at pre-orders on PS5:

[Punished Miku]

Nope. Skipped multiple large releases already and waiting for a sale at least -50% or higher before touching it. Also became a new Gamepass subscriber.

Not paying near $80 every time I want to play something new. I'll make a few small exceptions for stuff like FFXVI, or a small handful of games and that's it. The vast majority of games will lose a sale from me at that price.

 

[Plantoid]

Nope, I'm not paying 70 never, even if it's elden ring (most anticipated game for me)

Will wait for deals or gamepass.

 

[iHaunter]

Why make a distinction between 1st and 3rd party? If anything I’d be more inclined to give From £70 because they don’t make pure profit from a crappy online service and take 30% from all store/MTX sales.

Sony 1st party's are designed to work best on the console with all the bells and whistles. That's why. Dual Sense, graphics, etc.

 

[NahaNago]

If I'm really interested in the game then I don't mind paying 70 for it. If not, I'm waiting for the game to drop down to 20. I'm either in or 20 and below.

I'd rather gams be closer 1$00 and content complete. It's obvious that's the direction a lot of publishers want to go and it is why the majority of games have digital deluxe, collectors, ultimate, etc. editions. . Just looking at pre-orders on PS5:

If digital deluxe versions made all expansions and dlc content apart of the $100 price I wouldn't mind spending that amount.

 

[bender]

If digital deluxe versions made all expansions and dlc content apart of the $100 price I wouldn't mind spending that amount.

The problem is that publishers would just continue to use the price hike as the new baseline. But, I'm with your thoughts. Wasn't it Star Trek Online that offered a lifetime subscription? Something similar to that for most non-GAAS titles sounds appealing. All the multiple editions for new titles coming out makes me shy away from games I might be interested in. I'm looking at you Tales of Arise.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

 

[Topher]

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

He is trying to remove console warring from the discussion.

 

[brian0057]

This video remains evergreen.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Of course not.

I wait to buy them at 30 dollars or maximum 35 dollars like 2010.

Unless I know they are niche or low-copy games
