Looks at:

  1. AAA games costing 100€+ between base game and season pass.

  2. Online services on consoles constantly raising prices.

  3. Consoles that, over the time cost more instead of less.

  4. Wages frozen in time for years.

  5. Rest of unrelated to videogames stuff but that drain people's wages.

I WONDER WHY YOUNG PEOPLE SPEND LESS IN VIDEOGAMES...

Also competition, and I'm not actually talking about indie games, although that's helping. Competition with older games. Why in the world would someone pay $80 for a mediocre new game when they could replay a classic hit that they haven't played in few years? When was the last time you played the witcher 3, or the mass effect trilogy? Would you rather replay one of those, or pay $80 for the new assassin's creed?

Or even better, play an old game that you still haven't played. I can get titanfall 2 for the price of a coffee and play it for the first time if I'm craving for a good AAA fps.

The single player is pretty good in that. It's definitely worth trying out.

Being in the giant mech doesn't feel any different than not being in it though. That's my only complaint.

I remember at the time titanfall came out, the mechs moving like a human was a selling point. I do agree though it is odd to experience when its not a novelty.
