I can't even remember when was the last time. I think in 2021 maybe? Ever since 2020 games are not only not progressing but they are actually regressing with woke shit and they even made a price increase while offering nothing but this shit in exchange.

Et cetera, so-on, and so-forth. The point is, these absolute claims are retarded at best. Just because there is no reason for you to do X doesn't mean that there is no reason for anyone to do X. If I want to pre-order a game, I will pre-order a game.

Thank you beta tester ... you do me a service so I cant be mad at you, not matter how retarded I think your reasons are.
 
Full retail price? Probably never. If the reviews and impressions are good, and I want to play it day 1, I pre-order to get 10% discount. Otherwise wait for a sale.

you really took his post to heart damn

on topic: I think Doom 2016 is when I realised that I gain absolutely nothing of value by buying stuff on launch. on the contrary even.

I guess Hades 2 but it's actually cheaper in early access so not sure if that counts.
 
I just bought Concord...

Na I'm joking, I did pay full price for Killer Klownz from outer space though this week.

She's cute
 
If I'm buying physical I find the retailer with the best price.

If I'm buying digital (which I only do in sales or if a game is not available physically) then I buy cheap PS Store credit.

I pre-ordered Cyberpunk for my One X but it was still not enjoyable while driving. The actual missions were smooth and looked fine but when driving through the city there was an occasional jarring stutter. Super annoying.
 
Astral Chain a couple of weeks ago. Shit's rare as fuck here and the price is 55 euros.
As for a game on launch date: I think that would be Elden Ring.
 
Year or so ago Cod Mdw3. I only played it 1 time. I regret every cent i spent on it.

Otherwise Helldivers 2
 
Years ago, the industry doubled the price of PC games when the PS4 and Xbox one were released to "put them inline with the console versions" as they stated, well the quality of the ports didn't double, so where as i paid 30 quid brand new for say Skyrim, they went to 60, so i just used key sellers or waited for price drops after then.
 
Far Cry 5 2018

Never will I pay these outrageous prices so that they can hire d.e.i. consultants, buy an extra Frappuccino machine to feed them their soy, have week long menstrual breaks, and other bloat and bullshit that's strangling the industry.

Fuck them all. Pirates life for me.

I can't remember, as its been years.

There's rarely a need to buy games full price these days. Unless ok maybe it's a huge game like GTA or something. Otherwise, a game will go down in price pretty quick.

I remember wanting to play RE3 Remake and I just sat on it for something like 6 or 9 months and got it for 14.99 euro if I recall.

Even day 1 games can often be bought at a discount via sites like Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, Kinguin, Eneba, etc.
 
Hogwarts Legacy, but it was for my wife not me. Before that was Jstars Victory VS+. So excited for that game and it ended up being a massive pile of shit. Swore off buying new games since then.
 
Probably over a year. To be honest, with GameFly and game pass, most games aren't worth their Day 1 price tag. Then again, I don't think 99% of games are worth owning forever.

I think the ps3/360 era was the last time I paid full price for a game, before I moved to pc/steam sales

Every new-ish Steam game I've bought recently has been discounted, even upon release. It's hard to pay full price on there.

I did walk right into Target and buy Paper Mario TTYD the day it came out. So yeah, within the last three weeks.
