People currently living in the UK are experiencing cost of living crisis. It affects everyone’s life because as electricity prices skyrocket, countless people (yes, including some of the staff on this site) are starting to take energy usage seriously.
Eurogamer released a breakdown of energy usage for the current generation of consoles today with Digital Foundry, and it’s pretty good; you should read it! Perhaps, however, you’re struggling to take the numbers with the right level of seriousness.As a very serious site, we ran the numbers and determined It takes about 2.5 Greggs Veggie Sausage Rolls to finish Ragnarok on PS5.
According to our resident guide editor James, it takes about 40 hours to complete Ragnarok. Eurogamer and Digital Foundry have determined the cost to play an hour of Cyberpunk 2077 at 7.54p, which is the closest comparison game to Sony’s Santa Monica’s latest adventure game, costing close to £3.04 to complete it.
Those of you in your head will know that you can’t buy half a vegan sausage roll, which means you can only walk away with two rolls during these trying times. But if you’re feeling frivolous, a quick trip to Iceland can get you a four-pack of Greggs vegan sausage rolls for £3. Iceland…a perfect metaphor for Ragnarok’s snowy Midgard and the chilling action of the Tories.
We are also sad to report that the 64p a British citizen owns is not even enough to buy a can of coke at Greggs, not even a bottle of water. It now appears that we have no choice but to walk out with a dry mouth.
In all seriousness, Eurogamer’s report does reveal a lot of concern right now. We agree with their advice to double-check Rest Mode on your PlayStation and Xbox consoles and make sure you’re not draining power unnecessarily. For your PC users, you’re probably aware of the costs associated with running your machine, but if things get tight, it might be worth limiting your usage to what is arguably the most power-hungry platform.
If you can still check out God of War, we have some in-game guides that can cut your playing time somewhat, including how you can get through the Orvangar Wetlands in God of War Ragnarok, and how you can play in God of War Complete “The Weight of the Chains” in Ragnarok?
