What was the most expensive purchase you've ever made for a game?

I've not had access to a console back then, otherwise, I'd probably play it too. Did you play the previous ones too?

Would you consider NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection?

Suffice it to say I stopped paying premium long ago since you don't have to do it in order to enjoy gaming and waiting usually provides you with a better experience and a more refined product at a fraction of the price and that should be a good rule of thumb when gaming, regardless of the platform.

I totally agree with this statement. It's better to wait for sometimes if you can. Purchasing a game that just came out nowadays is a sure sentence to a long and painful death because games are not 100% finished nowadays. AAA and AA companies don't dare to set their game into the phase of Early Access and they end up screwing everybody over because of this kind of expectations we have for a finished game.

Btw, which side of Romania are you from?

Let alone these 3 games can keep you for years of gaming. Totally worth it I should say. 😋

Don't think I get you, can you explain?

Red Dead Redemption 2 - $40 on Steam and $50 for Witcher 3 GOTY Edition on PS4 disc (sold the game back for $30 through ebay) and rebought the game on Steam at 80% off and sold by PS4 along with all games.

This two games are totally worth it.

I never buy games at full price anymore. Got over 850 games, most of which are through bundles and deep discounts like 75-90% off. The only case was Witcher 3 (I got additional $10 credit card discount). $20 is the maximum I pay for big budget AAA games from major publishers, for AAs and indies $5-8 and for $2 or less for bundle material.

I can understand why. It's hard to keep up and finish all your games.

I'd rather have 6-8 good AAA games post 2 years of launch for $10 each instead of a single game for $60-100. Also never pre-ordered any game (not even cheap indie titles).

You don't wanna end up regretting or being dissapointed of the issues? I normally don't either, but sometimes I like to support game developers that I feel that they are trying to make a good game. E.g. Baldur's Gate 3 or Mount & Blade II: Bannerlords.

Was it worth it?

I've been thinking to play it. I really thought this game is another zombie game. I have it on my PS4. Should I get it on PC?

if u could only try keshops it would be 50% less ..........

So, money well invested. 👍🏻

I've gotten to Reaper of Souls, but didn't finish the game. I was planning to put the game down after that and call it a day. I can't see myself replaying it for many years. 🤔

I've never spent anything crazy on in-game items (my TF2 backpack history is a liar) but I did once buy a game with a really expensive price at launch. It was a mech game released by Capcom back in 2002 and it came with a pretty serious controller just for controlling your mech, and a serious $200 USD price tag which would equal about $319 in 2022 dollars. It was called Steel Battalion and.....

Bro, this controller is badass, but it's a shame it can't be used for anything else, or maybe it can if you can keymap the game.

.... okay I'm lying I never owned it but it's a pretty interesting story and a noteworthy part of video game history...

You got me for a minute. 🤣

View attached image.

I've gotten Defiance in 2014. When did it go free-to-play? I can't remember if I bought it or got it free-to-play and never actually play it. 🤣

At the time I bought the sims 2 with its expansions and accessories (second hand) so it was not so expensive. You got a good price for the sims 4 if you have all the expansions (is it worth it? I bought the base game and cats and dogs for 15 USD but I didn't get caught)

$15 is not too bad considering that you can do a lot in the sims with that DLC. There's infinite replay value, you just have to be creative.

The videogame in which I have spent the most and I can not stop is SMITE (since 2012) (2800 hours) I am sure it has been more than $1000 USD

That seems a lot, but considering that you've played for 10 years, is not too bad.

Put it in this perspective: Buy 20 AAA games worth $50 each and you've spent $1000.

And I've bought AAA games that I've only played for 1 or 2 hours, or I've bought games from Humble Bundle that I haven't even opened

You're not the only one my friend. I've not played 95% of the games won there as of yet. My backlog is too big.

I've had it on wishlist for a while, but completely forgot about it.

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. That's impressive as the game seems to deliver and worth the full price as people say in the reviews.

It's not a bad investment if you think about it. If it keeps you for ~520 hours you've well spent that money.

Well, yes, why not. I mean I've not mentioned video-games. 😄 So, what board game did you get?

I've heard that it's hella challenging. I am not sure I know much about the game as all I know is that there's some amazing gun play mechanics that really makes this game unique. I wish it was on Steam, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I don't like when there are isolated platforms or launchers like that.

But I do see myself playing this game in the future.

It's not a bad value for that amount. I think it was worth it, right?

Yeah, RDR2 is a game I own directly on Rockstar Launcher and I badly want it on Steam for no apparent reason but to know it's there. I'm still not willing to pay £20 on it since I already own it. I would buy it if it dropped to 75% or lower on Steam, which I doubt it would happen as of now. This game came out a few years back, but still holds up.

I don't find it as a surprise for a multiplayer game to spend a lot more money than an single player really. That amount of time played covers the costs. I'd divide the 10,000 Hours in £2,000 and get 5X the amount worth my time and still find it worth it.

What car did you own?

Have you've played it before?

And what a game it has been. I loved Portal 1 & 2 from beginning to end. The story really made up for a memorable puzzle game that I normally don't right away pick.

Was the game fun and worth it? 😮

Any physical Nintendo game, bur specially Pokemon Snap, that I bought pre release. They are ridiculously expensive in my country, like a third of the minimum wage. Do I feel kinda stupid? Yeah, but I also miss having money and enthusiasm enough to hype up a game like that.

Nintendo charges the most out of all the companies and lately, with some of the game releases, like Story of Season and Rune Factory 5, I don't find the justification for a full price when the games run poorly on the Switch.

I also almost bought a physical copy of the Atelier Arland trilogy. That piece of plastic was more than double the price of any Nintendo game here, about 800BRL. Luckily I came to my senses and realized I almost spent the equivalent of a month's rent money in a stupid game with no added features, no collector's edition bonuses, nothing.

Well, that's because the games are portable, but don't you worry... Steam Deck is going to take its place. You'll be able to afford your future games if they ever come to Steam.

Have you've played it recently? It's not yet what they promised, but at least, it's decent.

Woah 😱 that's a lot of money. But you do have 3,400 hrs on record, do you find it worth it overall?

Per non-online title that would be 100 PLN (around 25 EUR at the time, 3 or 4 years ago), for PS3 rare game. Not sure which title, but it would be something like Ni No Kuni: The Wrath of The White Witch and Silent Hill: Downpour or some kind of collection release.

Still not played all of games, but Ni No Kuni was great (almost 80 hours).

I see, I have seen it many times on Steamgifts, but never really got into it to check it. Thanks for the recommendation.

As online game, I think I have spend over 1600 PLN (400 EUR) in span of 3 years I played LoL. Not worth it until I sell account (which I cannot, by ToS)

Spent a little less than you did, but I don't plan on selling my account. I would never sell any of my accounts, even if I would spend hours on end and could make a lot of money. I have sentimental value with that account.
