I’m still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.
I picked up the RE remakes this summer sale that were -75%. I’m a pirate at heart but pirating on the Steam Deck is annoying so I’m willing to buy video games (talk about GabeN being correct once again that piracy is a service issue) for it. I’ll wait until the RE4 remake is -75% and then buy it as well, likely the next summer sale.
i need to look into those. it’ll be my first play through and the remakes might be a good way to do that
The RE 1 remake is quite good as well, still, despite being originally made for Gamecube. The pre-rendered backgrounds on Gamecube era hardware led to graphics that still hold up today. That said, the controls are much more old school, so maybe save it for after you’ve beaten 2 and 3
I always buy games only on sale. My rule of thumb is: if it’s around 20€ it’s a no-brainer. Anything above that I only buy for games that I really really want and that stay above 20€ even when on sale.
This is the way I do it too. I also factor in cost by hour. Like if I think I will put 50 hours into a game then I wouldn’t mind paying $50 cuz that’s only $1 per hour of enjoyment. Most games are 5-25 hrs though so that’s the price range I tend to stick with.
There’s also quality of enjoyment. Like if I take 4 hours to beat a game but it’s so good it changes my life or is unlike any game I’ve played before, then I don’t mind a higher cost per hour. For example, Outer Wilds.
Literally every game I own is either from Fitgirl, free from epic or bought on sale
She’s a repacker, she takes cracked games and repacks them into way smaller downloads, think 20Gb download for a 60Gb game.
The repacker (they don’t crack anything!) that could teach a thing or two to those morons who send games with packages in the hundreds of gigabytes to users. Seriously good work.
A bunch of AVNs imma purchase on the next Steam sale. Although I might buy them full price because I like what I’ve played so far and I think it’s vital to vote with one’s wallet, but also encourage independent developers. I’ve been buying a lot of independent games lately, instead of waiting for bigger titles to drop in price. Mostly because I’m tired of mediocrity in a shiny package.
