The Yakuza series 100% belongs in this kinda conversation. ~40 hour crime dramas loaded with fun side missions and minigames, including both original minigames and Sega classics (primarily their arcade offerings, some of which are only officially playable at home in Yakuza games!), sometimes including different playable characters to shake things up, with the bulk of the series going super cheap during sales.

[@selfloathingweekly]

The older games didn't age that well, I'd say 0 and the Kiwami games + the last two games are the only ones worth it

[@icravedeath.1200]

​@@selfloathingweeklyobjectively incorrect but ok

[@nerbulent]

eh. you can say that about a lot of games. i saw fallout 4 for a dollar at a used game store, and that's an ~80 hour rpg, not counting replays for alternate endings and the pip-boy minigames.

[@TheChefBoo]

I feel a crucial thing to mention here is that each game up to including 6 are $20 each now by default.

[@bonemarrow286]

What's also crazy is that if you have a PS4, sometimes they go on sale for like $20 for Yakuza 0-5. They're incredibly worth it

[@Valkenhyne]

Just a note on FFXIV - when you hit level 70 the game doesn't cut you off or anything, you can keep playing but you just can't access the main story from level 70 onwards. You could even go level all the other playable jobs on your character up to lvl 70, hunt for relic weapons, finish all the raids, get into crafting and gathering materials or fishing etc etc before paying for the game, that's hundreds of hours of content! It's a pretty solid free trial.

[@Everdistance]

Yeah, I've known people who played the game for over a year before they felt the need to pay. It's basically just the base game plus the first two expansions for completely free, you even get the new jobs added with those expansions like Dark Knight and Samurai. It's like 75% of the content in the game. And there's usually still players doing the older raids and dungeons from those earlier expansions.

[@glitchyaceofficial]

if you get the switch mario kart you get a full battle mode, new characters, DLC tracks included, some tweaks, and If you spend 25$ or have Nintendo switch online expansion pass, you get 48 more courses, and more characters

Here is the point Here is @@glitchyaceofficial

[@hello-xm5il]

​@@glitchyaceofficialbut like, the switch is expensive and fragile (and heavy) and you can't play wii games on it, and if the guy mentioned is anything like me the only real benefit to buying deluxe would be the tweaks to gameplay I bought my wii u second hand and whoever had owned it previously had bought the dlc, so i got it for free anyways. I exclusively play as one character, I think battle mode is lame, and I don't care about playing online--and if I did it would be cheaper and easier to try to set up pretendo than it would be to try to manage a subscription service Also I'm pretty sure the twenty five tracks you mentioned aren't new; they're ported from the mobile game. I remember hearing somebody complain about their poor quality compared to the rest of the tracks. (Edit: I've been told that the information in this last paragraph is false. However, I still don't feel like spending upwards of 400 dollars on a game and console I bought for 150) yeah, i think I'll stick with my commercial failure of a console, thanks

@@hello-xm5il There are about 8 brand-new tracks in the booster course expansion pack. There are also about 8 tracks ported from Tour. The rest of them are ports from other previous games, to varying levels of quality. I like them, but YMMV. They aren't all from Tour though, not sure what's given you that impression; I don't think Tour even had 40 tracks to begin with.

in the early 2000s, i used to be able to play PC titles borrowed from my library. stuff like myst, grim fandango, age of empires, icewind dale, ceasar, the total war series. etc. i think they also had ps1 games available. it was a huge lifesaver for me, as i was only able to buy only a few tjtles (on sale, too) for my PS2, but i still wanted to play as much games i could get my hands on! i played the hell out of my demo discs when i got a subscription for playstation magazine for a year or so as well. when i later got a nintendo ds lite, i got a flash cart as soon as i could, and i played so, so many games that way (thanks to romsites). i enjoyed my DS so much that i broke the hinge twice just from regular usage. this video is truly a great guide to people who don't really follow the games industry on a constant basis but still want to play games or want to catch up on old titles.

Yakuza/Like a Dragon are some of my go-tos for a single game you can get a lot of content out of. Not only are they on their own pretty chunky main campaigns + tons of side content like side quests or casino games, they're also often compilations games all on their own. Newer titles not only have a decent selection of actual Sega Arcade games, some of which have haven't been re-released in years, but some of the games even have a collection of Sega Master System games you can find and play in their entirety.

[@thanatoast]

RGG games go on sale CONSTANTLY so there's really no point in buying them full price unless it's, like, the latest one. Side note, but in my experience, collections of old games also get insane discounts, see: The Bioshock Collection, The Mass Effect Collection, The Portal Collection, The Ace Attorney Collection. It's great if you missed out on any of these series.

[@icravedeath.1200]

​@@thanatoastmanaged to snag the valve collection on steam for around £20, I mean that's after a sale AND a price reduction because I had a few of them already but getting the others for quite cheap was nice.

[@Boggy102]

I played every single Yakuza game except Ishin and Infinite Wealth on Game Pass. That alone justified my past 3 years of game pass.

At my library you can pretty much rent any game that had come out since the ds, ps3,wii,360 generation and they have consistently bought new games that just came out like persona 3 reload, rise of ronin and princess peach showtime.

[@lukemacinnes5124]

When it comes to gaming on a budget these days an important thing to think about is that generally since late ps3/360 actual development in games has stagnated a HUGE amount, so unless you care immensly about every graphical difference or are really into multiplayer only titles the actual quality of the games really hasn't changed that much, you could argue it's not really changed at all when you consider half the releases on ps5 are just remakes of ps3 games with little to no gameplay differences, it's not the same as it was 30 years ago where every few years the power difference between consoles was enough to go from the original zelda to a link to the past, for most genres the amount of value you get out of a single game and the quality of the actual gameplay hasn't really improved that much since the early 2000s

[@nathanieljones8043]

Yeah he kinda glances over it but all the games the have been remade a ton were never fun in the first place they are just good at gaslighting people repeatedly. Especially skyrim.

Scott has the sort of videos where I can grab a bog of popcorn, sit down and pull it up on the TV, and get cozy like I'm watching a movie. His vids are like the games at the end of this video, not just long for the sake of length, but genuinely packed with high effort and care which make it incredibly entertaining.

This new gaming on a budget is definitely a good time for me to bring up a neat recent story, last year when I went to Retropolooza ( a gaming con I attended every year since 2015) I didn’t have the big spending budget that I would usually have for the con, so what I did was scope out vendors that had bargain bins, and I gotta admit they certainly help me expand my pick ups that year, as managed to snag titles like dead or alive 5, motor storm, Sphinx and the curse mummy, and the evil within for dirt cheap, so it goes to show game collecting doesn’t have to be difficult, just as long as you’re looking in the right places.
