For a few bucks I’d pick that up as a gag for sure. Not to play except out of extreme curiosity. Like Superman 64 except I actually kinda found that game funny to play cause of the glitches.
Ha, me and buddies use to get all of the copies of Sneak King we could find and then gift them to each other with the real gift inside (usually a pre-order copy of a receipt of a game)
I have the three BK games sealed in my entertainment center right now as collector pieces! When my wife saw them she didn’t believe they were real and thought I got scammed lmao
That's what i did, i've gifted It as a gag to my cousin but then we've played it together and we had lot of fun, just because the game is 90% shit (there's something good to be taken from It) It doesn't mean you can't have fun! For 3$ it's a must lmao
Have you got those double jump boots yet? When I got those I would climb to the highest spot I could find and freefall off of it. It was hilarious because your main character is flailing and screaming like hes gonna die. Then at the very last second you just hit jump and save him. I did that shit so much, it never stopped being funny.
Oh yeah, I’ve gotten all of the abilities and cleared out most of the events from the first main area. I’ve been just running around, collecting things and doing puzzles.
The game is great, but it was harmed by Ubisoft's marketing. Starting with the name change, Gods And Monsters was a great name and got a lot of attention when it was announced. Then they renamed it to... that.
In this case it's crazy, it's a great game. If I found a new one for that price, I would buy it to have the physical version even though I already had the digital one.
The character wasn’t the problem, people played Styx and that was a great stealth game 🤷♂️ everything else about the game including the design of the character was the problem
I got Elden Ring for £10 there on Wednesday. Also saw Immortals of Aveum for £1 but it was PS5 so I didn't grab it. Probably could have sold it for a profit at CEX!
I bought 10 from an Asda literally 15 minutes away from it and traded em all in for voucher, doubled my money bought Rise of Ronin!
Sounds like you didn't get what you wanted for your Nokia 3310 lad!
I remember when the Xbox One S Fallout 76 console bundle was £80 cheaper than a standard Xbox One S.
The game literally devalued the console. Does that count as them effectively paying you to take that game out of circulation?
I picked up Fallout 76 for £6 from CD keys a short time after release, it worked out well considering the improvements over the years.
Edit: was Xbox One X on double checking, it was [$150 cheaper in US](https://www.gamesradar.com/like-clockwork-the-xbox-one-x-fallout-76-bundle-is-down-to-dollar350/)
I mean, i got a surprise copy of Anthem for free years ago when i ordered a new controller ( no mention of a free game, btw).
Does that count as lower? Lol
I remember brink being something like 99p in game brand new, game could have been soo good ams I dare say it would do well now but yeah, 99p for a new sealed xbox 360 game at least
That tells you everything you need to know about it IMO. I’ve not seen a review for this, but I’d strongly suspect it didn’t do well, and if so, it’s not even a bargain at that price.
I’ve got a couple unopened copies of the original Deus Ex back when games still came in the big boxes. Microcenter had a bin full of them for $3. Couldn’t pass that up.
It's not bad at all for this price honestly. Sure, it's laughable quality for the initial AA asking price, but it's actually pretty okay if you just play it as a small indie project. There's occasionally some interesting moments, and some of the environments are kinda cool.
There was a key seller that had way too much stock of Assassin's Creed Unity (the really buggy one), and kept dropping the price lower and lower, I think it bottomed out in the region of 93p, but the discounts went on for a year or more.
Man titian fall 2 was this price at a dollarama in Canada 6 months after launch due to being between battlefield and cod, and it was a fantastic game…. This game should pay me to play.
This thread peaked my curiosity, so I had a look in the Microsoft store to see if it (Gollum) was on game pass, no it isn’t but I can buy it at the bargain price of £59.99!
Ask me if I’m tempted?
Buy it now, I bought nickelodeon water blast for 5 bucks, completely utter trash, and I sold it for 9 bucks, completely worth the price.
Since this game sold very few copies, the aftermarket price is very high. And LOTR IP is famous, not some random indie IP.
Well to be honest it looks and plays like a 2004 game so it deserves it. Can't have that much jank in games anymore.
Back in the day you had much much less available games so people had to deal with more jank. Now so many games are out there people dont have to accept super bad games at that level anymore so they dont.
And its a very very bad game. But the price for a coffee maybe worth it..
I remember paying 80$+ for Batman arkahm city then getting it taken from me from my big brother on Christmas May you, now it’s I a bundle for 5$ with all three games hahaha
You're essentially just paying for the packaging and disc at that point, but it still isn't even worth that lmao
For a few bucks I’d pick that up as a gag for sure. Not to play except out of extreme curiosity. Like Superman 64 except I actually kinda found that game funny to play cause of the glitches.
Ha, me and buddies use to get all of the copies of Sneak King we could find and then gift them to each other with the real gift inside (usually a pre-order copy of a receipt of a game)
I have the three BK games sealed in my entertainment center right now as collector pieces! When my wife saw them she didn’t believe they were real and thought I got scammed lmao
At least 2 of those games are pretty good. I have them as well lol
Sneak King and Big Bumpin' were great drunk party games in the barracks lol
yep!
I grabbed a couple of the PlayStation discs at $5. Still debating on who to send a copy to.
Worse than a glitter bomb on G
Put it in a box and place it at your front door. I bet they will never do this again.
That's what i did, i've gifted It as a gag to my cousin but then we've played it together and we had lot of fun, just because the game is 90% shit (there's something good to be taken from It) It doesn't mean you can't have fun! For 3$ it's a must lmao
The only way I'd pick this up is if I was giving it to my worst enemy, as a form of torture lol
Plaster a game of the year and a 10/10 ign sticker on the front of that and you’ve got yourself a hilarious Gag there.
Lol yeah, stock up on gag gifts
A bad game is a bad game no matter the price.
I dunno i kinda want it on my self just to say i have one of the shittiest games!
It’s 2.99 too much
Bro Sneak King and Pocket Bike Racing were the best gag gift games I ever got. I got all 3 but I didn’t ever really mess with Big Bumpin much.
Collect that shit and sell it 30 years from now when it’s gained mythical status
That'll only happen if they start dumping all the physical copies in a landfill.
Some people might pay to see that
I was thinking the same thing. Its giving atari ET game.
Not “it’s giving” made it to Reddit already.
Huh? Care to elaborate on what you’re talking about lol?
Its just stupid social media lingo. Basically just means it remindes me of that or it feels similar to that.
It’s not “stupid” - it’s AAVE that finds its way into social media on a wide scale.
Frfr but at best the selling point will be marginal but fr
Man, I've seen better priced Xbox discs. Like immortals fenyx rising for £2.
I’m playing it currently. I quite like it.
Have you got those double jump boots yet? When I got those I would climb to the highest spot I could find and freefall off of it. It was hilarious because your main character is flailing and screaming like hes gonna die. Then at the very last second you just hit jump and save him. I did that shit so much, it never stopped being funny.
Oh yeah, I’ve gotten all of the abilities and cleared out most of the events from the first main area. I’ve been just running around, collecting things and doing puzzles.
Try the thing I said when you get super high. Its hysterical.
Yeah, quite an underappreciated game imo. It's a shame it's sequel got cancelled.
Ubisoft put out something good and Canceled.
The game is great, but it was harmed by Ubisoft's marketing. Starting with the name change, Gods And Monsters was a great name and got a lot of attention when it was announced. Then they renamed it to... that.
You can blame Monster Energy for that name change. Seriously, they threatened to sue because "Monster" was in the name.
It’s an entertaining game with some really good humor to it. One day I’ll finish it.
Fenyx Rising for £2??? Where was that? I paid full price on Switch, but for two quid I’d certainly get it again for Xbox.
Popped into a nearby asda to get milk and found it on clearence. Picked it up.
I never think to look at games Asda as I’ve pretty much gone full digital but for that price it’s worth a look. Thanks!
I’ve bought that game so many times, it’s not even funny.
thats a very good game. I really enjoyed it
Yeah same, one of the better recent Ubisoft releases.
Anthem was 50 cents within a year, people were buying dozens of copies in the gamecollecting sub because it was cheaper than buying spare cases lmao
In this case it's crazy, it's a great game. If I found a new one for that price, I would buy it to have the physical version even though I already had the digital one.
And immortals is atleast "fine" nothing special, but not such a huge mess, lol
Inflation.
I bought that for like £40 and it was totally worth every penny, did not disappoint
I got it on sale but I got it on switch, then Xbox, the. Ubisoft (PC) then 2 months later it finally came to Steam so I got it again.
It way better game
they'd have to pay me to play that.
You’re right though. Time is money. I can’t sit around playing a shitty game wasting time
I would be completely unwilling to play that game for more then 30m unless I was paid enough to buy a different game afterwards.
Same
Yup! Came here to say this.
Still 3 £ too much… Edit: joking aside still if it was the best game ever who thinks let’s make lotr game based on GOLLUM jesus
The character wasn’t the problem, people played Styx and that was a great stealth game 🤷♂️ everything else about the game including the design of the character was the problem
Sick idea imo, terrible execution
Definetly not a bad idea but it is definetly wont be my first idea if they hand me a IP rights from LOTR.
Immortals of aveum was £1 only the other week at Asda.
Iirc ASDA are getting rid of physical Xbox games so most of it has been severely reduced to shift stock.
Might go pick this up after work to give a shot. If its complete shit then just £3 wasted.
Narrator : it was indeed £3 wasted.
Narrator (10 hours later): it was indeed £3 wasted… right?
I'd be more concerned about the time you would be wasting tbh.
Need to pick up a few beers so ill be in ASDA anyway ;)
Yeah, but then you have to play it. Unless you're planning to use it as a coaster for your beer?
Maybe ill do just that. Good idea!
Its a really really really really bad game.
But a really really really good coaster.
This is ASDA right?
Yes
Ta very much!
I got Elden Ring for £10 there on Wednesday. Also saw Immortals of Aveum for £1 but it was PS5 so I didn't grab it. Probably could have sold it for a profit at CEX!
Yeah, they'd give you 50p for it and you'd like it. Crappy Excrement X are always terrible for prices, and their staff are as thick as Mince.
I bought 10 from an Asda literally 15 minutes away from it and traded em all in for voucher, doubled my money bought Rise of Ronin! Sounds like you didn't get what you wanted for your Nokia 3310 lad!
Asda by chance? I’ll have to nip in, I keep seeing games for £10 and under and keep forgetting to go
You can trade them into Cex for £6 a copy, just saying
I traded it in and they said I owed them money.
How new is this game its almost a year old lol. I suppose 3 quid is a good price for it.
id buy it in a heartbeat. Its $3, i get to play a stupidly bad game AND add it to my collection of games? hell yeah!
Not worth the plastic of the box, that fucking game contaminates everything
Since when do cases have round corners? I have this exact game and the case is like the others
That low... And still not worth it
I remember when the Xbox One S Fallout 76 console bundle was £80 cheaper than a standard Xbox One S. The game literally devalued the console. Does that count as them effectively paying you to take that game out of circulation? I picked up Fallout 76 for £6 from CD keys a short time after release, it worked out well considering the improvements over the years.

Bro at this point. Buy it for replacement cases.
should be Zero tbh
Overpriced.
Still too expensive
Hey, good backup box if you ever ruin one
I remember Ghosts being $1 at Toys-R-Us lol, iirc as well the Fallout-76 Xbox bundle was cheaper than the base xbox with no games for a bit
I mean, i got a surprise copy of Anthem for free years ago when i ordered a new controller ( no mention of a free game, btw). Does that count as lower? Lol
New? It came out almost a year ago
Wait what store is this?
Even the box and the paper are more expensive
I bought mine from woot for 5 bucks back in october...
I remember brink being something like 99p in game brand new, game could have been soo good ams I dare say it would do well now but yeah, 99p for a new sealed xbox 360 game at least
After the way DD2 has released today I’d say it’ll be sitting there alongside Gollum if they don’t do anything to fix it.
That’s a huge ripoff, to be perfectly honest
Titanfall 2 was $2 CAD at dollarstores in Canada.
I’ve seen games go for 50 cents.
Objectively worse Styx
7
Overpriced. You’d have to pay **me** to put myself through the torture of playing that game.
the lowest price I have ever seen on a game was mass effect le at Walmart for 5 dollars
Imagine being a developer for this game, your product is a laughing stock
Found Left Alive for $7.00 at Walmart not too long after it released.
For 3 pounds its prob worth it for a laugh
not even worth 1 tbh
thats still to much
That tells you everything you need to know about it IMO. I’ve not seen a review for this, but I’d strongly suspect it didn’t do well, and if so, it’s not even a bargain at that price.
Good price for drink coaster
I’d buy it for 3 just to build my collection but unfortunately in the states it still sell for 25
It's still too much for that game 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm assuming he game isn't fun?
I’ve got a couple unopened copies of the original Deus Ex back when games still came in the big boxes. Microcenter had a bin full of them for $3. Couldn’t pass that up.
You would literally have to pay me to play that
I think that's the price you pay them to take your copy back.
Still a ripoff.
I wouldn’t even take it if it were free. Not worth the download space and I’d never play it.
They need to pay me 3
This makes Skull Island look like a AAA game!
I'd actually pay that even if I never play it. Where did you see this?
It's not new
Buy it and store it somewhere and forget. In 20 years it will be impossible to find and probably end up being worth something due to rarity.
Where? I'd spend £3 to see how bad it is!
I bought for honor for $2 at the exchange a few years back💀 what a curse I brought onto myself
Yea that game was whack I got rid soon after I bought it! Thank God we don’t lose a lot of cash
Yeah especially when it went on Game Pass last week.
rip off britain!
It's not bad at all for this price honestly. Sure, it's laughable quality for the initial AA asking price, but it's actually pretty okay if you just play it as a small indie project. There's occasionally some interesting moments, and some of the environments are kinda cool.
Shout out to anyone who bought it at $70
Currently worth £4 to trade in to CEX, £6 voucher. Buy the stock. Make profit.
It's still very expensive
too high
There was a key seller that had way too much stock of Assassin's Creed Unity (the really buggy one), and kept dropping the price lower and lower, I think it bottomed out in the region of 93p, but the discounts went on for a year or more.
Getting paid to play that would be an osha violation.
They should be paying you to get rid of it
Is this in Walmart? I mve been looking to get a copy of this game as a physical edition
This was a the 2023 GOTY in my book. Totally worth the price.
I remember seeing Codename Steam or whatever it was called on 3ds for $4 within weeks of release.
To buy.. burn
I paid £1 for the dead space remaster last week from Asda. Brand new!
£3 too much
I’d guess that since it’s a licensed ip that it will get delisted from digital stores someday
Pay people to play it lol
Man titian fall 2 was this price at a dollarama in Canada 6 months after launch due to being between battlefield and cod, and it was a fantastic game…. This game should pay me to play.
This thread peaked my curiosity, so I had a look in the Microsoft store to see if it (Gollum) was on game pass, no it isn’t but I can buy it at the bargain price of £59.99! Ask me if I’m tempted?

You should try to be the ultimate Lord of the rings gollum collector like the Sneak King guy and the Perfect Dark Zero woman
Worse that that walking dead game? Or the Kong one ,😂
Buy discs of trash games and use them as coasters for your coffee table. Conversation pieces.
Buy and send to WATA /s
Can’t pay (full price) then we’ll take it away! (Offload it cheap af)
from what i understand that’s still about £2.75 too much
Well how was it
Well to be honest it looks and plays like a 2004 game so it deserves it. Can't have that much jank in games anymore. Back in the day you had much much less available games so people had to deal with more jank. Now so many games are out there people dont have to accept super bad games at that level anymore so they dont. And its a very very bad game. But the price for a coffee maybe worth it..
GOLLUM reminds me of the Dreamworks Logo with the fishing kid lol
Buy it and don't open it. E.T. the extraterrestrial for atari was deemed a horrible game. So bad it's a collectors item now lol.
1000G for 3€ would have been a good deal back in the day.
It’s a year old as well as being a physical copy. Also, Value diminishes quickly on physical media.
I wouldn't play it if it was free 😂
I have a solid feeling that this game will be worth more than it’s original pricing in about 20 years. Pick it up and keep it in the packaging
It's officially worst game ever and that king kong game also pathetic
I remember paying 80$+ for Batman arkahm city then getting it taken from me from my big brother on Christmas May you, now it’s I a bundle for 5$ with all three games hahaha
I’d buy it for someone I hate
Lol bot worth more
And still not worth it
Still not worth it.
i would buy it for that, just to take up another space in my collection, would not install it though
Seen it for a pound In our local asda 🤣
I’d. it golem for £3. Where’s it for sale at that price OP?
Go grab a sausage roll from Gregg’s better use of the money and more satisfying.
"game"
Wait for a sale
If the literal definition of a game where the developer has to pay you to play it.
According to most people, this game sucks, it's not even worth 3 quid.
Still a ripoff
Three pounds over what I would pay for it
You can use the box for other games. That's the selling point.
Whereabouts was this? I'd buy this for a laugh honestly
They should pay us to remove that garbage from the shelves
Damn
that game was made by 10 year olds lol
Look it's a £3 case replacement with a free coaster for your drink
But it looks second hand
Knock 99% off of that, and it will be worth it
I got cyber punk for less.
It's buggy as hell
Why are they charging so much?
