15 000 USD for a computer game!

[Discord]

I was just thinking about how much money I spend on computer games lately. Now the question is, what is the most that you have spent on a computer game?

For one, I'm a miser when it comes to games. I don't actually think that I've spent more than 20EUR(approx. 20$) on a game, considering that the new games cost about 50EUR.

Now I know a guy, who has spent 15 000 $ on a game. It's an online RPG called Achaea MUD. Great game, but I couldn't possibly imagine spending more than 300 $ on a game. Well, that'd be the absolute maximum. So I verbally fell from my chair as I've heard the number. One thing is sure, he got almost every goody you can get.

So, what's your personal record on spending money for games? I bet you'll all beat my 20$.

For a single game? I think it was a shade over $100, which is what I paid for Xenosaga some years back. IE Before I had any American friends. Hmm, yeah, it'd have been about $105 to $110.

Of course added up, I think City of Heroes now comes out at about the same, but I don't really count subscriptions so much.

I spent about $150 on Steel Battalion. Totally worth it. Great game.

$80 for Guild Wars collectors edition.

fo Black and White 2 i needed to get a new Graphics card and More RAM so that came to a total of about £130

[Samuraid]

$60 for a collectors edition/pack of some games.

For a computer game, I think around $50.00. I almost always wait until they drop to $35 or less though, unless I was serverely hyped about it (see: Call of Duty 2).

Well, including monthly fees, I've probably spent over $200 on Ultima Online. I've never spent more than $30-40 dollars at one time on a computer game, though.

I can't think of a game I've paid more than 60 dollars for. That was Majora's Mask.

Probably Steel Battalion for about $150... I'm a little sad because I'm too scared to play it since it erases your save if you die too many times...

Yeah, Steel Battalion is har'core. I gotta get a hold of it.

Um... 50 dollars on Sims 2, which just ended up crashing on my computer anyway. :rolleyes2

[eestlinc]

how the hell do you spend $15000 on a game?

[fantasyjunkie]

Well, including monthly fees, I've probably spent over $200 on Ultima Online. I've never spent more than $30-40 dollars at one time on a computer game, though.

yeah, I played Ultima Online for over 3 years so I know what you mean. The last 20 years I've been playing games I could count the number of times I spent the whole $50 on one hand. I usually buy a used copy or wait it out till it comes cheaper.

1) It erases your save if you die once. Not a few times. You get one life!
2) You can eject and try the mission again...but you will lose the mech you used because you ejected on the battlefield. I don't know what happens when you run out of mechs.
3) Your save file sticks around because you can go back and play missions you have already completed. I recommend this to screw around with other mechs to hone your skillz.
