Any video gamers on here?

Holy shit...$400USD for GTA 6 collector's edition. What a fucking rip off.

Only game collectors edition I bought ever that was appealing was GTA 4. And I believe that was over $120 or something.

$400USD? I'll be shocked if it doesn't flop. That doesn't even include a physical disc which is another $100 just only a digital copy.

It will sell out. I heard the same about PS5 Pro. Good luck getting one now at MSRP.

$559 CAD? Plus most gamers would want the ultimate edition over the standard which is kinda another rip off so people are paying an extra $30 for ultimate just to get more stores in the game. That should all be included in the main game like GTA SA was. This is why I'm not a huge fan of today's gaming industry. I am getting the ultimate.

I can't believe some fans will pay $559 plus $130 for the ultimate edition. That's about $779 with tax. A standard console is that much.

What is up with the lame spoon? The Oakley shades are laughable, but I guess folks into designer shades will eat it up.

I think it's meant to be one of those drink mixing spoons from bars

Never played borderlands, so bought the first one and the handsome collection. Spent all summer playing Yakuza though, the story, combat, so peak.

Yakuza really is amazing, one of my favourite series by far

$559 CAD?

Skip the collectors edition.

Diablo IV has gotten Hella better now.

GTA VI is probably the last game I will pay full price for. Bought a Rog Ally Xbox X and will just go through my backlog now.

I feel sorry for gamers who spend +$90 on a game with less than 10 hours of storymode. Especially if there's multiplayer and it's weak.

Sadly a more common occurrence than not which these companies fail to realize and wonder why they bomb

 

[leaglebeagle]

I think the last game I paid full price for was GTA 4's collectors edition. This will be the only game I'm dropping $140 just for the ultimate edition.

Rockstar can have it.

I'll probably only get to play up till GTA 7 or 8.

Then I welcome what is to come.

One by one, each developer that ive loved disappointed me going back to Mass Effect 3 from BioWare. I get a lot more value from well made Indie games. Still pick up Hades 1 once in a while.

because they're constantly going through employees they lose all their original talent and end up with people who know nothing about the originals making sequels that try to emulate the originals but fall flat which is sad to see

This week I have been playing Reality Break, it's a twin stick space action rpg with a time loop mechanic and the ability to "rewrite" things including story beats. Story is a bit "short" but it's the kind of game you tend to replay for the meta progression and the number go up bit. It's on sale right now for $20 right now on steam and DLC is $10 which adds new ships, some new game mechanics and a bit more story

Right now I’m playing the Witcher 3 remaster. CDPR has a phenomenal track record for high quality, good value RPGs. I’m really enjoying my time revisiting the franchise after so long.

As per usual, the game launched with several non-game-breaking bugs Stuff like characters A-posing or missing their face geometry. I love some harmless Euro-jank.

I’m interested in GTA as a cultural phenomenon and as a multi-billion dollar megaproject. It’s got so much money and dev time thrown into it that it’s essentially its own class of game. Over a billion dollars poured into the budget!!!

And there hasn’t been a piece of media with so much mass attention since the peak MCU. This will be a popculture touchstone for years to come.

I've been in the middle of my semi yearly ME replay so fuck this hurts.

This looks really good, Wow. I heard Donnie Yen was in someway attached to this too? Is that true?

 

[Geee]

As you know, there is massive amounts of prejudice from earlier gen x and boomers against video games for whatever reason.

As a Xennial myself I've seen it from boomers but not really from X'ers but that might be because I hang out in a lot of nerd spaces.

I slapped multiple pokemon stickers on my bike

I had Disgaea Prinny stickers on my last bike and my current one has a custom made Jolly Roger magnet.

Out of all the places..I never expected to read about Reality Break on an escort forum lmao

I have it but have barely played it. Polish isn't there for me sadly but I should give it a try again.

I was the same for a while, played for like 4-5 hours then put it aside but with funds being as they are right now I am getting the most out of the stuff in my backlog and things that have high replayability.

what a shame , their last games have been mediocre but they've had such good games it's a shame to see them go like this

Yes... Every movement is mo-capped (motion captured) in this game.
Donnie Yen plays a part in it as well.

Picked this up a few days ago on PC. Patiently waiting for it to come out later tonight. I've been loving the slew of Chinese Wushu style games that they've been releasing. Might be because I've been a major Kung fu movie fan since I was a kid
