It’ll go on sale for $15 eventually. I can wait.

i will continue to enjoy my indie games that cost me 5€, thanks.

better yet my free games like warframe that have cost me nothing and given me thousands of hours of enjoyment.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Seriously! I got a $50 steam gift card for Christmas, bought one full price dlc (Shadow of the Erdtree) and like five or so indie games that I’ve put way more time in!

echodot, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

Wasn’t the first game entirely average? And now he wants $80 for the sequel.

The only thing that stands out thinking about the game is the dialog choices you get when you play through the game with really low intelligence. I think it gets the best ending.

Just as heads up, Obsidian, I’ll require this to be at least 75% off if it’s good and over 20 hours of single-player campaign. If it’s shorter, I can be enticed at 90% off. I’ll wait for a few years, no problem, my family group backlog is in the thousands.

Goodeye8,

Them: "we don't set the price".

You: "I'll buy it if you set a lower price".

So people don't even read the headlines anymore?

zecg,
@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

No, I’ve seen it, that is feedback and it should be invaluable to all interested parties, not only those who set the price.

Games were $60 three decades ago, inflation hits us all.

Doesn’t matters the masses will complain online, bit still pay it.

Everyone can play your game 🏴‍☠️

But can we focus on optimizing games so thst it runs on the most potato of potato PCs ??

I think that’ll work wonders along with the pricing

commander, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

I’ll play the game in like 4-5 years like how I played the first one years later for way cheaper. So cheap I couldn’t be disappointed with the writing and just enjoyed the solid but unremarkable game

Microsoft makes the world worse again. Fuck ms, go linux.

FartMaster69, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

With all due respect, outer worlds is a $40 game at best.

As a huge fan of Obsidian I strongly agree with you.

echodot,

I think I had it on my wish list because I was never going to pay full price and then when it came down in price I looked again at it and I just thought nah, I actually don’t care. So I never bought it.

They’re not exactly starting from a solid foundation.

If any game was going to get away with being $80 it’d be something like grand theft auto or one of the next call of duties, not this one. But maybe they’re trailing it on a game that they know will only be moderately successful at best anyway, that way they don’t lose huge amounts of money if it fails to win over players.

Support your local libraries. My city’s library system is so good that I borrow games on release day all the time. You get them for 1-2 weeks, Most games that are older than a few weeks you can keep for up to 3 weeks, which gives me plenty of time to knock them off my list. Im sure I’ll get this one soon enough, im currently playing AC Shadows which I borrowed

Psythik,

Borrowing games from the library? How does that even work? Do they give you a Steam login and just change the password every 2 weeks or something?

Jankatarch,

Imagine they just crack it.

Bartsbigbugbag,

There’s these things called consoles, that let you put a disk in, they both contains the game and a license to play it. Though these days some games just sell an empty box with a code to download the game.

Psythik,

What a bizarre concept. I doubt they’ll ever catch on. We already have computers, and you don’t need any fancy “discs” or “empty boxes” to play games on them, either. Just download what you want straight from the internet.

Bartsbigbugbag,

It’s great, I can lend my friend the games he doesn’t have, and I can do the same with his games. In this way, we can play many more games than we have the money for. Especially useful since we’re in the US, and internet infrastructure is still poor here, his only option is satellite, which takes far too long to download anything.

Psythik,

Yeah but who needs friends when you have millions of random strangers on the internet to talk to? The infrastructure issue is a problem that I’m too urbanized to understand. My neighborhood alone gives me the choice of cable, DSL, fixed wireless, and fiber. Move to a place like this, and you won’t need friends or these newfangled “con-souls”.

Joeffect,

Unless it’s a switch 2 then all you get is a key on the cartridge… Biggest waste of time on both sides

Bartsbigbugbag,

Some games, some are on cart too. Switch 1 is actually probably the best because just about every game is fully playable unlike ps and Xbox which require patches often to run alright. Switch 2 I hear cyberpunk is fully on the cart, but I doubt many publishers are willing to pay for the bigger carts, so we’ll probably see a lot of third parties be just the key, which is ridiculous.

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

Ah, you’re one of those who think only pc gaming exists

Panda,

Not sure how it works nowadays, actually! As a child I would borrow PC and PlayStation games from the library. They were physical copies of course. But with Steam keys and all I’m not sure!

I honestly don’t know, but my local library apparently has something similar.

sevan, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

I bought the first one for $20. For the second I’ll play on Game Pass, if it is available, or again wait for $20. Maybe even less if I forget about it, which I might.

JcbAzPx,

One of the theories behind this game’s price is Microsoft is trying to force more people onto the premium game pass.

Wishes everybody could play

Good news!

As long as it doesn’t have Denovu, we can!

Blumpkinhead,

What is Denonvu?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

A DRM that is notorious for being not only hard to crack, but also causes performance issues in the games that use it.

Maalus,

Denuvo, not whatever you said

    It’s what I do with Denuvo games. De non vue.

    The evolution of game design has basically been dead for a few years now, so shouldn’t the process just get cheaper?

    Lemminary,

    For AAA games, maybe, but not for indie. The best and most innovative games out there are not made by major studios.

    mostlikelyaperson,

    Obsidian hasn’t been an indie for at least 7 years now.

    ms_lane,

    This is a ‘AAA’ game.

    Lemminary,

    I meant generally about game design. I’m not talking about this game, although it looks interesting.

    Fidelity and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the budget size
