Is NHL16 worth $79?

[Baozi 1,662]

Holy fuck i just realized it released for $80 wtf?

 

Anyone else buy it? Whats the thoughts on it if you don't play HUT?

I'm going to wait for it to come down to a reasonable price on ebay

[boubabi 4,725]

no

I waited 3-4 months to buy mlb 15 and got it for $30.00 at eb games. id most likely say do that for nhl

No game is worth that much honestly. Video games come down in price, especially when the holidays approach. There is no rush to buy them, especially considering nHL has recycled the same garbage for the last 5-6 years.

I think it really depends on how much you think you will play it.

 

Obviously, nobody wants to pay that much for a game. After taxes at EB Games for me it was $89. I can't really justify paying that much for a game ever, but I figure I play NHL so much and love EASHL so much that it likely comes out as worth it in the end.

 

I don't play HUT much either, but I do enjoy the new things to GM mode, and EASHL.

I still play NHL14 (x360). Mostly offline seasons,..which reminds me I should get back to that..someday.

I'm not as big into gaming anymore to much other stuff and there IS this.

So I'm asking..

Is there really that much difference (aside from the better graphics and rosters ) between 14 and 16?

There's definitely a big difference in the gameplay side of things. It's a lot less "robotic" looking on the PS4/One than it looks like on the 360/PS3.

 

Last year, I had both copies for PS3 and PS4, because there was no EASHL on the PS4. It was really different going between next-gen and old-gen. You definitely have to get used to it a little bit and the puck is a lot more loose.

16 is a lot different from 15..that's for sure.

 

One of the better NHL's in quite some time (at least game play wise).

 

That being said, no NHL game is ever really worth that price.  I just play it enough to get my money's worth.
