How can you compare FF9 or Mass Effect 3 on PC with the latest games on consoles and claim its just cheaper on PC therefor?

FF9 for PS1 costs 15€ physical or 10€  digital for PS3, Mass effect 3 can be gotten for 3€ used on PS3. Not all of these 1000 steam games were full AAA games when you bought them.

Ahh Mr I dont know Math measuring stick.

More than half of the steam games I have are AAA games (regardless of how long ago they were released) - just because I dont buy games day 1 blindly like most people who dont know how to manage money doesnt make the games non-AAA when their price goes down. Along with that even if they are ports of old games, doesnt make them non-AAA. FFIX will always be a AAA game, majority of the games especially with the big named RPGs these days, dont even hold a candle to it.

I've gotten AAA games which were full price on consoles when the PC versions were cheaper - prime examples include the Resident Evil games.


Its been proven multiple times with games that were released this year even. Resident Evil 7 and Nier Automata were both 20-30% cheaper on PC on the first week of release compared to console versions - its amazing what having competitive resellers (GreenManGaming, Humble, IndieGala, Groupees, BundleStars/Fanatical, Amazon Digital, etc) can do compared to something like PSN which is limited to one or two stores (PSN itself and Amazon Digital only).

As much as you dont want to admit it, every third party multiplat is cheaper on PC than on consoles regardless of whether its on day 1 release or within a few months of release - this has been proven so many times, even you made a thread about how a game was cheaper on PC than on console few months ago lmao.

 

Edit: Dont bother responding back because reading your posts makes me lose brain cells, I dont want to lose my math skills.


Anyways I'm done with this thread, Star Citizen is not my cup of tea and I dont really have much faith in this game.

Haha do you feel uncomfortable talking to me? 

You just pointed out that all games are AAA titles during their release, but this is true for consoles games like on PS3 or PS1 which i have mentioned above, which can be cheaper on their respective console.

There are a lot of ways getting comsole games cheaper on day 1. I got Nier Automata for 55€ by going for a UK version or Tekken 7 for 50€ digital from the UK PSN store, as their currency is less worth now (they normally cost 70€).

In the US there is Best Buys Gamers Club Unlocked that makes new games cost 20% less, so 48$ instead of 60$. So no there are plenty of opportunities in getting games cheaper, especially later on when they are PSN/XBL sales and also more used games available.
