Says the dude with the waifu profile telling everyone else that we are dumb for spending $70 on a new game, i can only imagine the types of dumb items you have spent more money on than this.

i have a real waifu and man, the prejudices are unjustified. i hesitated for a long time to get one but always talking that it's crap but having no idea is embarrassing so i invested the 200€.

customer service is first class and the quality of the fabrics and prints - hands down.

The winter can be long and cold for all I care. The dog also sleeps on it because the cushion is so comfortable.

Give it a shot :D

Because inflation finally caught up with the gaming industry. Anyone acting like an extra $10 on the price tag is too much after how much the world economy got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up after 2020 is just blind. Do I like it? No. Do I understand why it's necessary? Yes.

Is it necessary? It is only necessary because companies wont accept making less money than the quarter before last. SO I don't really believe it is necessary, but I do get why it is happening. Because no one's salary is going up at the same rate, believe that. It is literally not sustainable.

I mean, that's the cost of games now. All publishers are launching their biggest AAA games at $70 now. It's a 100 hour RPG, so as far as $70 games go, it's the most bang for your buck. Some $70 games only give you 20 hours or so.

And while I personally hate price increases of games, it does make sense. They were $60 for so long and during that time, the cost of development skyrocketed and inflation went through the roof. $60 in 2014 is $80 in 2024 money. We've had 33% cumulative inflation in the last 10 years.

On my case usually I don't buy games at day one and wait for a sale or discount but in extraordinary occasions like this when a game hypes me like this I make an exception and this happened with Persona 5 royal and now with Metaphor, also in my country (México) the game is cheaper for the currency exchange, depending of the developer they put the game at lower price and right now is around 56 dollars the standard version and if will give me 100 hours or more like Persona 5, then totally worth it

[xgc1986]

at least seems to be a good game, the problem is when it costs 70$ and the game is complete trash, like the Ubisofts one

[Yoshikira]

just got the game for 56 on cd keys

Price itself is subjective per person.

I can say the same for someone buying a 400k car since that to me is ridiculous but to the person buying it might be normal since they have the cash for it.

Of course if the game is actually worth 70$ is a different story but going by everything that we got so far and really good reviews and expect playtime of 80 hours with no MTX I think its worth the price.

Have patience, wait for sale. No necessity to play games at launch.

[Bo92]

Why not?
My Jacket was 70 aswell. Im fine with it. It's warm.

[Yhwach]

I don't think Metaphor will keep you warm

[Vurado88]

For this game i would gladly pay it.
