Unless itās a from software game I rarly buy a game at full price. 90% of ps exclusives I wait to drop to 20 bucks or less on a sale. I got nioh for and last of us 2 for 10 bucks each. Then if thereās an Xbox game I want to play I will just get gamepass. If you have ps and have ps plus u rarly have a reason to buy games new with free games every month. If u have Xbox well thereās gamepass. As a consumer I want to spend as little as possible. These are billion and trillion dollar companies. They donāt care about you so donāt care about them

Iām not going to tell people how to spend their money and everyone is in different situations, but donāt agree with this statement when you look at the state of the industry and recent layoffs. Being billion and trillion dollar companies doesnāt mean anything because what sales and doesnāt influences peopleās jobs, what games are made, etc.
Iāll play Dragonās Dogma 2 at the sweet, āfilmicā 30fps with drops on Series X and not give a fuck! 
About my buying habits on gaming I still buy the games that excite me day one, I guess it helps that I mostly buy physical and save 20+ euros on each purchase. Of course if a game is on Game Pass I will play there like all Xbox 1st party games with a few exceptions being games like Hi-Fi Rush or cool looking physical editions like Psychonauts 2 for example. All in all life is short and miserable enough as it is so I try to enjoy things as much as I can.

I donāt know what cost of living is like in Japan, or how their tax system works, but that is about $2000 USD/month. Or the equivalent of $12.50/hr USD (for a month of regular 40hour work weeks).
Up from about $1500 USD/Month or about $9.50/hr.

The original S.T.A.L.K.E.R (2007) and Unreal Tournament 2004 are probably two of the oldest steelbooks that I still own (I hardly own any physical games).
Plus both of them are PC which shows you how long ago that was 
.
I would be interested in replaying the original ahead of the sequel.

That indeed is actually pretty low. According to Google the monthly average salary is 3794 which is almost 2 times more of that.
Pretty much the same here, I rarely buy games day one anymore. Partly because I have a huge backlog but that backlogging has also taught me to appreciate complete games. Why would I pay more (much, much more) to play a broken mess when I can wait to get a patched up game, often with more content and have a much better experience?
Game Pass gives me the occasional day one experience anyway.

last gen the Xbox one X power and features showed in pretty much every game like a rock solid 4Kres on Red Dead Redemption 2. Itās a pity they havenāt been able to capitalize on the series X. I would hope they donāt try to compete next gen with PlayStation and just do their own thing like Nintendo.
Not long!

Exactly. Itās the Take 2 way!
I just refunded a game for the first time.
War Mongrels.
Trailer looked great, but when I started playing it, it immediately became clear how unnecessarily complex the controls are. It does NOT control/play like Desperados 3 or Shadow Tactics at all. Itās like Commandos on PC but worse, the type of shit that will cause headaches.
Avoid.

Awesome!!! Thanks.
I agree with Colin. Think about it, people will go watch a movie like he says for $40+ that last 3 hours but a $70 game like Rebirth is somehow too much money? Like, really? I have about 40 hours into the game and itās already paid for itself.
The games youāre listing is why when people say they hate reviews, scores or this or that, well, this is why they exist. To separate the shit from the average to the good to the great games.
Iām someone that has no issue paying $70 for games. I spent $70 on Gotham Knights and yeah, that was a bad decision on my part but I have no one to blame but myself because I read and watched a lot of reviews and knew the issues but bought the game anyway.
In fairness, Colin and Last Stand Media havenāt gotten codes in years. They literally buy every game they play and talk about on their shows. They actually put their money where their mouth is. Hell, during last weekās episode of Sacred Symbols, Colin literally bought Pentiment off PSN and showed it via his cell phone.
Letās be honest, most people never put their money where their mouth is. Other sites/youtubers definitely get free codes for the most part unless itās a Suicide Squad/IGN situation.
