Will it ever get a sale? Is it worth $45??

[SilverFox]

I have been really interested in this game I have watch the trailers and have seen the development and thought this game could out do Pokemon! However it being in early access and already this expensive I am worried this game might become a money waster.

1. Isn't it 30 instead of 45?
2. If you played one of the recent pokemon games you surely have enough money for it
3. Sale at least half a year if not a whole year
4. If you find the game interesting just buy it, play it for 2h and decide if you want to keep playin it and enjoy the new content coming + mods when they release support for it

Oooooor simply wait 1 year and check the reviews.

1. Its $30 USD, which including tax and CAD conversion comes up to $45
2. I have never been able to afford Pokemon, I got Violet as a christmas present
3. Thanks for answering the sale question :3
4. If I could afford to buy it and try it this would not have been a question

No. If your disposable income is limited, this is not worth. Though to be honest, if your disposable income is limited to begin with, no game is worth.

You're better off spending time looking for employment that makes it so that 45$ is insignificant to you.

well they did say they will do regional pricing so we see on release

8% federal sales tax, then provincial sales tax, which is different in every province. In quebec, the two together comes out to 15% tax rate. They lowered it a few years ago without changing it, because they finally stopped charging the provincial tax on the federal taxed amount, which is illegal.

[SilverFox]

Canadian tax is ridiculous...they gonna nickle and dime me to death XD

[SilverFox]

My main concern right now tho is extra costs inside the game. I know a lot of games right now block certain things or features behind a paywall and I am wondering if this game will be one of those that you have to pay every month to get certain things

I mean the games not out yet so no one really knows for sure, but in all honesty if you have limited money to spend on gaming I doubt it. Former game of the year contending titles often go on sale for 25-20$ range in USD (got both nier automata and god of war for that price range) and for most of the best indie games thats the base price. (looking at dead cells, hades, and even more niche titles like crosscode)

Not saying the games over priced to be clear, if its a good open world early access game in a genre with limited entries this is roughly what I would expect, but if your limited on money to burn while gaming there's like a few titles you could look into before this for this that will likely have higher reviews. And just waiting for a sale might turn this 45$ from 1 game to 2.

Or of course this could end up being the next ark where despite the jank it turns into one of the most popular games ever made in which case I'll shut up.

Get it in xbox pass then.

Ark is mods, and Palworld will have mod support, as soon it gets implemented then modders will keep this game alive for years.

Don't get me wrong mods help ark a lot, but the game's 100's if not 1000's of hours of content without mods. And has an amazing gameplay loop on top of that. Mods cant take a 5/10 game to a 9/10 most of the time.

I'm waiting for gameplay and reviews to drop before making any decisions personally

Dude, the game isn't even released and you're already asking for a sale? I get it, we all want cheaper prices, but it's unlikely to be on sale upon release.

I have had multiple games do a pre launch sale so with it being early access I was hoping lol

So far i know they said something like possible dlc content if the game performs good and they reached end of EA (or at least when they have all 140 Pals that they want to do if i remember correct).

But if they make modding real you will have unlimit amounts of stuff/content to play with (if they provide dev kit or something like that so it's not limit to unofficial stuff etc.).

And you should be able to get your money back as long as you don't play longer for 2h, so if you still worried that the gameplay isn't good enough you can do that.

Or simply wait 2-3 month and see how game is going (ง •_•)ง which if you haven't enough money might be the best choice
