What's the best value for money you got for gaming?

[DieGrootHammer]

The only games that really come to mind that I would say was real good value for money was:

Minecraft - I payed something like R150 for the alpha access, and played many 100's of hours. I played Minecraft on-off for almost 6 years, all for only R150

Kerbal Space Program - sitting at north of 400 hours, this game was every single cent worth it.

Test Drive Unlimited - I got this on Xbox 360, I paid something in the area of R300 for it second hand, and my word, I put in a metric ton of hours into that game.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 - Another second hand bundle, I only got into the Mass Effect crazy a few years into it. Both games were in a second hand bundle I got for Xbox 360, and well, even though I can't remember the actual amount I paid, it was all absolutely worth it in the end.

In terms of services, I'd say that Google Music, Showmax and Netflix are all services I cannot live without, and happily pay their subscriptions each month.

[MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] I see the Destiny pack + DLC is going for R469 on the PS store right now. Worth it?
[MENTION=12607]mottamort[/MENTION] let's hear it man. Will be an interesting observation.

Ok, where to begin...On origin:

FIFA 13: 600+ hours - spent: 0 Lots of fun had, got 2 copies of this from the learn2code promo, many friday nights LANning this

BF3: 300+ hours - spent: 0 gifts from Humble Bundle, again also lanned this, many times alternating between these 2 games.

Then steam...
Half-Life 2: 18 hours - spent: 0 steamgifts ftw.... best time I"ve ever spent, replaying this game for the achievements

ARK:Survival Evolved: 350+ hours - spent: $23.99 - While I currently loathe the developers for the stuff they've pulled, I can't deny having really amazing times in this game...so money I don't regret spending definitely.

I won't list all the Non-AAA free games like Adventure capitalist or RoTMG here as well as the Non-AAA "free" games I've received, as that would be like 300+ games

Probably World of Warcraft.

I never played on the official servers, always on private/pirate servers. I also never bought the game :3

I honestly don't know how much time I spent on WoW; I played both TBC and WotLK. I had an addon when I played WotLK (Altoholic) that would show you have my hours/days you have spent on each character, and then a total for the account. I remember that I had more than 70 days on my account on the one server I played (think it was Molten).
70 days = 1680 hours, and that is just one server.

I played on multiple servers over the years due to server closures, moving to better servers, etc. If I had to guess I would say that, in total, I probably spent more than 4000 hours playing WoW. I don't play anymore

Terraria spend $15 and have racked over 300 hours

nation red $10 about 200 hours

I once almost got, like, a PS4 for free but it turned out the store's detector worked afterall. Who knew?

I think Trackmania2 Stadium is probably the best buy I ever made. I still go back to it regularly to just unwind and test my high-school German trying to decipher the in-game convos.

Stardew Valley should probably get a special mention as well.

I'd have to say Battlefield: Bad Company 2 it was awesome playing that game. Steam tells me 600+ hours.

Need for Speed 3 paid R99 back in 1999, the salesman at makro just wanted to sell sega rally 2 to me, even showing me that it looked better than nfs but i didnt care as that was the game that i wanted I still have it (with all its original packaging, still play it, still modding it probably put in over 20 000+ hours in that game.

Bioshock - Paid R750 when it came out, was uber Expensive for a game back then in 2007, it also killed my launch xenon xbox and i had to swop it out with Incredible connection and midigital (another R600) for a falcon replacement (which had HDMI ) when the red ring fiasco was upon us back then, it was still worth the money and i probably finished it 5 times and its still today one of the best games that you can play on the market.

Forza 4 paid just over R400 on the day of release (ebay) compared to what it did cost here, still playing it.

Wait what?

Yeah that's what the security guard said, too.

Bloodborne - I have no idea how many hours I've played, but I still play it pretty much every week since it released.

Borderlands 2 - Currently at 310 hours on PC and another 50 odd hours on PS3 and then some more on PS4.

There are loads more but my brain can't recall them right now.
