Coelacanth, do gaming w Elden Ring live-action film officially in development
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Spoiler alert: for an authentic representation of the game the movie will just be two hours straight of:

“I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella and I have never known defeat”

TransplantedSconie,
DibbleDabble,

And the Director’s Cut would have 8 hours of it.

SteevyT,

You don’t thing “OH THE PAIN…THE EXQUISITE PAIN…” needs to be peppered in there?

Idk. I think gamers are overly upset about $80 games. While I am sympathetic to not wanting the price to go up, the fact of the matter is that brand new video games cost pretty much the same as they did 30 years ago, while the cost of everything else has basically doubled in that time. I know it’s probably not what is going to happen but if $80 video games are what it takes to get us away from shitty microtransactions in full price games, then I’m all for it. I know the crowd on Lemmy will just say they should make less profit and do neither but that’s just not how the world works right now and nobody is going to do that.

Food for thought- here are some prices in 1996 and today

New video game: 1996- $67 (Super Mario 64), 2025- $70

McDonald’s Big Mac meal: 1996- $2.45, 2025-$9.29

Base package Honda Civic: 1996- $10,360, 2025-$24,250

Average apartment - 1996- $550/mo, 2025- $1,540/mo

Median annual income- 1996- $20,109, 2025- $50,200

Doesn’t one of these stand out?

inclementimmigrant,

And let’s take this outside of the myopic view of only looking at inflation.

visualcapitalist.com/video-game-industry-revenues…

Console gaming revenue: 1996 - 7 billion, 2022 - 30 billion

Let’s look at specifically Nintendo here since we’re talking about Super Mario 64

www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2001/011121e.pdf

2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.

www.tweaktown.com/news/84668/…/index.html

2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.

You forget that in 1996 the gaming pool was also magnitudes smaller compared to today and despite all of the whining about increased development costs, which I also think is bullshit but that’s a different conversation, profits have increased to keep up.

So my opinion, no there’s absolutely no justification for a 80 dollar price point when you look at the over all picture.

Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

Or wait the number of years it takes to be on sale for $20.

Fuck you, I’m not paying $80 for a game so an executive can get a new Porsche.

If I was a real fan.
Nah na na na na na na na na

Thank you Gwen Stefani for saying all the na’s for me.

Im always thrown off as a Canadian when I see these headlines because we’ve been paying $80 for games for decades.

Video games haven’t risen in cost with inflation and they’re much better and bigger now so I’m not super upset, but they are now at the point where I won’t buy a game at release or full price. I think the new price here is $93 cause that’s what the new Indiana jones is going for

What I hate most is that the game actually costs $150 and they split it and give you a stripped version for $80. I think gta 4 was the last game i truly felt made sense, game releases, we buy it, story dlc comes out later we get it, transaction over. No online bullshit that tries to keep you paying money into the game without end. Not a game split into little chunks and sold as tiers at release

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Video games haven’t risen in cost with inflation and they’re much better and bigger now

I agree with the bigger, but not better tbh

MoonHawk,

No one is asking them to grow x50 for every successful game they sell. Sure they have more expenses but how is it in any way relevant to the consumer? There’s no shortage of studios increasing budget massively and then shitting the bed when it comes to quality and actual gameplay. They are literally doing that to themselves.

    I bought the full collection last year for like $50. $20 for the first three and all DLC, and like $30 for the complete Borderlands 3 (I had gotten the other ones so decided to just get the full series).

    Then I actually went and got Wonderlands and had an actual blast playing it.

    Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!

    Point is… I’ll play something else.

    Listen here, just wait for Menace to release (By Overhype studios) now that’s a proper turn-based game

    Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn’t written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS

    Since I didn’t enjoy the handsome collection I wouldn’t buy it at any price, but even for games I do enjoy I wait until they are on sale preferably with the DLCs included

    The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?
