What should developers NOT continue doing after this gen?

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I agree with this completely. If I wanted realism, I'd go outside.Flake wrote:That'd be enough to make me stop gaming altogether. If games 'grew up' and got 'realistic' I'd find nothing interesting about them.

I miss the days when a new game on a console or PC was $50, and $30 for portables.Icedawg wrote:Charge $60 for a new game

Weren't n64 games expensive? Also, inflation http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

I could do with less FPSs. I feel like there haven't been nearly as many "mainstream" titles for me this generation. Probably just getting old.

Well, dang. I just calculated how much $50 in 2004 money would be worth today. $59.75 is what it's worth, which is basically $60.yomomma1 wrote:Weren't n64 games expensive? Also, inflation http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

Taking inflation into account, games are actually cheaper overall than they were during both the 8 bit and 16 bit era.

Re: What should developers NOT continue doing after this gen?
N64 games were definitely pricey, them being cartridged based was a big reason back then. I definitely remember some $70 games like Perfect Dark, DK64, etc.
