This is it right here. Nothing Sonic has done has even come close.

All companies will need to raise prices over time due to inflation, more or less. Video games have been $50-60 for a long time ($60 during cart days, $50 during ps1 and ps2, then back to $60).

Companies like EA would rather have a tiered system (good, better, best) where some pay more and some pay less. Some have tons of microtransactions.

Really, they simply need to raise prices more often. To $70 or $80 or whatever. It will really impact only early adopters, as games drop in price so fast (which actually helps devs/pubs get more money than they would otherwise believe it or not, as price and sales have an inverse relationship).

Great video though. I'm glad someone is putting in the time to research and call companies out on their BS.

@Wasdee: THQ failed basically because it way overestimated demand for the WII garbage products. Before 2010 was a different time and is hard to compare to now. Companies made more games and took more risks. Now they make less games monetize the profitable ones. It's a great strategy, but it also allows for competition to creep in and slow eat away at their market share. I believe over time some of these giant publishers may dissolve. Eventually you have to take some risks in business.

I think you're discounting the video a bit too much. He has financial statements as evidence, while you have nothing, yet you claim on high your opinion is correct.

Whatever, continue to discredit this video and bury your head in the sand. Like I said, they could have raised prices.

Any money you spent on those games you'll never get back. No point in forcing yourself to play something you don't find interesting. Most of the 8 or 9 rated games on most sites are just well-polished very small iterations on other games in a series or genre. So you will eventually get tired of FPS games if you play only CoD and EA shooters, for example, but the new Doom is a refreshing take on the genre.

Having played all of those games, save Batman, I would recommend X-Com 2(especially if you haven't played the 1st one) or Total War Warhammer 2 (again, especially if you haven't played the first one).

I beat Prey, but I didn't think it was that great. I'd wait for a discount there. DOS2 was okay, but I am getting bored with CRPGs personally. Cuphead is pretty fun, but very hard, don't be fooled by the visuals.

I can agree with you on Turok 2 (no one holds this game in high regard, not sure why it's on your list), GTA 4 (personally my least favorite GTA), and Fallout 3 (shame on Bethesda).

Hating one of the best RPGs ever in KotOR, well GTFO. haha jk. I just can't understand how you don't like the story. The combat hasn't aged well and had issues back then, but I love this game. KotOR 2 on the other hand isn't nearly as good and maybe you played that by mistake instead of KotOR?

Always off. It makes the game look worse and makes me a bit queasy. This also applies to effects like film grain. No thanks

I would have to agree with multiple posters on Wolfenstien: The New Order. It was a generic FPS for the most part and the story was stupid, I couldn't get into it. Was playing on hard and there was a huge difficulty spike at a certain part, but I had already gotten so far on hard so I refused to lower the difficulty. Also, I wasn't having fun with it.

Skyrim is also a huge letdown, as is not a very big improvement over Oblivion or Morrowind. I guess it should be expected as Bethesda has shown a track record of wanting to make lower quality stories as time goes on. The Nordic setting didn't help, it's a bit overused in games imho. Oh well. Most people love the game so I know I'm in the minority.

For me personally, it would be League of Legends. Tons of time sunk in and spent over $100, just to deal with that toxic community and have the champions I bought originally nerfed and completely outclassed by new ones. Not to mention the ridiculous grind for runes/rune pages.

@joshrmeyer: I don't have the game, but I doubt the emote costs that much, unless it is a bundle with a lot of other things included. In general, buying that stuff is not advised, especially when you'll be needing the money for all the DLC content you have to buy. Destiny is a black hole for you wallet.

Thank you for that public service announcement (everyone on this site already knows this, try posting it on a non-gaming site). Did you write this report for class, or are you a troll?

These games are always not fun to play. They require too much precision/countering. Give me any of the N64/PS1 wrestling games over these ones by 2k.
