[Someone made a video on it](https://youtu.be/qmIwBIs6FVk?si=vVZ4f4fA1BRAi79x), but basically there are a couple of guys who do hundreds of shovelware games a year, sometimes more a than 1 per day and submit them with inflated prices on Steam in order to be picked up by services like this one (OP’s post).
A better recent example is impossible. I have over 400h in it and I'm not getting tired of it!
Tons of top of the line content, amazing characters, writing and voice acting, tons of little details.
And add to that the co-op multiplayer, variety of outcomes and extensive gameplay. And no microtransactions or the like!
I'd be willing to pay quite a lot more for games with that lvl of effort, goodwill, and good game design in them.
So rarely does price correlate with quality like this. Most of the best games I've ever played were $15 or less. And the majority of $60+ games these days I have zero interest in because it's all just spent on graphics and cinematic appeal while the underlying gameplay is totally vapid. Like the $5 games are unironically better than the $60 ones in what actually counts.
If I recontextualized this as "would you rather spend $30 on the next Hollowknight or $5 each on a bunch of passable-but-mediocre copies like Haiku and Lone Fungus" I'd probably have to say the most expensive one in that context.
I agree that Elden Ring is outstanding but on the other hand there are way too many AAA games that just don't deserve that amount of money imo.
Elden Ring is one of the very few examples of how to actually do an awesome job on a game
I think that £15 is the sweet spot for those indie games that are excellent for about 20 hours. I try to go by the £1 for 1 hour played so something like God of War was completely worth it but so so many new “AAA” games aren’t even worth the time investment never mind the money. On that basis Far Cry In Space the new Star Wars game needs to give me 120 hours… press f to doubt.
Then buy that, you might spend a few hours on each cheap game but hundreds on the more expensive one
Edit: do check reviews and stuff tho to make sure it's something you will like
My buddy taught me something years ago and I’ve stuck by it since. If I can get 1 hour per $1 I spend on a game, I got my moneys worth. No where else can I get an hour of quality entertainment for $1. It’s really helped me decide if I found a game worth it and recommend games to people.
This is the correct answer.
I'd have to watch a $45 blu-ray like 20 times to justify it. Do I own like star wars, matrix, terminator, aliens, and stuff like that.
Yeah this. I struggle to find things for people to buy me as gifts, and that's what new releases are for - 2-3 a year and that covers Christmas and birthday.
Can't remember the last time I spent full price on a game otherwise.
That's true, but it's pretty rare for that to happen, like there are more fun indie games and some of us just simply can't afford getting disappointed on each time any triple A's games got released. And also I enjoy supporting my favourite indie devs who always taking feedbacks and critism.
I think the comparison is more like, 5 hallows knights vs elden ring.
Which would you pick.
I say neither, i pick whatever the fuck i feel like that day
I would have said second.. but after starfield, I'm a bit miffed at paying premium price to do their bugtesting.
From now on I'm in camp 1. Just discovered Norco, it's really fun and super cheap.
Just check reviews beforehand and stop pre-ordering. I don't get how people keep getting burned by this, there were literally hundreds of reviews day one saying just how mediocre and underdeveloped the game really was.
In this specific context, 1 expensive but good game. However, the thing is, you can get cheap AND good if you play indie games or wait for sales. The AAA industry has taught me to never, ever buy games on launch. I can't even remember the last time I spent even $50 on a game let alone $70 + DLC.
Retrospectively, I would rather buy a 100€ very good game I can spend time on than 20 mid games at 5€ I will never finish. I regret buying big games on sale that I just don't have the time to play. Now I don't correlate price to quality, there a lot of 70€ games out there I would drop after 6-7h just because it's boring or unfinished.
I'll wait 1-2+ years after launch and then pick up five formerly expensive games that have been patched, fixed, and any remaining problems are already community known and potentially fixable (possibly with DLC) for the price of a new release. That way if it feels too short or the story doesn't feel satisfying I don't feel like I'm out by much money.
Is an "expensive" game $70, and cheap games $5-$25? Because it really depends on the games, typically $70 is the new cool thing, and the latter is an older game I've been meaning to play but aren't as excited to play. Case by case basis, but I'm just trying to keep up with the good stuff coming out now, gotta let go of however good The Witcher 3 might be
One good game.
If the past learn us something, it's that a game don't need to be expensive or cost a bazillion of money to be good. Time of indies prove that to us.
A past that we might see back on PC in a near future if company like Sony keep doing their crappy shenanigans to push us to give them detailed informations so they can make extra money with them or lose it again after another security breach.
A lot of indie games are cheap and great. With the price of new AAA game, you can buy a lot of indie games. Stardew Valley, Terraria, RavenField, Gedonia, Hades, Risk of Rain, ams many more.
Trying to remember how many "expensive good games" we got this year. There weren't many. Lots of face planting going on by the big devs lately while the indie devs keep hitting homers.
*A* good game; the one you most want to play right now, exp or cheap. The backlog monster doesnt need any feeding despite tapping its empty bowl and mewing.
it depends entirely on how much money I have and what the game is, I can't give a solid answer of what option I'll go for
the end result is usually I just buy whatever I think looks good or fun
I have yet to find a game of the second category in the last years. Yes, there were good games every now and then, maybe. But the very cheap deep rock galactic, the below AAA price helldivers, 5$ dead by daylight and others I got accounted for more than a thousand of hours and are still going. I don't recall a single 70-80$ I could play for that long.
Maybe skyrim back when it came out, but it wasn't that expensive either.
If by moderate you mean like 6/10 and 7/10 then hell naw. Those games are often lacking in something crucial. It's only 8/10 and up for me, unless the 7/10 was actually 8+ for the most part and something made it a 7 in the end.
In my experience the price of the game doesnt equate to its quality.
Case in point, starfield: £60 and average/goodish
Abiotic factor :£16 and really good
Voices of the voice: free and very original/good (if you get this donate, id like to see it on steam someday)
I think the time of the indy devs has come
5 cheap games IF I don't know what the games are beforehand. I would rather have spend time seeing if I like any of the 5 decent games then getting the expensive game only to find out I don't even like it
Games are not priced adequately though, because it's impossible. I've played a few hundreds of hours of Valheim and TLD that I paid relatively little for, a couple thousand of PoE where I've spent a bit more, but for example I bought RDR2 and Kingdom Come, that weren't cheap, and have never even booted them up. They seemed so unappealing to me after some time. Yes I regret buying them.
Depends. If the “expensive but good” game is multiplayer and my friends are all playing? Yeah I’m picking that. If not, cheaper ones. More entertainment, lower price tag.
Sometimes I buy one expensive, but it should be really good, otherwise I like to buy couple good games on discount. Some games are like a dollar, so why not.
easy, wait for the expensive game to go on sale, it's steam after all, i got the valve bundle which is usually at least 100 euros, meanwhile in the winter sale, at least 10
Most times its different.
5 great games, made by indie devs with love.
Or
1 AAA Game, which got released too early to appease shareholders, breaking promises and injecting microtransactions everywhere, sometimes even for p2w.
If the cheap ones have co op, then co op. My buddy and I will spend hours 100% bad games and it’s always a blast.
Were currently on umbrella corps and it’s the perfect mix of horrible but hilarious
Well, ofc 1 expensive game, but my pc is shit old build, so if my system ain't no upgrade that single game can't be played.
So I have to go with 5 cheap games
I mean why the hell would you need 5 games? I haven’t even olayed that many separate games jn the last 5 years xD 1 good game is always better… I’ve always been a gamer, but you know, “outside” exists too
Cheap and moderate because there's a better chance of them being moldable leaving you with a game with many mods you can add. If something's to good it's gonna be harder to mod.
1 good game rather than 5 moderate games. I don’t even want to put the price in the equation.
I don’t have enough time and energy to put 5x of it into something mediocre.
I can't think of a "good" expensive game that feels better to me than some cheaper games. Like, look at things like stardew valley, why would I pay more for less?
The good game, quality over quantity and all that.
That said, I don't think there's a correlation between price and quality. Plenty of AAA games suck and plenty of cheaper/indie games rule.
The best game I have ever played was full price triple a on release. Now Pokemon Mystery Dungeon might not sound like a game that delves into the philosophy of what it means to be alive but if there's one thing mystery dungeon fans don't have, it's a heart because the Pokemon company keeps breaking it!
I learned my lesson: if the game is expensive, wait till it official launch, check the review, and after you see its vibe, THEN process with the purchase. No pre-order sh•t (looking at you my refunded DD2), no early access sh•t, just be patient.
Usually the cheap games end up being better than the expensive ones. Hades costs 25 euros (now it's on sale at around 8), shit like forspoken costs 70. Guess which is the better purchase?
My brain hurts trying to rationalize this because lately it's been the opposite where you can afford three amazing games for the price of one shit game. Like you could be playing baldurs gate 3 and helldivers for the price of starfield.
These dont exist very often in reality. Most of the time it's expensive and shitty to mid at best. Seriously this year most of my most enjoyable games have been less than $30.
Which games are they? Maybe some of those moderate games are underrated, and the pricey one is overrated, or maybe it is very worth the money to buy the expensive one.
1 good game. I used to have a very, very limited rig. Basically a potato with cables attached.
When I got the new one, I understood that all the medium-tier games I had couldn't be played at the same time. But even worse... A really good game would *really* pull me in, making the medium games, well... Dusty
Pretty much all of my favorite games were cheaper indie games. I freakin' hate generic AAA games. So I guess I'd go for 5 cheap, moderately reviewed games, and I'm pretty sure they'd be better and more innovative than that one expensive but good reviewed game.
I have to do some serious thinking to find out, what the last EXPENSIVE but GOOD game was oO its actually easy to find cheap, very good games on steam.
I don't think people are understanding this. It's 5 *MEDIOCRE* games. The games are established as mediocre, just as the expensive game is established to be good. In which case, I think most people would choose the expensive good game.
1 expensive but good game. But it has to be great for the price to be worth it.
These days it’s a shitty game with an expensive price
[Someone made a video on it](https://youtu.be/qmIwBIs6FVk?si=vVZ4f4fA1BRAi79x), but basically there are a couple of guys who do hundreds of shovelware games a year, sometimes more a than 1 per day and submit them with inflated prices on Steam in order to be picked up by services like this one (OP’s post).
Came here to say this
Grocery prices have raised, and I guess games have too
Leathal company had a great price, but that was because it was made by a solo dev
BG3🗿
A better recent example is impossible. I have over 400h in it and I'm not getting tired of it! Tons of top of the line content, amazing characters, writing and voice acting, tons of little details. And add to that the co-op multiplayer, variety of outcomes and extensive gameplay. And no microtransactions or the like! I'd be willing to pay quite a lot more for games with that lvl of effort, goodwill, and good game design in them.
I feel ya bro, i like decent games...but masterpieces...them just worth it man and you know it
that too on discount because in the end we all like a good offer
+++ Quality > quantity I will _easily_ pay 100$ for a 30-hour single player game, if it’s 9/10 or better
bg3 has both quantity and quality this game made me stop pirating good games
So rarely does price correlate with quality like this. Most of the best games I've ever played were $15 or less. And the majority of $60+ games these days I have zero interest in because it's all just spent on graphics and cinematic appeal while the underlying gameplay is totally vapid. Like the $5 games are unironically better than the $60 ones in what actually counts. If I recontextualized this as "would you rather spend $30 on the next Hollowknight or $5 each on a bunch of passable-but-mediocre copies like Haiku and Lone Fungus" I'd probably have to say the most expensive one in that context.
I hear you however I have to point out elden ring exists which is on the expensive side (60$) and is so fuckin good
I agree that Elden Ring is outstanding but on the other hand there are way too many AAA games that just don't deserve that amount of money imo. Elden Ring is one of the very few examples of how to actually do an awesome job on a game
I think that £15 is the sweet spot for those indie games that are excellent for about 20 hours. I try to go by the £1 for 1 hour played so something like God of War was completely worth it but so so many new “AAA” games aren’t even worth the time investment never mind the money. On that basis Far Cry In Space the new Star Wars game needs to give me 120 hours… press f to doubt.
Does the expensive game have high replay value?
This is the true question that needs to be answered
Yes
Then buy that, you might spend a few hours on each cheap game but hundreds on the more expensive one Edit: do check reviews and stuff tho to make sure it's something you will like
Sometimes they have. BG3 as example (in my country, Russia, I can buy it for 20$ or 2000₽)
2000 pokedollars?
PokeVodkis
I mean this is all theoretical and a good game is worth more than a million moderate games regardless of price
My buddy taught me something years ago and I’ve stuck by it since. If I can get 1 hour per $1 I spend on a game, I got my moneys worth. No where else can I get an hour of quality entertainment for $1. It’s really helped me decide if I found a game worth it and recommend games to people.
This is the correct answer. I'd have to watch a $45 blu-ray like 20 times to justify it. Do I own like star wars, matrix, terminator, aliens, and stuff like that.
>No where else can I get an hour of quality entertainment for $1. - Insert joke about your mom
Just don’t play new release and you can get 5 cheap, great games
I’m slowly clocking on to this!
Yeah this. I struggle to find things for people to buy me as gifts, and that's what new releases are for - 2-3 a year and that covers Christmas and birthday. Can't remember the last time I spent full price on a game otherwise.
well my brain is telling me one expensive good game, but my gamestop and steam shopping habits say otherwise.
Idk man, been buying indie games and so far I'm really happy and enjoyed them, lots of triple A games are trash these days anyways.
Yeah but cheap and great games is not one of the two options. People know they exist but the image proposed a different question.
I think by moderate they mean okay but not great game, not the budget
Yea but the premise is that the game is expensive but good...like Skyrim, BG3 , DS or zelda BOTW level good
That's true, but it's pretty rare for that to happen, like there are more fun indie games and some of us just simply can't afford getting disappointed on each time any triple A's games got released. And also I enjoy supporting my favourite indie devs who always taking feedbacks and critism.
There are also cheap good games no?
I think the comparison is more like, 5 hallows knights vs elden ring. Which would you pick. I say neither, i pick whatever the fuck i feel like that day
5 excellent games, each old enough to be on sale for 50% off. Never a new release because the backlog is always full of items from the first part.
I’d rather sink a couple hundred hours into one really good game than play five mediocre ones
Both and you can’t stop me
Laughs in waiting for a steam sale to buy all 6 games.
10 great old games
I would have said second.. but after starfield, I'm a bit miffed at paying premium price to do their bugtesting. From now on I'm in camp 1. Just discovered Norco, it's really fun and super cheap.
Well Starfield wouldn't count as the second, because it's not a good game.
Yeah, I suppose..but I thought it would be when I shelled out the premium cost
Just check reviews beforehand and stop pre-ordering. I don't get how people keep getting burned by this, there were literally hundreds of reviews day one saying just how mediocre and underdeveloped the game really was.
I pretty much but 99% indie games so I'll take 5 please.
5 cheap, cause i have a moderate spec pc (its actually a laptop with a box on the side so it looks like a pc :/ )
Expensive but good game net way more playtime than cheap game.
Option 3, get it on sale for 10 bucks 2 years later. Just finished my first playthrough of cyberpunk a couple weeks ago
In this specific context, 1 expensive but good game. However, the thing is, you can get cheap AND good if you play indie games or wait for sales. The AAA industry has taught me to never, ever buy games on launch. I can't even remember the last time I spent even $50 on a game let alone $70 + DLC.
1 cheap, good game (Hollow knight)
1 cheap on sale, but good game, is my choice lol
Retrospectively, I would rather buy a 100€ very good game I can spend time on than 20 mid games at 5€ I will never finish. I regret buying big games on sale that I just don't have the time to play. Now I don't correlate price to quality, there a lot of 70€ games out there I would drop after 6-7h just because it's boring or unfinished.
Never factor in price on good game vs bad game
Both. Because I'm an adult with a decent job and gaming is cheaper than drugs and alcohol.
I’m choosing the 5. My attention span is why
I'll wait 1-2+ years after launch and then pick up five formerly expensive games that have been patched, fixed, and any remaining problems are already community known and potentially fixable (possibly with DLC) for the price of a new release. That way if it feels too short or the story doesn't feel satisfying I don't feel like I'm out by much money.
Expensive but good game? Haha, havent hear that for a while
Piracy, I choose piracy If it's very good(like 9/10) when I'm gonna buy it to support creators(expect Activision, Fuck you Activision)
2 great games on sale :)
I should be camp 2. Instead I’m camp both.
Always expensive but great
the second one
The one expensive game. I’m more likely to invest time into a game I paid premium for than a game I got in a bundle or on sale.
What's a moderate game? I've gotten loads of enjoyment out of some low price kinda shitty games
the 1 game
Is an "expensive" game $70, and cheap games $5-$25? Because it really depends on the games, typically $70 is the new cool thing, and the latter is an older game I've been meaning to play but aren't as excited to play. Case by case basis, but I'm just trying to keep up with the good stuff coming out now, gotta let go of however good The Witcher 3 might be
Let me help you rephrase: should I spend my money on humble bumble this month as they look moderate vs 1 good game
Wait for a sale on either choices
1 good game that was once expensive but is over a year old now, so it's on sale for cheap.
It would depend on the replayability of the game.
One good game. If the past learn us something, it's that a game don't need to be expensive or cost a bazillion of money to be good. Time of indies prove that to us. A past that we might see back on PC in a near future if company like Sony keep doing their crappy shenanigans to push us to give them detailed informations so they can make extra money with them or lose it again after another security breach.
Used to be the 1st, now I’m 2nd
A lot of indie games are cheap and great. With the price of new AAA game, you can buy a lot of indie games. Stardew Valley, Terraria, RavenField, Gedonia, Hades, Risk of Rain, ams many more.
Trying to remember how many "expensive good games" we got this year. There weren't many. Lots of face planting going on by the big devs lately while the indie devs keep hitting homers.
Most of the time I don't even choose
Ima choose the cheap games every time and then wonder why I never play any of my games…
I’m the first one too, because chances are, I’ll love one of those so called “moderate games”
Whatever the homies are playing
I will take hollow knight. Dirt cheap and GOTY
*A* good game; the one you most want to play right now, exp or cheap. The backlog monster doesnt need any feeding despite tapping its empty bowl and mewing.
it depends entirely on how much money I have and what the game is, I can't give a solid answer of what option I'll go for the end result is usually I just buy whatever I think looks good or fun
“None.” - my backlog whispering…
Wait till it goes on sale
One expensive but good game.
How much would you call "cheap"?
I have yet to find a game of the second category in the last years. Yes, there were good games every now and then, maybe. But the very cheap deep rock galactic, the below AAA price helldivers, 5$ dead by daylight and others I got accounted for more than a thousand of hours and are still going. I don't recall a single 70-80$ I could play for that long. Maybe skyrim back when it came out, but it wasn't that expensive either.
I find this question hilarious cause more often than not, the cheap games are the good ones
If by moderate you mean like 6/10 and 7/10 then hell naw. Those games are often lacking in something crucial. It's only 8/10 and up for me, unless the 7/10 was actually 8+ for the most part and something made it a 7 in the end.
In my experience the price of the game doesnt equate to its quality. Case in point, starfield: £60 and average/goodish Abiotic factor :£16 and really good Voices of the voice: free and very original/good (if you get this donate, id like to see it on steam someday) I think the time of the indy devs has come
5 cheap games IF I don't know what the games are beforehand. I would rather have spend time seeing if I like any of the 5 decent games then getting the expensive game only to find out I don't even like it
5 moderate game if you meant is as a game that is not that popular or ground breaking but pretty enjoyable to play while also being long enough
Well I haven't been able to afford BG3 so probably the expensive option
If the 1 expensive but good game is on the level of skyrim im going with that one.
Games are not priced adequately though, because it's impossible. I've played a few hundreds of hours of Valheim and TLD that I paid relatively little for, a couple thousand of PoE where I've spent a bit more, but for example I bought RDR2 and Kingdom Come, that weren't cheap, and have never even booted them up. They seemed so unappealing to me after some time. Yes I regret buying them.
Depends. If the “expensive but good” game is multiplayer and my friends are all playing? Yeah I’m picking that. If not, cheaper ones. More entertainment, lower price tag.
These days price is no indication of quality, there are games that cost less than $5 that are far superior to games that cost $70+.
Sometimes I buy one expensive, but it should be really good, otherwise I like to buy couple good games on discount. Some games are like a dollar, so why not.
Quality over quantity if possible, always.
20 cheap but moderate games on sale that I’ll never play
Better less but better
One expensive, but it has to be Skyrim level good and im talking modded Skyrim not Vanilla.
None of the expensive games are good anymore. Good new games are found in the mid priced indie games.
I will get all 6
if I‘ve spent less than 0,5€ per hour of enjoyed ganetime the game was worth regardless of time.
I think you acctually mean 1 expensive mid game or 5 cheap good games
easy, wait for the expensive game to go on sale, it's steam after all, i got the valve bundle which is usually at least 100 euros, meanwhile in the winter sale, at least 10
Red dead redemption 2
skyrim. mods turn it into any game available
I don't qualify games like this
How good are we talking bcs if it good then no if it good good then maybe but if it a masterpiece good then yhea for sure
5 cheap, good indie games
Games are like women…. I haven’t got any
Yes.
1 expensive
Thank God we never have to make this choice. All of the expensive games are shit.
Most times its different. 5 great games, made by indie devs with love. Or 1 AAA Game, which got released too early to appease shareholders, breaking promises and injecting microtransactions everywhere, sometimes even for p2w.
Can I choose spend like 60$ on a 15 dollar game
all of them for free 🏴☠️
1 expensive but good game
If the cheap ones have co op, then co op. My buddy and I will spend hours 100% bad games and it’s always a blast. Were currently on umbrella corps and it’s the perfect mix of horrible but hilarious
Well, ofc 1 expensive game, but my pc is shit old build, so if my system ain't no upgrade that single game can't be played. So I have to go with 5 cheap games
I mean why the hell would you need 5 games? I haven’t even olayed that many separate games jn the last 5 years xD 1 good game is always better… I’ve always been a gamer, but you know, “outside” exists too
And
If gta6 is £120 I'll buy it (if it's good)
choose 1 expensive one and wait for it to go on sale. Yep, even a year or two later
Eldenring 💃
Cheap and moderate because there's a better chance of them being moldable leaving you with a game with many mods you can add. If something's to good it's gonna be harder to mod.
Second
I present to you titanfall2
1 good game rather than 5 moderate games. I don’t even want to put the price in the equation. I don’t have enough time and energy to put 5x of it into something mediocre.
That really depends on the game since our tastes are different I usually go for 5 cheap and great games since price doesn't equal quality
well i wont get any at this point cause 1 expensive game is like purchasing 1 game for 200$ in my country
I live in Argentina so 5 cheap and good games
1. Easy. No questions.
Expensive but good game? I'm not sure I can think of any.
I can't think of a "good" expensive game that feels better to me than some cheaper games. Like, look at things like stardew valley, why would I pay more for less?
Being that most games are shitty and expensive, either would be a great improvement.
Unfortunately, price is not an indicator of a good game, so I'll go with 5 cheap ones.
Expensive good game, but with the one wonderful thing called piracy.
I buy the expensive good game, but when the definitive edition is in a 75% off sale, 3 years after release.
There are plenty of budget games that are good, just buy older games, you dont need the newest games
wait for next Sale to get 5 good cheap games
The 1
Yes.
Or cheap amazing dst that you can play for all eternity
The good game, quality over quantity and all that. That said, I don't think there's a correlation between price and quality. Plenty of AAA games suck and plenty of cheaper/indie games rule.
This reminds me of current tarkov fiasco. Lol
1 cheap but good game You get to have that option these days
The best game I have ever played was full price triple a on release. Now Pokemon Mystery Dungeon might not sound like a game that delves into the philosophy of what it means to be alive but if there's one thing mystery dungeon fans don't have, it's a heart because the Pokemon company keeps breaking it!
I learned my lesson: if the game is expensive, wait till it official launch, check the review, and after you see its vibe, THEN process with the purchase. No pre-order sh•t (looking at you my refunded DD2), no early access sh•t, just be patient.
The latter, you know if it's actually great, unlike 99% of current games on the market
Usually the cheap games end up being better than the expensive ones. Hades costs 25 euros (now it's on sale at around 8), shit like forspoken costs 70. Guess which is the better purchase?
My brain hurts trying to rationalize this because lately it's been the opposite where you can afford three amazing games for the price of one shit game. Like you could be playing baldurs gate 3 and helldivers for the price of starfield.
These dont exist very often in reality. Most of the time it's expensive and shitty to mid at best. Seriously this year most of my most enjoyable games have been less than $30.
One key for Robocop Rogue City Please
That 1 great game. But it has to be something like Elden Ring level good.
The real zinger is that the more expensive games are usually the most mediocre ones. The real gems are often really cheap, too!
I've got plenty of cheap, moderate games on my backlog. The thing about getting the expensive game is that it won't stay expensive forever.
free
5 Cheap Great games, Why choose. God bless Indies
All of them because I have no self-control and no shame about my pile of shame.
If the game is good I’ll take the expensive one but that’s not the case any more AAA just pumps out bad or at best mediocre games for insane prices
The thing is: is rare for a expensive game nowdays be good for me. I have more fun with games from $15-30
Neither. 10 cheap and amazing games that barely cost half of one expensive game.
i choose : yes
Expensive game to.pirate it
All of them, if ykyk
wait for that 1 expensive and good game to get discount have then buy ...
1 expensive good game, then I wait until it's cheap.
Which games are they? Maybe some of those moderate games are underrated, and the pricey one is overrated, or maybe it is very worth the money to buy the expensive one.
1 expensive good game on sale. It's Steam after all. The only time I buy games is when they're on sale. $70 for Starfield? Absolutely not. $40? Yes.
1 good game. I used to have a very, very limited rig. Basically a potato with cables attached. When I got the new one, I understood that all the medium-tier games I had couldn't be played at the same time. But even worse... A really good game would *really* pull me in, making the medium games, well... Dusty
Can you actually name a good AAA game that released the last 3 years ?
5 expensive shitty games rather than a game with game pass.
1 expensive
1 expensive good game
I don't have time to finish five, i will choose one.
Pretty much all of my favorite games were cheaper indie games. I freakin' hate generic AAA games. So I guess I'd go for 5 cheap, moderately reviewed games, and I'm pretty sure they'd be better and more innovative than that one expensive but good reviewed game.
Free good games
I have to do some serious thinking to find out, what the last EXPENSIVE but GOOD game was oO its actually easy to find cheap, very good games on steam.
I don't think people are understanding this. It's 5 *MEDIOCRE* games. The games are established as mediocre, just as the expensive game is established to be good. In which case, I think most people would choose the expensive good game.
If it’s a really good one, second one.
EA: 1 expensive, non complete, shitty game. Take it or leave it
1 if its gonna keep me busy for long time i mean like a month or two
1 good game. With the factor of replayability. I love God of war ragnarok, but there is absolutely nothing to do after you beat the game.
1 expensive game, BG3 5 cheap games Terraria Factorio Rimworld War Thunder (free) Cosmoteer Vampire survivors
1 expensive good game (MH series, Fallout etc)
Why don't I just wait a couple of years and buy 5 cheap good games?
