Why so expensive? Should it not be £ 49.99?

[karmazyn1]

The price point is more than I would expect. Why the game is valued so high? I will wait for sale, I just cant justify the price point. Is this ok.

its 60 buck not 70 buck like the other AAA game

£50 is $65 USD. So, it's a bit more for people in the UK. In Canada, it's $80 CAD, which is the typical AAA full price.

£49.99? its £54.99.

Its more expensive on here than it is for a physical copy for PS5 on amazon. What the hell is up with that

Buying video games is a luxe nowadays in my opinion cause back in the days we had the normal edition for like 70 or 80$ but now just the normal edition is at least 100$ and the ultimate edition or gold edition for like around max 130$ and now it's like around 160$ ( oh and it's Canadian dollars )

Ultimate edition is like normal edition was 5 years ago. The price increase plus locking game content behind $ 130 paywall is a new normal.

Games of this quality cost a ridiculous amount of money to make and take on a ridiculous amount of risk.

I feel like 2024 has barely had any great AAA games this whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ year so far and I'm sick of indie ♥♥♥♥.

My advice, don't buy games on launch.
Wait for reviews and if you can, wait for a sale too.
Hype can cost you a lot of money :)

This is a good advice.

In Australia its 89.99 for basic and 149.99 for ultra edition im having a hard time justifying the price as well

$93 CDN for xbox X standard, $150 after tax for Gold. Little bit cheaper on steam as usual.

This is like telling a crack addict that he should wait until the crack goes on sale. I need my fix, man!

It's easier to do once you have a large game library.

I have over 1,000 games on Steam (and hundreds more on other platforms), if counting launchers which launch multiple games. Lots of them came from free game giveaways, though lots I purchased. Most of them I haven't played, and they include tons of newer games I'm interested in and haven't yet played.

I've gone through they cycle of wanting to play something and buying it, only to throw it on the pile of games I haven't gotten around to playing so many times that I'm not really tempted to buy new games anymore, as I know the same thing will happen to them. I look at them in interest, add them to my wishlist, and then continue slowly chipping away at games I bought ages ago. I'll buy the newer stuff when I see it's at a large discount.

Having a huge library of unplayed games has greatly slowed-down my new-game acquisition temptation and purchase rate. Only wish it had happened sooner, so I'd have saved lots of money.

But I'l be getting Space Marine 2 for free when it releases, as it was a bonus with my AMD 7800X3D purchase.

You can see where the quality is going though, this isn't some pure non campaign, co op game like Darktide. This is equivalent to a new Gears of War. We have a nice 6 to 8 hour co op campaign, very in depth PVE operations mode and PVP multiplayer.

Considering I just spent the same on many great singleplayer games (wukong,Elden Ring) I feel we are getting a good deal.

Plus the game looks great, early access previewers said it played really well and only thing I won't condone is dropping extra 30 on early access. I am tired of that scum tactic but sadly the monke brains of the modern world eat that crap up like fresh mcdonalds fries.
