Kane99 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have not purchased a game going for $70 yet. I usually just wait for a game to lower in price, or just play what I get through gamepass. I find it far more appealing paying a $15-16 or so to play many games versus spending a $70 pricetag on something like Skull and Bones. If I try that game, it'll be through Gamepass if it's ever added. Which I think will probably be soon with how underhyped and how poorly rated it turned out to be. Also Suicide Squad was released for $70, and no way am I paying that amount for what is essentially a live service game that has already lost most players interest. We know games like GTA VI, anything from FromSoftware, and other big time triple A franchises will easily sell for the $70 release price. But you are usually going to get good out of that price tag. So far most $70 games aren't worth the price, at least for me. This article here - https://exputer.com/exputer/palworld-helldivers-2-prove-70-dollar-games/ discusses how cheaper priced games are more popular as of late, like Palworld and Helldivers 2.

killamch89 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Most of the new games, I tend to get free keys from friends, bundles etc. The most I've ever paid for a game is $50 and it was Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Pre-order and we all know how that game turned out.

Bilita Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 $70 is like the new price for a tripleA game, which is crazy. It's hefty, but when you think about how many games sell DLC's (which can quickly add up), then $70 isn't that much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 While I have paid for a game in the past, I have not spent a lot of money, such as 70 dollars on new games. I would rather wait for the price of my favourite games to drop before I end up paying for one. That is exactly how I tend to do my things.

Kennysplash Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I have not made any purchase of that amount yet, and I finely even think I would. Games are usually transferred to me, and thank goodness I have friends that are ever ready to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarik Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I've paid $70 for a game, yes. It's a lot, true. But I've spent a lot of hours playing the game. It's worth it, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I haven’t paid $70 for a game just yet, but I know I will soon when the new GTA comes out and the new Call of Duty of Black OPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I have not paid $70 for a game yet and don't believe I ever will. I will always wait for a sale or for the game to drop in price before I make the jump and buy the game, especially if I can't justify the $70 price tag. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the games I've seen go for $70 aren't even worth half their price. They're usually filled with all kinds of gimmicky mechanics, lootboxes and half-ass DLC content.

Agreed, I feel as though most tend to double down on their games by charging that amount and then adding more into the game in terms of microtransactions, issue is people will buy the game and use the microtransactions so the developers continue to do it.

Scorpion Posted Friday at 03:56 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:56 AM I totally get that! Waiting for prices to drop makes sense. Game Pass offers fantastic value, especially with so many underwhelming releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I couldn’t agree more with you! $70 is insane price for the majority of games. I also wait for Game Pass offerings or use the sale method to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
