They aren't

Ashen, a cave near the start of the game, very important one. Didnt even do first set of quests to get camp. Banging my head against wall to get through, finally make it through with basic gear, find out nothing happens just yet. No loot or gear. Fml

Hey, remember when you could buy a copy of a popular game for $5, ever, back in those days? Me neither.

Meanwhile, on PSN, SFV is $3.99USD+tax.

I forgot how oddly shaped Batman's head was in this game. Looks like Thanos with those eyes and mouth.

What is the first one that your remember?

Warframe ?

Cheaper, even without inflation.

Ocarina of Time was $89.99+tax in Canada when it came out. Meanwhile I paid $79.99 five months ago for MW2.

Are you really that naive? Just thing about wages, server running costs and stuff. Do you earn the same money you did like 5yrs ago? I hope not.

Gaming is still one of the cheapest hobbies there is. I was 22 when I bought Donkey Kong 64 in 1999. It was $84.99 and I made $8/h. The struggle was real!

It's a shade under $150. For the record.

>You can't expect a game to cost the same like 25 years ago

why not? i mean yes, things got more expensive due but games are not comparable to physical goods. software can be replicated at no cost, you can sell it more than once while the production cost stays the same. if you want to sell more than one car or aircraft, you have to buy twice the material, put in twice the labor. this doesn't apply to software. 25 years ago only very few people had access to computers and the market for software was extremely small. now you've got millions of users - software can become cheaper than 25 years ago and we see that a lot actually became cheaper

Please compare the runtime of a NES era game to the runtime of an Xbox 360 game and compare the adjusted price to dollars per hour of content. Go ahead and make that comparison.

I'll wait.

Ps is going to make a slim and pro version as I am reading rumours every time but according to rumors they wont come out until around end of the year around December/ October

Because games cost more to develop nowadays

Well, new PC Hardware runs circles around Consoles. Consoles can't handle RT and their tiny SSDs are a joke.

What if I told you N64 games used to be $80+? New, in 1997 dollars? Games are arguably cheaper than they've ever been, because $80 in 1997 generally bought you way the hell more than $80 in 2023.

Plus, even disregarding MSRP, we have way more fucking sales going on right now than we used to. Way more.

Street Fighter V is $5.19CAD on PSN and it's far from a dead game, for example. Even discounting what you get from PS+ extra tiers or Gamepass, you could reasonably spend under $30 on either PSN or Xbox Live and come away with like 3-4 high quality games easily which will occupy your time for a month or more.

Gaming is fucking cheap right now.

Dude, you asked for recommendations, I recommended something, I do not know your gaming library.

Also, there's this thing called a "Sale", where things cost less than they usually do. And the main plattform for gaming on PC, "Steam", is pretty well known for those "Sales" they have regularly, where they often sell games for less than 50% the original price. Just FYI.

I had more fun playing system shock 2 again then I did atomic heart, nah I'll avoid the lie about "good games"

Yeah I don’t have a computer anymore so yes I was talking about steam deck. Lol sorry

These stats are incorrect. Steam does not track Achievements if you are Offline. Also Steam Achievement Numbers count people who never even started the Game.

Sounds interesting but at this point I would never be able to remember all the games I have played in my life.
