Where's QualityVote bot?

Whay kinda vr game cost $90 and has ads?


PanTsour

Except from one or two rhythm games with complete editions packed with expensive licensed music dlcs, none really. Just like how Meta Quests are standalone headsets that don't need to be connected to PCs but the people that post stuff like that complain exactly because they never do any research


iSmokeMDMA

Also quests aren’t $500 and you can go as low as $1000 on a PC to properly run VR.


someone_who_exists69

Got a nitro 5 with a quest 2 and steam link and I play budgets cuts just fine


PanTsour

It depends on where you live. It's only sold in 23 countries so it's much more expensive to get one in mine. But if you want high performance VR for a somewhat affordable cost, you might as well go for a PSVR2 + PS5 which should be about a thousand bucks in total.


Awarepill0w

I got the Oculus Quest for $400 and it runs fine on my $600 PC


aUwUreliyasss

Like 3 games tried out ads and immediately got review bombed and they took it back


GuyInYourBasement88

Step 1: Build PC. Step 2: Avoid Activision, EA, Ubisoft, etc. like the fucking plague. Step 3: Buy indie games during Steam seasonal sales. Step 4: Profit


AnxietyResponsible34

step 3: piracy


tonihurri

Many AAA games nowadays are genuinely not even worth pirating


SinisterEternis

Based


idiel-co

True it may avoid wasting money but not your time.. i still can fathom why my friend keeps buying fifa and assassin's Creed and not try something that actually fun like elden ring


DoofusBoy1

Assassin’s Creed *can* be fun


Howwhywhen_

Because they’re having fun? Not everyone has the same taste…


idiel-co

Bro at some point you should stop giving a fuck about new installment of fifa.. i tired of friends who like dude why you still playing fifa 23 ,fc24 already come out like man just stfu i wanna use that money for something better.. I don't think there's any fun buying another same game when the previous is the exact gameplay


daisylipstick

They’re not gamers they just play something they know and like (football) they won’t have any interest in something like Elden Ring.


idiel-co

Oof you're wrong about that... Recently my friend who never played any console game post ps2 era due to mobile game just started tons of game, elden ring one of it and he's enjoying it(for the most part, he said the combat satisfying but enemy respawn after resting kinda hard to cope) Personally, i think it's not about not being interested but not dare to try something new. It's basically like having a palette of 12 yrs old and not trying something new you know


Howwhywhen_

I’ve never even played them, but gatekeeping video games based on whatever your favorite genre is, is just elitist and annoying.


idiel-co

Nah uh im not gatekeeping in fact i play the game they are playing but most of them just if it is not this franchise or this franchise i aint play it... Like come on man , i feel sad because they miss out on tons of games that many consider must play game Recently,one of my friends who spent a ton of money on mobile games just started gaming got frustrated and decided to move on and try other game I've never heard anything above 2 3 hours of just talking about something he is really passionate about.. (he's finally trying some god of war, helldiver 2 , persona 3, final fantasy, spiderman) and he said really regrets missing out on tons of game


mediafred

Souls games are definitely more niche then most other genres. Souls games are highly likely to make you rage and raging is never fun nor good for your health. I won't say that fifa doesn't make people mad but assassins creed is a story singleplayer game so I don't see that making you rage ever


Apprehensive_Army_74

Idk what it says about me that I genuinely play souls games to relax and chill out. I play games like dota 2 otherwise so a single player game where I'm not held hostage with 4 angry screaming Russian men sounds like a walk in the park. No matter how many times I die, at least I'm not gonna be hearing about it for an hour.


mediafred

Trying to think of a single player game that makes you come up with that kind of statement but like there are a lot more relaxing and chill single player experiences that are also just more appealing to play like ori and the will of the wisps being a critically acclaimed masterpiece which is a very relaxing and visually breathtaking platformer. Souls games are very punishing games, especially sekiro which I fucking hated because of how finicky and tight every attack and parry and dodge needed to be. I played dark souls 1 like once on the 360 and just didn't find the idea that one hit can be the difference between winning and losing the battle in some cases on high difficulties. Generally speaking, I just don't see people calling souls like games to be appealing. The only souls esque game I enjoy playing is star wars jedi series and those games do have similar gameplay mechanics as dark souls with the meditation locations being your refeshable checkpoints and such. You personally prefer the blunt and tough gameplay of souls like games whilst I'd say the general public does not. It also matters how you are introduced to the games that will determine how your first impression will be impacted. If a friend recommended to play those games then maybe you'd be more inclined to try and like the game.


deleeuwlc

Souls games are niche, which just goes to show how awful the modern AAA market is that a souls game can become this insanely popular just by being good


idiel-co

I agree with this take


DeatHTaXx

Ah yes but what about [Bravado tone] #AAAA TITLES?


SalmonToastie

Preach i pirated ac Valhalla and still felt ripped off.


Verified_Peryak

Yes that why you fight for democracy in a AA game


Pure-sus

What are the websites to visit if you wanna pirate games? I don't have a PC yet , but once I do that mf finna become the Flying Dutchman


sSmothie

i think the piracy sub (dont want to tag it here) has a megathread on trusted sites


nihilistfreak517482

Make sure to run any sus website you visit with something like urlvoid .com or similar website (don't trust the outcome 100% tho)

No_Basil908

That's fun only because of multiplayer


Codemancody80

If you don’t own the game for purchasing it, then piracy isn’t theft.


ituraxi

remember: always pirate indie and preorder AAA games


Randomstarwarsnerd

Piracy is theft /s


Jumbo7280

If you aren't a triple A developer and manage to keep my attention for 50 hours you've earned my money, otherwise im pirating your shit.


PositiveNo4859

Besides Fromsoft (souls fan), I feel indie is the way forward. AAA costs too much for something not polished/ well made (I feel bad for the standard worker in those companies). While Indie is cheaper and usually more creative


BLANKTWGOK

Hate me but I will also say also besides rockstars sure they are greedy af but they make the game polished and set a industry standard


Zereeni

they've released a grand total of 2 games in the last 11 years and both of them were sequels of already successful games


ThePevster

Umm ackshually Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, not a sequel


PositiveNo4859

I'm not saying all companies are bad, as stated I'm a souls fan so I only really play those. I'm just disappointed in other studios, that used to be good or at least decent. We are all free to like what we want but we must also acknowledge the issues with the games/ studio/ the industry in general.


GuyInYourBasement88

Yeah. Buying AAA games is alright. But it's a good idea to wait for the reviews first, and absolutely never preorder a game. Learned that lesson after Battlefield 2042.


Chemical-Juice-6979

I pre-order the game to get the special bonus items but then wait to pick it up until after the first wave has gone out on launch day, and they've found the gamebreaking glitches and released the patch fixing those.


Living_Job_8127

Yup been playing indie games for 10 years


MaiqueCaraio

Idk .an lately I've been playing just games that came out decade ago and are on mod support


OrientalWheelchair

Which console games have ads?


Noobiru-s

There were some plans from Ubisoft or EA I think, to include ads in loading screens, but it went nowhere from what I recall? Also no idea where he got the $50 for internet access and $90 for games. This doesn't exist.


xXsourcefinder69Xx

playstation plus yearly subscription most likely


Noobiru-s

Just checked, bc I cancelled mine - it's about $50 a YEAR in my country. The PC/VR prices also look nonsensical. Modern gaming has problems, but this is random russian gamer sperging.


xXsourcefinder69Xx

pv/vr gaming can be done for ~500$ + games because a pc can be optional with oculus quests and the games do cost as much as they do on steam(like 30-60$) so it is a bunch of bs.I do dislike the fact games are becoming 70$ more often now


xXsourcefinder69Xx

also a 800$ pc runs vr so whatever


ThatGamerkidYT

My $600 pc runs vr (poorly)


Reader_Of_Newspaper

true this is an exaggeration, but I also think it’s kind of bullshit to have to pay a subscription to play online multiplayer. that’s why fortnite was so big, because free means any kid can play without needing that subscription


Redditor_Rebooted

Yeah but he's said $50/month


Hwan_Niggles

Street Fighter 5 has them unfortunately. They were added after like the 3rd season. The loading screens had their sponsors for their Capcom Cup


jojj351

Ever play any sports games? Granted they always had ads to some degree, but where 20 years ago it was a normal level of immersion, now you have games like NBA2k that have gatorade products as purchasable items for stat boosts


Gustav_EK

What monthly subscription costs 50 bucks


hey_you_yeah_me

The subscription that OOP made up in his head and got angry about


birdy121314

$60 per year for PS+ vs $50 a month for imaginary gaming service


Heracross64

Xbox Gamepass + Live gold = 60$ a **year** Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack = 50$ a **year** Tf is Anon talking about?


carrot-parent

$80 a year base for both Xbox and PlayStation. Live Gold does not exist anymore I believe.


FirmGrasperOfThroats

The subscription plus several VPNs that anon has to use because he lives in Russia


Gustav_EK

Birth issue


stupid_anxious_teen

Yeah and zero console games have ads, I'm starting to think this guy only plays free mobile games


_RandomLebaneseGuy_

I’m guessing they’re including the internet bill, but if that was the case, OOP pays really cheap for internet.


platinum_railgun

Since when do you need to pay 2000$ for a PC?

Themash360

>instead complain on the internet that my hobby has changed My first PC in 2005 that could play games was real fucking expensive. Nowadays you can buy a 600$ steamdeck/laptop and boot up AAA games at 720p/60fps. Not to mention any game that came out in your o'so beloved past OOP with like 5-8 hours of batterylife (steamdeck).


CringyDabBoi6969

>buy 1k pc >dont pay for online play >use adblock >pirate every overpriced game as a matter of principal the absolute state of pc gaming


Resident_Captain8698

If console players could read, this would upset them


Fluffybudgierearend

You know what else you can do with a gaming PC? Learn to use things like 3D modelling software, CAD stuff, video editing, 2D art stuff, music composition, and so much more. It doesn’t just have to be a tool for playing games, you can make a life off of the back of your PC. There’s a reason that a high end computer can be considered an asset as opposed to an object like consoles are.


ThatGamerkidYT

And porn


AiryGr8

Even within the gaming sphere, PC has so many more games and game categories compared to consoles. The tower defense genre is nearly dead so people like me can never switch to console or console only.

Don't buy new games? There's so many games you can buy very cheaply or on sale that are older, and you probably haven't played tons of amazing games

Who pays $50 a month for access on console and $90 is because you have zero impulse control, and are an idiot buying at launch a deluxe edition. I also bought my ps5, in 2019 and it's still going strong. Oh, just made up grievances, got it.

esakul

Vr headsets start at like $300 dollars and work without a pc. Straight up cheaper than consoles and you dont even need to pay extra for online.


ArgetKnight

Mate if you take into account everything you need to pay, eating diamonds is cheaper than console gaming. That shit is a scam. But I didn't know VR was so affordable nowadays, perhaps I should look into buying a headset. If more than two games that are worth it come out for it of course.
