I've never paid over $100 for a console game. PCBs on the other hand...
Luckily in most cases I'm able to restrain myself about "collectable" games, and stick to spending the big bucks on games that are actually fun to play, and costwise are proportionally that much better than a retail game.
I thought that was unsubstantiated?Quote:

SHIT GAME + HENTAI = SHIT GAME
Again, I love people who haven't played the games talking shit and/or wouldn't know a quality shooter if it hit them upside the head. Steam Hearts is what it is - a no frills shooter that is well crafted and quite fun. The whole H angle is SO overrated. There's a couple of still scenes and that's it - it is neutered compared to the original PC rev.Quote:

It's more or less expensive = NEVER lives up to the hype.Quote:

Dude, Tupac, its not that expensive = hate, its that expensive = it better be a damn fucking amazing game because Im not gonna be getting three "regular" games because of it.
You are very silly if you believe that a $130 game comes with the same expectations and mindset as a $29.99 game.
you're silly if you expect a game to be $130 amazing. That's the real problem as has been said above; no game is going to live up to these outrageous prices; you have to learn to appreciate the game on its merits, not on its price.Quote:

If you have the $130 mindset then you should just pass on every game above $50-60; simple as that and keep all of the derogatory garbage to youself. Don't hate :)
So are expensive games always better then?Quote:

Who said that??? Of course not, plenty of expensive games suck ass. That's fine if you didn't like the game; but don't put absurd expectations on it due to the price - you will almost always be dissapointed.Quote:

Hehe... and no one would buy one of my 3 guides for Disgaea at 15 bucks. I hope you're right.
Not really. Ken's still throwing a fireball whether I do it with an SNES pad in front of a TV or a computer. Playing games on emu doesn't give you a worthless view of a game, while it isn't the same(by definition) the differences can often be only marginal. If there are obvious problems with the emulation,or how the game was played through emulation, then what you've said is fine, but otherwise, its a silly comment.Quote:

As for high-priced games, I agree with this:
If you can afford it, and you enjoy your time with it, then I think its a worthwhile purchase in most cases.The cost isn't an issue. If you can't afford normal priced games and have to scrounge for used games and reduced price titles, I don't think its reasonable to expect that new $50 game to be that much better than the low-priced fair you're used to. However, putting up the money for that title is just as much of a bother to you as it would be for another to put up $150 for Radiant Silvergun, or another person with a higher income would wrestle over the thought of buying a full-on Smashing Drive cab or some such when he could pick up a few $200 PCBs. If you can afford it, then go for it. If you can't, then the problem is with your budget and not the game. Maybe you can consider saving or simply go for the quality games that aren't popular and go for remarkably low rates. Its what I do. I can't afford to put down hundreds of dollars on a game without suffering for a bit, but I picked up my two favorite games of all time for $12 and $24 respectively, so I don't really care to associate the price of a game with what I expect to get out of it as far as enjoyment is concerned. People hyping up a game to spark my interest can throw me off, though~Quote:
