I really want to try this game but it's still so expensive. I've heard it's worth it

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 months ago

I feel like this one actually earns that price tag

[–] ghashul@feddit.dk 14 points 3 months ago

It will still be good when it comes on sale. It is however one of the few games where I decided to get it at full price, and I didn't regret it.

Yeah I'm going patient gamer with this one. Partially it's because I've not enjoyed the combat in other Larian games, even the critically acclaimed D:OS2. More more of an old school RtwP fan like the original 2 Baldurs Gate games.

However I'm a huge RPG fan so I think the dynamism I've heard about in this one's plot will win me over.

It's an absolute gem

However don't ruin yourself, no game is worth that

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

You won't afford it by ruining yourself, unless it's for spectators.

Same here. There's many games I want to try/play but they are too expensive.

[–] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Expensive? It's $45 on Steam? I consider $45 for potentially hundreds of hours of entertainment to be extremely cheap.

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Noope it's $90AUD here. I'm still considering it

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

It's actually worth the price. I'm also a patient gamer; this is the only full price game I've bought since 2020ish. 120 hours to beat the main campaign once is already worth it. There's actually substance to the hype around the game. The only full price game I'll buy in the foreseeable future is Silksong.
