If only a cheeseburger was as cheap as $3.50.

In n out? Their cheeseburgers aren't that expensive honestly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

last i recal its like low 4.00$ but its been a hot minute since ive been to one.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, they have cheap cheeseburgers. But they are an outlier, everywhere else is expensive.

And honestly, even $3.50 is overpriced just for a cheeseburger. In N Out increased their prices because of the garbage economy like everywhere else, and now the prices are never going back down.

I'm looking at 6 euro for cheapest cheeseburger

Nah, I'm good thanks.

Nice marketing campaign for hate-purchases.

I'd rather buy a cheeseburger

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Same, I'd rather chug a whole beese than play this blandity

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

One of the top reviews is how it's 95% off and still not worth

[–] Lennny 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kind of agree. You can't actually finish the story without a stupid amount of grinding. The side quests are awful, with 4 or 5 different types of quests that all essentially boil down to area denial.

The gameplay loop sort of mimics doom eternal in that you're rewarded and heavily encouraged to use your entire arsenal.
Unfortunately it's a poor imitation that boils down to punch dude to knock up into a critable state then spray and pray. And use your abilities/grenades on cd.

Main storyline isn't bad imo, it just sucks that a lot of the ending is hidden behind hours and hours of running the same 3 missions to level up your mastery.

If you really like DC shit and want to play a modern action game , you might get your $5 worth, otherwise ehhhhhh. How much is balatro? Lol

Not even giving away it on Epic Store has helped them it seems.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You'd be lucky to get a side of fries for 3.50, but that's still more than I'd spend on it.

i think the author is talking about mcdonalds "cheeseburgers"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Makes me wonder why they wouldn't have just set it to be free during the sale. This is the kind of game where monetization really depends on a large playerbase, right?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Still too much.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Rather set the money on fire, tbh.

Advanced capeshit with gun-toting sharks and microtransactions is these days so unappealing that disk space and time needed to download/install/compile shaders is now more than enough deterrent even if that shit was free.

[–] Zahille7 11 points 1 month ago

Damn. I just bought the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (with all DLC included) and Cities Skylines for $13 yesterday.

[–] steeznson 10 points 1 month ago

You are paying with your time though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the sentiment in the comment section

Also... Is this cheapo burger with us in the room right now OP?

[–] SkyezOpen 5 points 1 month ago

They mean mcdonald's burgers, not real burgers. And the fact that they're 3.50 is a fucking travesty to begin with.

[–] Tattorack 8 points 1 month ago

No thanks. The game isn't worth my time even if it were completely free.

[–] Yucky_Dimension 8 points 1 month ago

Tree fiddy, you say?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's kinda the thing with AAA releases, I'm on Linux, so... if your game sucks, I'm really not putting in the effort of making your trash launcher run. Not worth it, even for free.

Now, I am open to bribes. I'll play the game for a few hours for money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Quite a fair bit of money, like not having to work for at least a few months money.....

[–] Alexstarfire 2 points 1 month ago

Would rather have cheeseburger.
