XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

Despite literally everything scummy thing that companies do to monetize, I still 100% believe gaming is now more accessible financially and more value relative to money than it ever was, speaking through legal ways of course.

I did some Google sleuthing and apparently they were $60-$70 US depending on the retailer. I think my memory was a bit fuzzy, but $70 does sound right to me.

100%

And this would be the case even without Game Pass. Considering games are cheaper now, by actual dollar numbers, than 25-30 years ago, games has had a staggering drop in price.

Using an inflation calculator, the most expensive SNES games in that ad I posted above cost the equivalent of about $170 today.

Yeah, and considering games are now astronomically more expensive to make too. There are digital sales and discounts, free games, giveaway games, subscription services. Hell, it seems so many of us complain about having too many games lol

As brightest sun said, yeah Google blocked a lot of things including YouTube on there. That said, here maps which was owned by Nokia was amazing. I still prefer it over Google maps

I actually could see myself buying one. 300 really isn’t that bad, 12 hours of battery life seems decent, and I don’t really have much I care about on steam.

Obviously will wait for some more reviews and probably not something I need this year, but I’d rather take this on a trip than use my phone.

Only came across this because i saw the steam store listing for the game.

Wonder if it’s something that could come to game pass day one. Wonder how successful the first one has been on game pass.

Agreed on most things. I also don’t really get the combat system with the shared health and single controllable char. Eh.

At least on the overworld you can dodge most encounters if you trade one stamp for faster running speed.

Which reminds me we should do a community survey one day to see what you all would like to see from us.

I don’t know how long I’ve called them a cult, but there’s not a shred of doubt left that it is indeed one. They are quite insane.

YouTuber ESO played it and he seems to really like it. Calls it super interesting and unlike any other horror he’s played.

Not watching it myself, but if you do, enjoy.

That is looking sleek. Love it.

Hm, I need a black with dark gray and blue or green or orange accents or something. Can’t do white electronics… :cry: Also need to save up to build a garage. Maybe I can wait a few more years for this.
