What games do you think are ridiculously overpriced?

[NeonKnights]

I have a lot of the physical games that I wanted for those systems but they're stored away. Way easier to slap a hard drive in the PS2, an ODE in the Gamecube, and have the entire library at your fingertips with the additional options that OPL provides like GSM and memory card emulation.

True, it's like the best of both worlds. I love modding original hardware. I used to do it for work too.
I have an SSD in my PS2 and I upgraded my Indigo GameCube myself with the Picoboot mod.

Practically, any retro videogame

Well most Xbox 360 and PS3 games are pretty cheap. I got Alpha Protocol for the 360, before the rerelease on GoG, for 5 bucks. Love that game!

Games like Pokemon LGP/E and BD/SP releasing for a whopping $60 really gets me. Although now if they make more lackluster 2.5D remakes like that, they'll probably cost $70. Ugh.

I really don't understand people's infatuation with this game. Even when the game came out, it wasn't worth $50. Let alone being three or four times that amount now. Honestly, I think people are more in love with the idea than the actual game itself. There were interesting ideas, but they were all just either executed badly or done very mediocrely. There are so many games that you can play now that offer much better experience for what it was trying to do. Especially on the indie scene.

What games? Most horror games have shallow B movie tier story that doesn't even try to say anything, including indies.

What games?

I said this game, not games. I was strictly referring to Rule of Rose. Once again, the game ain't worth $100+ something. Let alone $50 when it first launched.

I don't even own games anymore as I literally emulate pretty much most of the thing. But if I had to say, maybe (almost) every recent Mario games are overpriced? I mean, Nintendo being Nintendo to milk their own franchise with practically the same genre every single release and stuffs. Not sure how much it is, I don't even own Switch, but I'm pretty sure it's way too overpriced. Who knows.

Mario and everything else Nintendo is WAY overpriced, they haven't made anything new for more than a decade just the same regurgitated crap with slightly better graphics.

I don't really buy games anymore, but any AAA game north of $20 is rarely worth it.

I remember being dumbfounded by some of the things Steam showed me "on sale"

I said game in the first sentence, and Rule of Rose not worth any amount of money unless you're getting it for $5 or less (preferably the latter if one desperately must). I did say many games, but that was the very last sentence and not the first. If you like Rule of Rose, more power to you. The game is not worth it, and I rather play anything a majority of the time. Even if or when it's certain other games in general I don't like, but don't dislike as much. I am not turning this into pointless back and forth. It's my opinion, and I am not changing that.

Almost any Musou games I buy used or on a heavy discount due to KT's DLC practices. Or wait for the upgraded version, but this becoming a less thing since Samurai Warriors 4. Even then, some secondhand markets are still charging old or older games like they've been out a few months and not more than 3 years now.

You said there are many games that offer a much better experience for what it was trying to do. I simply asked who are these games. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that.

Most Gamecube games its hell out there getting one.
