Bargains That Gamers Really Want

Gamers are all about bargains, since most of us can't afford to shell out $60 for every game. What we we really want comes to do getting our gaming money's worth. We demand $60 worth of content not $20, we want at least 20 hours of game play, an end to console exclusives, quicker price drops, among a few other things. What about yearly sequels and same day DLC? Goozernation wants to know what other bargains fellow gamers demand.

Instead of analyzing potential gameplay per dollar spent, let's just agree that price drops are the way to go.

jdktech20105032d ago

Be careful, they might drop the price of COD to 40 and trhen charge you 10 dollars a month to play....I would rather leave them where they are at then go down that route

NothingToGainButLove5032d ago

Honestly if they start charging monthly subscriptions then I will not be playing COD anymore. I'd suspect the fan base would drop quite a bit too.

kube005032d ago

I'd go for that, I'm sure some of us would like to see more then 6 hrs worth of gameplay out of a $60 game

Spenok5032d ago

Agreed. Though most of those games have an online mode that lengthens the gameplay spent on the game significantly.

dizzleK5032d ago

release single player games at $30-$40, charge separately for online modes. i don't use them so why should i pay for them? why should i pay a full $60 for something like cod when 75% of it is an online mode i don't use?

jaosobno5032d ago

Well said, this is a very interesting proposal.

kanetheking5032d ago

just leave it as it is noting is wrong so u don't need to fix it.

kube005032d ago

Interesting point I had never thought of that, make it multiplayer DLC of something

jdktech20105032d ago

Well as far as bargains to me....60 dollar games are fine but if you can get the dollar per hour ratio of the game to about 2 or lower...that's a good deal to me.

For example, if I get 30 hours out of Reach (and I will...trust me), then that's a great game first off and a good deal. That's how I kinda look at things....Do I think I'll really play this for 20-30 hours? If so, then I'm open to buying it

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle16d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger16d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag16d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg20d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
