  1. I'll believe it when I see it.
  2. I'm not paying premium prices for a game that came out when 14 years ago.
[–] filister@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My guess is that they will be charging either 59.99 or 49.99 at best

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Both of those are too high in my currency, let alone in USD.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I bet its at full 69.99 bullshit price too

Can't wait to pay 80 Canadian dollars for a game I paid 60 for 14 years ago

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the new standard is around $90CAD now.

Monster Hunter Wilds is 97

Look, I get that we all hate rising prices. But with Monster Hunter, I know my partner and I are going to get several hundred hours of entertainment out of it.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm happy for you if you do, I just can't justify spending what publishers are asking most of the time. Every now and then a title comes along that for me is worth it, those times are getting more and more infrequent as the prices climb.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I'd agree with that, actually! I usually wait for sales. MH Wilds is gonna be our first full price purchase in a looong time.

Man... Might be worth it just for the zombie expansion. That was the best part of the RDR series.

Looks like it's 50EUR on Switch, so that's my guess on PC.

[–] slug@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

for a game that came out when this one did and on the hardware it did, would you prefer a $20 basic, well-performing but aged looking port, or a $60 remaster? but if other comments are right we'll get a $60 bad port lol

$40 and mod support in a few months

I waited for this so long that I eventually just played it on an emulator (that'll no longer receive updates). I somehow doubt that the experience will be much better with a new PC version. I played it at 3x internal render resolution and at 60 FPS.
