What games as of 2019 do you feel you got your moneys worth?

[TaySan]

I'm on my second playthrough on Borderlands 3 and i already clocked in 90 hours worth of game play. DLC hasn't even released yet or anything either i never thought i was going to be playing this game as much as i am right now. What game fits that bill for you this year?

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Fire Emblem Three Houses

 

[GamerDude]

That's impressive, OP! I was sick of Borderlands 3 after 10 hours and traded it in today.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

 

[DecoReturns]

Fire Emblem Three Houses- map design isn't the best but there's a lot to do for self-impose Challenges. Plus having every character capable of being anyone adds more fun to the mix, tho it's also a flaw lol

 

[DNAbro]

FFXIV

I'm paying a sub and I feel like I got my money's worth. The sheer amount of time and joy that I have and continue to have out of it makes it worth it.

 

[hideousarmor]

sekiro

 

[Linde]

fire emblem three houses is an overwhelmingly long game worth every penny

 

[storophanthus]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

One game, so many things to do.

 

[Rhete]

Baba is You, it looks like a cute jokey game at first and then becomes an incredibly deep puzzle game that just keeps going and going. I have 63 hours in it

 

[Arta]

Crash Team Racing and Team Sonic Racing (both $40)
RE2 Remake

 

[Lant_War]

Crash Team Racing's value for $40 is kind of insane, so proably that.

Dreams for $30 as well, I probably have well over 100 hours on it.

 

[Barn]

All the ones that I bought, really -- pretty rare that I make a video game purchase I actually regret, being an enthusiast who hangs on forums like this and all.

But Fire Emblem: Three Houses is definitely a game that gives you an absolute shit load of mileage for its price tag. $60 and I've 130 hours, which accounts for less than 2/3 of the game's available routes. The amount of content -- especially character stories and interactions -- in that game is just madness.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Gears 5 is one of the more content rich games this year and the fact that it's on gamepass makes it more than worth it.

 

[AimLow]

Borderlands 3 as well, for sure, can't wait for DLC.

Bloodstained. Interested as well to see what content they release for this.

Destiny 2 Shadowkeep.

 

[Cactuar]

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

 

[Papercuts]

Can't really beat Apex for free. Got like 13+ days in it.

But moneywise, Three Houses. Got way more playtime out of that than I expected.

 

[cgatto]

Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest XI S, Resident Evil 2, and Sekiro come to mind

 

[Brix]

Resident Evil 2. Played it at least 8 times. My game of the year so far.

Sekiro is definitely worth the money with that amazing combat.

I have Three houses but I haven't played it yet. I will start it soon.

 

[DPT120]

FE 3H. Put around 90 hours in one run and haven't finished my second one yet. There's a lot of replayability for me because I can still optimize and min/Max.

DQXIS- only around 15 hours in but it was worth the money. I'm really enjoying the game.

 

[cdm00]

DQ11S and eventually Pokemon Sword, maybe Modern Warfare too

 

[Deleted member 49319]

RE2
Sekiro
FE3H

What Remains of Edith Finch made PS+ worth.

 

[KORNdog]

In terms of what I bought in 2019

Full price - Days gone
Sale - Shadow warrior 2 and Hollow Knight

 

[astro]

Destiny 2 Shadowkeep
Control
RE2

 

[Deleted member 864]

Definitely Three Houses. I still have the Black Eagles route to do and I've already put over 150 hours into the game.

 

[Deleted member 10629]

Resident Evil 2
Control
Ai: The Somnium Files

 

[Deleted member 13328]

I bought Days Gone two weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it, easily a 8/10 for me.

 

[Unicorn]

Fuck I keep getting the urge to get CTR.

Wargroove I put about 90 hours into and a free DLC with 2 new commanders is coming soon.

I have 40+ hours in Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Deus X Machina (which just got PVP added) and both are worth full price.

This year has been amazing for games.

 

[Strike]

So far: Metro Exodus and Devil May Cry 5

 

[selfReg]

CRASH TEAM RACING.

 

[Mezoly]

Sekiro
Iceborne
RE2
Crash Team Racing.
Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[Acquiesc3]

It's FF14. I've been subbed the whole year plus the expansion, plus mog station stuff probably $250+ total this year but all the content: especially the raids, the music, the story, leveling and learning new jobs makes it all worth it.

 

[DyByHands]

sekiro

Click to shrink...

This.
Early 2019 had RE2 and DMC which I loved. But sekiro was really the "it" game for me

 

[banshee150]

Three Houses

 

[R.Sigma]

So far it's Three Houses. Mario Maker 2 could still get there

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Baba is You, it looks like a cute jokey game at first and then becomes an incredibly deep puzzle game that just keeps going and going. I have 63 hours in it

Came here to say this.

Super Mario Maker 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses are the most obvious time sinks in the world (and both of them are quickly closing in on my enormous BotW playtime on Switch), but Baba Is You is a game that starts you off with these tiny one-step tutorial puzzles as if to sheepishly hide that it has enough ideas up its sleeve to develop and escalate its core idea for dozens of hours. It looks so quick and manageable, but then you see your accumulated playtime and your jaw drops.

I'm telling you all this, and if you haven't played the game you still have no idea how much depth you are in for.

Fire Emblem Three Houses- map design isn't the best but there's a lot to do for self-impose Challenges. Plus having every character capable of being anyone adds more fun to the mix, tho it's also a flaw lol

I've spent a perverse amount of time in FE3H, and the problem with the map selection is quantity more than anything. Once you do a few Paralogues or dive back in for a second run, it becomes really noticeable that this is still one game (as opposed to a three-in-one like Fates), since the map count just isn't big enough to support everything else the game is trying to do and there is quite a lot of reuse and repetition.

Still love the game, though, and this is a problem that is only really apparent when you're over 100 hours in. Until you hit that point, it feels boundless.

 

[Sanctuary]

Despite the shit writing, probably Borderlands 3 if we're talking about time spent vs money spent. Trying to think of any other game this year, and I'm drawing a blank. Maybe Devil May Cry 5, REmake 2, Sekiro and Bloodstained, but that's about it (they were all worth the money, but none of them got the same playtime as Borderlands 3). Mostly been playing games from the previous years. The only game that I've purchased so far that felt like a waste of money though would be Indivisible.

Unless it turns out to be really bad, I think the next game I'll sink a ton of hours into would be The Outer Worlds.

 

[Mekanos]

I put over 40 hours in Mario Maker 2 and it's a contender for my GOTY, so probably that.

I only played the first campaign for RE2 and I enjoyed it a lot, felt like it was worth the $40 I spent on it.

 

[ClickyCal']

Re2
Days gone

 

[Unicorn]

Y'all why you keep tooting CTR?!

Why you do this.

 

[dedhead54]

Definitely Three Houses. I'm currently at 50 hrs and taking a breather before I dive back in to finish my first play through.

I'm also at 40 hrs in Dragon Quest Builders 2 and I've barely just started the second island, so it definitely has a lot of bang for the buck.

 

[Vilix]

Iceborne. I have at least a 100 hours and no plans of stopping anytime soon.

 

[xmonkeyofevil]

Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. Finished getting all characters to master rank today, just clocking over 92 hours into it. Still plenty of PvE stuff to do and I haven't even touched the arena PvP mode.

 

[Lord Vatek]

FFXIV, Kingdom Hearts III, Judgment, and Dragon Quest XI S.

I wouldn't say Fire Emblem because while it had a lot of stuff to do but most of that stuff became very stale very fast and I have absolutely no desire to ever play it again.

 

[Wink784]

Sekiro, two playthroughs before my save corrupted, so still having a lot to do if I wanna get the platinum on a rainy day.
Age of Wonders Planetfall is certainly worth its asking price for all the variety of playable factions and units.
Iceborne of course.

Generally I didn't feel ripped off by any game since FFXV and even that wasn't an amount of content as more a quality of content problem.
If what you happen to like isn't exactly the type of game that releases unfinished with a vague roadmap, a game usually justifies its asking price nowadays.

[tusharngf]

The surge 2

 

[AllChan7]

RE2, KH3, DMCV, Sekiro and currently playing Astral Chain which has been great so far. Those are all the games released in 2019 that I've gotten so far.

Also finally got around to BoTW, Bayo 2, and finished Mario Odyssey. Definitely great experiences.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

I've played Sekiro, Outer Wilds, and Gears 5.

All three were good, Sekiro the best value. I think it is From Soft's best game, so that's tough to beat.

I have Age of Empires 2 DE and The Outer Worlds left for the year. I have high expectations for both.

 

[CM_Ace]

Overwatch. Still the main game I play in-between new releases 3 years after launch.
