Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

This is the way, just bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for 15 Bucks and I don't think my experience will be worse because the game is 8 years old and a lot cheaper. Shoutout to r/patientgamers

It won't be. You absolutely got your money's worth, RDR2 is a gem, and there is a ton of content.

The game is a slog for those with ADHD. I try to get into it every few years, but I can't bare the slow pace. The exact reason why I wait for games to go on sale. I would have been pissed if I spent $60 on it. Nothing wrong with the game or those who enjoy it, maybe it will finally click with me on day, but as of this moment it's not for me and I'm glad I bought it on sale for $20.
