Why is this game $60?

[Tackier]

I mean at max you're gonna get an 18 hour story, maybe 16 or 14, are people really willing to drop that much on a singleplayer game they'll likely only play once? I think the game would get more sales and net a higher profit if they charged $30 for it.

When I played through some of the demo I did like it, but no way in a million years would I spend that kind of money on a game like this. Everyone's money situation is different, but I can't really justify it.

yea i should be no more than $40, it doesn't look or play like an aaa budget game

the replayability in these games lie in the different builds u can make plus multiplayer.

this game looks to include both, so 60 bucks is more than fine.

dark souls is a short game, even shorter if u beat it before. prolly about the 18 hrs u claim this will be.. but its sure as ♥♥♥♥ worth every penny. i got hundreds of hours in it.

i hope beyond hope this game is only 20 hours. then ppl like u can cry after u spent ur money, while i can enjoy the gameplay over n over wit different builds enjoyin multiplayer.

[Heiinz]

Well if a game is fun i will replay it from time to time. Played the demo 4 times already so i guess i will be fine.

And as OwnzOr, Dark Souls is a very short game. I can easily finish it in way less then 10 hours yet i have more than 200 hours in the remaster and almost 250 hours in prepare to die. I don't do much PVP (only when i get invaded), so that is purly me playing the story.

Also, how did you end up with 18 hours? Do you know something the game director does not know?
Because he says 30.

[Peggasaurus Rex]

Yeah, director said 30-60hrs for the game, which is plenty long, especially when you tack in replaying it to make different choices for a different ending since it seems it will have that. Most games with the exception of particularly big, open world ones are only about 20hrs or less these days to begin with.

[StubbsPL]

Are you joking? Each dark souls and bloodborne were full price and this will be as long as those games

Yes it does play like a AAA game... shut up

[Bean]

People like you are the reason developers bloat their games and make them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious to play nowdays.

[Lucifer_]

base game is at least 25 hours. could be more depending on how much you struggle with bosses. if you don't think it's worth $60 then play it on gamepass

[Maximilion13]

I just want to punch in the face anyone think of games prices should ever be considered by how long the game is. even if it's 200 hours and it's ♥♥♥♥ it doesn't worth 1$

also, this game is not 18 hour. go beat it then come back

LOl

i am 23h in and 60% through
and no i didnt struggle with bosses.

The game probably is a solid 40h if you play normal

btw i did finish dark souls 3 within 22h on my first playthrough

This is definitely longer than base Dark Souls 3
Its 100% worth 60€
Its by far the best non fromsoft Souls Game

[roddy]

To give you context, as of checking achievements now, around 8.5% of players have reached all endings, meaning they've finished the game at least 3 times. Personally, I love soulsl/likes, but rarely go into NG+, or ++, the exception being Nioh 2, but this game convinced me to play through 3 times.

That's just how good the gameplay, and mastery thereof, in Lies of P is.

[Ant Ra]

The 5% usage fee for Unreal engine is priced in. This makes the "usual" price of 60 money, i guess. Whether without this fee, however, the game would be sold for 40 money, I still doubt.

[Elymnir]

Game time is important to consider (I also judge wether I'll buy a game or not on this point) but there are other factors too. Here you have a game that looks quite good, performs well from day one, which is quite rare nowadays, proposes solid gameplay and experimentation as well as replayability, not only in terms of builds, but also because some stuff unlocks only on NG+ and beyond.

Considering the general quality and polish this game offers, I'd say the 60$ price mark is well deserved. Granted, 50$ would probably be a bit more fair, but still, to my eyes the game deserves its 60$.

If you can earnestly beat this game in under 20 hours your first playthrough, without restarting or studying.

You're a God of gaming.

I'm almost 40 hours in and I'm just facing Laxasia

[Poyzo]

I got three playthroughs worth (all three ending achievements). I plan to come back when the DLC hits, and even if it doesn't, Lies of P will remain in my favorites to play every few years or so. I love this game!

As for the price, going to the movies is... what, $7? $7 for a two hour movie. $7 x 8 (movies) is $56.
