Games jumped from $49.99 to $59.99 in the last generation - analysts discuss whether $70 will become the next standard for AAA titles
The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
Jack Trenton has already confirmed that the PS4 games will range from 99cents to $60.

Don't know what MS will charge.
In 2011 I bought about 25 games new 1/2 of them were crap, 1/4 were too short, the other 1/4 were good to great, some of them I'm still playing.
In 2012 I bought less than half of what I did in 2012 because I was trying to be a little more choosy what I dropped $60.00+ on and half of them turned out to be crap
Bottom line if games jump to $70.00 I'll probably cut it in half again.
why? they will be the same tech just improved by the better hardware developers wont be held back anymore games will be and should be the same price
If games become $70, that is when I stop buying games! I dont care what the game is, NO game is worth $70!
If game prices do rise, it's not like they won't go down in price. Games now go down real fast. You can get a new game on sale after a few weeks after release. For example, I bought Dead Space at an online retailer for $30 the other day with a code.
