Dropped even faster than Doom did.

https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/362899-target-ad-528-63/

I probably won't ever buy a Bethesda game at launch based on this trend.

I hear it's a pretty good game. Anyone here play Prey yet?

Just beat it last night. Really good, not perfect, but I adored it tbh. Definitely worth it imo.

Was Armored Core 4 a AAA game? Cuz I got that for $60 like a week after it released and the very next day it dropped to like $20. I was so freaking pissed at that.

It wasn't that low, at least not at any of the big retailers. And it took more than two weeks, unlike Prey.

This will be a case study in putting review embargoes after release.

It was $30 or so bucks at Target literally 2 days after release. I remember clearly.

Probably was a price error. The official price was still $60. Hell, Target is one of the few places where it's still $60 right now.

Technically you're looking at just over 3 weeks if the flyer's starting the 28th.

Here it says they had it for $60, so yeah definitely just an error.

True, but still the quickest price drop in recent memory right beside Mirror's Edge. Prey is dropping almost half off in the same month it released.

Even that one took a couple months. Though to be fair, that also wasn't made by a company as big as Bethesda. I think Evolve is technically still indie.

I wonder if sales are a bit slow and they're just trying to do this to give it a bump.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone else puts it on sale.

I feel the reason is it just looks weird. I know nothing about the game besides the fact that you can turn into a mug and that it's an alien shooter. Not much really going for it from that besides I also heard it was based on another game? Like is it a sequel? or a reboot?

Andromeda has been $30 CAD already, and it's been out less than a month.

I watched a bunch of streams of it. It seemed really cool, but it definitely didn't seem like a $60 game from what I saw. If it drops to $30 or less I'll probably pick it up.

It's been out for 2 >_>

And who had it for $30? I know Regular is already $49.99 lol

Meanwhile HZD is still $79.99 and has only had one sale.

Andromeda came out two months ago actually to this very day funny enough. Definitely not less than a month. But still a quick drop for a AAA release, just not Prey-bad.

I saw it at EB Games for $30 used. I don't expect HZD, N:A, Nioh, Yakuza 0, ToB, or P5 to get any significant sales because they're actually good games.

Well used games are an entirely different case, especially at EB and GameStop. Also still much longer of a gap between release and price drop than Prey.

It's a story based FPS with no multiplayer so I can see it not selling well because most gamers are garbage
