TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE VIDEO GAMES THAT YOU SHOULD PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE

TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE GAMES EVER:

We'll list the games supported their development prices alone. that offers a a lot of attention-grabbing reflection of what proportion work was place into the particular task of making the sport, departure out the skewing numbers of advertisements on billboards and spots on TV.

Let's get to it. Here are the most expensive video games ever made based on development costs.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots' (2008)

Development cost: $70 million ($78 million with 2017-inflation)
Total cost: Konami has never mentioned a total cost
Developer/publisher: Kojima Productions / Konami
Platform: PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4 has an almost bad reputation for its hour-long cut-scenes and convoluted story. The game felt more like a movie than an actual game a lot of times, and we guess creating cut-scenes and coming up with the ideas for the insanely original and somewhat confusing plot took a lot of time, which in the end resulted in a rather costly game.

'Max Payne 3' (2012)

Development cost: $105 million ($110 million with 2017-inflation)
Total cost: Rockstar Games has never mentioned a total cost
Developer/publisher: Rockstar Studios / Rockstar Games
Platform: PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows and OS X
Max Payne 3 features a stunning video game version of San Paulo, a gripping continuation of the franchise's story and some very well-developed gameplay. Rockstar even sent researchers to the city of San Paulo to make their digital version as good as possible.

'Grand Theft Auto 5' (2013)

Development cost: $137 million ($142 million with 2017-inflation)
Total cost: $265 million ($272 million with 2017-inflation)
Developer/publisher: Rockstar North / Rockstar Games
Platform: Microsoft Windows, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One
GTA 5 was immense when it came out in 2013 and it's still immense today. Los Santos, Blaine County and the rest of the San Andreas State is just enormous, and the amount of options and details put into this game is hard to believe. To top it off, the story is genuinely hilarious and the visuals are breathtaking. There are so many things to do in GTA 5, you find yourself thinking $137 million is an incredibly good deal.

'Destiny' (2014)

Development cost: $140 million ($143 million with 2017-inflation)
Total cost: $500 million ($513 million with 2017-inflation)
Developer/publisher: Bungie / Activision
Platform: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One
Bungie's Destiny had a problematic birth which goes to show in the game's production cost. When the game finally finished, it delivered on most promises. The open worlds of our solar system were beautiful, the character designs were flawless and the leveling and weapon systems were interesting.

It's a truly unique game that had a costly, pioneering approach to its gameplay. Not everything worked out, as the story seemed rushed and many online-elements didn't work well in the long run, but at least it was a triple A title that tried to do something in a different way. And the current state of the game is a lot better than the initially released version.

Star Wars: The Old Republic' (2011)

Development cost: $200 million ($213 with 2017-inflation)
Total cost: Electronic Arts has never mentioned a total cost
Developer/publisher: BioWare / Electronic Arts
Platform: Microsoft Windows
This Star Wars-based MMORPG delivered on many fans' burning wish for a huge, online multiplayer experience in the Star Was universe. To pull this off, the team behind the game needed an enormous amount of cash, as they had to build entire planets and moons to support the gameplay and lore.

This took time and a lot of hard work, which translated into the absurdly high production cost of Star Wars: The Old Republic. No other game that we know of even comes close to the $200 million spent here. Which is totally understandable; in most of the above games, we're only talking about world or solar system-building. Here, we're talking about galaxy-building—a much more demanding task.
