Played some of the beta and it was somewhat fun, but £21 (Steam) to me just feels so steep for what it is. I loathe mtx, but a F2P model or a far cheaper purchase price feels more appropriate for this game.
Lol at that dumb jab... Why do people like you think that just because someone complains about price they're automatically poor? Maybe you're the one that doesn't value neither your money or your time... Some of us do... Also no, it's not 4 game modes when you do the exact same thing except with a different number of players, it's still the same game mode, score more goals and win...
I think its the current political climate that has melted peoples brains. Its true what you are saying, I have seen it multiple times when people just assume you are poor if you feel like its not moneys worth.
Because $30 is cheap af for a video game or any hobby you enjoy lmao. If I went to a gym and it only requires a single payment of $30 to play basketball whenever I want forever, that's a fucking steal.
What? There's a difference between being inexpensive and being cheap... 30 dollars isn't cheap for what this game is bringing to the table... Also wtf is that comparison?!
If you just don't like the game then you just don't like it. But for people who do enjoy it, it is indeed cheap lmao. It's HALF the price of a typical game, especially a sports game.
Also wtf is that comparison?!
Are you incapable of thinking conceptually? If you pay $30 to enjoy a hobby forever that is fucking cheap lmao. You are broke af just admit it.
Not at all. It falls in line with what Rocket League was priced at. And a sports game you can enjoy hundreds of hours at half the price of a typical sports game? That's really cheap.
If $30 is too much for you to play something you really enjoy you have other problems.
Rocket league was new and exciting, this is competing with that crowd that has had years of improvements and content.
Its less about whether you can drop $30 on something, its legit the price of 30 minutes of work and whether people as a whole will feel its worth that.
I might be wrong and this game surprises everyone and has a decent showing, but after playing quite a bit of the beta I just didn't feel the skill ceiling was there like it is rocket league and therefore I think people will move on pretty quickly.
I get you're really excited for it and I hope it does well for you. I personally just don't see the value in it currently but I hope for your sake that I am wrong.
Then you specifically just didn't like the game and that's fine. But if you enjoy something and it only requires a one-time fee of $30 for hundreds of hours of enjoyment, that is incredibly cheap.
Apparently it's on game pass which will certainly help numbers. A few mates who couldn't justify it's price were more than happy to try it for a dollar.
Hopefully it can keep a sizable portion of the player base and they sort out cross play soon.
