seriously! price this game reasonably!
30$ for an upscaled version of a special edition of a PS2 is reasonable enough (P4G)
80$ for a brand new release that is simultaneously being released on PS5 and Switch is really not appealing (P5S)
60$ for a 1:1 port of an xbox 360 that can be put on PC with a few hours in 1 day that could be done years ago, hard pass! (P4Au)

get your head out of your wallet and price reasonably! you can get 3 sales of 30$ or you can get 1 sale of 60$ it's not hard to think this through!!
more pricey = more money
less price = more sales = more reviews = more money

"not appealing" not outrageous like a 1:1 port of a game console users had for years that I found for 10 buck on a bargain bin for old games
JP's companies always overprice their game

P4G was 20 USD when it released. I'm assuming you're somewhere in Europe?

It was US$20, US$60, and US$30, respectively, for P4G, P5S, and P4AU, so I don't know what price you are quoting there.

Anyway, it's very likely to be US$60, since that's the price on Xbox and Switch store. For the Steam regional pricing, you can refer to the price of SH2 and P5S on Steam. I assume there won't be much difference, as both games are US$60.

Game's free on Microsoft Store, and it's not for sale on Steam :) Pricing doesn't get any better than that.

People do keep on forgetting that we're getting 40+ DLC for free with the game, whereas the failstation owners had to pay for them.

That's some fantastic logic there, except you're getting all the DLC for free with the game and $60 USD is pretty reasonable for a game you're going to spend 60hrs+ with.

Ironically enough it's the Deluxe edition that seems to go on sale on the PSN all the time compared to the standard. Got mine at 65~70% off I think.

But yeah, the answer to this thread is Gamepass. It really is the best deal in gaming these days.

The people who make these decisions are marketing and financing majors who act on datasets. There's nothing you can tell them that's going to make them change course. They have computers and graphs to tell them how games should be priced. They will act on the data.

Also, I significantly doubt that Japanese executives of multi-billion dollar corporations spend their Saturdays looking for financial advice on American Steam forums. That's just a guess, though.

Thank you for saying it

if one people complain and everyone tell me to deal with it, they won't
but if enough people raise a stink about it instead of kiss their @$$ then they really won't care

If it's above 40€, i'll scan key reseller sites for cheaper alternatives. Just a guess, but it's Sega and Atlus we talk about here. The game will be full price. And it will sell nonetheless.

It should be 50-60 euro based on microsoft store price. That said, its also part of gamepass.

59.95 USD is perfectly reasonable
