How many full priced games do you plan to purchase this year?
- Thread starter Toriko
- Start date
Already bought Mario 3D World and Bravely Default 2. Pokemon Snap and Skyward Sword are my next games.
12-15 I suppose, but we have a pretty small picture of what's coming. Stuff I'll be buying at full price for sure is: Monster Hunter Rise, Pokemon Snap, the two Famicom Detective Club games, Mario Golf, Skyward Sword HD, Diamond/Pearl Remakes. I'll probably buy Resi8, and I'm sure there'll be a few things on the PS5 & Series X I'll want, but for now there's not much that I'm super stoked about.
Unless I have Amazon credit or some other kind of gift card, none. I'll be waiting for price drops.
None. Between price drops and the "ship it now, finish it maybe" approach to game development these days buying at launch is a mug's game
Really holding my breath to see what actually makes release this year, makes it hard to plan any purchases.
Which are confirmed for 2021:
NieR Replicant
Returnal
Resident Evil Village
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
Deathloop
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Ghostwire Tokyo
Cyberpunk 2077
Horizon II: Forbidden West
GOW Ragnarok ( but I think it will be delayed 2022 100% )
Legend of Mana
Little Nightmares II PS5 version

Basically only first-party Nintendo Switch games since Nintendo doesn't discount them very deeply, very often. The rest (third-party Switch or XB/PS), I will keep an eye out for sales.
Just a handful probably.
Horizon Forbidden West
Halo Infinite
Ratchet & Clank
God of War
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
Resident Evil Village
I'll wait for sales or price drops on the rest.

None. GMG and Fanatical will likely hit me with a 15-20% off if you buy now offer on any game I intend to get at launch, CDKeys is usually always cheap, and someone is going to shove their game out a month before Steam's summer sale where it will inevitably be $10 cheaper, so I'm good.
Unless I score a PS5 at some point, then that'll change things. But I doubt I'm getting a PS5 this year.
fake edit: I forgot about Zelda; Nintendo shit never goes on sale. Maybe Target will have some deals.

Too many real life expenses coming up right now to seriously ocnsider blowing 80-90 CAD on a AAA game.
Hopefully at some point in the year things will stabilize, at which point I'll probably buy a bunch in the 30-50 CAD range, to support retro re-releases or indie devs.

If I'm able to get a PS5 then Horizon and God of War, even tho I don't think God of War will release.
Ratchet too but the chances of getting a PS5 when Ratchet release is close to 0.
So probably 0 lol
Now that I stopped to think about it probably the first time in the last 15 years this could happen.

I wasn't planning on paying full price for any, but so far I've bought Hitman 3 and Mario 3D World/BF....so there will probably be something else I won't be able to not buy, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head. If there's nothing else I'm interested in in May...I could see a reality where I choose to spend my summer replaying the Mass Effect games in ME Remastered, but also, I just played those games less than a year ago, so we'll see.
I'm all about Day 1 Purchases still, but paying full-price out of pocket? Nah. Discount Codes, amazon gift cards, etc though? For sure.
Still salty about the GCU ending though, that 20% by default was gangsta and was the best way to get console stuff at a reasonable price.

None.
PC games I buy even as a preorder are never full priced.
That's absurd.
Possibly ratchet?
If reviews are solid and it being a PS exclusive

Resident Evil Village
Psychonauts 2
Elden Ring
Ninja Gaiden Master Collection
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance
Those might also be the only new releases I buy this year, assuming they all release. I'll wait and see on how Baldur's Gate 3, Kena, Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit In Wonder Labyrinth, Gestalt & Cinder and a few other games (mostly indies) review before I potentially bite.

all of last gen i only purchased 3 games at full priced.
i'll probably purchase 1 this year along side my upgrade to ps5. it's worth it to me to pay full price along side my shiny new toy to feel that next gen glory. i'm hoping for that title to be ratchet and clank. GoW is probably a day-1 title for me as well but that's probably 2022 at this point. not sure if i'll get anything else full price on ps5,.. nothing else announced is day 1 for me at least. i really don't mind waiting a year to buy games at $20. my backlog already has more games than i could play in 3 years so it's not like i don't have anything to play.
