Man if you gotta explicitly spell shyt out because mufukkaz too dumb then....
It's not even that, it just wasn't a big deal in part one infact it was never even brought up, until the dlc you wouldn't have thought about it, she was just a girl, but man it was almost the main focus of part 2....
Intimate Relationships weren't the focus of the 1st game.
Somehow part 2 became a day time story.
Keeping Ellie out of relationships (especially because since she mentioned that she loses everyone that gets close to her) would have been the way to go.
But like I said, this game wanted to push a narrative and it screwed up what could have been a classic by trying to tell unnecessary story's and ideologies imo.
Oh to stay on topic this game could have easily been a 70 dollar game imo
I didn’t own an NES/SNES or a genesis til I started my career @ 24
all these shyts were dirt cheap by then...I understand now why pops wouldn’t buy me no video games/systems growing up...thought he was just being cheap...these prices were outrageous

I just don't do the fake social media outrage thing. 9 times out of ten it's full of shyt which is what the whole "controversy" is.
But yea, easy 70 dollar game

This is patently wrong.
The main thing that you are still paying for are the licenses, the salaries of people, the marketing, etc.
As an aside, look at this.
How much will it cost to make a PlayStation 4 game?
It is the microtransactions that have been introduced that have kept costs low. A movie can't sell us a different ending or a different actor for a part. That medium is limited. I don't see anyone championing the fact that we are going to pay more but to simply deny why we are going to is not being honest when the economics of it are simple. Larger leaps in technology comes at a cost
Because through it all, most of us know that we dodged this bullet during this current generation.
Every generation, going up and up. Like, I said this as no shade but is anyone really looking or knowledgeable about what goes into the selling of a game?
This is from 2006 but from what I'm able to decipher, it hasn't changed much
Let's look at art/design.
Why Are Game Installation Sizes Still Increasing? - ExtremeTech
Let's look at install sizes of some of the recent Forza Motorsport games. Note, these are sizes at the launch of the game, not additional DLC packs or other stability downloads
Forza 4 - 7.6GB / Xbox 360
Forza 5 - 31GB / Xbox One
Forza 6 - 44.37GB / Xbox One
Forza 7 - 67GB / Xbox One
When Microsoft released the 4K assets pack for the Xbox One X, it bumped the total install size to 95GB so simple math tells you that an increase of 28GB is just due to 4K patches. So, the move from 1080P to 4K assets alone resulted in a 42% jump in the original install size of the game. That isn't just a click of a button increase.
A 4K asset is 4 times the size of 1080P. That takes time to model and make. These aren't simple SNES/Genesis sprites. Forza 3 cars average 400K polygons per car, Forza 4 is 800k-1m polygons a car. These numbers continue to go up.
Basically, it costs a lot more money and takes more time to what is on the right than on the left, this is from Halo:CE 10th Anniversary Edition vs the original
Now, let's look at programming, these are the new technologies that programmers are going to have to incorporate into their pipeline.
Ray-Tracing
Machine Learning
SSD Asset Streaming
Variable Rate Shading
You need to spend to get your head and team about these new technologies. Trial and error, bringing in consultants, etc. Unreal Engine now has their rate 5% of royalties for all games that sell more than $1m. So basically, a game makes $50m, you owe Epic $2.5mill off the bat.
Like I said, I don't know anyone who is happier to pay more for the same 'product', so to speak. There is way more going on now than previously. It would be great if we could still get the fun and all the stuff we expect from next-gen from $800k like we did with Super Mario Brothers 3 but we'd get a game that looks just like it. We expect a lot more now. Gaming costs are going to rise while trying to give us what we want.
I never pay full retail anyways plus NBA Live is where it's at even though they skipped some releases. You gotta grind on Live to get good players like it used to be. I'll be damned to pay $70 for a game that makes tens of millions off micro transactions alone.
Oh and y'all know what's gonna be the kicker is that when you get the new version of the game all that shyt you brought you gonna BUY AGAIN FROM SCRATCH!!!!
and people calling us broke boys???
come on man they are fukking these gamers no vaseline...fukk that and if they can't just have you download a patch to use it on the new systems they fukking trippin. The shyt is pretty much like PC.Oh and y'all know what's gonna be the kicker is that when you get the new version of the game all that shyt you brought you gonna BUY AGAIN FROM SCRATCH!!!!
back in the day, game companies still wanted to make money, but they still had programmers and devs who loved the craft.
Now it's not even about making a functional game as much as making a huge seller, and about nothing more than seeing how much they can charge and get away with.
Plus, back then, there were SO many games. Remember back on Genesis/PS1/PS2, there were just hundreds & thousands of games. Alot more competition kept the prices down.
