Doom The Dark Ages, Space Marine 2, CoD: BO6.

This just seems like a more subtle posturing for “games should cost more”. Video game customers are notoriously right with their wallets. The lockdown boom was a fluke, not a new norm.

It really is. I remember the music of Doom 2016 and Eternal being something I wanted to listen to even after I stopped playing. The music of D:TDA just…I can’t remember once I turn the game off.

I’ve said this elsewhere before but video games are a commodity and an impulse buy. Very few people view the next video game as an essential purchase for themselves. So sure people can have them and haha about how much the cost of developing a video game has gone up till they’re blue in the face but that is not going to change how the consumer will feel at the register buying the game. If the person at the register does not feel that the price is justified they’re not going to pay it they’re going to wait for a sale, borrow it from a friend if they can get access to physical media, or pirate it.

Just finished the Front Mission 1 remake and started the Front Mission 2 remake. Found out why it wasn’t as popular. Playing a bit of Space Marine 2, CoD, Warframe when the mood takes me. I also played some more Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, which is like a spiritual sequel to Jet Set Radio Future.

Well, I don’t have a desk job and I’m on console. So while I can sympathize, I’m not really able to offer advice.

I’m bouncing around several games right now. New season of CoD, Space Marine 2, Balatro, Monster Train, and STALKER 2.

I also started Valkyria Chronicles 4 recently and have been enjoying that as well.
