This doesn’t mean anything. Something only has as much value as the customer is willing to pay. People don’t want to pay more than $60 for most new games being released today and companies need to accept that.

Fuck what it cost years ago.

Same goes for everything else. You could make the same argument for cars and trucks which are now reaching $50k USD for base features. Still doesn’t matter. Still overpriced.

Let’s talk about what we’ve lost too. Games used to come as a complete edition. Now you get the game and it’s unplayable on the first day without an update and even then still has features broke, waiting for an update weeks or months later. Not to mention DLC.

I think that’s why they’re doing it only for the new ones lol. Nobody cares to play their new crap so nobody is noticing

I have a hard time trying to determine whether I like 3 or 5 more, myself. 3 was my first FC game I ever played and I fell in love with it. So much innovation at the time and a really good story to complement.

5 is similar in a lot of ways. A lot of new stuff was added, like actual helicopters and now planes, which added air warfare to the game in even more fun ways. Plus the companions. So many to choose from and such fun characters to have alongside you, including animal companions, which was really awesome. A fucking bear and cougar following alongside you was so badass. The story was great too. Something that was a bit different than a warlord but still a psychotic maniac. Probably also helped that the setting was closer to home for many of us and some of us find that more fun.

The map was also great. Very large and a lot of things to do. I loved how it separated it between 4 maniacs and not just one too. 3 bosses to fight and then the main villain.

Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.

So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe

Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.

Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.

It’d be nice but would hurt indies because indies thrive due to not needing a physical port, and only releasing one once they are popular and successful enough to afford it.

I guess you could include some verbiage that would target AAA studios, but they’ll find a way around it like they do everything else.

And at this point, I’m not really fond of most AAA titles anyway so this won’t do much for people like myself to care anymore. Physical releases are something I care about less since other issues have arisen over the years, specifically in the quality of the game, itself.

I had the opposite a few years ago where someone I called for support had chickens audible in the background lol.

It’s ironic considering their early days in gaming. They were targeted by Universal over a BS lawsuit for using “Kong” in Donkey Kong and him being a gorilla like King Kong.

Now they’re pulling the same crap on smaller people/businesses and also working with the very company who did the lawsuit to bring their games to the movies.

Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?

I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.

They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.

That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.

I always thought the abomination that is SaaS came from Adobe
