What's the difference between buying a Character in Smash Bros and buying a car in GT7?

What's the difference between buying a Character in Smash Bros and buying a car in GT7?

Oh that's easy. Horizon FW, worth more than $70 imo. Absolutely amazing production values, quality from start to finish. It did have issues with the 60 fps mode but they did rewrite their upscaling methods and fixed it in the end. Story, characters, world building, all perfection for the 100+ hours I played it.

Ratchet and Clank was also more than worth the admission price, not a single glitch encountered. Polished to perfection.

Both games a big step up from their previous gen outings.

GT7 however, a lazy cash grab that continues to be a disappointment. It looks great though. It's still better than Halo Infinite, but not by much. PD and 343 really need to be held to account at this point. FS2020 can be thrown on that pile as well at this point. Sure they add a lot of content all the time, but refuse to fix the basics and actually make it a worthy flight sim.

The rich continue to get richer by allowing giant mergers stifling competition. Not by adjusting prices to reflect the reality of exchange rates and inflation. Comparing Sony's 3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie to 69 Billion acquisition of an entire segment of the industry, lol.

You believe the games you mention deserved to be sold at an extra $10 over their own predecessor? Not one of those games mentioned are considered better than their previous games.. Unless Visuals is all you are looking for. 

With your very own logic, the next gen after this one, games should be raised again by another $10 based on visual improvements.

This game below is NOT worth $61.64 US let alone $70 US. You continue to support price hikes, we will continue to see ridicules prices on all games.

Crazy that you bring up MS's purchase of Acti/Blizzard. Ironic that MS spent $69B and have zero reason to raise their hardware prices yet Sony's small purchase of $3.6B of Bungie, we are seeing $50 Price hikes of PS5s around the world and Sony being one of the front runners of $70 games. Interesting right.

I agree to disagree.

The graphics actually gave me a migraine, twice. Then I switched to playing on my 2007 1080p LCD projector in quality mode for stable, non migraine inducing detail! The HDR visuals were a bit much for my old eyes.

However I spend much more time with the game compared to the first one. I didn't need a break this time like I needed with the lackluster opening of the first one. I enjoyed the expanded story, fleshed out tribes, expanded lore and machines to fight. Yes it was worth an extra $10 over the first version.

Same for Ratchet and Clank, I enjoyed it a lot more than the ps4 version which was just a remake after all.

The price hikes have nothing to do with acquisitions, as you so perfectly demonstrate with MS not needing to adjust prices for their 69 billion office money investment. The difference however is, what I already explained pages ago, US$ went up verses the Yuan, Yen went down versus the Yuan. It's cheaper now for MS to produce their boxes, while it's more expensive for Sony to produce their boxes. Also the Euro, Sony's strong hold, lost value against the USD.

Anyway as you are so concerned about the rich getting richer, you should really be more wary of MS.
Microsoft net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 was $72.738B, a 18.72% increase year-over-year
Sony net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 was $7.604B, a 29.42% decline year-over-year
Nintendo net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 was $2.750B, a 594.93% increase year-over-year.

I guess Nintendo didn't do so well last year. Anyway who is the rich getting richer here?

I don't know Smash Bros, but I haven't spend a dime on MTX in GT7 and have all the legendary cars...
