awful.No. Gp. Everything else is a sale.
I don't feel the pressure to buy most new releases anymore, even at the current price. It's not like years ago when the industry was moving forward at such a rapid pace. Once upon a time you'd feel like you were missing out, but not anymore. Most games from 5-7 years ago are indistinguishable from current releases. And there's just so many.
I just don't feel the quality or interest anymore in getting the biggest and best new thing, because it's hardly bigger and better than what came before, which is available in droves at a cheaper price.
Last game i preordered was MGS 2 at my local because if you didn't you wouldn't be able to play it.I have stopped preordering ANYTHING only buy day 1 on VERY FEW select titles that are worthy of the price (expedition 33 latest example).
Otherwise I wait until a steep discount. My backlog is huge so I'm not in any rush to play anything.
Most everything is going to be a sale or rent. Most games aren't worth the $80 price tag.Nintendo broke the seal and it seems MS and surely Sony will follow suit with first party games for the most part costing 79.99. Are you gonna still be there day one to support the devs are are you all gonna wait for massive sales?
I'm gonna be damn picky about what constitutes a day one purchase at that price.
A $10 - $20 price increase won't change my purchase habits at all.
I was mildly okay with it at first because game prices hadn't gone up in 15 years. But honestly I'm not anymore, games are launching even more broken, still filled with dlc, barely looking better than last gen games. What's the point?$60 to $70 broke something in my brain. I went from buying a game a month down to a few games a year. At $80, I'll probably buy 1 game a year.
A $10 - $20 price increase won't change my purchase habits at all.
And even for those larger games it usually takes months now days to get them into a good state. I am just going to pretend that games are released a year later.Yes. Good luck selling me on something not on the scale of BotW/Witcher 3/GTA for $80.
First time Sony tries dropping a 20 hour story driven game with 30 hour to platinum for $80 I'm laughing my ass off. The same goes for any company loading an $80 game with microtransactions out the ass.
