- Gaming can be really expensive. With consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X costing $500 dollars and games at $70 bucks, it can be really unaffordable. I've put together some tips to help you save money gaming. I hope this video helps you out!

Bruh can't afford a triple A games? Everyone has a kidney duh
Two actually!
Unfortunately now is more like "how to find time to play all this games"
True!!!
felt that one homie
Yeah that's a problem
I generally don’t have much a problem with the cost of games, my favorite genre is JRPGs (probably close to the best value for your money as far as playtime / content) and I usually complete most story content so they run me 100+ hours. Although I have been dropping games that don’t hold my interest (sometimes 40-50 hours in), I usually didn’t pay full price for these either so it balances out. So as long as I only buy games I will play and don’t pay for a backlog, I can get pretty much what I want on release at full price. If I’m unsure about a game though I definitely only go for it on sale. Of course a better deal is always welcome, I might pick up a game I had my eye on early if I can save on it.
The limiting factor is my time to play them nowadays.
I'm pretty with you there. I'm a big JRPG player and generally, the value you get for what you pay is pretty incredible. It blows my mind that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Persona 5 Royal are the same price as your bog standard AAA open world game that's copy pasted everywhere.
I was recently introduced to green man and its a great service. Got Hogwarts at a discount. Great stuff
It really is great to get a new game at a discounted price!
Great tips, this is what I normally do on the regular. That said I don't play PC much anymore, but the same things apply.
Also it's important to distinguish between gsmes you care to play right away & others you're willing to wait.
Yep, gotta have an organized backlog
Pawn shops are good place to get physical copies of video games. At the store I worked at, we would sell games for the Playstation and Xbox for like five bucks a piece
Didn't think of that, good idea!
Great video, before moving to PC I used to use pre-owned games constantly
Thanks! Yeah it's definitely a money saver
My GPD XP Plus cost around $500 and it can play some really powerful games itself sure it's not perfect compared to Ayn Odin and all those $1000 dollar devices but it gets the job done.
That thing is awesome! I had to consider a lot of devices but the ones I left out definitely aren't bad, GPD makes great stuff!
Steam sales are my blessing/curse. Setting a cap of NZD$20 (about USD$12-13) per game during those sales helps, too.
That's a smart idea. Don't want things to get too out of control.
Hey man, i found your videos and started watching your other vid, your videos are great, but theres a small problem, why dont you add music in the background? Your videos just feel empty without them
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to incorporate more music in future videos
At the end of the day, paying full price for a new release is your decision. Being a cautious consumer, having patience and doing research will reward you with a console's best games for a third of what a new release costs. That is, if you're playing on anything besides a Nintendo console.
R.I.P. Nintendo Selects.
Patient gamers is a pretty cool thing, saves money and you actually get the complete game after a couple years of patches (unfortunately since we rarely get good releases)
Explooooooosion ! 💥
The only way to play
Deus ex and thief 1&2 go for 1 dollar each every steam sale, some of the best games ever made
That's an insane price!
step 0: become a pirate
*play pirates of the caribbean theme song*
Yeah case Nintendo games actually don't loose value like ever.
It's crazy how their games still cost $60 after 5 years
If you mostly play single player, then buy PS3 or 360 and these games:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dragon Age trilogy
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Mass Effect trilogy
TES IV Oblivion
TES V Skyrim
Maybe, Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, Fable trilogy, GTA, Red Dead Redemption.
It will be enough to play for an entire life. It will probably take you more than a year to beat them all and by the time you have done you'll forget enough to start another playthrough.
You should just accept that you won't be able to play all games. Biggest game collection is 20139 games, with a speed 1 game per day it will take more than 55 years to finish. I feel like if you have more than 100 games you should sell the ones you like less. Spend it on something you will actually use.
Don't forget infamous 1 & 2
You'd be set for a long time haha. And you're right, it is impossible to play every game, or even a sizeable fraction of the games out there.
GameFly is excellent wait for a sale which happens all the time I just picked up dead space remake for 25 no joke but again wait for a sale
Wow really? That's a great deal!
Im gonna disagree with paying extra for PS plus. As a former premium tier user, its more of a case of "heres 10 great games youve already played, and here's a few hundred that arent worth your time at all."
I think from the perspective of people who really want value first, it's good. It's not gonna have all the new stuff but for variety, it's not bad.
I personally never buy new games unless they were blessed by our lord and savior miyazaki.
That's worth
EHEM pirate
My comment got removed twice youtube what have I done wrong 0.o
No idea, the overlord is watching us apparently
@@realtayo42 I mentioned an alternative to one website you mentioned in the video. What that website is, I suppose I can't say since that's probably why it's removed (even though there's nothing wrong/illegal with it). Great video though :)
If you can’t afford video games then you should be playing less video games and work more. Duh
