If only a cheeseburger was as cheap as $3.50.

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

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

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

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days 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.

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

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days 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

Tbh I'd just replay Arkham

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

[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 1 points 3 days ago

Double cheese burgers at burger King for $2 much of this year

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago

i think the author is talking about mcdonalds "cheeseburgers"

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 32 points 5 days ago

Nice marketing campaign for hate-purchases.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

I'd rather buy a cheeseburger

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thanks but Id rather get a the beesechurger instead

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

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

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago
[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago

Rather set the money on fire, tbh.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

You are paying with your time though

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days 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.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

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

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 16 points 5 days ago

Still too much.

[–] SatyrSack 16 points 5 days 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?

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

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

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] Yucky_Dimension@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Tree fiddy, you say?
