Poll: Whats the most expensive game you've bought in the last month?

[BrotherRool]

If you could convert the poll into your home pricing scheme that would be great. So if you're Welsh (and awesome) then £49.99 for Dragon Age: Inquisition counts as $60 even though it's more expensive. Particularly relevant for the unfortunate Australians and their inflated game prices.

I'd like to run this poll periodically and see how things change. I'm interested in our consumer patterns in an age with an endless source of incredibly cheap games. I can't remember the last time I bought a full priced AAA launch game. It might have been Heavy Rain or Uncharted 3? Even a $20 indie game would feel steep to me now.

For me £4.99 for Dragon Age II was my most expensive purchase this month (I also bought Far Cry 3 and Spec Ops for the same price)

I actually didn't buy any games last month. I've been satisfied with getting all the achievements in Dark Souls, and replaying the Mother series in anticipation for the new fan game, that I didn't find the need to purchase any games. I actually don't think I bought anything the previous month either. My backlog is almost through, and it's been fun finishing these games, so I have no need to buy more. The only games I'm looking forward to this year are Smash 4, Mother 4, and Monster Hunter 4 (so many 4's!) I'll also pick up some Steam games and maybe another new game, but honestly I'm kinda set for games this year.

In the last month?

I'm preeeeetty sure that would be Transistor for $20 AU. Which comes to $18.50 US.

Great little game. Well worth the price.

I might just be imagining it, but Steam seems to be getting better with Australian prices.

The other day I managed to pick up Saints Row 4 for only $10. To be fair, I traded in a game to help knock it down to there to that price, it was a $20 used copy to begin with.

Will be getting Rayman Legends on the XBL sale later today. These days I rarely buy a game for more than 10 pounds. If you are content to be a year behind (and I am) you can basically save two-thirds of the money you would have spent on games.

I hardly bought anything last month. $3 for Freespace, and $9 for a bunch of DLCs.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

I think that honor would go to the Outlast: Whistleblower DLC

Only $9 and well worth it for the spooks and whatnot <3

EB Games had Black Flag's limited edition on sale for $55, so I ordered that. I'm not all that interested in the game and I was going to wait a few years until I had a PS4 to play it on, but I'm a sucker for cool statues and good deals. Been trying not to buy more games lately though, since I should finish what I already have first.

Let's see last month I bought NFS Rivals, Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein for PS4 and Darksiders Collection for PS3. Not disappointed by any of them though I've yet to play Wolfenstein. Guess that totals little over $200. Though between januari and june I only bought Lords of Shadow 2(sucked) and Dark Souls 2(awesome). Considering I mostly buy new releases I guess that averages of about 1 full price game a month.

I don't mind paying that money for something that gives me hours of entertainment. The only thing I hate paying is rent. Expensive as all hell and what do I get in return? Bunch of fucking bricks!

europa universalis 4 at 10 bucks, heard plenty of good stuff about it, but knowing it was a complex game not made for everybody i didnt want to commit to much cash, and boy is it complicated, gonna keep checking the tutorial

4-Pack of Payday 2, which we're enjoying so far, cost me 30$.

Pardon my French, but fuck the tutorials. I recommend looking up a let's play on Youtube. I recommend Quill18's Burgundy to Netherlands series, since it shows him using a modest country to get to the top by skilfully using alliances and grabbing what he can, and he does a good amount of explaining on top of that.

I think the most expensive was probably Tekken Tag Tournament 2 at 7? for the Xbox 360 in the marketplace. The last time I bought a game full price (still not really though, it was 49?) was GTAV (worth it) and even then I already avoided full priced games like the plague.

Now it really needs to be below 20? and if I am slightly interested it needs to be below 10?. I am cheap as fuck, I managed to get Jagged Alliance: BiA plus the DLCs (the pack is 39,99?) for 1$, ended up putting 50 hours worth into it.

I don't think I got a game in May. I guess 2013's binge buying of AAA games took it's toll on me.

However at the end of April I got Resistance 1 and 2 for grand total of £4, Uncharted 2 for £5 and Rayman 1 for 50p so yay for me.

The last time I got a full priced AAA game was Gears of War: Judgment which I pre-ordered to get the Hammerburst Classic (worth it considering there was no extra price). I also got Dead Rising 3 but that's because it didn't come with my Xbox One and I wasn't going to play Forza 5 that night.

I bought UFC: Undisputed 2009 and Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 for £2 each. That's all I've bought in the last... few months, actually. They're possibly my first purchases since 2013, I can't quite remember.

 

[Auberon]

Elder Scrolls Online for ?37, discount from the ?49,99 launch and last of the pre-order batch for the chain. I don't think the 3 month subscription kicked in yet.

 

[duwenbasden]

Shadowrun Re, KOTOR, and KOTOR2 for $12.

The last game I got for $60 is ... Starcraft 2, in 2010; $54 for Skyrim in Jan 2012.

 

[DanielBrown]

No games bought. I'm holding my money tight these days and there hasn't been any intresting bundles in months.
Last game I bought(just to add something) was the FFX/X-2 HD box back in March. Paid £22 or something for it.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Pretty sure the only game I've bought in the past month is Payday 2 a few days ago, and it was on sale for 10 bucks, I believe. Last game I bought full-price was Demon Gaze on Vita.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I'm completely broke at the moment so I haven't bought a game for quite a while.

I actually borrowed the last three games I've played.
I'm so poor. D:
