No it isn't. I paid full price for it and the put 500 hours into it. I'm not saying it's bad but it's not worth $70, definitely use a voucher if digital or hope for a sale otherwise.

tears of the barely a sequel to breath of the wild is an amazing contender for this considering it's 60-70% reused assets and 17% more expensive than the game it reused all those assets from despite that game having been built from the ground up, engine and all

edit: misread this as NOT worth the money

Gonna say no games these days. Like Elden Ring was an alright game, but the multiplayer was limited severely in a game that's far larger than Dark Souls 3 and the world was filled with too many reused bosses. Like it's one thing to reuse a couple minor bosses, but there are a lot of impressive looking bosses that just get reused several times. Even what's supposed to be the first major boss is reused, fairly early on too.

If Dark Souls released today it would be worth it.

I had no expectations of TotK, if anything my playtime is an indicator that it wasn't a bad game at all, I'd go so far as to say it was very well done, though there were definitely things that could've been improved on.

But it's definitely not worth $70. If me saying it isn't worth the extra 10 buckeronis makes you think I have an issue with the game, I don't know what to tell you fam. Having bought it at that price and put a lot of playtime into it, I'd say I'm at least somewhat qualified to tell someone if it's worth $70 or not and I'm of the opinion that it is not. If you WANT to pay $70 for it, sure even I've payed extra for something I wanted. But there's nothing in the game that made me think, yep that's a $70 game. It's a $60 game, a well done game yes, but still definitely shouldn't have been $70.

A ps2 game reusing assets from a ps3 game isn't exactly the best example. And number of hours you can put into something isn't reflective of a high price tag associated with creating it. Many puzzle games can be "worth" a 100+ hours using the same few assets just rearanged in many ways, but not exactly a high cost production.

its laughable because you enjoyed it enough to put 500 hours into. Thats 14 cents an hour.

Persona 3 Reload nah, Gamepass that shit for a month or two it's better that way. DD2 will be worth 50$ when it's fixed in a month or two, Baldur's Gate 3 is a close one, but it wasn't 70$. It was 60$ & nearly unplayable in the third act till patches came out, first two acts were pretty great. TotK wasn't worth 70$, I got it for 28$ cash then didn't end up even finishing more than two temples before it just felt like BotW again.

Unicorn Overlord has not been a negative experience at all, but that was only 60$ so doesn't count. FFXVI probably not worth 70$ either, only minor performance issues but it's not going to stick with me for years. Diablo IV? LMAO NO.

Armored Core VI is another one that was excellent but difficult, but that was 60$ too. I don't think there's a single game on the market worth 70$ that was feature complete & not shit in performance or something.

I watch movies and listen to albums a lot, more than I play games honestly

The average movie is 90 minutes to 2 hours, the average album is 45 minutes to 1 hour

I really don't get gamers who complain about games being too short at all

I didn't enjoy it, that's just how long it took me to finish my goals. Armor upgrading was a significant part of it, don't know why they made it more grindy this time. In terms of enjoyment, I liked BotW more and 500 hours is nothing to me. I have 1500 into Animal Crossing New Horizons and I hate that game. I have 1000+ in other games too. I think I have 2500 hours into Fire Emblem Three Houses, I did like that one.

Generally I'm not one to think hours played = money cause that means I should be paying $250 for FETH and nah fam I may like it but no.

i can buy:
12 oz Strip Steak - $21
5 lbs. Bag of Sawdust: $21 (on Amazon)

the steak will take roughly 20 minutes to eat, so $63/hour

the bag could take about 60-100 hours to eat, not counting any time spent dealing with medical complications as a result of eating it, assuming we're eating it dry so between $0.35 and $0.21/hour

i guess i should get the sawdust because it's more bang for my buck

If I spend THAT much time on a game then I must really love it, and therefore worth the money.

I'm a GAMER. It's kinda my thing. I put a lot of time into games I enjoy too, so I don't see the issue, it's not like I'm purposely playing games I hate. I just like leaving things at a proper note so I can say I definitely gave it a fair chance. I gave TotK 500 hours and I wasn't playing anything else at the time and I wanted to do stuff like max my armors so I could leave my file at a good spot. It's not like I went after all the Koroks seeds, I'm not that masochistic

He is getting dogpiled for spending 500 hours on it and then somehow claiming it's not worth the money. If he doesn't think it's great, that's fine, but then do the normal thing and quit after a normal amount of hours.

My brother you can live until you're old and wrinkled and still hate your life. Sometimes things feel worth it, sometimes they don't. It ain't about time or money spent, it's about what's in your kokoro. BotW tickled my kokoro, TotK didn't. That's all there's to it fam.

I never claimed this. I said it isn't worth $70. Basically I'm saying I don't think it needed to be $10 extra. That's not saying it isn't worth $60 like most other Nintendo games. Some of which definitely aren't worth $60

It is just baffling to many of us. That's all. I have better things to do than waste hundreds of hours on something I only kinda enjoy.

But I have also learned that we have very different approaches to life, so I'll just stop.
