The last game I bought at $60 was Doom Eternal (and I even regret that). I don't care if a game is made of apple cinnamon heroin; there's no way I'm spending $70 on it.
I know I got my copy of the game mainly through trading in old games I didn't play anymore. After playing through half the game, I traded it in for something else. I did not like the level structure and pacing of the early game and the halfway point was not helping. I don't regret trading it in.

That 'FFVII remake coming to pc on the Epic store' rumor/leak has proven to be true. It releases next week. It includes the Intergrade dlc.
Another €80 game tho. Not that I would've bought it from Epic anyway.

EDIT: recommended specs quite reasonable tho. Either Squenix did a good port job, or they're lowballing.

Unless it’s a game I really want, I might just wait for it to go on sale or a price drop. 70 is pretty crazy to spend on one game.
How about $90? Cuz that's what they expect us euro folk to pay. Granted, that's sales tax included, but even taking that into account, they still charge us about 5 bucks more.

Hurray, next-gen prices are coming to PC.

Of course, being EU, that means another extra 10 gets slapped on for no good fucking reason. Why yes, I am stoked about games getting €20 more expensive.

It's fine tho, I've found an easy solution: not buying these games. Sorry, not sorry Squenix, fuck you very much for the offer tho.
Wow. That price point can fuck right off. I mean, I'm going to pay the £50 for Total Warhammer 3 through gritted teeth because I know how many hours I'll put in. But at that price it's not even going to be worth a punt at a 50% steam sale unless it a game you know you'll enjoy a lot.

I know Max is going to be all over it when it launches, and he's going to pay it full price. He can have at it.
I'm all over it for the Modding potential tbh. I bet there are going to be CRAZY fun Mods for the game. Holy shit I am a fucking sucker! I'll buy this game everytime it releases because I am a jackass!

The truth hurts, doesn't Ubisoft?
More likely butthurt fans who hope each announcement from Ubisoft will be actual good news, not a reaffirmation of the direction Ubisoft is taking that specifically alienates Gamers™

And they can give two shits about how unpopular it is. In fact the dislikes are a testament that they don't need fans, only mindless consumers who use their services. Worked well enough for EA because fans are fickle and turn on you in an instant.

But that's okay, you said you don't play AAA games so the truth doesn't even hurt Ubisoft. Papa Tencent is soothing their sore butts with money

If there are idiots that don't want to listen, they'll have no one to blame but themselves despite the warnings we give. They'll shout "Save us", and I'll whisper "You had your chance; it's too late."

I don't play most AAA games. There are some that are still on my list, but not many, and certainly not from the Unholy Trinity.

And whatever mindless drabble you're going on about, it's loud annoying static I am not even paying attention towards.

No, I'm beyond that sort of thing now. I've learned to go without. Guess I'll just have to get the pixel remaster off steam. Of course I'm never going to hear anything other than Machinabriged now.

There is a Mod team called Tsunamods that is modding voice acting into FF7 on PC. Every line of dialog is getting recording to be voiced.

Fun fact, I am playing an old man NPC in the mod :)

That's what you get when you allow porn on your storefront Steam. The only exclusives Steam will be getting is porn games who don't use DLsite anymore.
