The price is so high

Too expensive. I am an old hunter. I always played Monster Hunter 2G and 3G with my PSP when I was a young. I can't believe the price now.

People working at McDonalds in California are making $15/20 an hour. That's less than a days worth of work for the standard edition.

This example doesn't work when you factor in all the other bills and costs in life.

Well. I graduated from top 30 university in US with CS major, but I don’t have a real full time job now. But I have to say, the price is still high for me. I need to pay many things in my life.

Personally I haven't bought an AAA title at release in years. It's not that I can't afford to buy them, I simply refuse to buy them at these prices. Most of the times AAA games are a mess at release these days and need some months to get good and within a year they'll be on sale. Once their fixed and priced more reasonably, I do buy the AAA titles I want.

As long as the game is playable offline and comes on a dics, I sometimes even wait a couple of years and buy it secondhand fro my Xbox for just a few euros. To me the game will still be new, I don't need to play games on day one. They're just as enjoyable in a couple of years after release when a game is played solo.

Picked up MH World in a bargain bin for €5 for the Xbox and even better deal than the lowest price on Steam.

Regular is $70.

Premium Deluxe is $110.

Welcome to the age of modern gaming, where you'll see games absurdly priced and poorly optimized.

Bro is right, the game is so poorly optimized, lmao

For well-optimized games like KCD2 that will easily run at 60 fps on a 1060.

Wilds on the other hand is a disaster and requires a far more power, and expensive, computer than it's visuals deserve.

The price of living is also higher in California.

This is why some people need to go back to school.

for now, lack of contents and performence make me disappointed little. maybe around april or june would be better i guess

New game, AAA price. It's not going to drop anytime soon.

MH World costs 30€. 10€ on discount days. I think you can get World + Iceborne expansion for less 20€ on discount. That's a really good deal.

back in the time of MH 2G a bowl of noodle were $10 now it's $20 to $30. inflation happen. I am actually surprised the price stay the same for game for such a long time without much inflation until now

It's expensive, but games have barely gone up in price compared to the cost to make them and while a lot of us might not care about the latest graphics etc...the loudest people do :P
