That's more due to PC game stores having a stronger regional pricing policy than console stores. On PC, the games can be cheaper (than US without tax) in certain countries depending on the store. On consoles, usually it's the US Price without tax the one that is like a base one and then other countries are equal or higher in price (maybe depending on region, don't know if Japan for example is cheaper or more expensive)Why not? In my country PC games are always cheaper than console games. This is nothing new for me.
lol at people being like "we've happily been fucked for years".
Nah. The gold armor and weapon skins are only for ascended edition. same for the preorder skins.i'm still debating if it is worth getting the gold armor by paying 40 more dollars for the ascended edition. I kinda want to try this purely out of nextgen hype. It does look good visually. But I kinda want that expensive edition armor lol. Anyway to know if it is all in the game late game.
PC £49.99 on EGS UK ($66.89), PS5 £69.99 ($93.65)
£20 or $26.76 difference
For me (EU) PC games (AAA) are always 60€ (except from Microsoft). PlayStation games 70€ and this new gen 80€ as it seems. Godfall is indeed 60€ on Epic store and 80€ on PlayStation store.In the US at least, if you want something cheaper you have to get it from somewhere like GMG or CDKeys to get the best price. If you buy a AAA game at launch off Steam, UPlay, whatever it will be $60.
I still can't believe publishers want Europe to pay 80€ for next gen games, this is just insane pricing.
NINETY FOUR UNITED STATES DOLLARS??? What the absolute fuck. That's nearly the difference between discless ps5 and disc drive ps5.
Yeah if you release digital only consoles, remove the possibility to buy the games anywhere else, have singleplayer games that require always online, you can then price hike because there's no competition anymore. I missed the first batch by a hair and am getting a PS5 as soon as pre-orders are available again, but it's kinda bizarre how they're doing an Xbox One and get pretty much zero pushback.
I mean, the only people doing the 70 dollar MSRP are Sony and Activision right?This $70 new game thing is just dumb as hell. I know, I know, "gAmEs ArE cHeApEr tHaN tHeYvE eVeR bEen!"
Wages haven't really grown much and in-game purchases, MTX, etc. have grown to the point that companies are making BILLIONS of dollars off of them. I'll never understand consumers cheering on getting nickel and dimed with no apparent benefit on their end.
Console gamers are getting screwed, what a bummer.
Rant over. Sorry. I love you, Era.
If it doesn't it will be DOA. They have done a really poor job showing off the game and engaging the communities concerns. We've yet to see any co op gameplay. Being stuck on EGS on PC and 70 dollars on PS5 if the reviews suck the game is dead.
How so? I get that Godfall is unique in its online only implementation. For now at least, but Sony explicitly allows it and has icons for it. Not trolling here, as said I don't have a skin in the game, I have / am getting all three consoles, genuinely would like to know why trying to make the comparison is bizarre.Because this has nothing to do with Xbox One and their online only scheme. Even trying to make the comparison is bizarre.
An online only (even when playing alone) game published by Gearbox with supposedly new content updates? That's a GAAS for me even if they don't charge for those content updates. But I'm often wrong, what can I say.
Oh they are charging. They are just going the paid expansion route rather than the free content paid for microtrasactions route. I agree the game can definitely die. It can sell like crap get it's one promised Expansion and end there.An online only (even when playing alone) game published by Gearbox with supposedly new content updates?

Also, I don't trust Gearbox. But that's a different matter.
