Best value for money game ever?

[SkinnySlim]

Probably the game of Life. Been going straight some 30+ years now. Plus, I get to play all these other sweet games and...OK that's just dumb.

It's gotta be Orange Box, and if you don't agree...that's OK.

Warcraft III + Frozen Throne = 6 years
Also: Plants Vs. Zombies

700 hours on Team Fortress 2, as part of the Orange Box. So we'll assume 20 bucks.

20/700 = 2.86 cents per hour

Oh, just thought of another.

San Andreas : £20
Hours Played, at least 250 (mainly driving motorbikes off the mountaintop)

8p an hour, max.

Peggle, 'nuff said.

Does nobody play strategy games any more?

Civ II - 150h?
Rome: Total War - 80h?

Looking for the next one. Empire: Total War maybe.

San Andreas too - 80h?

Think about how much life costs you in food, heating, water, etc. I think you'll find it's quite poor value for money compared to these games. Obviously I'm not going to do the maths 'cos in theory I have better things to do..

Best value for money I'm probably going to have to second Audiosurf since it was like £8 and its the only co-op game I have, so it gets played quite a lot when I have friends round.

Well I have approx 3200 hours on WoW.. lemme figure the math out.

That's Fourth and a half months. You have spent four and a half months playing World of Warcraft.
My god.

I realise this is dragging an old topic back up but I feel the need to defend myself here >.>

I got the game on launch pretty much and played one single character from then until now and 4.5 years is 234 weeks - that works out at LESS the 14 hours a week. Now some weeks I played a lot, some I didn't play at all.

You also have to remember the social aspect of WoW, lots of those hours were spent sitting around in a major city somewhere chatting with friends, or just plain AFK.

So really all that figure means is that I bought WoW close to launch and have continued to enjoy it since. I think if you were to look at the REAL WoW fanatics who started with me they would have a much MUCH higher number.

 

[Snowalker]

Burnout Paradise, a good 400+ hours.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

Orange box, just team fortress 2 alone has generated 179 hours of gameplay so far.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Spelunky: $0.00/hour.

Cave Story: $0.00/hour.

Enjoying a really good indie game: Priceless.

There's some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard.

Starcraft and Team Fortress 2 have stolen far more of my life than I care to admit.
