If I anticipate that a game will only last 10 hours of less, then I'll probably wait for it to be $20. I just don't value games enough for me to buy them full price when I know they will be cheaper later. I'll be getting a rental service soon so actually I want have to worry about any of this though. Also, I disagree with the idea that games have become shorter compared to last gen. From what I've played, action/shooter games have always been around 10 hours long and that hasn't changed. The longer games were RPGs, racing simulators, and open world games, which is the same this gen. I don't see what's changed. |
I understand totally, but I never said games have become shorter. I said the price of games was fifty dollars and there was more gameplay in each game, because back then thats what it was all about and we accepted it or bought the game used from Gamestop. With the advent of online gaming and indy games this generation, it seems to have forced consumers to think long and hard about what is worth sixty dollars, fourty, twenty or even five dollars. We might be headed to an age where that becomes the mode of payment for a type of game.
