That‘s what I thought. I wonder if there was any game they could‘ve made in this genre that would‘ve met THEIR expectations. There‘s money to be made for sure, but THAT kinda money with a fighting game? Just no way.

The [c]ash-in button

Their marketing dept. - if they have one - has to be insane

It‘s already thick in sarcasm through their phrasing alone

I don‘t really get the fuss then. If people are crazy enough that they can’t wait 6 more hours to watch an ad… then they gotta pay the crazy tax.

It is scummy to charge money to see an ad, but why would you pay money to see an ad to begin with. As if that trailer or whatever isn‘t gonna be everywhere within an hour. Someone‘s gonna screencap and upload it and since it‘s GTA 6, it‘s gonna spread like wildfire, so no problem anyway. The attempt is indeed scummy though.

Just trimming some fat (and a leg or two)

I was looking at that recently as well, but saw the reviews are at mixed now…

From a casual standpoint: Hidden Object games. There‘s not enough good ones (and lots of games tagged as them which really aren‘t) and I find them so immensly relaxing.

Examples: Hidden Folks, Hidden through Time, varying sorts of 100 hidden Cats

Basically „Where‘s Waldo“. Really just wish there were more of them.

Something from a Cities Skylines DLC nobody played.

All of my 0.01ish% rarity cheevos are largely easy af things from DLCs or content updates of (somewhat) popular games that were released when most people had already moved on from these games

The really fucking hard stuff is usually around 0.5-3% (CoD BO3 zombies cheevos are insanely common for how hard they are)

Do I think it‘s objectively overpriced? No, it‘s the biggest game on the planet that will sell stupid amounts almost no matter what they do. I‘m actually surprised it‘s not 99.99

Do I think it‘s subjectively overpriced? Absolutely. I‘m not paying more than like 25ish bucks for a game. The games I paid more for (mostly launch games) I’ve come to regret the majority of. They mostly just sit in my library and become part of the already huge backlog.

Playing it currently and it absolutely does (1 did as well tho!)

Amazing game(s). I played it for 3 hrs on my Switch and then bought it on Steam to play it on my Deck at full res 60fps cause I wanted to experience it the best way I could.

The good thing was that games were complete and they didn‘t try to suck ever last penny out of you post-launch. Also, no updates meant they actually couldn‘t just ship them broken and fix later…
