I summed up the cost of the games and all the DLC content to see how they would compare. Things I did not factor include: tax, micro transactions, cost reduction from bundle, bundle only items, and any cost reduction from sales.
1. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped- $49.99 Originally, $5.99 Currently
One of my favorites so I thought I'd put it on here. Both versions come with all content.
2. Rocket League- $33.95
Probably my current favorite. $19.99 for base game, $13.96 for DLC.
3. Grand Theft Auto V- $59.99
Comes with all content.
4. Super Smash Bros. Wii U- $133.87
$59.99 base game, $73.88 DLC.
5. Evolve- $324.93
$39.99 base game, $284.94 DLC.
6. Disney Infinity- $806.93 +/- for Digital, $1,700+ Physical
Base game is free (digitally) and it also comes with free content hence the +/-. $599 for characters, $69.81 for power discs, $112.14 for Play-sets, $25.98 for extra DLC. As for physical, it's 13.99 per character alone.
7. League of Legends- $3,600+
This one took me awhile. Base game is free. $1 = 130 RP, 422,480 RP for character skins, 11,520 RP for ward skins, 31,250 RP for icons, 2,600 RP for rune pages, 467,850 RP total. I added the plus since icons and skins are limited time but still available for purchase at the given time.
8. Skylanders- $7800+/-
This was too complex for me to figure out as the cost for each figure vary by rarity. They came to a rough estimate here though: http://www.voosreview.com/2014/10/skylanders-the-total-cost-of-ownership/
O.P. Message: I apologize if I made some slight errors, I was very tired when I made this. If this gets enough upvotes I will be willing to do another and if such thing happens I will take requests.

Fact check: Evolve Ultimate Edition is only $60. At least on xbox. I assume pc as well.

How about cs:go....
dirtydango
+1 for Crash Bandicoot. Finally got around recently to re-playing the series on my laptop and the nostalgia hits me hard.

Counter strike - in debt two hours after opening first case.

Stuebydoo remembers when a games console came with two controllers and a free game

ROCKET LEAGUE!!!!
Synner1985

prassel
activision still wants 20 bux for call of duty 2, and they never go under 9 bux on sale (50%) fucking greedy assholes
TotallyNotAMurderer
What aboot Star Citizen? I hear the ships go for quite a bit
ConfusedLook
Lol what one of you will fp first? I up voted the two of you.
RedzoneBlitz
It seems him but thanks tho lol.
MrPeters
Don't forget Train Simulator 2016 which costs about 23 euro but everyone need the DLCs which comes at the low cost of: 3867,71€.
Runeoath
Aaand now I'm craving League again. Once more unto the Rift we go! ^_^
OmarCruz
I kinda wanted to -1 because your brother roasted you, but I started reading, and I have to say you exposing a huge problem in gaming today
OmarCruz
You should do more investigating and the internet points will pour in,

Fucking Skylanders
lextune

Sunny D in a Stella glass. Classy.
HorseMcFucker
@OP What about Hearthstone?
RedzoneBlitz
I'd do Hearthstone but the problem is you can unlock all the content for free. I could look into something involving that tho
HorseMcFucker
Well, you could technically unlock any game here for free by hacking someone that owns It :D On a serious note, adventures, packs, etc.
RedzoneBlitz
Yeah I suppose I could do that, why not. Thanks for the comment :)
HorseMcFucker
If you want some numbers, there's several reddit posts of people throwing thousands of dollars on Hearthstone and barely having a half coll/
sawagne2
I'm not even gonna lie to you man your brother brought me here
SiennaSquigs
Actually, I just got done completing Crosh Bandiwump 3 to 105% completion last weekend. Yay me.
CptCronos
For Smash 4 did you take it as the Wii U/3DS bundles, or just the Wii U or 3DS single-sets?
RedzoneBlitz
I did just the Wii U and single set. It simplified the system of what to include vs not. The post is not to show the cheapest (1/2)
RedzoneBlitz
route but the most expensive. In my next post I will do bundle vs single set costs.
CptCronos
Mostly asking because the 3DS/Wii U bundle ones would be useless for the person who only owns the Wii U version, so wanted to check 1/2
CptCronos
To make sure that wasn't off, is all. 2/2
soulyouth
there is some train sim on steam that is like thousands of dollars
PaulHolioTheGreat
Skylanders are marketing genius! I also fucking hate them. I could have bought a car for the money I've wasted on those fuckers!
Iink
Do counterstrike
TheEarthIsFlat
That's a hard one, easily $50,000 if u want every skin
Braingartner
Don't forget Train Simulator with its $5,000+ in DLC!
Majesticdogbeard
I'm ashamed of how much money I've spent on that game
TOMMOEX
Disney and skylanders will become more with every new edition and you have to get a new portal everytime. Lego dimensions is much better.
snugglelove
The site OP got the estimate off of for Skylanders is missing the newest one already.
akshually
Sky landers and infinity are largely forwards compatible. All characters will work on the latest game, but not all packs will. Defrayed cost
TOMMOEX
The portals aren't forwards compatible and the figures are only compatible in infinity in toybox mode, Lego is fully compatible.
akshually
I don't have Dimensions, I have SL and DI. The characters all work on current games. It's the extras like power discs and playsets that suck
RedzoneBlitz
I was thinking about putting dimensions in this too but I got too tired. I'll put in the next one if I make it.
SarahWaitForItBelle
Omg I love you and crash. Hungggg.
RedzoneBlitz
Thank you kindly :)
RedzoneBlitz
Not sure if this is getting upvotes cuz if my brother or cuz people actually like it....
shovethis
Content here, and who cares! Have you seen some of the shit on FP? Just awful.
ThymeIsMoney
W-who's your brother?
luminaraunduli
Do moar...
RedzoneBlitz
For sure!
Xzeebrahtickler
It's from me
limongrass
I didn't bother reading it, I just upvoted because you put more effort into this than anything I ever bothered to do.
GeeEm
Also, you should make one for Street Fighter V. It starts $60 but all DLC added later can potentially be earned for free.
GeeEm
Is it really worth it to buy all those fucking mii fighter costumes though?
RedzoneBlitz
I bought like one pack early on and now I just buy the characters and stages
GeeEm
Same here. Also, I realized something, you only included base game + DLC. What about Amiibos? It's technically more content.
RedzoneBlitz
Damn I suppose you do have a point there.
ViveLaEvolution
I found it from your brother, but it's some good content too!
RedzoneBlitz
Thanks!
missnik
DO WORLD OF WARCRAFT
aCrowLeftoftheMurder
Clash of clans- free to $100,000
SupermassiveZebra
Does that have actual DLC though? Only endless amounts of microtransactions right?
RedzoneBlitz
I think I'm going to do a mobile game post in where I research highest amount spent.
LiteralMe
As an ex-Game of war: fire age player, there are people on that game who spend thousands every month. I spent about $600 over 2 years
aCrowLeftoftheMurder
Yep. Play for free but things take days to build, I've seen people though who obviously dropped $100's on it cause they're so unbalanced
hiddenequality
I caught my dad spending over $2000 last year on this. My mom was pissed.
DeathtyOneDeathtyTwoDeathtyThree
Or they've just played for forever
aCrowLeftoftheMurder
You don't have a lvl 11 townhall with lvl 1 gold mines and storage. You can't even hold enough gold to upgrade your th with buying it then.
DeathtyOneDeathtyTwoDeathtyThree
I play boom beach (similar game, also by super cell) and am almost maxed. I started playing about 1 and a half years ago.
aCrowLeftoftheMurder
Yea they just added a new town hall lvl in coc. I've played almost 2 years and am just about a maxed th9. I'm taking it slow though.
RedzoneBlitz
If it reaches 150 I'll do a second one
DoctorWhoandDallasCowboys
Please include Lego Demensions!
AdamBomb321
You have to do a second one now. Also I suggest some EA games
Sakkura
I nominate Star Citizen.
ourdeerl0rd
Do csgo, souvenir dragonlores and black Pearl dopplers are around $8000, and that's only 2 skins
ourdeerl0rd
Also, that's each
franklymydearidontgiveadamnaboutmakingyoursammich
How about doing one because you want to and not for worthless points?
RedzoneBlitz
I hear ya. It's more of if people don't find it interesting why bother. Not so much points
Kosmokat16
well it's at 300 so BAM!
TBE06
Thinking about buying Rocket League today, worth $20?
shmehh36
Oh god yes
PatrickFancyPants
Yes. Then add me!
lithophile
After 350 hours i'm not burnt out at all. Amazing game.
TBE06
Took the plunge and bought it after all the advice. Great game, you were all being honest! Appreciate it!
OneGuy2Cups
Nah just get Skylanders. Go big or go home.
flowseeker
Great game. I'd say totally worth it
TBE06
Cool, thanks. Looks like I'll be grabbing it.
Tenwierdufos
Yes.
CareIDoNot
Really fun game, best used with a controller IMO
FrostyOblivion
Easily, but I got it for free. Thanks PS+! I've paid them only $5 for a DLC and love the game.
SlothWolfen
Fuck yes
onemilliondollars
I got it on a steam sale for 13.99
JohnnyDeformed
YES.
I3anshee
its worth $80
officerbruce
Over 350 hours and I still play it almost every day.
Luxzie
you can buy it on G2A for $12
OohThatGuy
Even Though it's way cheaper I still recommend getting it trough steam just to support the devs.
Howdoilife
Absolutely
donotbeafraid
Only game that's come out that's made me want to get a ps4!!!!!! Currently playing it right now waiting for a game to start!!
donotbeafraid
Also have to add I'm insanely picky and never play video games. So it's that captivating (to me)! First game I've liked since Portal.
ChangedMyName
Absolutely. I have it on PS4 and PC.
Mentok
Oh god yea
SometimesIFartInPublic
YES! My brother's and I have been playing since the first one came out and it never gets old
AmericanArmadillo
Oh definitely. Don't even need DLC. All ascetic
RedzoneBlitz
I'd say so. I've never been addicted to a game so much and all the DLC is cosmetic. They routinely add content via update.
mbangr
1v1 me bro I will literally wreck you swer on me mum

Gud jaun m8
theSungamer
steam name thesungamer let's wreck someone
TBE06
Awesome, thanks!
b0nkatomicpunch
Batmobile dlc coming soon!

Dev actually said cars have stats and made a poll if he should release them
ShinyPenguins
source?
freshwastelandtrash
YES.
valkyrie117
Yes!!!
Pocnoc
I have played 50 hours in the past two weeks someone help me please
surlistyc
almost 600 hours in since release. halp!
hizgrace
Fyi its free on playstation if you have ps plus
B1oodHound
It was a few months ago
RedHotDingDong
No it isn't
hizgrace
Oh... It was. I def got my copy for free in December.
ChangedMyName
It's only free for that month
RedHotDingDong
Yeah it was free for December but it went back up to full price in January
hizgrace
Dag.... Well i tried.
keeblur
It was. Pretty much one of the reasons that it became so popular.
mynameisfatmike
Absolutely! Game is phenomenal and my buddies have been playing ranked like crazy. Get a controller if you're playing on PC though
Howdoilife
My friend plays phenomenally with the keyboard and mouse but I prefer a controller. Experiment with what you like
mynameisfatmike
It's playable with mouse and keyboard, but you'll have a hard time with the finesse and aerial acrobatics without a controller
adtrislife
Totally worth it. If you are getting it on xbox the dlc comes with it expect for the delorean car. Pc you got to pay for it all separately
Howdoilife
FYI to people interested, the Delorean drives differently than the other cars. I'd say it feels slower
Howdoilife
and you can't change any of the cosmetic options other than 1 of the colors
TBE06
Sweet, thanks!
TheGuardianFox
Ton of fun, I got it week before last, and if it weren't for college, Xcom 2, and Fire Emblem Fates I'd probably be playing it daily. :P
