Yeah it really makes me think something has to change.

Especially since an Fps should cost less than open world with lots of characters and locations.

These numbers sound insane. I wonder how it compares to the developpment costs of other big games.

I also wonder how it conpares to the cost of similar games like Killzone 3 or Gears Of War from 15 years ago.

Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.

These brands selling their own refurbished products is great news.

It gives you the ability to still support them while not creating directly more e-waste and benefitting from a cheaper price.

Yeah I’m always surprised when people are complaining about the cost to buy (not to produce) a game nowadays.

Where I live, games are way cheaper than they used to be during the Playstation 1 Era and it’s now really easy to buy used games online.

Of course if you buy every season pass or special skin for they used to game, it ends up more expensive.

Well I meant more something like you driving a car fast in an open world and having objects appearing in front of you because everything isn’t loaded yet.

Or landscape disappearing from your rear view mirror in racing games in order to save some memory.

These things wouldn’t cost anything to solve if we gave up some graphical fidelity.

I think it’s crazy that we always want prettier games when you still have visual glitches like cars disappearing in your rearview mirror, buildings and textures appearing late, screen tearing when you make your POV spin.

I don’t really need way better graphics, but I’d need these things gone as they take me out of my game way more than no raytracing or a slight fps drop.

I think these things would be easy to solve if we didn’t always get better graphics.
