game complain repeat the grumblings of gaming eccentricity game complain repeat the grumblings of gaming eccentricity home hush my cynical mouth feature poll review video when does a game cost too much posted by karl weller on june 5 2025 posted in feature tagged expensive games gaming life price ps5 switch 2 leave a comment the cost of new games has always been a contentious obstacle for most in the community what is the maximum you are prepared to pay for new content 50 70 100 everyone s tolerance is bound to be different and though there are numerous variables that go into a decision like this other than price i believe that 70 may well exceed my limit for acceptability there are few if any game series that can command such extravagant price hikes something like gta could price significantly higher than most other aaa titles but if it does exceed the current pricing range of other conventional titles that could shift others into doing the same where does this end when does a game become widely accepted as too expensive also another persistent issue is the size of the games take the newly released elder scrolls iv oblivion remake at a cost of 50 which i personally believe is about 10 more than i m willing to pay the download capacity is over 120gb now my ps5 bolstered by an external 2tb hard drive is struggling to compile a back catalogue of titles that is hardly extensive now i can manage this collection a little more efficiently maneuvering save files or deleting games entirely would free up more space for such a sizable download but even if i were comfortable with the price which i m not or made a concerted effort to organize my save space which i should do really with my internet connection presumably powered by an old oil fuelled dickensian router would require a full lunar sequence to download they these may seem like trivial and wholly personal issues that aren t necessarily applicable to you but that s because our lines in the sand are in very different places and it s not one i m prepared to cross yet i say all of this having pre ordered a switch 2 money and why i don t care posted by karl weller on may 16 2025 posted in feature tagged family life living money parenting time leave a comment money money money a fleeting commodity that only seems to get more elusive now personally i m not someone overly concerned with its accumulation wealth or in my case the absence of it is not something i aspire to now perhaps things would be easier if i was driven by affluence the pursuit of material possessions or just a healthy balance for a potential retirement perhaps but would i be happier honestly i don t think so sure it would be convenient not to have to worry about a mortgage utilities bills or the seemingly fluctuating economy that rids you of your hard earned graft but why subject myself to the misery of the rat race when time is the only valuable resource my partner often mistakes my inactivity for laziness which often prompts her to impose various household jobs to occupy myself during my supposed downtime now i understand the confusion i have attempted to explain on multiple occasions that my reserve of energy is greatly reduced by the exertion i yield during my nocturnal job essentially emphasize the fact that i m bloody tired her day is finished any additional tasks that she undertakes are approached under the proviso that she can stop rest and not have to worry about expelling anymore energy if she doesn t want i however do not have that luxury imagine if i made a concerted effort to pursue more money to forsake my time family and possibly my weekend doing a job i m only doing because of how much money i could earn i get so little time as it is with my weekends compromised by working late finishing at 3 30am on a saturday morning does severely limit my prospects with the family most of that time is spent recovering from the fatigue of the previous evening so dedicating more of my time to another job i hate purely for financial assurance is just not interesting to me because i ve discovered over the years that there isn t any job that i d enjoy doing regardless of what the money is unless the job involves reclining on my sofa watching movies drinking copious amounts of tea and waiting for all this to blow over is gaming only for the rich posted by karl weller on may 9 2025 posted in feature tagged cost expensive games gaming life living rich leave a comment it s fair to say that my zest for gaming has somewhat diminished over the past year now that s not to say that there aren t games that i would like to play monster hunter wild is still permeating as my next potential addiction the elder scrolls oblivion remake is a wonderful if curious surprise that i d be very interested to explore gta vi which last week received its obligatory delay is now 12 months away though i have my switch 2 pre order ready for next month s release that s really a console used to entertain the family rather than a system to absorb myself into but aside from that i find there is little to be excited for in this industry now this doesn t mean there aren t great games being released but with the looming industry rise in software cost potentially crippling the more casual consumer you do start to wonder if you are being priced out it is such a huge risk now time as well as financial limitations dictate this hobby especially at my age if i m not working which currently involves overnight shifts i m sleeping which again requires me to sleep during the day then most of my time is dictated by family responsibilities so finding any time to immerse myself in a game particularly expansive open world rpg s with branching quests and narratives is a tricky thing to navigate particularly when you consider that the only time i get for myself is in the evenings so because of work i only get weekend evenings by which time i m liable to fall asleep with my character standing there tapping his foot in frustration and tapping his imaginary wristwatch wondering why i ve abandoned him in a troll infested cave for 3 hours and there s the cost what if by some miracle i ve found the time to indulge in this expensive hobby can i really risk spending 70 on a game i don t like sure you can take the time to read reviews gauge some kind of insight from public opinion even relying on instinct to make an informed decision but that doesn t guarantee you ll like it i was convinced that i d love balders gate 3 everything i d read and heard suggested as much and though i respected the game and the developers remit when it comes to creating games i just couldn t get into it now that s not necessarily the games fault and certainly more of a me problem but it is still a lot of money to spend on a game you are not enjoying it used to be that you could rent a game a process that would give you ample time to assess whether a game was right for you but even if renting was still such a thing you ve now got to find 80 worth of disposable income to purchase it somehow the elder scrolls iv oblivion has returned posted by karl weller on may 1 2025 posted in feature tagged elder scrolls oblivion playstation remake sony xbox 2 comments so elder scrolls iv oblivion remastered has been released no preamble no lengthy waiting period hell not even an announced release date now this may speak to just out of touch i am with the current slate of gaming releases and the conduct of games studios to not even promote software you d expect would warrant advertising considering the time effort and money that goes into any game especially from a publisher as renowned as bethesda but here we are relishing the remake of a game i remember with such fondness it could almost be like i was reminiscing about my own daughter walking for the first time oblivion was not only my first elder scrolls game but my first bethesda title by the time i d gotten around to playing it skyrim was only a year or so from its initial release on the playstation and though the exploits of the dragonborne would receive consistent some might argue excessive rereleases oblivion was somewhat neutered perhaps even ridiculed for its outdated combat graphics and now legendary voice work so it s strange to me that after such an extended period bethesda has just shadow dropped a remaster for a game that could conceivably just release again on modern consoles with minimal effort and cost i m not mad just curious sure it might have been nice if they had given me but only me some notification about its impending release just to give me some time to budget for it but why so mysterious with what appears to be a well polished dare i say playable bethesda game and to make it immediately available on the playstation is shrewd marketing by microsoft you relocate xbox exclusive content by a company you paid an exorbitant amount of money to purchase for the sole reason of exclusivity announce to your competitor hey look we can play nicely and earn an additional stream of revenue from a competitors store and considering the dearth of playstation exclusives that aren t rereleases of the last of us this must rankle sony what i hope this does is twofold remind players just how wonderful oblivion is but also provoke sony out of their own self infflicted inertia and create the sony games that used to make xbox jealous so i pre ordered a switch 2 posted by karl weller on april 17 2025 posted in feature tagged console games gaming nintendo pre order switch 2 leave a comment considering my previous post whereby i lambasted nintendo s direction for the next iteration of the switch i feel something of a hypocrite when i say that i ve pre ordered this misbegotten console my shift from modest skepticism to must have day 1 wasn t one of sudden reassurance by nintendo or even my typical proclivity for impulse but rather an investment right now as it stands i have the funds to purchase the switch 2 having set aside a tidy little reserve for a console i was confident wouldn t and couldn t disappoint though my reservations about the console are still relevant with the sharp price increase of first party games being a particular blotch one that i believe will have reverberating circumstances for the entire industry i m still optimistic about the purchase it s understandable that many would view my patronage to a conglomerate like nintendo as a betrayal a corporate shill who cares little for the rising gatekeeping from the rich that prosper from the objections of the poor but really it s just a selfish endeavor one motivated by the potential investment of owning a console that at some point will release with titles i can play with my daughter mario kart is huge in our household being the only game that even my partner will happily participate in there is bound to be a new animal crossing game in the near future too another title that both myself and daughter are massive proponents of and the thing is my daughter is getting older and already regarding me as cringe so it won t be much longer until she wants nothing to do with me at least with the switch 2 we can still have somewhat of a connection even if it means she humiliates me in shine thief posts navigation older entries recent posts when does a game cost too much money and why
