100% based opinion. The Neo Geo is the perfect example of this. Undeniably a luxury product in the video game market, but it did offer an unparalleled emulation of the arcade experience that arguably justified the price point. If you add up all the years of jamming quarters into that little slot, like any self-respecting arcade junkie was doing on the daily, it didn't actually take all that many hours of Metal Slug to add up to the cost of a Neo Geo. Fuck Metal Slug 3, ripoff ass incredibly fucking fun game, I hate you but I can't quit you, and you know I'm stuffing something in your dirty little slot if I see you or your sister Metal Slug X around town.

The entire reason Sega was so successful in the 90s but started to fall down is because they always focused on "bringing the arcade experience home". If you love fighting games and shmups and arcade ports, the Sega Saturn is one of the greatest consoles of all time. However, if you're looking for more narrative-heavy games or games that last hours and hours in one playthrough, your options were sparse.

If i’m being honest, considering inflation and increased cost of development for triple a games, it seems like the 60 dollar price tag is really holding back companies from taking any risks. For how expensive development is, their only way to make good profit is by making something that is super watered down so that it appeals to as wide an audience as possible. I totally support games costing 100 dollars or more if it means developers can actually afford to appeal to a more specific audience

From what I have seen in the last 5 years or so, most of the games marketing themselves as being $60 almost always are sub par and/or feel empty (not just in gameplay but in the feel of it). However, games marketting themselves at $40 or below tend to be a lot more valuable and replayable. You can go right now and buy a $5 game that has virtually unlimited hours of gameplay that you can play at any point and never get tired (Ex: Vampire Survivor). Or you can spend $60 on a game you will play for maybe 30 hour (if even) and then never touch it again because you are looking at the new game.

Litterally 90 percent of AAA games are 60 dollars, those games can be masterpieces sometimes. And I’d say around 5% to 10% if Indies are actually good, which is where you get your moneys worth. Also, vampire survivors is a niche genre, the reason it’s steam page is so positive because the only people who buy it are 100% sure they’ll like it

I'd be fine with the standard $60-70 price tag on new games if half of them weren't also tacking on microtransactions and releasing barely playable unfinished messes. Maybe if publishers/devs would stop chasing the newest tech, trends and graphics and instead put their time an money into just making a complete product that is actually fun, less people would bitch about the price of games.

Time Crisis 2 was the best arcade game ever because not only could it be completed with ONE CREDIT, the developers clearly designed it that way because a high score posted after a perfect run had a gold star next to it. Yes, it took a lot of practice to be able to do this but it was the cheapest AND most satisfying arcade experience. Analogous perhaps to being REALLY good at fighting games and playing at busy times.

love your videos bro! I've been subscribed for a while now. Well done!

I'm actually really curious about the future development cycles of games because they need to find a balance between price, quality, and development time. Overall I'd say that the consumer demands will keep rising in terms of quality. This means more time needs to be spent on the game, which means more money will be spent on the game, and finally the consumer paying more for the game. People are already complaining that games are expensive and often unfinished when released, and I feel like this trend is getting worse after releases like Cyber Punk, and the new Battlefield. Then there are investors who often threaten development if it takes too long and start creating a lot of time pressure (oh those sweet holiday release days). In that situation, a company could hire more people to make the development process quicker. That also means more money that needs to be invested in the game, and the game will be more expensive for the consumer again. The only game I've seen so far that may break this pattern is Star Citizen (I am still skeptical to some extent). It's the only game I know that has spent this much time and money on development, and the sheer attention to quality can definitely be seen. I know it's a meme that our generation might never get to play it, but even with the bugs it's looking quite promising. Keeping that in mind, I'm happy to wait since it's the most ambitious game I've ever seen and I'm curious to see where it goes. But what if Star Citizen becomes industry standard? Do we need to wait that long for all games? And how about the MMO industry? I feel like this might work in favor of MMO's because those games are long-term investments that can continue to generate revenue years after launch. That makes the initial time and money investment needed for higher quality MMO's more appealing and I wonder if that appeal will overtake the development of RPG's. On the other hand, I can see that 20 year development cycles might be jarring. I'd be in my forties by the time a game like that would release if they start working on it today. I'm also no expert on this matter by the way. This is just the way I currently see it, and this has been on my mind for a while!

Asmon, you realize that $500 is a major purchase for most people, right? Many people don't even have that much saved up, and most of those that do have to keep it in case of emergencies.

16:33 I had cicics pizza as the one in my neighborhood! And my arcade of choice was the dinosaur king arcade game! When you beat an enemy for the first time in the default game. After you lost the machine would print out a randomized dinosaur card and you could scan that card into the machine to then forever have that dinosaur as your battler from the start and everytime you beat the first enemy you would get another card. This came out before injustice btw. I must’ve been like 10 to 12 around that time! I loved it! And I witnessed the downfall of that specific cabinet. Because I was the one who found it broken! 😢And reported it broken to to the staff. Came back the next and it wasn’t there! 😭😭😭

the being expensive thing is depending more on ur country economy situation like a 60 dollars game in my country is equal a 1 months salary for a part time job so ye that's expensive

"So you have to spend nine hundred dollars to plays this:" "NO, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, THAT WAS SO LIT" Dude, too true.

If you think Gaming is an expensive hobby, you should try mountaineering, snowboarding, gardening, rock climbing, paragliding, dating or other hobbys people can have. Sure, you can do all of those without any gear, but you will sooner or later realize, jackets, proper boots, safety gear, the ride to the location, training to be fit etc. need a LOT of money.

I think another reason games can afford to be cheaper now is that more people buy them now comapred to old games when they first came out so they make up for the lower cost with way more sales

The problem with $ per hour of gameplay is that a lot of game companies know this mentality and add time wasting content to make it seem like there’s more value than there is.

What I hate about modern games is the price.. They think that if we can buy a PS5 we can also automatically afford 70 dollars games

One issue is regarding just looking at inflation prices, is salary of the workers in that era were lower, the amount of people that could do that job as well as buying is lower. then the follow question is what is the ratio of those people compared to this era

I spent 130 on dark elves, changed my life as I took out (1500 point count maximum) Ultramarines squads at 1409 point- cost was over $300 due to several captains. 1513 chaos space marines- they just cost high but everyone let my brother go that far past the mark. $200- $300 Space wolves 1492 points- yea my friend had two squads and we needed a last guy to fill the tournament so three people had two different species. Cost $300-$500. He wouldn’t tell me the actual numbers but I took a glance at his reciept. Blood shot orcs(the guy had made his own orc clan and story) 1500 (nobs are op, don’t get surrounded without a psychic on hand or a suicidal trooper with a plasma grenade)cost $700 Needless to say my last opponent was freakin tyranides. With a hive tyrant that could take 20 wounds. But I got lucky since my leader had the agoniser which obliterated anything that it did 5+ wounds to. Edit: Btw mine was Dark eldar 676 count even with the leader and two basic squads with snipers in both, and frags in both but more for suicide than just for survival if I knew they could not win. Leader had dark shield agoniser, humonculous mask to become immune to fear but project fear in those in close combat. And a pistol. No frag. Minimum paint(dollar tree paint just to play.) For those who have never played a table Top game and every roll changed your characters life and chances of survival. Get some friends and try it out with just paper(literally balls of paper and color them and someone draw a map on paper and each square is like a mini story, do you go forward or split up and take out the enemy but leave yourself open for attacks from reinforcements that could be waiting)

We bought a switch, Mario Cart 8, and controllers for about $5-600, let's call it $600. That purchase has provided countless rewarding family game nights with no additional payments required. Gaming is many times cheaper than almost any other hobby. Video games haven't even increased in price for inflation, that's crazy.

companies value games with expected income so they earn development cost + extra. problem is, once game gets traction and sells more than was "enough", companies don't reevaluate game price. 60 for most AAA games comes from history of other games selling at that price, so why bother changing

One thing dunkey should update is physical vs digital. I’ve saved so much money on digital game sales. $10 for the Harry Potter lego collection vs $20 bargain bin at Walmart. $5 for metal gear 2 vs $15-35 on eBay. I can keep going

In Australia all AAA games come out at $110 standard edition

I actually can't believe he brought up Ridge Racer. My first PSP game

dunkey released this video like a year ago that's why there's no OW2 reference or I'm sure he would have :D

If I buy to myself then 60 bucks is just expensive. If I'm buying to my kid then it's wasted money as I want my kid not to be like me. However, I did buy a game and he cleared the whole game in like 6 hours. It was Luigis mansion for the switch. I asked him if there was more to do in the game and he said there wasn't. What was the point? I spent like 600 hours on super mario 3 because I sucked at gaming but it was fun. Same with mega man games. I was an adult when I cleared these games.

My name on XBL is Stagnetti for Sea of Thieves. Never see other pirates references in the wild lol

in canada any game thats new and bought in a retail store triple A or not cost 91 dollars.
