- Are video games actually worth $60?

If it is short then no but a game like say Witcher 3 then yes.

Depends, it always surprises me how many people buy videogames and never get past the first 10% of the game, apparently they still thought enough of it to fork over 60 bones.... So yea? Remember it takes a lot of work to make a game, even though I think a lot of the budget is wasted on testing that could be done internally

Anything over 4 hours with replayability has the potential to be. It doesn't need to be 100+ either though.
|
|
Depends on the game entirely. Definitely not a standard price that is supposed to apply for all games.

ArsenicSteel posted... I am a GCU member so every $60 retail game only costs me 48 bucks before other discounts. I have yet to spend $60 on a game in over 5 years. The point still is that it's dumb to debate about value. No cyberchat is going to make you right or wrong for spending your own money. I can buy a game and not like it. Such is life.

very, very few are worth $60 to me personally.
Normally I always wait till the price is under $40 or less.

foe me depends on the game, if it can give me more than 60h of playtime it's worth it.
so basically for me only rpgs are ever worth it and tekken 7 just because i play it with friends gta v persona 5 disgaea 5 witcher 3 (bought for 30 tho) pokemon for 3ds even tho its 45€ those are some of the games that were worth full price for me

It also depends how you value your money, for a poor student 60 bucks is a lot of money, for someone with plenty of disposable income getting 12 hours of entertainment for 60 bucks is a pretty decent investment.

I like really good beer and I'll pay what it takes to get that good quality beer. And if I enjoy the shit out of that good quality beer... I'll continue to purchase that brew or brews like it.
There's times when you try a beer that is just not up to your standards of what you want to drink, so, you don't buy that beer next time. I have a similar process with games I purchase. I have no issues purchasing games for $60. I understand it takes a lot to create a game and I have much respect for that process. But there's certain games that I won't spend $60 on .... so I don't. Videos, reviews and game rentals help with saving money on a game that would be a waste and that I wouldn't play.

Can you afford to do something within your budget and do you have strong affinity for it? Then yes, it's worth it. And if it's part of your social circle or work interests, you'll want to buy into it sooner than later.
There's also something to be said of being frugal if games aren't a priority type of hobby. |

Games in the 90's used to cost more than 60 bucks and this was when the IS dollar had a lot more value to it. Street Fighter 2 retailed at like 70 bucks, Phantasy Star 4 was like 100 etc etc. Back then how much data the game had to it determined the price of it but nowadays its jsut a flat price for the base game itself and then there is DLC etc etc which will make the full game ever more in most cases.

Ok let us use maths.
Blu - Ray / DVD at release $10 - $15 (Let us use 10 for easy of maths) Average running time 2 hours. Average times watched (cannot put a figure on this so will say 3) Total time :- 6 hours Total cost:- $10 Cost to enjoyment DVD - $10 / 6 hours = $1.66 per hour Game - $60 Average running time 1 - 1000+ hours (Let us just say 100 hours for easy maths) Cost to enjoyment Game - $60 / 100 = $0.6 per hour So the more you play a game, the better value it becomes unlike other forms of entertainment that generally may get used once or only a couple of times and don't have the same kind of returns |

Most of the games I buy are worth the recommended retail price. They're probably worth more to be fair. Like shillinator will tell you: Prices of games have not increased, but developmental costs have. This is true therefore most AAA budget games should be retailed at a higher price.
It's because of you cheapo's that arn't willing to pay full price for your favourite games that we get stuck with developers trying to milk us for every possible dime.

To me, yes, very much.
Look at it this way, in England you can buy a new Blu Ray release for around £20 which could be 1.5 - 3 hours long, you can watch it a few times, but never changes and you have no control over it. A game will cost from £25 - £50 and could last many any hours which gives you full interaction too. As an example, I paid £30 for Overwatch and have put over 200 hours into and it cost me just £10 more than a Blu Ray.

Different games are worth different amounts to different people. Some people don't care how much games are. If they wanted it they buy it. Some have a budget and have to figure their budget into the purchase. For me a single parent a 4 who struggles at times, I rarely buy a game at 60$. I usually buy them for 30 or less. Obviously there are exceptions. But all in all I prefer to buy used disks. At gamestop if you dont like the game you can swap it oit for another used game of the same price but they only give you so many days.

Duh.
But im biased. As a collector, I have spent well over 200 bucks just for a game that released years ago. I just recently spent around 90 bucks for a bluray of a movie I have seen countless times. But it was absolutely worth it and I would do it again, and again. And will. Watch me.

Honestly, it's not a game duration that adds value to it. For me, any game is hardly worth 60 bucks today, because they are likely to be launched incomplete and sometimes even broken, only to be fixed on the upcoming months through several GBs worth of downloading patches.
So I do what I've been doing since PS3 days... I wait a few weeks or even months to buy games. By then, all problems it had during launch are likely to be fixed and probably prices will have dropped as well.

I normally pick out 3 games a year that I will spend 60 dollars for as for others for other games that I want, I wait for price drop..Example Attack on Titan, I figured that game would have dropped from 60 to 30 within a month...Well, I was wrong it's still like 40 dollars........Bad move on my part. So i waited it out for Star Ocean, now it's 14.99. Game that I think are worth it this year is Ys 8....and that's all that is on my radar

very few the last game I felt it was worth spending $60 on was persona 5 and horizon zero dawn meanwhile while I spent $60 on mass effect A cause I loved 2/3 and felt ripped off and burned on buying games day 1 in the future
You release your game and it has disc locked content and day 1 dlc I will just buy your game used.A lot are worth more.
I wonder if 'Deus Vult' would still be such a popular phrase in nerdom if they knew there was no 'v' sound in Latin.I know some people don't like this sort of comparison, but when I compare them to other things people spend entertainment money on, they tend to compare favorably for the time you get out of them. And, for me at least, how much I enjoy them. I enjoy theme parks and rides, and they are very different experiences of course, but the $60 I might spend to go to one (aside: just looked at Disney's, they are $122 adult now, damn) will result in about 9 hours total with much of it spent in lines and fighting crowds.ArsenicSteel posted...

Anyone who can read and use their brain can see that you are a crybaby that is mad that they got owned. Run along now snowflakeDepends how many hours I'm getting out of the game, not including replaying the single player. A full campaign that is priced at 60 dollars should give me at least 20 hours of playtime. I like big games so more content, the more I'll pay. I generally buy games later than most, I'd rather pay around 20 bucks or less for most of my games, especially if they're short and lack replayability.

RIP ProdigyI average about $30 for games. I buy on sale most of the time. The games I buy usually get me about 60 hours of play time. That's $0.50 per hour of entertainment. That's a deal that can't be beaten for my interests. The closest is reading books, but I generally read books in around 20 hours (for 500 pages) for let's say $5. That assumes an older book of course. Most of my books are actually between 10-17 since I read newer authors more. Then it evens out.

How do music and games have infinite replay value but movies do not, in your books?
For games, I could stick to a good multiplayer due to its rewarding, dynamic nature.
With music albums, I can listen while driving, working out, chilling at the park, walking to class, etc. I find myself replaying classic albums more than I do classic movies.
But with movies, it becomes redundant for me to re-watch a movie frequently. I already know the plot. I might catch on to some of the nuances I missed before, but that alone is not worth it for me to watch a 2-hour film that essentially never changes. Again though, this is just my opinion. lol

Games in a way still do cost more, dlc is a furtive way to get more money out of your games, so while we haven't seen a solid price increase, game devs still have ways to make more bread from their customers. Also, in the generations before, if you want to release a game, you would make sure that it is as polised as possible, because updates weren't as convenient. But now, we see content being added to games months after launch, so games technically aren't finished on release. There's always a way to compensate for something like this.KanyeEast posted...

Good point. And DLC is probably more a direct way of getting profits compared to having to ship games to retailers.there are much worse ways to spend 60 bucks.
some people spend 60 bucks to watch a 2 hour baseball game or UFC ppv
a videogame you get 60 hours of entertainment with is well worth 60 bucks IMO

No. These clowns that fall for what developers say though will tell you otherwise.60$ is nothing. I pay $45 for Contra on the NES in 1987. That would be worth 98$ as of today. Also it only takes about 45 min game time to finish the game. So stop whining about the price of game with a short amount of play time.

Depends, if you can't wait them of course. I don't think every game is worth the 60 dollar price tag but there's lots of ways to get a game for 20% off at launch.
The Earth is flat and Dinosaurs were made up to discourage time travel.With the way TC uses the stupidly overused term "snowflake" and his/her frequent insults at everyone, i can only picture them wearing a MAGA hat, frothing at the mouth as they reply.The great majority of them aren't to me, but there are usually 2-3 per year that are.

acne on your face, acne on my shirt bro.Some, yes. Others, no. And I don't mean this subjectively. I mean it objectively. Games like GTA V and the Call of Duty series, yes. If you like these games, you'll get well over $60 worth out of them. A game like Cars 3? No way. Should have been $20. GOTY games should also be less than $60 on launch. Having a standard price is stupid.
Sac City Gamer - saccitygamer.comI'd argue that there are many games that I'd pay over $60 for. Providing me with 100s of hours of entertainment and at the same time being a result of many people's hard work definitely makes games worth it to me.

@NaturalCalamity If your mom is a prostitute, I would pay her for her services, she would be a service I would be paying for for a set amount of time. I don't think she would give me her services for free, same concept for buying a video game. You give the money and are given a service you can use at your own discretion, whichever way you want. It isn't a "hobby", and even with hobbies you usually pay for them anyway. You like drawing? Gotta buy some drawing supplies and paper.

Gaming most certainly is a hobby. I mean I know you're trolling but what I'm trying to work out is: Are you intellectually challenged or just deliberately acting intellectually challenged?
Also who's taking bets on how long TC's alt account will last?
I'm predicting a week at TC's rate of idiocy.

one of the easiest ways to spot a troll is when they post a topic like this and then proceed to ignore all thought out responses in favor of just talking shit with someone
Also there's you. The kind of troll that ignores what the topic is about in favour of complaining about trolls...
i can see why someone like you would think that. you have been guilty of doing the same thing tc is doing in the past

Well I already put my 2 cents in earlier. TC is clearly trolling - like you pointed out. It's not like you;re here for discussion either. You have some weird hang up about trolls on this forum. The kicker, you're one of the biggest trolls here.

Shut up
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man- The DudeLike any other good or service it's worth what people are willing to pay for it, so I'd say yes, at least for new games when they first come out.

acne on your face, acne on my shirt bro.They are to me i live near a club and if im in house i get bored pretty easy and go to club and i can spend anywhere from £30-70 a night in club so if i buy a game for £50 and it keeps me in house for a week im saving a fortune.
Also its time i hate games like order 86 where its £50 for maybe 10 hours but i dont mind dropping £50 on a game that lasts me 40+ hours.
Im currently playing warframe and to say its a free game im pretty impressed and ive sank over 100 hours into it and its free. I even decided to buy some cosmetic stuff in the game because i think the devs deserve some of my money for at least keeping me engaged for over 100 hours.Not reading the whole topic, but it depends on what 60 dollars is worth to you.
For some people, it takes 8-10 hours of work to make that much money after taxes, and for others it might be 3 hours of work. For me personally, a majority of games aren't worth 60 dollars.
Like, for 60 dollars I can choose between a 10-15 hour game I might end up hating, a month of cell phone and internet, or 3/4 of my car insurance.
Idk. I'm very frugal with how much money I feel I can spend on entertainment at the moment. Before I had bills to pay I would just throw my money at games/movies/whatever left and right, but now I'm picky. I usually wait to buy a game used or on sale lol. I think the last game I paid 60 dollars for was bloodborne when it got released.LightningAce11 posted...
Video games + all DLC that it has is worth 60 and no more.
Agreed. Standard editions are generally about 80% of the content in a game, sometimes that is even less for games like Destiny. Now we are forced to pay $80+ for the full content of a game. It is sad to see what gaming has become now.
Also, you're probably going to have to wait a while if you want a deal like the one you mentioned.tbh I'm still surprised video games arent more expensive. prices barely went up for such a long long time.(edited 19 minutes ago)quote- Boards

- Are video games actually worth $60?
