What Game(s) would you buy "No matter the cost"?

    Yeah long thread title, but I'm trying to avoid be click baity :pac:

    So what with all the recent expensive versions of games (crazy collectors editions like Destiny, BL-HJC, Watch Dogs, MGS5, Batman etc) I was wonder Gaming friends, what games would make you go "TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY GOD DAMN IT". Games where money would be no object (feel free to post the maximum you'd be willing to pay if you like)

    So to get the ball rolling mine would be a proper Rock and Roll racing remake that captured the feeling of the original and supported 4 player local and online play (plz don't mention the russian remake that was cruelly taken away from me). I'd genuinely pay like €150 for that cause I'm a f**king saddo :P

    Examples for others might be:
    A proper remake of FF7 that didn't ruin it.
    Shenmue 3 & 4 & 5 Trilogy Box set
    And the obvious Fallout 4 / Half Life 3 / Next Skyrim i'm sure will be mentioned so give a price guys :)

    Anyway you get the idea, discuss.

    None. I used to buy games at full price before, pre ordering and buying on release but never again. The profit on games is way too high on PC and these days I just wait.

    A bit common but the GTAs are always quality and never a let down!
    Any red dead redemption game they bring out (super game)
    If they ever brought out a columbo game I would be first in line too :)

    Finding it hard to think of a better example than the two above.

    Decent remakes of Syndicate and Cannon Fodder from the days of the Amiga.

    All the people who posted above, if you took the game you mentioned...would you pay 500e for it ? Really ?

    I'd never pay that for a game. I won't even pay full price of €59.99 for Bloodborne.

    Will trade for it or buy when it's reduced.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    Probably none. I have games I would buy from certain developers, day one, without ever reading a review....but no matter the cost...nah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭ZiabR


    Final Fantasy 7 a proper remake
    Battlefield 5 - Vietman with classic 60s-70s music

    If there was a situation where say, I didn't own said pokemon game, everyone said it was really good, nintendo weren't printing anymore of it, and it was impossible to find for a better price, then yes I would be €500 poorer for it.

    Based on? :confused:

    As for me, for a game I want to play now, I'll pay the regular retail price. If the retail price was to rise over time due to increased development costs then I'll just buy less games. I have no problem with waiting to play something due to a backlog but I don't think I've ever consciously waited for a game to become cheaper before buying it. It's kind of hard to give a reasonable answer as to the absolute max I'd be willing to spend on a release since, realistically speaking, it's never going to get to that stage.

    Collectors Editions are different obviously but I've not bought one of those in ages. I was quite tempted by the Homeworld one but didn't bother in the end. When it comes to those types of releases, if the additional contents are worth it, then I'd consider it but it wouldn't have anything to do with it's perceived value as a "collectors item".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭Robert ninja


    It's not something I've ever really thought about. Anything I really want to play is within my ability to purchase for a reasonable price.

    That said, if Tekken 7 is console exclusive I might end up getting a PS4 second hand or something but not anytime soon. So I guess Tekken is worth 100s of € to me. I'd much rather just buy it on PC though, of course... even at full price.

    I would gladly pay big for a reissue controller and new game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,603 ✭✭✭Mal-Adjusted


    There's no game that i would buy "no matter the cost" but there are games that would push me to pick up an 8th gen console,
    Deus Ex 4
    Halo Wars 2
    Alan Wake 2
    KOTOR 3
    A sequel to Jedi Outcast. I know there was a Jedi Academy, but it did feel more like a spin-off than a true sequel.

    I don't think my games room could cope with another full size controller for that game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭Gregk961


    Kotor 3, provided the game was actually finished this time, would probably get a couple hundred from me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,730 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    Nothing at any cost however if my computer is needing to be replaced I do tend to wait till the latest civilization game is launched before buying a new one, just to be on the safe side.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune collection(arcade only games atm) would be so good to be brought to consoles or PC but because of licencing issues it will never happen.

    Like me, probably meant a new DD with the joy of DD2!

    I would pay anything up to €150 for a remaster of the Legacy of Kain series, and possibly even more for a proper sequel. Only downside would be not having Tony Jay in it.

    Shenmue 3 goes without saying.

    The rest I wouldn't pay more than normal:

    A remake of Rollcage would also be awesome.

    G-Police
    Oni
    The Mark of Kri (Have it at home, must replay it)

    I'm sure theres more, I just can't think right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Shenmue 3, I would probably pay 500 euro for it! A dreamcast version would be great...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,561 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    That magical game full of trees and acorns that peter molyneux keeps promising and going into great detail describing before eventually releasing something different .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭Reganio 2


    A Broken Sword in the vain of 1 & 2. The ipad game was a throwback to the old days but was released in 2 episodes and the 2nd part was very lacklustre.

    Do you mean Monkey Island 5, because there's already a 3 and it's cartoon graphics make it look fantastic, even after more than a decade since it's release?

    Portal 3
    Next gen-
    Elder Scrolls
    Mass Effect (if they can make a good enough new trilogy and avoid the Shepard storyline)
    Fallout
    Borderlands 3

    None. I've only ever got collectors editions for World of Warcraft series, and even stopped that once Blizzard offered digital delivery.

    I picked up a lot of PS2/PS1 reworks for PS3 from PSN, and even at a few euro each felt really "meh" about them. I'm not really nostalgic bout my gaming. I've gone back to PS2 and N64 genre games and the ageing and appearance irks me to the point I can't play them.

    Would happily re-buy some favorites if they were brought into current gen spec, likes of Resident evil 1&2 and a few other bits. But not really feasible, so I don't worry about it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,418 ✭✭✭Icyseanfitz


    Baldurs Gate

    i take it you've seen pillars of eternity? great great game

    for me it would also be knights of the old republic 3, its amazing this hasnt been made tbh, everyone wants a proper game in the vein kotor1 and somehow the big wigs havnt copped it :confused: might be for the better though with bioware being owned by ea these days,
    but after playing pillars id gladly let obsidion take reign over a new knights than bioware

    I think Monkey Island 3 the cartoon version is hilarious. Loved Murray the evil talking skull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭Gandalph


    I'd pay massive beans for a remake of the Baldur's Gate games along with a 3rd in the series so I could further immersive myself in that epic story.
