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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 46 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Nah, I'm good thanks.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 32 points 3 weeks ago

Nice marketing campaign for hate-purchases.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

I'd rather buy a cheeseburger

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks 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

Thanks but Id rather get a the beesechurger instead

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 weeks ago

i think the author is talking about mcdonalds "cheeseburgers"

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

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

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 17 points 3 weeks 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?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 16 points 3 weeks ago

Still too much.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Rather set the money on fire, tbh.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

You are paying with your time though

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like the sentiment in the comment section

Also... Is this cheapo burger with us in the room right now OP?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

They mean mcdonald's burgers, not real burgers. And the fact that they're 3.50 is a fucking travesty to begin with.

[–] Yucky_Dimension@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Tree fiddy, you say?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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