What the hell is that price?

[Richter Mortisse]

I know Canada is a third world country, but 95 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars? Jesus christ, DD isn't even a triple A ip.

DIdn't you know its Asian.. so that means its ' more to import '.. so anything they make has to be extra expensive... its why I would never pay full price for ANY jprpg.. they jack up the cost of everything... its a joke

No idea what's going on over there in nipponland, but between Disgaea 7's pricing and this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, something's funky. It wasn't always like this, Dragon Quest 11's price for example was pretty bog standard just a few years ago on release, same with a lot of other big name games from the east.

This is already a more niche title, and i took 10 years for a "sequel" you would think capcom would do everything they could to get more people to buy it but instead they price spike it to make less people interested.

who is running the PR team.

"DD isn't a triple A IP" but Capcom is a AAA dev. I'm not justifying it but saying that doesn't make sense.

Also, wtf is the price lmao.

[ZeroDivide]

70$ us, 80$ for a deluxe edition that adds stuff that... other then the music looks like it's mostly acquired in game anyway.

They put a SSS price on what I expect will maybe, MAYBE be just an "A" (not AAA) game, and slapped Denuvo on top.

I struggle to get friends to fork over 5$ to buy Dark Arisen when its on sale, so this is looking pretty nuts.

This thing better release smelling like roses with no bugs, a MASSIVE amount of depth in story and replayability, some solid improvements, fully voiced Main characters, Perhaps something cool like the ability for players to input new Lines of text for their Pawns and have an AI generated voice manage to say them correctly in other peoples games, and most of all NOT BE A PORT OF A CONSOLE GAME to even stand a chance at justifying that price point.

when you factor out regional pricing, some people buying this could have gotten like 15+ new games to keep them happy and entertained for the same price.

Japan has really bad inflation, bad credit and debt. California is not much better which is where a lot of "asian" businesses reside(like playstation). That being said the euro price is not that bad i have seen worse(like FF7 kingdom hearts sequel).

They decided to copy the USA's excessive pricing structure.

It is rather cynical of Capcom to, firstly, tell us it "FEEEEEEELS" like co-op, then, to proceed to price the game in the racketeering range of a WB or EA title. I guess, their analytics have demonstrated that there are enough whale$ out there to compensate for the consumers with integrity and self-respect, and have priced the product accordingly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you expect Super Rich Asians to buy Lambos?

Asia countries prices are fcked up too my guy. They forgot about their own region too.

It's only £53 in the UK while Nintendo is selling games for £60. I guess Bongs were the lucky ones for once.

That's considered lucky? I bought the original game on 360 the year it came out for £10 lol. I wonder how long it'll take the sequel to fall that low. As much as I adore DD it always felt like a niche bargain bin game to me.

I've already dealt in business with some japanese folks and gods they're poor at it. I think it's culture or something, but they set a price and get offended if you try to haggle, I think it's about the price of a product being attached to their self worth or something.

So it doesn't come to me as surprise. Japanese devs will try to prioritize perceived value over making an actual profit.

To be fair to Capcom, they reliably drop the price of even their latest games even a year after release. Village was 50% off by May 2022--a year later after release. Sunbreak--an expansion--is now 40% off.

DMC 5 was put on a reliable discount as well, it's just weird to look at on Steamdb tho. My wallet will weep for Dragons'd Dogma 2 and Resident Evil 4 on 2024 lol.
