Would it be better if every game was a hundred quid?

[The Boston Crab]

Then only the best games would even bother being made because nobody is buying shit games for a hundred quid.


It's also a great new review system (revolutionary). Is this game worth a hundred quid?


Zelda BotW  Yep.
Lumines yep.
Spiderman can't say.
Hirizon Zero Down. Maybe.
Forxa Horizon 4. Yep.
Undertale no.


What do you guy's think ?

[madhair60]

Undertale is worth a thousand quid. I like the idea of this review system though and I will adopt it.

[Jerzy Bondov]

No, none of those games are worth a hundred pounds. Don't be silly. ONE HUNDRED POUNDS? To make a little elf man run around in a field? Come off it.

[The Boston Crab]

Ekarauga? Hunner.
Drathsmiles? No.
Dodonpachi DaiOuJou? Easy hunner.
Dodonpachi SaiDaiOuJou? Can't pay a hunner for that.
Bastagun? No chanc
Kirby Star Ally? You bets pay ME a hunner to play that shit.
Monkey islands? Hunner
Monkey islands 2? Hunner
Monky islands 3? Cool zero.
Cannon Foder? Hundi
Sensible Golf? Never technically been seen so who knows

You fell right onto my trap!! My my my...

BUT I bet you pay fifty for two crap games without thinking is it worth it? Or ten craps for ten pound each over a year. Best pay one hindred pounds for the very best only.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

Only chumps buy games at full price.

[wooders1978]

Never even heard of lumines - will investigate post haste

Did I fuck. Anyway I don't want to play one game, even if it's great. I like playing different games. If I spent a hundred pounds on a game I'd feel compelled to do everything in the game long past the point where I was enjoying it. By buying games cheaply I don't feel any guilt when I drop them unceremoniously for being hard work.

[biggytitbo]

I never pay more than about £10 for games, its one of the advantages of been about 2 years behind. I'm playing Call of Duty Infinite warfare now and it cost me £4.

[Jerzy Bondov]

If everybody waited for 2 years like Biggy there would be no games made. Makes you think.

[biggytitbo]

Some people just can't wait though can they? Wazzocks.

A hundred quid, do these cunts come on a 50 Mbit cartridge or something? Have a word

What do you guy's think ?

Zelda Breath of the Wild wasn't worth 60, let alone 100.

Kirby Star Ally? You bets pay ME a hunner to play that shit.

She was very good in Cheers though

Well any real game does ask you to spend £100's in DLC's and Microtransactions now. Only shit one's with no long term business sense don't do that.

What do you guy's think ?

I think maybe the opposite. What if all games were free and microtransactions weren't allowed, only Patreons and "pay what you think it's worth" and maybe merchandising for the big corporate fuckers. Games would absolutely have to be good (or at least the developers would have to try).

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 would never have been made under this model, which is a good sign. Under the "must cost $100" model I think it would have still made a lot of children cry, because that fucker was sitting on shelves at full price for months after it was being trashed in the press.

The only immediate reason I can think of for this model failing would be brands that generated a lot of blind loyalty. Some politics shithead like Rush Limbaugh could maybe expand his empire releasing a shitty game on the basis that it buys you further membership into his club.

[Twed]

Or maybe that's mental, I dunno.

[Cuellar]

No, I'd never buy another game. I spent 50 quid on RDR2 and feel like I got shafted. Hunner? Forget it.

[Blue Jam]

What if every game was a hundred quid but every console was twenty pence? It'd be just like the 90's.

[EditGlitch Removal Person]

Happy to help.

[madhair60]

Slept on this and have come to the conclusion that it's a great idea. 100% on board - or should I say £100 on board?? ;)

[Lost Oliver]

I think you should say 100 pounds of flesh on board.

[Jerzy Bondov]

Unbelievably wrong headed conclusion. Perhaps it would have been best if you had continued to sleep, forever, ie died.

[Delete Delete Delete]

The Boston Crab should be charged a £100 per posts, which would mean only the very best of his posts would make it through.

[The Boston Crab]

I'm almost a thousandaire so that would be no problem for me mate

[Fry]

I could well see you paying a hundred quid for a new version of Dr. Mario, Bosto. You're beautiful in that way.

Someone here (in the RDR2 thread, I think) made the point that video games probably offer the best value for money of all media now. With RDR2 you're paying less than £1 per hour of the campaign, and with something like Dishonored 2 you could complete the campaign two different ways and double your money's worth. Games like Titanfall 2 have a campaign and a fuckload of multiplayer modes. Wolfenstein 2 has bonus missions after the campaign... With a blu-ray of a film (for example) you're paying more like £10 an hour (and it might even feature some of the same actors as those games).

Maybe that's all bollocks, but when you buy an AAA game today you can be reasonably sure that the developers won't have taken the piss.
