I weigh the worth of a game based heavily on innovation. Did it invent the wheel? Did it re-invent the wheel? If so, those types of games are worth the big dollars. Games like SMB 3, Chrono Trigger, DKC, Streets of Rage 2, Super Mario Kart, Sonic 2, Super Metroid, GTA 3, Resident Evil, Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Sillent Hill, OOT, Mario 64, MGS, Megman 2, Contra... games like these are worth their prices, imo. If a game is just going to be something that I play, enjoy, and then ends up collecting dust for collections sake, I devalue them. That would mean almost 100% of modern games. They just aren't inventive enough. More derivative. Not classics. They can be good, but compared to the games that came before it, I just don't go back to them. They don't captivate me like the older games did, so I can't really see spending all that money on them when I can spend it on the best games of all time instead.
