AAA pricing = AAA expectations

I will dock points easily.

Most AAA games are trash, so even if D4 isn’t perfect, I’d rather spend $70 on it than yet another iteration of CoD

$70 is steep. Graphics and sound must be up there as well.

Could be worse. Could be Nintendo.
My kids somehow convince their grandparents to once again buy them both versions of nearly the exact same game for Switch (Pokemon) at $60 a pop.

And it seems every iteration of Pokemon gets worse and is made with less and less effort, from what I see on reviews.

Not my kind of game. Wouldn’t even bother to look at it.

I mean, it isn’t for me, either. The point is context. New games for next gen consoles and PC are around that price. It’s just market value. So for that reason I see no issue with the price structure.

At least you know it will be supported for a long time, unlike the plethora of “early access” $30 games that never actually get finished and the developers just grift people.

After disappointing experience on D3, my expectations is at the bottom.

hmm well…personally I felt Diablo 3 was a great game.

I liked D3 better with Reaper of Souls.
I’m hearing D4 staffing issues mean the start of the game is great but the end of it is awful. Thankfully the game can be patched.

Blizzard all together has staffing issues, corporate is just to cheap to staff. That and they chased any good employees away by diddling them

At 70? Pass

At 20-30? I’d give it a whirl. D3 just wasn’t good enough to blindly jump into the next diablo series.

D3 is an objectively good game. It may not be a game you like, but it is a good game.

Also D3 has gone on sale at $10 like a million times over the last 10 years.

I know. I had it on day one. I liked it when it released, but after a while it just got stale.

Now there are dozens of shiny new hack and slash games, good ones even, that are really good and less than $70.
