Just got Stranger of Paradise for $20. Always had interest in the game, but the mixed reviews plus having so many games to play made me want to wait. At $20, I’ll take a look.. when I get it to it LOL. How about You, SW?What games would you like to try at a bargain price?

After the reviews, Callisto was my first choice, but after playing it for around 2h, and having seen the whole playthrough, i wouldn't play it even if someone paid me $60 to play through it.

As for trying something for cheap, i don't know. I usually buy games that interest me for whatever price they're sold on day one cuz, well, i didn't wait years to play a certain game, to wait another year plus before it drops in price, and games that i am not interested in, i don't care if they're cheap, i simply don't want to waste my time on them.

Callisto Protocol. I was going to grab it on Series X at launch despite issues with gameplay people had, but then before I pulled the trigger I saw how Krapton severely neglected Xbox development. Even now after numerous patches the game doesn't have stable performance and the RT patch only seemed to offer a blurry slapdash fix and I've heard no word whether that's been updated.

So, that, coupled with the 4 month wait since launch, and the fact they've done diddly-squat to bring digital prices down, not when Dead Space Remake was killing it weeks back, and not now when Resident Evil 4 Remake is preparing to kill it launching at MetaCritic perfection, they still want $70 for that shit. Fuuuck that!

They likely over-printed and have countless copies in circulation that won't sell, that's typically why digital prices refuse to budge for some games. And considering they air-balled their 5 million launch sales target by a few million, that likely explains it.

So no price drop, I'm not buying. Plus they are releasing DLC. I'll wait for the all content edition to be bundle discounted for $10-20, or for it to come to Game Pass or PS Plus, and since they had a Sony marketing deal, that won't happen until at least 1 year from launch, as that seems rubberstamped in all their marketing deals. So, whatever comes first. I got plenty to keep me busy until then, that Dead Space Remake scratched an itch that no longer needs scratching too. I can wait.

Anyhow, got Homefront 2 on sale for $3.99, I heard it was bad, seeing if years of patches and an X|S update fixes that. And if not... it was only $3.99, no major loss.

Refuse to spend over $20 on it, however.

I'll probably get Stranger of Paradise soon myself.

If I can’t justify spending msrp for a game, it’s probably not worth my time.

Plenty. A few off the top of my head would be:

- Stranger of Paradise

- Sekiro

- Callisto Protocol

- Forspoken

- Returnal

The cheaper, the better.

Some of the big Sony games in recent years that haven't come to PC yet - I don't consider the price of a game all that expensive, but spending $800 CAD on a console just to play a couple games doesn't seem worth it to me.

GoW Ragnarok is the main one, I'll nab that as soon as it hits PC.

some others like Returnal (now on pc!), TLOU2, Horizon Forbidden West, I'll probably wait for a sale after they launch on PC since I'm not that eager to play them but wouldn't mind checking them out at some point.

Looking at that meagre list of games, I'm glad I didn't break down and buy a PS5 when GoW:R launched

I only buy 90+/100 metacritic masterpiece titles, so at a bargain reduced price I wouldn't mind trying out the 80-89 scoring titles of late such as: Dead Space remake, Hogwarts Legacy, FF7 Crisis Core and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

at a bargain basically free price I would try trash games like Callisto Protocol.

@SolidGame_basic: So, you're just confirming you dont have game pass.

Lying - it sure is hard to keep it up, huh?

Ubisoft games. I actually buys ubisoft games when its cheap enough. Recently got FarCry 5/new dawn bundle for just $5. I also dont play ubisoft games and it caused backlogs piling up. I counted last time and about 15 ubisoft titles I never touched in my library. Someday, I will finish them.

Forespoken, I guess. Reviews be damned, it still looks kind of interesting.

There are also a lot of mediocre console ports or multiplatform titles that I sort of want to try, specifically Japanese RPGs.

I will find a Japanese game I enjoy from the past few years, I swear it!

@girlusocrazy: I did not! Oops! I keep seeing it dip to 29.99 every once in a while. Maybe 19.99 once or twice. I'm gonna hold out till it hits basement bin.

What DLC do you mean? The extra costumes?

Not so much toxic as puerile and flat, even by your standards.

J/k. It was very funny.

Most Ubisoft games are bargin bin stuff for me.

I don't like Assassins' Creeds gameplay, but I do appreciate the art-work and stuff as a visual spectacle.

Only ever finished 2 Ass Creed games, everything else gets boring real fast.

Not necessarily waiting for a “bargain bin” price for it but I’d like to get God of War: Ragnarok for like $50 Canadian.

Absolutely. My issue as well.
