I may be out of touch but paying high price for a remake and for it to have dlc on top of that is stupid to me.

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

The price is insane.

I rarely get games on launch, but you can often get these at a discount on sites like Fanatical months before release. They definitely had the deluxe edition like 20% off months ago to pre-order.

Haha, why on earth would anybody pay so much actual, real money just to rent a remake? 😂 Gaming industry has totally lost its mind

£70 for a remake? Crikey.

I'm not buying this just because Konami can get stuffed. They canned Kojima then rereleased his greatest work.

I knew Konami would fuck this up.

No, $70 for the license to play a remake.

Sounds petty, but... yeah, important distinction. You don't actually own any game on Steam. They even have to explicitly make that clear at checkout now.

Still have my PS2 original and the PS3 HD version, I'm good thanks.
