Poorfag thread

It sucks being a poorfag on /v/ because everyone is always talking about shit you cant play

Just pirate them. Most of them aren't worth the money in the end.

>iktfb

>>378364648
I usually just wait for sales and flash sales to get games. Currently I'm playing Talos Principle which I got for like 5 bucks a while back. It's pretty good.

no wut sucks is havinf money u cant spend

>tfw steam sales are ways for other people to stockpile and hoard games they'll never play while for you it's the only way for you to ever get any games

>>378365014
Uh you think were don't do that? You can't pirate a console.

>>378364648

I'm not really a poorfag since I'm an adult with a job but I don't spend a lot of money on games anymore. I finally got doom and the last of us the other day for really cheap. Glad I did because I'd feel retarded if I paid $60 for either. I just rather spend my money on other stuff.

>>378365014
>too poor for a switch
>just pirate one lol
Fuck you

>>378364648
I'm technically a poorfag, but I blow my disposable income on videogames. Currently playing Akiba's Beat.

>>378364648

I more or less do the same; not because I'm don't have money to spend on games, but because I don't want to spend more than I have to. Just keep an eye on sales on Steam/Greenmangaming/keysite xyz

Before you said poorfag thread you almost sounded like a hipster OP

>playing Persona 3 when Persona 5 is out

>not willingly living by the year gap rule
Poorfag or not thats the best way to spend the least on vidya. The industry no longer deserves full price.

>>378366553

It's more than that. People who buy on release get the worst version of the game for the highest price.

>>378366298
Literally the only worthwhile thing on the switch is Legend of Zelda but that can just be emulated

Feels superior man

>>378366804
You're playing a game a year+ later while everyone else has moved on.
You aren't laughing at anyone.

>>378366747
B-b-but you get to shitpost on /v/ about it before anyone e-else

>>378366970
Unless you're some pleb, that won't diminish the games quality.

Shut the fuck up Onsaokmaru.

>>378366971

Not even that it worth the 2/3 of the price you're saving by waiting.

>>378367061
Never said it does diminish.

Plenty of reasons

>>378367236
Shills

>>378367486
Half of the /v/ catalog or more is always newly released and upcoming games. I just can't believe how many shills have infested this place to the point where its almost unusable to talk about video games.

Yeah, that's another pretty common one. Gaming has gotten too big to ever improve these business practices, though. Maybe it needs to crash again.

We are the better consumer and yet we get the shit end of the stick.

>what's your latest clever stunt to make the most of what you got

How are you going to pirate a switch or PS4 games?

I don't have any consoles.

That's not a lot of money.

I don't pirate a lot as I used to, sadly Nintendo stuff is still quite expensive

>don't buy it and wait for bundle/goty edition

Where is the sweet spot?

If you're poor why do you have internet? Why are you worrying about video games at all? Try spending your time and money on food and making a better life for yourself, fucko

>>378371916

Smarter consumer than you.

>>378364648
Its not that im poor, im just working on my backlog.

Also its a glorious feeling to play the first game in a series, realize its good and then realize all games in the series have already been released and you happen to own them all as well and they are just there waiting to be played

I just wanna get a new GPU

>>378364648
>TFW I have never bought a game in my life

JUST

I'm saving to buy a Switch though. It'll probably be my first console ever, and BotW my first none pirated game ever.

>>378373946
Titans can run up to 2k

>>378374113
>buy a Switch
Holy shit, what a mistake. If you must get a console, buy a PS3 Slim.

>>378364648
I really want to get into fighting games and Injustice 2 came out, which I really want to get, but I'm gonna hold off on that until I make more money. There's also KoFXIV and Tekken 7, the latter of which I'm less interested in since I'm not as much into 3D fighting games but I'm willing to give it a shot, especially since Akuma's in the game, and Eliza looks cool to me as well. But I also really want to buy a fightstick, which is gonna set me back a hundred dollars at least.

Not to mention I still need to buy a Switch.

I'm proud of myself for not just throwing my money away on a whim for the stuff that I want, though. One should know the value of a dollar.

>>378374309
What's funny is watching the fags in /v/ with no self control throw money at the newest game and then cry that it's shit.

>>378374245
Switch has
>BotW
>Arms
>SMO in the future
>MK8 D

PS3 has
>Demon's Souls
>...

Also Souls game are not my thing.

>>378372538
Internet is a better life.

>>378374447
PS3 also has Dishonored, RDR, MGR, RE games, The Darkness, tons of PS1 and 2 classics, and free multiplayer.
>muh exclusives
>muh hyped up trash on Switch

>>378374447
>Thinking the PS3 has nogames 2017 unironically

Either too young or judging by your choice of PS3 game, pretty narrow tastes that your up your own ass

>>378364648

Don't ever swap.

>>378364648

PB?

>>378366289
I'm a cheap fuck as well. I want Persona 5 but I refuse to pay $60 for it, so I'm waiting for it to be at $40 or so.

>>378371845
Consoles are still expensive as fuck, Amazon or not.

>>378371605
I have more than that, what does it matter?

You don't deserve this hobby.

I bought a 3DS because I read you could hack it and load it up with emulators. Installing custom firmware took fucking forever but it worked.

Instead of being poor and shit out of luck, I'm poor and playing a link to the past on the best game boy ever.

Yeah I don't get this at all. That's why I don't just buy every new hyped release that comes out. I carefully look over each game that's coming out, see something that I think looks really cool, and then put it on my wishlist to buy when it's like, sub~$20.

>>378377673
/v/ is filled with children, what else is there to explain?
