Eric at The POW Block says: " I am a budgeted gamer. This means I don't have the money to play all the fancy new games when they come out. Instead I normally have to dig through the ads and bargain bins to find the game I wanted last year in order to play the few amazing games I have deemed a must play on launch day."
The game looks too clean without it.
We've put together 5 reasons why we believe the arrival of the Call of Duty franchise on Xbox Game Pass will be a big deal for Microsoft.
XDefiant will implement console-only crossplay sometime after launch, Microsoft's rules doesn't allow to disable crossplay in-game.
Developers don't immediately switch to a new project when they finish one. They usually take a break, go on vacation and whatnot, before they dive into a new project. Even so, various parts of the team works on new projects at different stages.
Do you not know how the industry works?
Also, some games don't need substancial DLC. Stop whining about being poor and be happy with what you get. If you want to buy DLC, why don't you just save that money and buy a whole game so you can be caught up.
Being a Budgeted Gamer sucks, but at least it's better than not being a gamer at all.
Being a budget gamer is better than being a pirate
If your an Xbox 360 gamer, then budget games are for you. Seriously, with $50-$60 you can easily go into Gamestop and get 10 games or more, most exclusive 360 games too.
Games like Kameo which is like $4, Gears 1 $4.99, Gears 2 $7.99, Mass Effect $12.99 and the list goes on and on like that.
I've found it tougher to get PS3 games on a budget, the cheapest one is MGS4 which is $9.99 used, I never even see 3rd party games that cheap on PS3. Even like Kung Fu Panda is still like $19.99 used on PS3.
I do a solid mix of new and used games, I try to support developers on games like Alan Wake and of course anything like Halo or Gears I buy at midnight launches, this year BulletStorm and Dragon Age 2 got added to my midnight launch list. Cant wait.
Get a second job or a better paying job or budget other areas of your life if you really want to get more games. I know so many people who Smoke cigarettes and literally blow $200 a month on that habit or a Beer habit, personally I'd rather have something like a game then either of those things.
recently I decided to become a budget gamer, funny how I come across this article, it barely talks about it. As Raven_Nomad said you can now get many games cheaply, I recently bought mass effect 1, up next is fallout 3, these were all great games when they came out.
