| Shadow1980 said: Here's the history of game prices in the U.S.:
Games are cheaper than ever. But what about content? Well, has that guy ever played old 8-bit & 16-bit games? They weren't exactly bursting at the seams with content. Except for JRPGs, most games back then could be reasonably beaten in one to three hours. Action games with massive open-worlds offering 40+ hours of content in a single playthrough was something that just didn't exist 20+ years ago. By any objective standard, on average we are probably getting the best value for our money from mainstream AAA experiences. |
Indeed. The US has had a very sweet deal.
The rest of the world though... not so much. Though to be fair i should only speak of europe. But well... it is true that new gen AAA games are coming out with intrusive DLC practices, and despite the american situation, i just can't aprove of that.
