Everything is expensive

our game better then shitty amerimutt game

The best gamers used to be kids that played whatever game the pirated game seller had in stock and that he reccomended.
When people grew up and consoles started to be unpirateable, all they ever played anymore was CoD and Fifa.

i remember handing out a CD with age of empires and Commandos to all my classmates so they could just copy them on their family comps

pirating was so easy you were never the only guy with a game

27 yo neet
My days are spent playing rainbow6 , bf1, dota 2

I live in detroit does that count

>love fightan games
>tfw everyone who plays it online are halfway across the world

No because americans still pay less taxes

This. Third world EU country here. Games cost 60 Eur which is more than 1/10 of the national average wage.

That means as an average Joe, you have to work at least 2 days for a shitty game.

That's why I pirate.

does eastern europe count as 3rd world?
If yes i can just say - all kind of consoles are expensive as fuck,so nobody buys them.Also nobody owns an actual gaming pc because they are expensive too.They only way to gaming here is to buy an average laptop or have some multipurpose desktop and just pirate every game,because no one can afford to actually buy a game that costs like 50 euros when the average salary for a month is like 200-250 euros.And it's idiotic to pay for something that comes for free so yeah.

I'm saving for a switch right now, looked up prices and the cheapest new I can find is a shady import for $330. Games are $70 used IIRC.
Our minimum wage is $176 but students like me are often stuck with $0.5/hour jobs.

>average salary of 200-250 euros
fuck dude,i'm sorry. no wonder belgium is flooded with poles doing the shitty jobs no one wants to do

Sometimes I wish I could pre-order for the goodies that come with some of the games. But alas, pre-orders are usually NA and EU only.

>games cost 2 to 3 times more than tge rest of the world

thats the long story short

Expensive
Underwhelming
Almost cringy sometimes

Simplemente no se justifica a veces

Same but with dreamcast
>go to pirate market
>see hot anime girl in the cover
>how much?
>$200 pesos amigo son dos discos
>it was expensive usually bootlegs for DC cost $50 pesos, but buy it anyways
>get home ready to fap
>it's a fucking winter sports game
got blueballed so hard

It happened again later, but this time it was indeed porn movie recorded and cheaper, just was a shitty gangbang porn movie with people above 40, the thing is it was DUBBED and either it was a troll or something went wrong when recording because the voices were slowed down, it was really weird but still fapped.

Argentina here. I buy every game from the US PS Store, the best deal I can get in my whole country and neighbor countries, and it's still expensive.

Like... 1/5 or 1/6 of the minimum monthly wage

Third worlds have internet access?

>200 pesos
>still got shit
Jesus christ sounds like lootboxes IRL, at least with the bootlegs i bought they kinda resembled the source material.

>the thing is it was DUBBED and either it was a troll or something went wrong when recording because the voices were slowed down, it was really weird but still fapped.
You probably got the first Vaporwave porno in existence.

I'm brazilian and i wanted to buy a switch but nintendo no longer sells games officially here
But i'm going to the US on january
Should i buy a switch there?

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

>that spoiler
my condolences

shit is expensive, thank god for the free shit that pc gets once in a while, if not i would be stuck playing sonic adventure 2 and warframe

More like you live in a worthless shithole and feel entitled to luxuries.
Most all games are the exact same price when considering exchange rates.

>meanwhile in argentina

Not him, he's missing the big picture.

It's not about the price, it's about the purchasing power. And that's where we 3rd worlderls lose.

Such marvelous and handsome white people

In Alabama we have the same games available everywhere else...

Does Battlestar Galactica online still exist?
Is it still a total war between Brazil and Argentina?

>More like you live in a worthless shithole and feel entitled to luxuries.

compared to the cost of importing literally any other comodity, electronic entertainment is insanely pricey, though. We live comfortable lifes on a similar level as the average yank or yuro generally speaking, some things are just severely taxed by local governments.

60 dollars is the benchmark price of a game in the US; in Brazil it can cost up to 120-180 USD in the local currency for no reason.

>unzips torrent

japfag here
bretty bad cause weeb shit

>Is it still a total war between Brazil and Argentina?

Between people with an IQ less than 115, yes, there's still a war.

Don't you guys have some sort of gambling law in place from your gay ass government?

I never had games as a kid because my dad sold my nintendo gameboy to buy crack.

>be argie
>country is a political and social shitstorm
>rarely enjoy new games coming out
>consoles are fucking expensive
>pc parts are hard to find at good prices
>all the good old online games I enjoyed as a kid arent populated much anymore, like Quake , CS or Unreal
>my area is feminists, kikes and the motherfucking commies galore

I want to go back to Neuquen, I fucking hate working in the capital. Atleast there is good internet speed here, mostly.

Brazil does, for the rest of the continent there are just stupid tarifs and colusion between distributors and publishers.

But USA isn't third world user

Sadly, it's been like this since 2001.
Such a shitty country to game

>Sup Forums shilled the shit out of me for GR
>want to buy Remastered and 2
>more than 200 USD for both here in tacoland
>saving money to buy them
I want off this ride

>not taking a short trip to buy your PC parts in Chile

>that time where I would go to a cyber and pay a shitton to play with friends some deathmatch after high school is long gone
>probably saved hundreds trying to get aPS4 only to realize games are also overpriced and dropped it
>Steam added pesos but my PC cant run well most newer games

I want to die.

>short
Crossing Argentina at the middle region sideways is like crossing 6/7 western european countries

No I mean in game.

ya murio venezuela?

Still applies, my friend

First time I paid for a game was sometime after 2010

fuck import taxes.

No, aun intenta el gobierno fingir que el socialismo funciona mientras que el resto sufre.

>Reyes Magos (aka:the Three Wise Men from the Bible)
>Shitty version of Santa
First off it's celebrated one week later and second of all it means it's common in Latin America to get two gifts (though the Reyes gift tends to be shittier). If you only got one present you either did it wrong or are poor.

That being said, I feel for you and your story.

Bien ahí con el google traductor, maricón.

You can find them for less in Amazon Mexico

Let me into USA pls

>american
>white

Best cpus that you can buy very cheap with a whole used computer are Core 2 duo E8400 and i5 2400.
Add a solid used gpu like R7 260x, 7770, 6770, 5770, 4850, rx460 and you have a great computer for games with less than $200.

amazon.com/ELITE-E8400-3-00GHz-WINDOWS-INSTALLLED/dp/B00KTN7WA4
$45
amazon.com/Optiplex-790-Intel-i5-2400-3-1GHz/dp/B01G2FQ7OY
$135

>If you only got one present you either did it wrong or are poor.
im sure it was the poor part, like 90% of Mexico at the time.

nope, all gone. my best bet is ebay and still is like 100 burgers

it's not region locked so just make an account set in another country (be careful of taxes) and buy shit that way. i would recommend getting the big games like botw and oddissey physical though, since the switch only has 32gb of storage without some expensive microSD.

>18mbt/s download speed

L-l-and of the free, right guys?

>*underaged boy gets off a bike*
>Eh amego

>yfw

My country is never inclueded in the third world pics :(

Life is okay here. I have fun.

*unsheathes machete*

...

just buy more internet bro

>19mbps Upload

Is that bad? I get 1mbs upload

>upload
kek I havent even seed once

i have similar upload though my download is faster.

too bad they throttle me during peak hours so between 8 pm to around 11 my internet is shit

you deserve to die

>hey user want to come to my house and play vidya?
>sure ok
>nothing but fifa and CoD
>don't you have anything else?
>I have Gears fo War
>oh fuck yeah
>spend hours ghnashing and chainsawing each other

Shame he moved, I'm gonna miss you, Jorge

200 ping every fucking game
US texas shitters with 5 ping talking shit about you being bad, while they click their spells instead of hotkeys

Before teamspeak nobody would judge my skills or behavior, after joining teamspeak they see the flag and starts to bitch about anything i do.

Who the fuck seeds video game torrents? It's almost like you WANT to be arrested by the FBI, morons.

Why do Mexicans like Anime so much?

anime es chido wey

ayer empeze Konosuba, pinche chingoneria dejame decirte

Mexico here
Ryzen 1400 + 1050 Ti
Still pirate everything I can except online multiplayer games.

Amazon Mexico is a blessing.
And finding good deals in ML works too.

kek

I'm from Mexico and I used to pirate tons of PS1,PS2 and PSP games but thanks to Amazon Mexico and Steam I rarely pirate nowadays

Peru here
Planning on getting a 3ds for xmas but amazons prices seem to be just as bad as the ones in polvos

Any tips?

Totes. I feel ya bro

O en polvos o chequea catálogos a ver si ripley o coolbox tienen promoción. En navidad siempre ponen promos de consola + juego (pero me imagino que querrás piratearlo, es solo cuestión de ver todas tus opciones).

are you poor or what? I have a ps4 for the exclusives and a pc for the sweet 60 fps and they werent that expensive.

That's northern Argentina, the disowned, shitty(er) part of Argentina. Blame bolivians and paraguayans.
The closer you get to the South the whiter it gets.
>t. Northern Argentinian

>tfw you missed out on buying parts from Chile
>now the price difference is 70% lower
fuck my life

That's true till you get to... the Cordoba-Rosario-Buenos Aires area, even to La Pampa and San Luis.
South from there, it stops being white again.

Argentina is a nice place desu. Friendly people, good food, nice landscapes.
t. brazilian

>tfw have to deal with commies and feminists on the daily and we're not even good economically unlike US so it's even worse
jesus christ can we fix our economy first at least, I'd seriously have US shitty identity politics any day over this, in fact I'd probably benefit from it because muh Latino muh minority

Good post, unironically
t. Argentinian

No sé si debería piratearlo, quiero jugar los FE y creo que pirata no corre los DLC

Aparte escuche que ya no podías piratear con las nuevas versiones y quiero evitar comprar usado

>tfw live in a comfy, redpilled town with nice people, close enough to the city so I can buy stuff
sure the internet is shit but online gaming is fucking terrible nowadays so who cares, playing with IRL friends is much better anyways

Why is argie meat so good bros?
>try any other meat
>tastes like fucking cardboard

what place did you visit?

have you ever checked the flags on Sup Forums, /bant/, or Sup Forums

Buenos Aires and Bariloche. Basically tourist bait places, I know.
One thing I found funny is that people in Argentina drive like mad fucks who don't give a shit about anything.

Probably because ITS PEEEOPPLLLEEE
