Pirate It
-
Only pirating ubisoft and nintendo games.
-
And EA
-
-
No crowns required
-
They aren't required per se, but everyone likes a fancy hat now and again
-
-
-
Patient Gamers rise up
-
When you're ready.
-
Maybe not too patient but rn I'm playing Assassin's creed Origins (2017) I bought for €14. I don't often have time to play but when I do I'm really enjoying it! Before this I was playing Shadow of Mordor (2014).
-
Finished Shadow of Mordor like 6 months ago, super fun game!
-
-
Eventually, no rush though could always wait for tomorrow.
-
-
Considering the size of my Steam library and the amount of games I want to play but haven't touched yet... I can wait 10 years
-
Why does anyone preorder games?
-
I have to imagine it's a holdover impulse from the days of physical media where stores had limited copies. Why anyone would preorder a digital download is beyond me, unless there are some perks.
-
i would preorder games from a studio i like to boost their capital while they are still developing. it seems better than them having a lower budget or getting shady investors. but somehow those who are worthy are the same folk who dont do preorders😂
-
The last time I preordered a game, I had played a leaked alpha build for a while before release, for like 40 hours. It was pretty broken, but it was a lot of fun, so I figured it was fair to pay for the game already.
I'd say there are very exceptional cases where it isn't absurd to preorder, but those are less than 1% of all preorders that actually take place.
-
The only game I preordered was Monster Hunter Rise. They offered a demo that I played longer than most games currently in my library and it was polished and showed no performance issues. It showed me that it was the game I wanted it to be. So I nabbed it for a preorder discount deal from a 3rd party, legit storefront to save some cash. And it was my favorite of the series and my most played individual title. Maybe that’s all rationalization of something I still shouldn’t have done, but if you are discerning, it works.
-
Depends on if it's a series I'm heavily invested in or a dev I really want to support. I'm massively into the trails of series and if I could preorder those I would.
-
I preorder the next expansion for FFXIV. But I have played the game for 8 to 9 years. Other than that I wait to see what happens when a title drops
-
Same. I haven't played as long as you as I think but I'm not really an mmo person as I get bored after a few weeks with most but FFXIV has kept me interested for years. And I'm really attached to my WoL at this point and I want to see where the journey goes.
-
-
If I want to play on release day, I would preorder to preinstall the game while I am working so I can play it when I get home. Also, preorders usually have bonus items, like physical stuff.
I preordered the collectors edition of Elden Ring, and White Snow edition of NieR Automata, for example. Both came with a wide variety of various physical goods that were exclusive to those preorder editions.

Almost a decade
Over a decade
GTA V turned 10 years old last September. I'll let that sink in
-
not only that, waiting means you can actually run the damn thing on your hardware, you're not effectively playing an early access release, and there's a matured community around it for mods and whatnot.
-
-
Back when 2013 was the future. Damn
-
-
-
Where are you all getting GTA V for free? I want to get in on that.
Oops never mind, I have it on the Epic store. Probably nabbed it for free when it was available.
-
I think I bought it for $10 when Cyberpunk shat the bed what three years ago?
-
-
Anybody ever play the game "Ocarina of Time"? Is it any good?
-
The New one with the 3d Graphics? I will stick to my snes.
-
Secret of Mana was good
-
-
Ship of harkinian? Never heard of it
-
-
Meanwhile Nintendo: almost wait a decade to pay 2x the original price on the used market
-
More like re-purchase it for twice the price on the next console's eShop
-
-
How you get it for free 10 yrs later?
I mean if you pirating you can do that at least a few yrs earlier.-
It was free for like a week once a few years ago.
-
I got half life for free when steam did the 25 year anniversary promotion for it. So you can actually get free games if you wait long enough lol.
I also got little nightmares for free as well, but I don't remember the occasion.
-
If I remember correctly I think they gave it away for free as part of a promo for the sequel.
-
-
Sometimes you can get a game for free on steam, or something like $5. GTAV is still around $20 when steam does their discounts.
-
-
It's also much easier on your budget to meet the game's hardware requirements then.
-
IMHO, there’s a card missing saying
“Waiting a few years that every bug get fixed”
Another one should be
“Waiting a few years so that my $100 bucks GPU can run it flawlessly”
And last but not least.
“Waiting a few years so that my $2000 MacBook can play it at 30FPS”
Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 lately, that game is dope. I use Game Porting ToolKit BTW
-
As someone with a 1060 in a Proxmox rig and a discounted M2 MacBook air, I felt all of this
-
Gotta keep that PC to play some Windows games right?
I did something dumb that I don’t regret yet, put my PC budget into a more powerful Mac when GPTK came out. I surely can’t play all games but so far I’m really satisfied.
Running Mixtral-7x8B_Q4 on a laptop wasn’t something I was expecting to be able to do :)
So I can’t say I got the best gaming rig for sure, but professionally speaking this has been an absolute blast.
If I remember correctly M1 was about as powerful as a 1050 when it came out (at least on native games). Are you happy with your M2 Air? I managed to play CP77 on my wife’s one, but since it only has 8Gb of RAM it crashed just after the meeting with Jackie Welles.
TBH, I miss a good macgaming sub on Lemmy. At a least I have an occasion to laugh of myself from time to time

cyberpunk 2077 sucks cock and balls
-
No, I like my dick being sucked.

Opulent Pooh: Play it for free when it launches, and decide to buy the game after, if you liked it
-
Nintendo would like to have a word with you
-
Wait 3-6 months after release and get it on sale.
-
Wait a year post release, get it on sale, put it in the backlog with all the others, play your one comfort game and doomscroll your preferred social media feeds instead of ever playing it
-
Ouch. Damn, dude. Stop looking over my shoulder.
-
Was not expecting personal attacks like this :'(
-
-
-
Or if its from Ubisoft never get a Chance to play it because they shut the Servers down after 10 Years
-
If a game requires a connection to a server to run I just don't bother.
Unless the server software is available so anyone can set one up.
-
-
Plus, by then the most egregious bugs will have been fixed (quite likely through mods).
-
I have a massive steam wishlist. When I need a new gawe I order the list by rating and search for discounts.
-
Same. I usually get about 5 at a time when they're at 60% or so. I'm trying to whittle it down as there's probably a couple hundred on mine.
-
-
how??
i want free gta v goddamit
-
How what?
Step 1: Be poor / be busy / forget
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit
-
Get a time machine and go back a few years and make an epic store account
-
-
I really don't understand the (clearly faulty) logic that OP is going by here. Games becoming officially free is not common at all. I'm sitting here trying to understand how this image and post were made, and the only conclusion I can come to is pure idiocy and ignorance. Either you pirate the game, which is possible on the day of release for 99% of games, or it's given away in some way which doesn't happen at all for 99% of games. There's just nothing that this is based on, it's so weird.
-
You're absolutely right, I don't understand either.
