I see the "$60 for a year old game!?!" comment more and more.

As if "Game of the Year" editions never existed.
As if Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock didn't cost $60 when they were ported to PS3
As is EVERY game that released in 2015 costs less than $60, now.
As if RotTR doesn't technically push the PS4 Pro, offer all of the DLC, AND an exclusive PSVR mode.

It's not a rip-off. Fun doesn't have an expiration date, does it?

But it's perceived as an old game now. Everyone was talking about it a year ago, yes. For the PS4 launch, you didn't even get a lot of reviews by gaming websites, few articles, a bit of marketing only... And on the other hand, you have a lot of new games or future games eveybody talks about, so it's really not surprising that people didn't even notice this one released on PS4. Also, the best seller PS4 bundle is the Uncharted 4 bundle. If buyers want to buy another game with the bundle, it surely won't be Tomb Raider, it's too similar (and others PS4 owners who already played UC4 don't necessarily want to buy a similar game at full price now with so much other games releasing).

It's almost a stealth release at this point, the price is only one issue. It's not a rip-off, but considering everything going around this game since last year, the other issues of the launch, the marketing, the timing, the fact that it's found easily a lot cheaper on PC... The price is just an additionnal reason to not buy it for now.

I understand that. I just don't like it. It sucks seeing a game that, in my opinion, is better than literally 99% of the available games on ANY console getting pooped on daily. Yes, Square made some questionable decisions but that doesn't change the fact that a great game is available for purchase right now and nobody appears to be interested in buying it. Only talking about it.
