How is it, you ask? How is it? While the West enjoys prostitutes, white women pussy, partying, and enjoying the hedonistic pleasures of the world, I wake up in the shitehole that is my third world country. While you pound the white female and enjoy your fiber connections, I'm on fucking dial up staring into the never loading webpages. I see nothing but my own sadness in the monitor.

How is it, you ask? Just come here and experience the shit you all overcame centuries ago.

>socialist big government party gets into power during the 2000s and perpetuates itself in power by giving money to the poor while making more people poor so they need the give outs, your purchasing power only decreases until you can't afford current gen consoles at all anymore as an upper middle class citizen, you have to either play affordable pirated ps2 games or forego buying a car for a long while because that ps4 is at least 70% of a decent car's price

Brazil made a great, selfless sacrifice.
The entirety of the population transfered all their video game skill to one hue among them.
All other Brazilians are bad at video games, so that he can be good.

We have to pay more for games, I guess that's pretty much the only difference.

on pc it is okay since steam gives you regional pricing and price cuts are steam okay

also you can get cheap keys for denuvo games.

for single player stuff pirate it.


on consoles pretty hard.

though people here does game share account selling thing. they open accounts and sell them shit like that.

that even comes much cheaper then pc games but there are risk like some fag could change password etc. generally people does this with respected people so not big problem.


im too lazy for communactions so i love steam.
and i like fact all pre console exc games coming to PC like MGS,Tekken,FF

TurkeyFag here.

game consoles cost like 500$/1500 Turk Lira
while building a decent pc with i5//8GBram/960 tier gpu also cost same.

wii u is non exisstant
xbone is barely 1000 machines at best.

people use ps4 are probably more richer dudes, playing fifa and cod mostly. on psn there are good sales for poor fags.


on pc LoL HAS fucking huge community.
also blizzard games and Gta series are insanely popular
CS go is also fucking popular.
Steam went regional pricing since 2011 or something so its good tier. you can buy games without getting robbed.

im pc fag. i had ps3 but ps4 game prices are more then console itself.

Venezuela here with a gayman PC built late 2013 and PS3. Buying games for both systems is a gigantic luxury due to local prices being humongous relative to work wages and digital dollars being outright impossible to aquire without external connections, and importing is a terribly expensive and complicated process to boot.

Gaming here consists of cheap pirated last gen games or undemanding f2p games on PC. In my case I have friends in other countries that gift me games every now and then, but playing with them is a hassle because of terrible Internet speed that averages at 150 ping at best on early mornings.

A ps4 is 8000 ARS[568 usd] in argentina if you're lucky and goes up to 13.000[923 usd](sony store price) depending on where you buy.

And games cost 127/87 usd on launch.

Everyone goes to the house of that one friend who has one. Take turns or do local multiplayer.
Or
You have your parents who are working overseas gift you one by parcel.
Same goes for games. Borrow or exchange with friends, or have parents send you some, though you can find pirated versions of these for a significantly lower price.

Internet Cafés are still popular LAN party hotspots. Some even run their own tournaments.
Console arcades have also been a thing since since the 90s, maybe even before that. Both charge you by the hour.

This is the only image I'm allowed on my phone, so pic sort of unrelated. I'm also probably going to get executed for accessing this site later lol.

Here in North Korea, we have a VERY small amount of games. The only ones you people may know of is Pyongyang Racer and those propaganda flash games, but only recently here in North Korea we got arcades where you can play NES and MegaDrive games. They said that the great leader gave us these systems, but they only say that to avoid being arrested.

The only games I have ever played that aren't propaganda are Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, Pac Man and Sonic The Hedgehog.

It is said that some hospitals here have the Wii for muscle development, but I've never seen one in person. It's supposed to be a little white box controlled with a bar shaped controller.

Other than that, we only really get to play games for about 30 minutes at a time since people are queuing up just to play "The Great Leader's amazing games!". I'm going to be executed later. Have a nice evening you lot.
