Who’s going to be able to afford to spend that much money on just a single game? Not to mention the hundreds of dollars you’re expected to fork over for a switch 2??
>>749023998Get a job
>>749023998I only buy nintendo games physical then resell them for $15 less than full price so they only cost $15 to me
>>749023998if you cant afford $80 for video games and especially Nintendo games that are worth it for the quality then you shouldnt be playing video games.
>>749023998Nintendo started selling 60 dollar games in 2012 with the launch of the Wii U.They are literally giving you a discount relative to inflation.Poorfag.
Why else do you think mobile games and gachas are just better now? A good gacha is completely free to download and play, you just have to not be unlucky to develop a good roster; and it’s worth to spend on guaranteed 5 star paid summons; you get much more playtime compared to shelling out like 80 bucks for a switch 2 game you will not play because you’re too tired at the end of each day or even the weekend compared to being able to play a mobile game on your commute or in bed
>>749024067>especially Nintendo games that are worth it for the qualitykek
The point is to make life too expensive for anyone who isn't at least a billionaire.
>>749024252NIntendo are the only ones that make games that make $80 feel cheap because of how good they are.
>>749024334They feel cheap, but not for the reason that you are pointing outI pirated Legends ZA and I still felt ripped off.
Those are $60 games with $20 of DLC. You're essentially listing the Deluxe Editions. The only exceptions to that are Mario Kart and Fire Emblem.
>>749023998Like every cancerous trend it was steamies who just could not say no to bloated drm botnet launchers and now that they got you all trapped inside and defending them to death they have no motivation to ever have a good sale ever again.
>>749024067Unironically thisI got priced out of “higher end” Lego sets when $500 became the new $150, but I don’t complainI just moved on and only buy the sets I love when I can rationalize the purchase
>>749024531Why are you just accepting like cattle being priced out of things and hobbies you love?
>>749023998Why is Elden Ring 80?>>749024068That's not how inflation works.
There will be a correction in pricing but not until we hit triple digit prices, humans are simple, and paying $100 is different emotionally to them than paying $99.99.
>>749024464You're defending Nintendo in the middle of a steam sale. Are you dense?
>>749024370So you don't like video games.
>>749024863I can tell you don't have any hobbies outside of vidya. Sometimes when you're deep into a hobby you'll see a price and then you'll think it's way too much for what it is.For example, I'm big into gunpla but there's no way on God's green earth that I'm going to spend almost £500 on the PGU Nu Gundam.If it was a sazabi now
>>749025458Don't listen to the obvious sonyfag.
>>749025458Nintendo just had a tariff sale retard
>>749026945>tariff>salekek
>>749026945>all switch 1 games>for a whopping 30% offCucks genuinely don't understand people not being cucks
>>749023998almost every game on my steam wishlist is under $20 right now
>>749023998Nintendo has definitely decided to become a luxury brand. It's like a pair of Louis Vuitton pants costing $750, but in reality they were made for $15 by some fucked Asian guy living off noodlesFor $80, I can buy about 10 games on Steam during a sale + regional pricing, and many of these are ENHANCED versions of what I can buy on the Switch.
>>749024937>Why is Elden Ring 80?the dlc and the horse armor dlc includedthat plus tendie tax to be allowed to play it at a worse framerate
>>749024067>if you cant afford $80 for video games and especially Nintendo games that are worth it for the quality then you shouldnt be playing video games.>that are worth it for the quality >worth it for the quality nintendo games are something between brand safe shovelware and lobotomy simulators. a disingenuous type of colourful, piss easy, hand holdy, time wasting collectathlons. in the age of quality indies Nintendo is just not worth the price. it happened with Sega and Sonic mania. people that grew up with these games just do it better than nintendo. for me; the Swith 2 is an excellent console for playing pic related.
>>749027175WrongI guess I'll just pirate this garbage. I wanted to buy it for the VR mode, but the fat fuck refuses to sell me the frame.
>>749027428I forgot to add the image, literally fucking kill me
>>749024067>Nintendo games that are worth it for the quality
>>749023998I think it's fine when you're buying true physical Nintendo games. For everything else just get a PC and pirate.
>>749026556>You don't like a shitty cutscene simulator with a broken battle system ripping off palworld? You must hate vidya
>>749027423literally better value and pure gameplay quality than most first party switch games.
buy a pc. adult playing nintendo is crazy, stop living as a kid and experience some creative games and not just the same 5 franchises recycled for 30 years.
>>749024457>Those are $60 games with $20 of DLC.>totk
>>749027551I can keep posting indies that humiliate nintendos $80 scams
>>749023998nintendo consoles without piracy are for playing their like 2-3 a generation huge mario/zelda/xenoblade releases and nothing else, the exact same third parties on steam cost an absolute fraction of what they try to charge on the e-shop, it is absolutely not a main driver system unless you love throwing your money into a furnace and i say all that with a switch 2 right next to me
>>749023998people with jobs (adults)the intended audience: kids nowyadas are playing f2p mobile games
>>749023998you can completely ignore what's contemporary and still have a lifetime's worth of games to dig through and try out. not my problem.
>>749027423well dweller is mid as fuck, they just copied silksong but made it so easy a retard could 100% it.
>>749027098yeah or I can get some 5 year old slop on steam for cheap!
>>749029890As opposed to buying 8 year old slop for $40-$60? The shills are not sending their brightest this morning, huh?
It's funny how consolefags always deflect to PC when someone points out that they're getting fleeced for no extra benefit.
>>749030186Nintendo by definition does not create "slop", every single game they release are classics that will be remembered 20-30 years from now. Whereas every other non nintendo game is basically just disposable forgettable trash.
>>749030806>The biggest game this year for Switch 2 is a remake>The biggest game of the summer was a remake>The biggest original games this year were a Pokemon Animal Crossing conversion and Tomodachi Life (also on Switch 1)Who are you trying to fool? My eyes work.
>>749023998Steam Sale.
>>749030806>tendie copeNintendo made Chibi Robo Zip-Lash and that should have gotten the whole company shut down for what it did to my GOAT Chibi Robo
>>749029691>they just copied>nintendo finally making an open world game in 2015 and pretend they invented the genre bruh>>749030806>Nintendo by definition does not create "slop"delusional. nintendo is the definition of slop. the only fresh nintendo-type games are made by indie devs.
>>749030806FF7 Remake was released at $40 when it was already 6 years old. If you want to play a downgraded port of DMC5, it's 40 buckeroonies on eshop while I can buy the definitive version of the game right now for $7.50. How much is Mario Kart 8 today?I'll never understand why you all defend the turbokikery that is the eshop. >pay more for games that are worse than the ones you played 20 years ago, and in some cases, pay more to play the exact same game you played 20 years ago!Cattle behavior.
>>749023998nintendo is 100% fucked 1 or 2 gens from now.kids and families aren't buying $500+ consoles and $70+ games.nintendo exclusively appeals to 30+ year old nintendo fans, and there will be no new fans for next gen.I say this as a 40 year old boomer who just bought a switch 2 for oot remake.kids can't afford this shit.
>>749023998Just buy games for dirt cheap in the superior store on the superior platform Steam
Factually because of Nintendo and their Switch 2 "premium" price precedent, despite every game on the console that's available on another system (which is factualy the vast majorit) being the worst version available (which will only get worse over the next couple of years once next gen consoles come out and PC specs improve. Do not buy Nintendo consoles or games. Total waste of money.
>>749023998What if I told you it's not just games, it's everything
>>749023998It forces you to make friends because each one of you can buy a different physical copy and then lend them to each other, something Playstation and Xbox don't want you to do and that you just literally can't on Steam.It's fucked up that high prices are disproportionately hurting lonely incels like this and Nintendo is the only company that expects you to have friends, it's not fair bros............
>>749031306>I'll never understand why you all defend the turbokikery that is the eshop.As a fellow thirdie it's really simple: when you invest sooo much of your limited money, you develop a parasocial relationship with the company. it's the same with Apple. The reality is that you just get less for more money. But these companies justify their prices with an elusive idea of "quality". ie hot air. as a new Switch 2 owner, i reasonably like the hardware but the games are a total scam. $80 for DKC was a fucking joke. indies is the only way i can justify my purchase.
>>749023998It'd be less of a big deal if Nintendo games fell in price over time, but some games like Zelda have actually increased in price.
>>749024252>>749027423>>749027482seething bitch made snoyggers.cope over it.>>749023998>dishonestly trying to pin this on Nintendo when sony was the one who first hiked game prices to $70 well over 3 years ago-200million karma to ziony
>>749030806Mario Tennis Fever, Metroid Prime 4, ZA, Hyrule Warriors AoI aren't slop?
>>749031835>cope over it.>shovelware that no one talks aboutsure bro how will i ever cope.
>>749031926Ericfag literally believes prime 4 is better than all other prime games
>>749031929You fags seethe daily over this supposed shovelware.You literally can't stop yourselves from being enraged and discussing it. So way to prove yourself wrong.>>749031926There's literally nothing wrong with Mario Tennis Fever or HW AoI, so no they aren't slop.MP4 is a damn fine game just with a rough plot.
>>749032113how memorable are said games going to be though?
>>749032113>There's literally nothing wrong with Mario Tennis Fever or HW AoI, so no they aren't slop.>slop is not slop
>>749032113This nigga is butthurt
