Why is this allowed?
>>739207778>everyone wants more effort put into the games>they spend 6 years on making an $80 AAA titlemake up your minds
>>739207778the drones will gladly cough up $80don't forget the $30 DLC in 6 months if you want to a post game
>placeholder date>placeholder pricebig wow
>>739207778I'm so fucking tired of the ESL shit on this site
>>739207879Looks 30fps to me.
>>739207885I like when mr merriku says this about the graphics and all they do is add more objects to the map, ayy lmao.
>>739207961Which is standard.
Pay up piggy
>>739207778lmao that would be an immediate skip from me. implying anything gf makes is worth more than $40
>>739207952I’m a white American that didn’t proofread because of my dog being retarded
What did you fags honestly expect?
>>739208514You wouldn't buy it at 40. Or at 10.
>3 hours of work is outrageous
wawa WiWa!
why do pokemon fans deserve better
>>739207778There's really people here that expected them not the charge the full $80 for a mainline Pokemon game? It's a no brainer, maximize the profits on the game you know 100% is going to sell millions.
>>739208204I remember when mentally ill tendies started hyping the shit out of the 120Hz screen
>>739207778>Pokemon WiWa preorder spotted from 80 dollarswhere? your image doesn't show what you claim.
>>739209012It's for 40fps performance mode.
>>739207961What a way to indirectly admit the game looks good visually looool
>>739207778>WiWakill yourself
>>739207778I'm not sure why anyone expected otherwise.
>>739207879Do you really think the game is up to par with modern standards now? This game looks like what Sword of Shield should have been.
>>739207778You tolerated Nintendo charging full price for handheld game software when they used to cost $35-$40. Now get ass fucked like good consumers
>>739207778Because you goys will buy it anyway.
>>739207778What's the source OP?I'm not pulling up anything on Amazon or google. Shitposting using falsehoods makes you look like a faggot cunt.
>>739209182
>>739209295Yeah, it might use raytraced lighting and DLSS. We need to stay tuned, but I've been out of Pokemon since Moon because they seemed shit.
Are we deadass going to call this wiwa
>>739209367Amazon Germany[spoilers]post more slutty woomies[/spoilers]
>>739209639The whole internet has.It's written in stone.
>>739207778Who cares? Video games are dirt cheap. Inflation is higher than game prices so it's literally irrelevant to me. Sucks to suck poor ass zoomer tranny fags.
So actually closer to 85-90 with tax and shipping
>>739209881I use my employee discount. It basically just takes the tax off, but it’s something I guess.
Pokemon ZA was already $100
>>739209715Can I offer you a big titty squid in these trying times?
>>739209881Shipping is free the fuck are you talking about?
>>739207778Stick to your containment board fag>>/vp/59290197
>>739209836this
>>739209881If the price is actually $80 USD then walmart will price match the digital at $70 for their physical copies.
>>739207778>>739207778>>739207778>>739207778Isn’t that how much ZA cost? I’m confused
>>739207778Can’t wait for all the tourist outrage from the same people that bought a switch 2 for a shitty AC clone.
>>739208835>>739208835>>739208835>>739208835>3 hours of workBrother, I live in Tennessee and we don’t make that much Are games cheaper in bigger states or something
>>739207778>WiWaIt's WinWav, you imbecileWiWa would be confused with Wind Waker
>>739210610>you imbecileBUNOS DIOS MANDY
>>739210610Wind Waker is WW.
>>739207778Still buying it.
>>739210610>>739210691>>739210721Wind Waker is WW1Wind Wave is WW2
>>739207778>Why is this allowed?Because you'll buy it anyway, faggot Non retards gave up on Pokemon decades ago. If you're even thinking about the price then Goy Freak has it's hooks into you already, so kiss their feet and be glad they didnt make it 100 for you, GTA6 style
>>739207778Because it's an entertainment product and if you think the price is too high you can simply not buy it. Hope that helps! :)
>>739210912This looks like a Palworld mod running at low settings.
>>739207778$80GKCYou're buying it anyways
>>739211289You wish
>>739207961Ok? 30fps is fine.
>>739207778Oh this coupled with the fact that you can't steal and emulate the games must have the poorfags seethingThis will also finally be the first gen where poorfags can't datamine and spoil everything in the game files
>>739209295>Do you really think the game is up to par with modern standards now?Yes.
Piggiés WILL cough up
>>739208204Die
>>739208835I make a little more than that in 3 hours and Im not buying games for $80 thats straight retardation
>>739210912If you compare this game and Scarlet/Violet.. the ONLY real improvement is the water/ocean and maaaybe some better shadows from the looks of it.The pokes look exactly the same and no real improvement anywhere... Anyway i guess this game is gonna be Sun/Moon 2 for real this time
>>739212280>Anyway i guess this game is gonna be Sun/Moon 2 for real this timeWhat’s that supposed to mean
I'm a pokefag so sadly I will buy it regarless of my good judgment and having pirated the last 5 generations.
>>739212279It's not retardation, especially if you make more money. It's such a small percentage of your total earnings it's laughable. The only people who bitch and moan and have a gripe with video game prices are retarded children. Back when games were becoming $60 20 years ago is when I started working I was making $8/hr which meant over a full days worth of work went into buying a video game. These days if you buy a game for $80 there's no way you're making less than $15/hr unless you live in bumfuck alabama or some shit where everything is dirt cheap. Which means in less than a full days worth of work you can buy a video game these days. Video games are literally cheaper than ever before. Also once you get a real job buying a video game becomes even more trivial. The median US salary is ~$64k or ~$1.2k a week. That means for the average person buying a video game is 6% of their weekly pay or 1.5% of their monthly pay. It's fucking nothing, most people are spending more per week/month on coffee/energy drinks/nicotine/etc. There's not even enough games coming out per year to make gaming eat into your finances because you just HAVE to buy SO MANY games. It costs me more money to do literally every single other hobby I have ever been involved with. It costs like ~$25-$100 just to golf for 4 hours. It costs me ~$2000+ a year to play hockey. A piece of music or production equipment is like $200 minimum for low end shit and $500-$1000+ for anything decent. I could go on and on and on. Real adults spend more money on basic necessities in life because they have to "oh weed whacker broke?" there's $200 gone. Video games are fucking nothing to a grown adult.
>>739207778WW*
>>739207882>$30I think you mean $40
>>739208845Kek, came here to post this
>>739207778fuck, gonna have to buy it still and have fun with it
>>739210610It’s happening and you can’t stop it
>>739213575Same. I guess they’ll show us when they pick it up for $65 on sale in 2030 lmao
>>739210912several shots in the teaser have those poke gas stations from SV so this is likely goings to be open world slop again>show all the cool parts in the trailer>don't show the other 80% of the game which is just open fields/ocean full of unnatural packs of pokemon meandering around
If this sells millions I don’t want to hear any bitching about gas and grocery prices any longer. None. No excuse for this pity party when $80 games are selling like crazy. My empathy will be completely destroyed.
>>739207778Pokemon games have too many browns in them to preorder now a days.
>>739213829all they gave the water was repeating moving textures it's not really hard to make water look like this, even dead island 1 had the same type of textured water like this and it's a 2012 game kind of surprised 2012 texturing can jingle keys into pokemon fans faces
>>739213996here's a better shot of the water and im not booting up the game since i alr beat it and not downloading it again just to prove a point
>>739210912wow, palworld really scared them into finally performing the bare minimum of what a normal console game is huh?
the next pokemon game could be $200 and 10 minutes long and the 20 million people who bought it would be raving about the>short and sweet experience>streamlined gameplayand would readily do so againthere's no winning with them
>>739207778>whyBecause people will buy it anyways and companies don't give a shit about poor people
>>739214119Even poor people can afford it. Video games are cheap. Only children who think everything should be free because they have no education think they are expensive.
>>739207778Good.
>>739207778>WiWaoh my god
>>739210610Don't get your WiWa all in a tizzy anon
>>739214201>childrenTendies you mean
>>739214283No, I mean children. Most Nintendo fans are like 40 years old with careers and disposable income. Also only kids resort to things like calling people "tendies" when you have a job and make money you can afford anything and everything relating to video games with fucking ease. I have a PS5, I have a Switch 2, I have 3 gaming computers running next to me 24/7 with a 2080S and 5080 in them (last one is like a 1660ti? it just does emulation) I have anbernics and a steam deck and 57" UW monitors and 85" 4K Tvs. This shit is fucking trivial.
>>739214283Tendies are employed adult men that still consume kids franchises. They have money.Children are the actual ones complaining about vidya prices.
>>739207778Because fags paid $60 + dlc back in the 7th generation. Enjoy the future you chose.
>>739207879$80 AAA games should run at 120fps with 8k textures that cannot run smoothly on a 5090 and only on next-gen hardwareEverything else should be $10 or less. The price of a football or less. The price of a lunch or less. It is only entertainment and deserves to be the same price as all other forms of entertainment.
>>739214201>Only children who think everything should be free because they have no education think they are expensiveAre you one? considering how you never thought of paying something off or down payment plans or even putting gas in your car, as well as paying off your car not to mention water bills, gas bills, electric bills and etc for your house, you think someone wants to spend 80$ dollars on a children's toy after that, let me guess you were one of those gifted people who were put in a rich Rothchild's family so i guess it doesn't matter to you, i don't envy rich people but they earn not retards like you who don't have to do anything to understand why people think 80$s is expensive it's not like a resort or amusement park
>>739214457>he thinks footballs cost $10>he thinks lunch costs $10>all entertainment should be the same valueHoly fucking retard
>>739207778Yes and? The game looks absolutely amazing
>>739207778Did anyone actually believe that they were actually going to price Wind and Waves at Yoshi pricing?
>>739212280>Anyway i guess this game is gonna be Sun/Moon 2 for real this timeI fucking wish
>>739207778You will buy it (twice) anyway.
>>739214495> considering how you never thought of paying something off or down payment plans or even putting gas in your car, as well as paying off your car not to mention water bills, gas bills, electric bills and etc for your house, you think someone wants to spend 80$ dollars on a children's toy after that,Lmao, first of all I'm a normal ass dude I made like $80k last year. My monthly expenses for my mortgage and utiltities is around $1500/mo. My girlfriend contributes $700/mo towards bills bringing down my total cost to roughly $800/mo. My car is paid off, and I have no outstanding debt. I also work from home so I typically only drive to things like my hockey games once a week or to the grocery store (.8mi away) and usually just share my GFs car so I get gas like once every other month or so for maybe like $15 for half a tank that will last me that long again. My paycheck after taxes and everything is ~$4700/mo so if you take off my bills then throw on like another $500 spent on food and shit I'm leftover with almost $3500/mo in cash. So no, I'm not part of some rothschild family, and I'm also not rich. I just live within my means because I'm not a fucking retard. My house isn't huge, I bought an affordable civic and paid it off and I don't waste money on things except going out for life experiences. It's not that hard to do.
>>739214575amazing? for a pokemon game, I guess. monster hunter world from 2018 looks better than this.
>>739214575>those 6 polygon plants in the right>amazinglol, lmao!
>>739214457>deserves to be the same price as all other forms of entertainmentyou think you do, but you dont
>>739207778Because Nintendophiles will buy it lmao>allowed Capitalism retard
>>739214862>My girlfriend contributes $700/mowell good for you, i used to work at oil refinery and get 2600-4300/mo for working at a multinational oil company and i still think it's silly to pay 80$ for game like cause not, everyone has those kinds of benefits a bunch of people are struggling to even pay for medicine subscriptions
>>739215229You do realize without that contribution I'm still sitting on almost $3000 leftover after paying all my bills right? $80 is fucking meaningless. In this day and age you basically can't leave the house without dropping $100.
>>739214575>Slap some plastic toys in a realistic forest>absolutely amazingTurn on your monitor anon
>>739207778Shit this better run as smooth as ass cheeks, double the size of SV's open world, and include every single Pokemon in existence if they're gonna be pricing it at $80.
>>739210539get a real job retard. this game will be shit anyways, don't buy itt. TNfag
ZA Switch 2 is already $70 so yeah, no wonder they're gonna charge $80 for this one.Hell, Pokopia was a brand new spinoff and it was $70.
>>739215287>You do realize without that contribution I'm still sitting on almost $3000 leftover after paying all my bills right? $80 is fucking meaningless. In this day and age you basically can't leave the house without dropping $100.>nigger never heard of the thought of of being slightly late for paying your bills, thats one of the reasons why im getting a roth ira.
>>739207879>they spend 6 yearsAll Pokemon games have a 2 year development cycle
hope it gets even more expensive
>>739215471Unless you're an irresponsible retard you should never be late paying bills, also not sure what being late on bills has to do with an IRA.>>739215485Honestly I'm getting to a point where I would like this just because I'm tired of listening to all these insufferable zoomie faggots bitching and moaning. Fuck it, make games $150 a piece and consoles $1000.
>>739207778That's not even in dollars you idiot
>>739207778>a few days after christmas
>>739215485Well the switch 2 will cost more next month or something
>>739215404Because they keep increasing Pokemon per gen you'll have less and less every time the gen number changes due to the sheer number, 400 base game maybe 300-400 DLC
>>739207778>WiWaScViSwShSuMo
>>739207778Because you let Nintendo and Sony both normalizing these awful prices.
>>739215684That's because snoys always lie
>>739215793>conveniently leaves xbox outside>the one that singlehandedly made dlc for monetization a thing
>>739215653I just want retards to pay more for their retarded games because it's funny. Pokemon and GTA6 should cost $200 for all I care
i doubt it considering everything else going on with their pricing policies
When is it supposed to be coming out?
>>739216615Next year, somehow they're not rushing it out for the holidays.
>>739215287You arent entirely wrong. Debt I took on pre-2020 I on a whim paid off this year, taking only 6 months to pay it all off because as costs have risen, so have my wages. So now what was a large ammount of debt is just what I have leftover at the end of the month and can pay off easily. I remember struggling to scrap $200 together for a cheap couch when I got my first apartment in 2016. Now Im deciding on the $4k or the $6k couch and whether or not the built-in mini fridge is something I would actually use. Considering I was spending $60 on games back in 2016. I dont see the problem with companies charging $80 for a game now. Its still well under inflation.
>>739215653>Unless you're an irresponsible retard you should never be late paying bills, also not sure what being late on bills has to do with an IRA.It's almost the same as having an emergency bank fund i was going get my 14yr old nephew into 401k once i applied him to one of the jobs i was working at once for 10yr+ after he turns 19, but more in your case it's a luxury that can easily be stripped away if you're negligent with the time you pay your bills, reminder a lot of things can add up to a point that it can put you poverty.
Still buying it.
>>739216806Because that slot belongs to the next 3D Mario
>>739216841it's a luxury standpoint of view it's not really if you need or don't, its fact it's an unnecessary price for entertainment, people trying to justify as 80$ because they find it "Fun" is subjective as hell, since anyone can find something that everyone deems as boring, fun, it's not going on a 1400$ dollar cruise which makes more sense, to actually be expensive considering the standards for cruise ship management.
>>739207778Cause Pokémon is the highest grossing media IP ever
>>739217880Cruise>$1400 for 7 days >When its done, its doneVidya>$80 for a minimum of 8 hours of first run gameplay, plus days if not weeks of additional time due to filling out dex, max leveling Pokes, pvp, replays, and so on>Own the game and can lend it to friends, family, and come back to it years from nowI dont think cruises are a strong argument for why an extra $10-20 for a AAA game is outrageous.
>>739218067>Translating:>I spend all my life acting like a neet and never go outside and socializespoken like someone who doesn't go outside, also its because it takes way more to manage a cruise than developing a game that you might put down after an hour or so, a cruise on the other hand is more worthwhile cause it actual lets you actually sightsee the sea and enjoy the activity while enjoying high quality food they have on a cruise, not mention the people you might get to know on their, so no i don't think a little pokemon games is better than a cruise ship that is luxurious.
Don't forget.>Game key card.
>>739212781>im a retard who spends my money on stupid shit cause Im a grown adult and I love corporate cock up my ass Good for you retard. Not reading your paragraph btw dickrider
>>739218462Anon, unless you are black and go on a cruise to act like an animal, or a swinging boomer couple, cruises are dogshit. Much better to just spend that money on a week's stay at a resort hotel and charter a private boat to take you to a nearby island. Cruises are the neet's way to vacation because you can pretend you went to places meanwhile you just stayed on the boat 98% of the time.
>>739218576>using fallacy argument because he's never been on a nice cruise ship besides the cheap onesyou've never been on cruise ship before I've been on the icon of the seas, which was way more worthwhile than A POKEMON GAME, floating bars, mini parks, 15+ pools, food that makes you feel like you're constantly dining a Michelin restaurant, you must've gone on those cheap ass royal Caribbean ships,your argument falls flat cause. you can say the same thing for fucking books which would not beat a whole ass cruise ship filled with said books, in quality.
>>739207952I remember when you could go to this site for unhinged, but somewhat intelligent, conversation. Sometimes.Now it's just fuckin retards, everywhere, all the time, and they can't even be bothered to spell their thread titles correctly.
>>739218931dude it stopped being that way in 2018-2020 4chan died in 2020 and now where stuck in its husk of porn ads and constant shill threads, now it's filled with bots that constantly spam the same image or same phrase.
>>739218893The nice cruises are $5k+ now. You have dated yourself by claiming they are still $1500. Maybe back when you took one grandpa. Nowadays you will be on a the jungle boat if you pay that little. Cruises are for boomers and niggers. Nobody else gives a shit.Well okay, Disney adults too. They go crazy for the themed Disney cruises.
>>739208845kek
>>739214575This is the new Pokemon Snap game
>>739219163>5000+ if going with a familyNo, they are not, unless if you went with your family then probably but, it was 1500 to get on the ship, if you don't also add the sum to trip to las vegas, nice way of outing yourself as a liar faggot because the only way it would sum up to 5,000+ if you were booking for the royal suite, so no you never went on no cruise ship and is making up shit unless you got scammed by a fake cruise ship site who got upsold by some fake trip advisor like a retard also this is utter topic change cause you can't argue the worth of entertainment for a cruise ship to a dinky ass pokemon game
and retarded pokefags and nintendies will still buy it>inb4 called a snoyyeah they’re pathetic too
>>739216841>Considering I was spending $60 on games back in 2016. I dont see the problem with companies charging $80 for a game now. Its still well under inflation.This right here is pretty much all that matters. $60 games started 20 fucking years ago. The PS3 had $60 games and cost $600 20 fucking years ago. Anyone bitching about paying $70 or $80 20 years later is either literally a child or brain dead.
>>739218570It's weird to summarize something completely wrong AND admit you refused to read it. What was even the point in replying to that post?
>>739207778Just give me more old game ports, I will not be buying nu-gen trash.
>>739220260jewish mindset >Oh its just 60$,s COME ON, oh it's just 70$ COME ON ANONNN- Oh its just 80$ what are you poor? and so on and so on until reaches 200$
$80 is kinda steep, shouldn't it be $70?
>>739220420$80 + $30 dlc is the best i can do
>>739207778no hard mode no buy
>>739220452don't forget it comes with an annoying and grindy roguelike with a rushed-out map with no footnotes to make it stand out
>>739207778>Why is this allowed?Why would it be prohibited
>>739220564the big V says so
>>739218067Everyone will buy full price + DLC.Normies will play 2 days and stop.Fans will do a single run through and leave until maybe something like a raid of a unreleased Pokemon happens.Collectors will play until they have a few shinies and end it if at all because dexit.The game will be forgotten in 2 weeks.And so the cycle continues.
>>739212781>Video games are literally cheaper than ever before.Too had literally everything else has gotten more expensive
>/v/ now defending pokemon gamesThis board truly was ruined after 2106
>>739220709*2016
>>739220742*2010
>>739220367Anon, 2 fucking decades of time have passed and literally everything else in life has gone up exponentially higher.Stop being a retard.
>>739220701Really the only thing that's gotten more expensive that actually pisses me off is food and electricity. Shits ridiculous while so much other stuff has actually gotten cheaper for me or stayed the same. Like, I know fags on here will bitch about computer part prices but they really have just gone back to pre 2010s pricing, I've dealt with that.
>>739221241still doesn't change the fact it's a jewish mindset
>>739222183It's not a fucking mindset, it's fucking life. You'll understand it when you're not a retarded kid.
>>739210912You always buy mediocre products and settle for the bare minimum, so it makes sense that you would do that
>>739207879It's the same primitive slop that they've been making since 1996, but with Dreamcast graphics instead of N64, and blatant price-gouging.
>>739222532funny, coming from a vocaloid tranny
>>739207778Switch 2 buyers will pay for anything regardless of quality. See:>nu Donkey Kong>nu Metroid>nu Mario Kart
>>739214457/threadAnyone who disagrees is a mindless paypig.
>>739207879Gen 9 is the longest gen in the history of the fucking series. Also we have a year of advanced noticeA fucking yearNot only that but we had 5 years of advanced notice for the switch 2 And we have 4 months of advanced notice for the switch 2 price hike. Over a year or you were paying attention.We are given so much time for free and people use that to bitch instead of getting a job, making a budget, making a savings plan, or making weekly investments with a 1% return.
>>739207961Basically every game on steam deck.
>>739210912>the year of our lord two thousand and twenty seven>nintendo finally releases a pokemon game that looks as good as Super Mario SunshineGood for tendies, at least they have next year.
People pay over $100 for early access to games like Saaros and Forza. Why is this an issue?
>>739208204...in 2006
>>739222607I'm not a tranny, stop projecting your fetishes onto others
>>739222656>people buying nu MetroidAnon, Prime 4 hasn't sold a million copies on either Switch or Switch 2 GLOBALLY. That means the absolute most it could've sold at this point is 1.98 million total. What the fuck are you on about?
>>739222824It's not an issue, people with standards are just laughing at retards.
>>739222851Like I said, Switch 2 buyers will pay for anything regardless of quality.Can you read?
>>739220260$60 was already a massive scam forced on us by Activision for no reason other than greed.I'm old enough to remember when games got cheaper in the 5th gen because the industry actually passed the savings from switching to CD along to the consumer instead of pocketing the cash and being even greedier .You zoomers will never know such a world, and will continue to rationalize the exponential increase in prices for games that are getting less and less worth it by the year.
>>739210912So any hope of actually getting full dex this time or will you have to mess around with PokeHome to get an complete pokedex?
>>739222897That's the thing. No one fucking bought it. The game completely and utterly bombed in terms of sales on both of Nintendo's platforms.
>>739207778Adjusted for inflation Pokemon Red & Blue would be $270. Why are you crying about $80, other than you being too low IQ to understand how monopoly money works?
>>739222936Gamefreak is literally incapable of putting every pokemon in a game. Kind of ironic.

WI WI WI
>>739222910Why are you calling me a zoomer? I'm 36. $60 came from the change from CD/DVD to Bluray. The only thing activision did was fuck us by charging the same for PC games, but it had nothing to do with the increase on consoles. Also, once again, I'm not a poor loser so $70 games don't bother me when the cost is nothing for me, they have literally only gotten cheaper as I have aged.
>>739209295That is the problem, being up to par with modern standards.

>>739215287>I can afford it therefore i should argue the price is goodyou do know that you can argue for things being cheaper. there is literally no detriment to you. Arguing to justify a rising price makes you look stupid. I don't really care if you can afford it.
>>739227943The point is, it already IS cheaper due to inflation I am paying less for video games now than I ever have. The only people who think they are more expensive has only been alive for like 20 years or less and doesn't comprehend anything.
>>739207778You should be grateful that they don't sell them for 100 or 120.Thank them, you spoilt brat.
>>739228042the $70 price tag on games is a recent thing, like the last few years. This is the first time I've seen an $80 game (at least sold as a standard game price) but regardless, why argue to justify the price change? Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean you have to let the company just do it. companies don't let you work fewer hours just because we have technology that let's you do more work in less time.
Plenty of people will buy a switch 2 for the sole purpose of playing pokemon, so it's really a $580 game.
>>739228315Anon, if the price increase is overall still cheaper effectively than what I was paying before than I'm not upset therefore I don't need to moan about it.
>>739216806They are skipping this year because of GTA, it took their usual spot in november.
>>739228574my point isn't that you aren't moaning that the price is more expensive, it's that you're justifying and defending the price change at all.
>>739228405DK Bananza was a great $570 game
>>739207778Yeah there's no way smash won't be $80

$80 might have bothered me until I was 21, but I make money now and am fine with spending the money if it's a game I like and will enjoy immensely. Even if I did this every month (I don't), that's $960. You don't have $1000 to drop on a hobby or pastime in a year? I've spent more on my bike.
>there are people ITT who are too poor to afford 80 dollar low budget digital only mobile games
>>739229461So much this lol. Gaming is so fucking cheap compared to literally everything else. I bet the average person spends under $500 on video games. Literally one paycheck worth of video games for the entire year at $15/hr which everyone makes at minimum these days.
It's because niggercattle like (You) keep buying this slop no matter what they do
>>739229461I think people's tenacity to pirate games has skewed their perception of media consumption. People complaining about RAM prices cements this, as RAM isn't something that needs to be upgraded at all, but it's likely pirates care more much more about raw performance because they care so little about media.
>>739228923It's unironically a third-world thing; they'll spend excessive money on things that aren't worth it purely so they can brag about how "rich" they are for buying it.
>>739229815Pirating and the more common indie "early access" games they can enjoy. Everything basically comes down to the fact that they've only ever known the last 10 years and think it's worse because in that relative short time it appears that way. Anyone who's been alive for 30+ years and been gaming since the 80s or 90s knows that this shit doesn't matter. It's why it doesn't matter if every zoomie in the world bitches up a storm, there's people in their 30s to their 70s buying video games with way more money.
>>739207879>they spend 6 years on making an $80 AAA title>AAA>pokemon
>>739230016Do you know what AAA means?
>>739230016>what's their budget for Pokemon this year>uhhhh more than A
i want to marry and have impregnating sex with poke hebes
>>739229461This is such a strange line of thought. I'm in my late 30s and grew up incredibly poor. I've only care more and more about how I spend my money as I've aged (and made more money). These days I simply refuse to buy any games at full price day 1, let alone 80 dollar ones. It has nothing to do with affording it or it fitting in my budget. It has everything to do with my greatly valuing where, how, and what I spend my money on and for what reasons. Why buy a full priced game when these days that game will drastically change over the next year with patches? Or will be potentially removed from market/servers and be made unplayable? I feel like the people who say "lol what, can't afford it?" are both larping as affluent and never experienced genuine firsthand poverty. Or you're just a consoooooming normalfag I guess.
>>739230251>I've only care more and more about how I spend my money as I've aged (and made more money)NTA, but that doesn't make sense. When I have less money I have to budget more. When I had periods of making a lot of money I was able to spend more. It's basic economics, and why the government wants to tackle inflation, and hands out stimulus checks in times where spending is down. More money = more spending. Stimulates the economy.
>>739230251>These days I simply refuse to buy any games at full price day 1, let alone 80 dollar ones.If I'm not inclined to buy and play a game day 1, the chances of me buying and playing it down the road at a discount are practically nonexistent. If I didn't care about it before, why would I care about it later.
>>739230251Who the fuck is waiting for games to go on sale or whatever down the line? If I'm doing that just like >>739230396 said. There's like zero chance I'll ever play the game at all. I usually buy day 1 if I'm interested and play it then move on. Time is money and waiting a year or 2 before saving $30 or whatever isn't very cash money.
>>739228996do you really believe that pokemon wont be $80 after Mario Kart is $90?
>>739230565it will be $70 because Mario Kart is $80/$50, logically speaking
>>739230565Huh? Mario Kart is $80.
>>739230372>When I have less money I have to budget more. When I had periods of making a lot of money I was able to spend more. It's basic economicsThis is the mindset of someone who doesn't want to build wealth and only wants to maintain. Of course you spend more in raw numbers as your income grows, but if your spending raises proportionally with your income your wealth will never truly increase. As your wealth grows more you have more opportunities for investment, more cushion for spontaneous decisions or longterm plans, a larger safety net in case of sudden events or risk taking. I'm not talking macroeconomics here, I'm talking about personal fiscal responsibility. My spending proportionally decreased as I made more money because I realized the effort and time for me to get there and recognized the privilege I have to be in that position. Again, easily understandable most people wouldn't think this way as they haven't truly struggled as hard as they think.
>>739230516That's a very naive and shortsighted way to assess it. The year is 2026, my nigger. Even singleplayer non live service games get years of post launch support. Why would I pay for the worst version of a game at 80 dollars when I could wait 6 months and get a more performant, better tuned, less buggy game with more content at a cheaper price? What do I gain, personally, from playing it day 1 at twice, or more, of the price with less refinement?
>>739230593>>739230615pyshical copy of MKW is $90, poketard autists buy only pyshical
>>739230620Anon as I've made more money video games have stayed the same price as everything else as gotten more expensive so I am spending less as my income grows.
>>739230683Anon I can't even remember the last game I bought and played that was buggy and needed to wait months for a patch on. Also most of my friends buy and play day 1 as well, I am not gonna be left behind when it doesn't matter to wait.>>739230685No it's not? It's literally $80.
>>739230620>This is the mindset of someone who doesn't want to build wealth and only wants to maintain.Anon, you've got a backwards way of thinking about life. If you wanted to amass wealth you would be investing your money, spending it. Hoarding money is fruitless because it will become worth less of itself in time.
>>739212870Is $50 really too much to ask?
>>739230691Well I'm happy for you, but I used to buy brand new video games for 40 dollars and now they're 80. The prices of other things I buy have certainly not doubled while providing me less of an actual product. >>739230742I think you're misunderstanding. Has nothing to do with games being unplayable levels of buggy and I have no idea how you inferred that from my post. I'm simply saying the games will get updates improving them, thus making the launch version the worst version. This is objectively true.>Also most of my friends buy and play day 1 as well, I am not gonna be left behind when it doesn't matter to wait.Yea that would explain a lot. Normalfag consumerism in full effect
>>739230683Nigger, why would I buy a game that sucks. If I can't be enticed on launch, I'm not going to suddenly care during a Steam sale.
>>739230776Investing isn't spending, and you're dumb to jump to the conclusion that I don't invest my money. That I care so much about my money is exactly why I don't throw it away buying games on day 1. It's not I that has this backwards at all.
>>739230816>I used to buy brand new video games for 40 dollars and now they're 80.3DS, my second favorite console
>>739230858>Investing isn't spendingok retard, never heard the phrase invest in yourself I see. No way you're investing your money when you're scrounging pennies on whatever it is you like. By the looks of it, you
>>739230828You have an incredibly narrow-minded way of viewing things. Not buying a game day 1 means I'm disinterested? Have you considered that I have many other games to play, many other things to do, a life to live, and don't find myself so unsatisfied and unhappy that I need to strictly monitor when a game comes out and play it immediately? If it's a good game it isn't going anywhere.
>>739230816What brand new games were you buying for $40 that became $80? Video games never had a $40 standard price except like Gameboy/DS games.>normalfag consoomerismAnon, what exactly are you doing that is better than me spending my copious amounts of money? I literally have thousands left over every month I could spend on shit. Spending $70 every 3 months or whatever on a video game is fucking nothing. There's nothing special for me to save for either. I have everything I could ever want in life.
>>739230913Not sure if you're missing the point on purpose or what. Most rich families (we're not talking richest in the world rich, that's a whole different level of fuckery) stay that way by heavily controlling their spending. You know very little of finance. >>739230929Gameboy is what I was thinking of for 40 bucks. >Anon, what exactly are you doing that is better than me spending my copious amounts of money?I'm not necessarily criticizing you spending your money. I have no idea what your financial situation is and don't care so I can't really comment on it. I was moreso commenting on the:>>Also most of my friends buy and play day 1 as well, I am not gonna be left behind when it doesn't matter to wait.Which is peak consumerism trap. You've been had and don't care. I guess one day you'll get it but you sound far too young right now.
>>739230928>Not buying a game day 1 means I'm disinterested?Absolutely, those day 1 sales tell the publishers "this is a game people care about, we need to support it, we need to invest into it" if you're really so -short sighted- as to think you can just piddle around about things you supposedly like, you have to be the most imbecilic and naive person ever. Do you go to the grocery store and tell yourself "I want things, but I do not want things for myself now"
>>739230928>Have you considered that I have many other games to playYou don't even hear yourself speak, "I have other things to play" of course you're disinterested, you couldn't care any less if you tried.
>>739231054...having fun with friends is now a "consoomerism trap" lmfao anon. Get a fucking grip. You're absolutely criticizing my spending lmao, otherwise you wouldn't keep calling everything consooming. Enjoying life is allowed, you should try it some time. Imagine being some fag worried about saving money and not hanging out with people all the time having fun and then boom you're dead at 27 or some shit. Fucking wasteful.
>>739231076>AbsolutelyThen you're a full on goy. Would you extend that logic to everything else? You didn't buy the new big mac day one, so you hate it. You didn't listen to the new album from Goyman 5000 day one, so you're not interested. You didn't go to the goyclub day one..etc etc. The rest of your post is borderline nonsense. It's like you're actively ignoring the reasoning I've deliberately explained in detail to insert some strange schizobabble. I'll address some of it anyways.>Absolutely, those day 1 sales tell the publishersI don't care. I feel no attachment to brands or publishers. I can love a product, respect the work that put into it, be open to playing more of said product, and still not care about the financial metrics of a publisher. Even this is an incredibly oversimplified way to look at it. These days many devs are burdened by their publishers, or are at odds, or any other myriad of pieces of context that would give this less weight in my decisionmaking. >Do you go to the grocery store and tell yourself "I want things, but I do not want things for myself now"Yes anon, spending money on luxury entertainment and sustenance necessary to continue living are the exact same thing. Good grief.
>>739231148>...having fun with friends is now a "consoomerism trap"Not what I said at all. I said feeling the need to buy a game day one because you "don't want to get left behind" is. I mean.. it literally is in the purest essence of it. It's FOMO. >Enjoying life is allowed, you should try it some time. Imagine being some fag worried about saving money and not hanging out with people all the time having fun and then boom you're dead at 27 or some shitThat's quite a lot of projection. Firstly you assume I just don't spend money, next you assume because I don't often buy full price games day one that I never have fun, don't have friends, and don't go outside? Quite the leap there little man. You sound upset, possibly because I hit the nail on the head.
>>739231369Anon, there is literally nothing wrong about having fomo for FUN with your friends. Calling it consoomerism is fucking stupid. The only person here upset is you, you're upset about people spending their money calling them consoomers and saying they have FOMO for living their life to their fullest lmao. Enjoy sitting at home in the dark by yourself with your pile of meaningless money.
>>739231436Who said there was anything wrong with it? Criticizing something doesn't mean it's inherently bad or "incorrect". The way you see minor disagreements in rational is extremely juvenile. You can be having fun with your friends and be partaking in consumerism at the same time. Is there anything wrong with that? Up for you to decide.>you're upset you're upset you're upset>Enjoy sitting at home in the dark by yourself with your pile of meaningless money.Kek. I really touched a nerve huh? You must be a newfag to be this angry over such innocuous comments from an anon.
>>739231580Consoomerism isn't a thing. It's a made up boogieman by gen z to use as a scapegoat for being broke as fuck.No one is upset, and I've been on this website for 21 stupid fucking years.
>>739231627>Consoomerism isn't a thingConsumerism long predates gen z>I-i-i-i-i'm not upset i'm just projecting and ad homing b-b-b-because i'm c-c-c-calm>randomly tries to pretend flex being an oldfag after I noticed he acts like a newfagWell this got performative quickly.

>>739231284>You didn't buy the new big mac day one, so you hate it.Correct, not a fan of McDonalds.>You didn't listen to the new album from Goyman 5000 day one, so you're not interested.Correct, never heard of the band.>You didn't go to the goyclub day one..etc etc.You're catching on fast anon, ect ect.You just seem to be adrift in a retarded hellscape of your own choosing.

To the point you no longer value said dopamine or what it takes to get there.>you don't desperately clamor to play game day 1, so you're uninterested in everything and obviously live an unfun and empty lifelmao what is it with you zoomoids and projecting so hard when your philosophy is under question? It's like talking to a toddler. So needlessly hyperbolic, all you're doing is reframing very normal things I've said into their hyper extreme counterparts because you don't have anything to respond with. Why even bother replying
>>739232006That's quite the simple minded way of thinking. Criticism can be objective, and it can be subjective. You can criticize good things, and you can criticize bad things. This isn't a particularly difficult concept to grasp..
>>739232078Your philosophy is self defeating. Now it's about self control, when it was about how you're not enjoying things you claim to be interested in, but you didn't even care. It's not even until they ring the dinner bell and say the "slop" is half off do you get to partake in hand-me-downs. You even go so far as to think ill of being excited about things you could like. That reason is simple, it's because you're going to "practice self control" and tell yourself you could be doing something else other than engage with what you claim to be interested in. It's over for you anon, you only have yourself to blame.

>>739232174>when it was about how you're not enjoying things you claim to be interested in, but you didn't even careNowhere in this thread have I ever said or implied anything about me intentionally "not enjoying things", lol. This is a completely fabricated projecting you keep asserting simply over my criticism of blind "I must play this day 1!!" consumerism. That's quite the leap and continuing to repeat it doesn't make it true. >It's not even until they ring the dinner bell and say the "slop" is half off do you get to partake in hand-me-downsAgain, have not said this or remotely implied anything of the sort. You're taking extremely rational and normal statements and twisting them into inanely hyperbolic, extreme versions and acting like I have any interest in arguing that. It's typical "flood with irrelevant information until other party grows tired" egoism.>You even go so far as to think ill of being excited about things you could like.

>>739230251I'm the anon you responded to. I grew up on fairly modest means, and while I'm not in the business of pissing my money away, I've spent my early 20s getting over the fact that if I like something, will use it a decent amount, and I'm not dipping into my budget, then I don't have to torture myself into making my purchases into "savings deals." I do buy games on sale frequently, but that's more the reality of getting to games later rather than sooner and not buying everything at once.>These days I simply refuse to buy any games at full price day 1, let alone 80 dollar ones.I'm not advocating for day 1 purchases. I'm saying that I don't feel the pain of an $80 purchase of a good video game anymore.>It has everything to do with my greatly valuing where, how, and what I spend my money on and for what reasons.Anon, critically assess why you think this is mutually exclusive with paying $80 for a video game. Do you fundamentally not believe any video game could be worth that money, or that the enjoyment you get not be worth the money? I think you've revealed more about how growing up poor has left an indelible mark of trauma around spending money to enjoy your life. >are both larping as affluent and never experienced genuine firsthand poverty. Or you're just a consoooooming normalfag I guess.I've never been dirt poor by any means, but there have been tough times in my life before. But if I lived my life as though I'm a meal away from starvation when I'm actually doing fine, I'd end up strangling myself from anxiety over nothing. My finances are healthy. My investments and retirement are sound. I have a roof over my head and food in my fridge. Why should I feel bad about an $80 entertainment purchase?
>>739230620>>739230858>>739231054Assuming you're not larping, there are a lot of implicit value judgements going on about the character of someone who buys an $80 video game. You're assuming this person doesn't budget out their entertainment. You're assuming they're financially illiterate or that there's no way they could be smart with their money. After all, they pay $80 for a new video game instead of paying $25 for RDR2 almost a decade later, because that's the smart and frugal thing to do. If you don't think a promising new Pokemon game that seems more polished than its predecessors is exciting, then simply don't spend the money. I struggle to see why you think people who like Pokemon would regret the purchase much less hurt when making it. I sincerely think you are projecting your insecurities on hobby spending onto people who don't share your coping strats or rituals.

>>739249596Pokemon haters bitch so much that they're basically at the level of nitpicking. They don't even know what the fuck they want and even if they managed to get their heads out of their asses whatever idea they come up with is going to be dog shit.
>>739249596>t. pic related
>>739249870derangement syndrome is when the product is low quality and is rightfully criticized, are you going to give a good reason to not criticize all the low-quality shit they've been doing lately it instead of repeating the same buzzwords
>>739207778You'll buy it lol
>>739209423This was ten years ago.
>>739207778>He doesn't make $500 a week wheeling stocksPathetic
>>739252639I am the first to criticize what they do. I am talking about something else.
>>739230135The highest budget game Nintendo has ever made was metroid 4 and only costed 100 million dollars due to being in development hell, this game even with the higher quality graphics won't cost more than 50 million dollars, so there's no justification in any way to charge 80€ aka 100$ at change for it, it's pure fucking greed.
>>739222402sure jew boy
>>739207778Pokemon Wawaweewa, very nice.
>>739209295>Do you really think the game is up to par with modern standards now?Yep
