Is 69.99 USD too much for this game?

[Burnouts3s3]

I'm hearing complaints that this upcoming game at 69.99 USD is not worth the cost, compared to previous versions of the game Atlus released.

What, in your opinion, would justify this price?

We've reached a time where big games are 70 bucks. I'm willing to accept that with the hope that this'll be worth that. That being said, the DLC is not only overpriced, but it SUCKS. A total of 100 dollars too.

1. P3R is cheaper than P5 on launch. You should check what is the current purchasing power equivalent of $60 in 2017 (The msrp of AAA started being $60 around 2005)
2. Its bigger and better in some regards than P5R

Honestly, the answer can be a variety of reasons why someone would pay or not pay the $70 dollar price tag. Most people can give you a valued opinion. But it all depends on what a person is willing to pay for entertainment vs what they are not willing to pay.

My answer, paying an extra $10 for an Atlus game of P3 remake is totally worth it. I know people are mad that the femc and The Answer are not in it. But I'm looking forward to the game. Each new trailer gets me excited for it more and more.

it's cheap for someone who die-hard Persona 3 Fans

I don't think it's worth it at all. At the very least, from what's been released now, the souls of the p3-p5 team are working on new brands outside of Persona, and they have no intention of modifying the commu more drastically (if you played the original p3, you know that there were characters with terrible plot performance, and that p3p's femc story line reworked the performance of those characters) and it's very likely that you'll be in the mid to late stages of the game and still be unable to do anything but sleep every night. (p3p's femc story line set a lot of characters' commu's to be triggerable at night, which is a big improvement).

The lack of things to do at night was indeed the biggest issue in the male route. So far tho everytime they showed the new social events with male party members, they were always during the evening, so it seems this wont be a problem anymore

Not even persona 5 royal is 70.00 it's 60.00 which is like 10.00 cheaper. Besides it literally has cut content (no the answer but tbh the answer sucks) and no femc and on top of that it's literally just persona 5 graphics

P5R came out in 2019 (4 years ago)
For your reference. A $60 dollar game in 2019 would cost $72.06 today

A lot of people do not understand that inflation effects everything. Before Covid a lot of stuff was cheaper but now after everything that has happened. A lot of stuff has skyrocket in price.

In my job, we are paying contractors two times what we used to pay in 2019. Now I would love for prices to go back down so everyone can get more for their money. But sadly, it is very rare to see prices go back down after a certain amount of time as pass.

With the amount of content this game will have I don't have a problem with it.

New industry standard price, i mean tears of the kingdom costs $70

[Oni]

Tears of the Kingdom was just a copy paste of the first game with like one new mechanic, and then you got Star Field which is just a copy paste of Fallout 4.
So far the only games trying to charge 70$ are ones that really have no business doing so imo.

And people that enjoyed BotW are very likely to also enjoy TotK, the same goes for Fallout 4 and Starfield. And the matter of fact is that both TotK and Starfield are cheaper than the launch price of the games they "copied".
However paying day 1 price for an AAA title on PC is a luxury regardless if it's $60 or $70. If things are that tight, buying luxuries is not optimal especially when we are headed to a global recession

You like the words "copy" and "paste" a lot, dont you
