When you think about it, games aren't really that expensive.

[Fatboi1]

I often see dudes saying "Man this game has no MP?? " as if the game having MP would somehow make it worth $60. You probably go to the movies and spend $20+ for a 2hr flick that you can only see once.

You buy a game like say Resident Evil 4 and you can play it over and over and even if you don't play it over right away, it's always there. A lot of times a game with great pacing and a nice sweet length(12-15 hrs) is better than a bloated 15-20 hour game like The Evil Within for example. I might beat a game and then later on decide to play it over on a harder difficulty or just because I enjoyed it a lot.

Some of the best games of all time aren't the GOAT because of some cheap entry price that came with fully fledged MP, it was good because it was a damn good game.

Examples:

I'm sure cats beat these games dozens of times. Hell, I feel like replaying Okami right now..

To me, a good ass experience is what matters. I don't correlate X hours of game time to completion to what the cost of the game should be. If I get a really fukking good game that took me 10 hours to beat then I'd be fine with paying $60 for it. Now that doesn't mean you should go out and buy each game day 1 for $60 as these days you can always get a deal(GCU, coupons, sales etc.)

What y'all think?

People that put in 1000+ hours into multiplayer got spoiled.

Give me a good 5-8 hour experience and I'll be happy. Multiplayer is a bonus.

Length will always determine whether or not I buy a game full price.
There are exceptions but for the most part, I don't care how engrossing a story is - if it's 6-8 hours and offers to little to no replay value, I'm not throwing out 60 bones.
I rarely, if ever, touch MP so it never factors into my decision.

I actually think a great 8 hour experience is a very good value, but that's just me.

In this era, there's never really a reason for me to shell out full price for a game. They get discounted so quick nowadays, it simply pays to wait a few weeks. Game aint going nowhere.

On your other point. I prefer a game that's 15-20 hrs where the finish line is in sight. I don't dig games that are too long to where eventually I'll give up on it and never finish it.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Agreed. Gaming is the cheapest it's been EVER.

People complaining obviously never bought any $70-$80 N64 cartridges.

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

i dont consider ppl who play MP only (all the time) gamers

 

[dBoyFresh*212]

Games are not overpriced at all you are right. A movie is 20$ for a 2 hour movie that you'll watch no more than a couple times. A tv show season is 40+$ on dvd for maybe 10 hours. A game is gonna keep you entertained for way longer. I have 50 hours logged in GTA story mode alone and I got the game arround Xmas. That's a whole lot of entertainment for just 60$

 

[Ciggavelli]

I actually like shorter games for the most part (minus open world games....I like those long).

Gaming really is cheap compared to other forms of entertainment.

 

[Teal.]

If I'm paying $60 for a game shyt better have mp.

I'm not about to shell out 60 dollars to play a movie game for the 40th time. I may as well just wait to it hit the discount rack.

 

[Illuminatos]

Yup. A regular 2K game could last me an entire year and I won't ever get bored of it.

shyt I was still playing 2K11 up until 2K13 dropped and I'm actually still playing Black Ops 2. The hours of entertainment that you get from the multiplayer experience really makes the $60 worth it.

 

[chemicalsword]

preach......

 

[hotbeezie]

I payed 60 for Ncaa 13 and it's still getting burn

My sports titles always last me a year

The on 60 dollar games I buy are:

Gta
God of War
Smash bros.
Shooters
2k
RPG's (major titles and only if my backlog is lacking)

Shiittt, this a low key PC bragging thread.

If $60 a pop is not your thing, you can often get brand new games for $40 or less day ONE!. I copped Shadows of Mordor for $25 day one.

I can't remember the last PC game i paid full price for day one.
