[RobbiePTSD]

and i want the pre order bonus cause i find the booster packs to be a massive help with the grindy aspect of these games

use a cheat lol imagine paying for level ups

If you are willing to pay for it, it's not overpriced for you.

[lancer]

Yep, the price is kinda cocky. I doubt Sega invested this much in the title. It will be the same reusing of assets like in every yakuza game before.

Australia.

The game is much cheaper in China or Japan. We're just getting screwed.

In Asian countries in general.

Let me tell you, some regions also have to buy it relying on scalpers and those are jacking up the prices, too. I'm talking about such places as Russia, Argentina, Turkey, etc., we are not allowed to buy Infinite Wealth on Steam cause you know, inflation and all that.

For instance, I earn $325 monthly, I get a $10-15 bonus if I'm lucky enough. The lowest price I saw was around $125 (that's West Siberia for you). Some of them scalpers even go out of their way to charge you for $160. It's ridiculous.

So yeah, SEGA being greedy is upsetting, to say the least. By setting their prices so high they also encourage scummy third-parties to rip you off.

I don't mind working a few extra months but I feel sorry for those who can't wait to play it.

Bro when I saw the pricing for all the editions of the game I almost end myself. :-(

[Dawnstar]

Just play it on Game Pass... You can still get 1 month for $1...

Honestly... I don't get why so many people are crying about the price... I mean.. don't get me wrong.. not saying it's cheap or something...I live in germany, so the Ultimate costs 100€. First of all... noone forces anyone to get the ultimate. Secondly I think.. if you compare Prices... you should also compare hours you potentially put into that game. Like for example... Resident Evil 3 Remake costs about 40€ atm... but it only gave me about 7 hours of gameplay experience... And even if you don't do all the minigames and just do the sidequests and mainstory in LAD8 I'm absolutely sure, that the Gametime will be way more than double the time RE3R took me. In the end I guess that even the Ultimate gives me more hours per € than most of those recent AAA Games do...

I agree with you completely. The only thing I would deviate from is the cost per hours value ratio, because minus the substories, these games have a silly amount of content that is just plain silly. Its typically nothing more then trophy hunters to go after type content, so the proposition of actual "Good" content or "Substantial" content for price is average at best in my opinion, as the main story and I will include the mainline substories can typically take 20 - 30 hours. Its the silly fluff that puffs up the hours in the Yakuza series. I dont care about other games and what they do since this is a discussion on Yakuza and not a specific comparison to other games.

Despite the mini novel I wrote above though, I absolute do not believe the game should be less money though as this is where games are trending to nowadays.

You got somewhat of a point. But in my opinion You can safely count the Sidequests and even minigames in. I mean.. I was talking abouit the potential time :D and hey.. Yakuza 5 took me about 90 hours on first run and I did near to no minigames at all. mainly just Sidequests, those charakter Jobmissions and stuff. I'm not talking about 100% runs at all, just first playthrough. And in my opinion the Yakuza/like a Dragon Series really does a good job at the Time per Money thing.
There's no other Storygame Series coming to my mine with a better Time per hour rating..
There may be some but atm I can't think of any :)

I didnt add in the mini games to be honest since I dont see value in them, i.e. random fishing, picking up locker keys, etc but thats why I said from my point of view. I actually played the go cart and trash collecting game in Ichiban's story, those were actually pretty damn good.

[Deathraven13]

I mean you pre-ordered it so the more people buy it the more they'll think it's ok.

It's like complaining on X then buy the product.
