GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically), food and education.
Mhmm. Everyone is shitting on Nintendo, but the reality is their games are literally keeping up with inflation. The problem is that our wages haven’t kept up with inflation, and the cost of living has, at least, kept up. In some cases (rent), it’s grown faster than the inflation of everything else.
Don’t get me wrong, Nintendo is tone deaf for making this decision now, and I suspect they’d still make billions with a $15 price increase rather than a $30 one. I’m not defending them. But the picture is a lot larger than them.
If Nintendo always made games that didn’t need dlc or got free updates, didn’t require Nintendo online for full functionality, or had to pay a 30% platform fee, it would make much more sense for this price. I don’t believe for a second they won’t make a profit at $60 for their mainline games.
You’re also forgetting maybe the biggest factor: library selection. We used to have a lot of choices, but not literal thousands of choices across all our platforms. If we only had our choice of a few hundred games, $80 might sound more reasonable.
theres also the chance that at least for TTYD, that was a players choice version of the game, which retailed for 20$ new. since its 2006, on the wake of the Wii
City of Heroes, everything by Atari Games, the Wizardry series, the Ultima series, many others. I’m old, and I remember some of the games, and developers, we’ve lost.
Your comment made me finally get around to setting up Homecoming (hooray WINE!) and I just got to the character creation screen… I haven’t played since before it went to free to play what is all of this stuff? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll feel like I’ve come home once I’m running sewers, lol.
From my two days of playing a year or two ago, they unlock all premium features and expansions for you at the onset, so there’s a bunch of extra stuff.
I’ve heard of them, I might consider trying one someday, but the research and effort to set it up is an obstacle. Plus I don’t run Windows any more, and I don’t even know what Linux support for it is like.
Want to be elitist… but one time when I was a kid I started tossing all my empty water bottles in the closet. Cut to 3 months later and there’s 200+ spilling out 🙃
Controllable by Mrcrayfish. He’s an old Mod Developer and his stuff is almost always pretty high quality, so i know it will play nice with most things. It even has a built in radial menu for things i can’t bind to buttons
Sometimes you think you say the right thing, but you didn’t, and you’ll have to live with the consequences. This is a major part of the Witcher games, that your actions have possibly unforeseen consequences that you’ll have to live with.
Accept that Triss has made her choice. If you don’t want to be with Yen, then don’t be with anyone, that’s completely fine.
Kinda. The website was inactive for a few years there, and only recently started updating again. The author was focusing on Patreon, which was reportedly porn of the VGCats characters.
