In the span of just a few months, $80 games have gone from an all-new idea that nobody liked to a reality that more and more of us would have to deal with.

Lol, no. I'll just wait.

i had more fun in starfield

Feels like I am one of few who loved it. It is in no way a 10/10 game, and it leaves a lot to be desired. However, the story was so good that I was able to look past all that. For me it felt like a mashup of New Vegas, Borderlands and Mass Effect. Set in a dystopian capitalist hellscape in space

jumping around with low gravity and shooting people is fun. its why im also replaying borderlands pre sequel for the 5th time

I will not disagree with that, but it's painful when Bethesda games are enjoyed for the gameplay and not the RPG/narrative/quest elements

Well, I had fun with Anthem's gameplay so I understand

People batted eyes. Batted them all the way down to target to buy Mario kart. Online outrage doesn't mean shit if the game still sells.

gettin real tired of them trying to normalising games being this price

Shame that we're in the minority of gamers.

It's worse with Nintendo too. Barring it becoming a mega hit like Baldur's Gate 3, you can bet that you'll be able to get this game for $40 (or less) within a year.

Nintendo games don't get discounted like this.
