@inTrax a rejection of AAA game dev mentality would be to make the game look "bad" or "basic" but make sure it is highly polished and well optimized. this game is... not that. it's just bad. it really looks like an upscaled 3DS game in an emulator.

@inTrax okay maybe not that bad, maybe like upscaled ps2 game in an emulator.

@intrax @beardalaxy Just did some checking, and if you believe the Bureau of Lying Statistics, which you shouldn't, one game, Resident Evil: Revelations was per Brave AI noted to have a high price close to an inflation adjusted $70 price, $50 back then. Looks like normal prices were more like $20-$30, the second installment of Senran Kagura going for the latter.

One of the nastier effects of inflation, the psychological one of "it's not worth that much" even if true inflation means they're about the same, which could be true of $30 dollar games back then.
