To be honest I will probably be willing to pay $100, knowing that it will be the only game for me for a few months. I will more likely not have a game pass subscription by that time.
^ I bet a lot of people would feel that way. Lets just hope the rest of the industry doesn't see it as a green light to all try and ask such prices for their games.
I wish modern games would go to 90s NeoGeo cart prices ($200-300 USD). More money for the industry and I could focus exclusively on my backlog.
Lol. Thought about this the other day.
I think Rockstar can get away with that price but I'm not sure about the rest of the industry? GTA is like the mega blockbuster that only seems to come out with a new release every couple of generations. Assassins Creed? Nah. Halo? Maybe? Madden? Maybe.
There was a story yesterday that some company or financial analyst saying Rockstar charging $100 for GTA 6 would be the impetus for publishers to raise game prices to that level for AAA games going forward.
For some reason $100 = £100 even though that not the exchange rate wtf.
I don't think I would ever pay that much for a game.
What's the most expensive game you've ever bought?
Mine was an imported version of Streetfighter 2 Turbo on SNES from Japan for £90. I was a kid so I didn't have cash, but I traded in a shit load of games for it.
When Yakuza 2 was not going to be released in the US I thought it was a good idea to buy the Japanese version and a Japanese Playstation 2. Uh huh. That's how dumb I usd to be (with money), I'm still dumb in every other respect. Geez, Probably $100 for the game and at least $250 for the console. So that would be the most expensive game I've ever bought.
Maybe not, I think I paid a fair bit for Tengen Tetris, Snatcher for Sega CD and Panzer Dragoon Saga...

Was there no disc or something that allowed you to play Japanese games on a western ps2?
I think the most I've paid for a game was $80 to get my hands on a used copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy after its limited release. Couldn't tell you how much I paid for N64 games, though -- it's just been too long. I keep hearing they were more expensive than 50 USD, though.
If I'm really wanting a new game in a future in which the standard price is 70 USD, I'd pay it. Until then, I'll work on my big backlog and wait for sales. I'm just glad my excitement levels for new games don't run high. No, my drug is nostalgia, unfortunately.

I would not have even thought to do something like that. I was in a weird Japanese store, I saw yakuza 2, the PS2 and a KK Slider plushie and I had no other thought than to buy them on the spot.
I have a Freeloader disc for GameCube. Works perfectly. I thought I had lost it a few year ago, but it recently popped up again. Just as well, as my Japanese Panasonic Q is slowly dying.

I seem to remember Nintendo giving some special discount on Prime trilogy digitally. Unless I'm going mad.

I am on the road today and I forgot my laptop mouse. God I hate touchpads. No news updates today Superfirends.
Digitizer pens all the way! (when on the road)

Was there no disc or something that allowed you to play Japanese games on a western ps2?Those would fit very well on there for sure.
Kameo was very average.
All Switch2 needs is the new Monster Hunter with crossplay.
It was one of the first games I played on the 360 as well. Really enjoyed it and dug the look of it.
I’d be very surprised if Monster Hunter Wilds wasn’t on the Switch 2.

You have no impulse control?Impulse control? What's that?
