  And tha is why don’t buy games until they are heavily discounted and actually finished.

    Or at least actually finished, for some reasonable definition of “finished”. I’m going to buy Haunted Chocolatier on release and I’d pre-order that given the chance and I never pre-order (I’m actually 1 for 1 on pre orders, I pre ordered Star Trek Voyager Elite Force).

      Elite Force was absolutely incredible! Considering you were trapped in like a ship graveyard the variety of environments was pretty impressive. The combat was fun, the story was interesting…could’ve used a little more ship exploration on voyager, though.

    That’s not as reliable as you’d might think.

    King’s Bounty 2 is on a near permanent 90% sale and the owning company considers it completely done… and forgotten.

    Or there’s some weird eternally Early Access games always on a 96% sale, but they’ve been in

  Once again another reminder why I don’t buy games at launch.

  Well, this and the near-$100 price that most AAA’s are launching at now.

    Legend of Zelda and other big name NES titles were $60 USD back in the mid to late 80s. That’s over $170 today. Average NES games were $40 back then, which is still around $115 today. Discounted $20-$25 games are closer to today’s $60-$70 standard edition titles.

    Yes, they were cartridges with chips back then, but prices are a lot better now for a game. Today’s $100+ games are for the ultra/deluxe editions.

    That said, I usually don’t buy games at launch unless it’s something from like Rockstar.

      A direction inflation conversion like that is not invalid, but it lacks a lot of context. Games might have been more expensive back then, but everything else was orders of magnitude cheaper. People were buying homes and starting families as young adults back then. Now many in that bracket live check-to-check and struggle to put food on the table. It stings a lot more.

      also to clarify: I was using Canadian dollars. Major releases are around one hundred bucks here when adding tax, give or take a little.

      Do you not understand how basic math works?

      Like, this is seriously some addition and multiplication 4th grade stuff.

      Do you genuinely think games today sell fewer copies than games of the NES era?

      So cool thing. Nobody has to care about inflation and we can all be mad and should actively boycott 70$ games so the price goes back to 60$.

    “AAA” LMAO

    • TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s called AAA because that’s the sound I make when I see the pricetag.

  As long as it runs better than the Brazil version I am happy.

  I thought this game had been out for years

  • simple@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s been out on playstation for a while, but it just now released on PC.

    Its been somewhat released on PC as a hacked together version since a bit after the big Sony leak the beginning of last year. It only got an official PC release yesterday

  • TommySoda@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah but he PC port just came out yesterday, I think.

  To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

  This is a little sad. Both SM1 and MM were great on release day for me. Got the right when they came out and they both lead with great reviews out of the box.

  Hopefully this is something they can fix pretty quickly. I want to play as a Symbiote, dammit!

    Super Mario 1 and Megan Man both were great on release!
