It's a rotting carcass for roughly a decade now, sadly. At least with US-based AAA. I would have to think for a while to come up with a title that well deserved full price.
It was either indie, AA or some Chinese or polish AAA.
Cyberpunk+DLC. Well worth it. (Not at launch, but never play on release-day).
Other than that I would have to check my library for hours-played to answer that... Which is sad.
I just bought on release-day. But didn't play it until a year later. I learnt from my mistakes, and behold, it was the right choice. They released way too early 😁
I had zero problems, tons of mods, massive hours of fun.
Last AAA for me was Jedi: Survivor. Even played it on release day. Didn't have any problems. But then again, I also had sane graphics settings for what my card could handle.
That is rare, yes :)
I actually checked, and it's not many....
Assassin's Creed Origin&Odyssey and Subnautica&SZ were the only US-based AAA that were worth it for full-price (or more) in the last 5 years or so.
if you can't wait 6 hours longer for a fucking trailer, maybe you have a problem. Like jesus fucking christ, does it really matter? More than half these people would still buy the game even if Cockstar never released a single image or video of the game.
I thought the pre ordering or pay extra to play a day early is bad. This is downright a mental illness. The fact that people even watch that shit just tell these shitasses that it works.
It's six hours. A controversy about a gameplay reveal that is available 6 hours later.
Rockstar banks on this controversy. Just watch it on YouTube. God, people are impatient.
Paying for skins started with a horse armor for a few dollars. Because people allowed it and it made a bit more money, it turned into the bag of shit we have now, where you don't even get all the players in a game without buying them.
Waiting 6 hours is nothing. What it becomes later, if it proves to be profitable, will be.
Well, ‘fan’ is a shortening of the term ‘fanatic’, and I’d certainly suggest that people who can’t wait for the video to be reuploaded elsewhere in a matter of hours are definitely engaging in fanatical behaviour.
Not happening not with no physical copies. My guess they want to keep that high price tag long as possible and see how many rubs they can sucker into paying it.
That shit will be on pirate sites within 20 minutes. Will be on unofficial youtube channels after that, everyone who wants to see it will see it before it hits official youtube channels. Most not through netflix.

Coming from the union busting studio that wants 80$ for the game? Man, what a surprise. /s
AAA is dead.

I honestly don't remember what the last AAA title I bought was.

Dude just bought that game off Steam for 75% off. Was like 17 bucks.

Shit, I rarely even hear about or run across these trailers before they've been out at least a few days

Does it ever go cheap tho? It has never dropped under 20$ in my region ever(gta 5)
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 10d
GTAV has been only $9.99 in my region for years now and they also have given it away free at least twice.

How can one be a "GTA 6 fan" when the game isn't even released. I'm a fan of 1-5, but....

Fair point. Though "fan" became something more tame. I'm surely fan of subnautica but wouldn't sacrifice a goat 😁
shani66@ani.social · 1 pts · 10d
Well obviously, subnautica demands a deep sea invertebrate not a goat. That'd just be silly.

...but they will still buy it.

Can't wait to buy this game in 5-10 years for like $5 with all the bugs patched, cool mods available, and all DLC included.

Yes, it will go on sale for cheap, lower barrier of entry to their online service riddled with extra transactions.
