Unreasonable price.

[Athen]

I understand there's work put into the game but $50 USD (higher elsewhere) is crazy for a PS2 game that I brought for $10 on PS3. The $50 price point is too expensive especially for people who never played the game before. Should be 30 AT MOST, maybe like 15-20. It would've been worth every penny. Also where's the second one? A bundle for 1 and 2, $50 would've been cool but JUST the first one? lmfao

[madhatter]

Seconded.
I took a quick look at the price tag and immediately winced.

Yeah seems like SEGA really needs that money lmfao. If thats a sign for any bad news, it also means Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 will be sold separately for $50 a piece too. Oh well, ill wait a couple years for the game(s) to be $10 or less

[lizard81288]

Yeah, I could maybe swallow 40, but even the digital deluxe is like $65. And all it seems to do is get you some extra XP. I'll probably just wait for sale, and by then, I'll forget I have even wanted to play this game.

This is Atlus we're talking about though. Unfortunately there's an abundance of people who will eat up literally anything they release, regardless of price. I'm not gonna bother buying any of their games full price unless they actually release P6

[xBGLx狂犬]

I bought it only because I want to try to translate it from Japanese into Russian and the setting is interesting, never played this before, only persona games. Otherwise, it's probably too much and it's fine that people will wait for sale.

You're complaining that a complete remake is priced at $50?
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne $50
Persona 5 Royal $60
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance $60
Soul Hackers 2 $60
Persona 3 Reload $70
Metaphor: ReFantazio $70

Of those, only 1 is a new game, yet only Nocturne is $50. The $10 game you bought on PSN was just a port of the original, not a complete remake on an entirely new engine., with QoL improvements and features the original game didn't have. $50 for about 40-50 hours of entertainment? ♥♥♥♥, sounds like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal. P3R was one of their best selling games EVRR, and that was at $70, shut up and pray this is even more popular so MORE games get sold at these lower prices, you clown.

[SkaaTerminator]

well if its unreasonable then wait for a sale, simple as that. As for me since i enjoy megaten, im going to buy it because i want to support to get more megaten games since atlus focuses too much on their cash cow and deliberately ignore their other games. So much so that it bleeds into their new games.

Day 1 for me.
The only thing giving me pause is *where*,

With rumours of the Switch 2 coming in June also I might peg this in as my first day 1 console launch title.
Just holding off my purchase for now until that direct

[Demistic]

*Looks back and forth suspiciously at the 'where' comment* What? You mean normal people buy SMT games for only one system? Oops... 🤪

you think buying games at full price leads to SEGA dropping prices on future releases? They went up from 60 to 70 lmfao. how much of a fool you are. Who cares what they priced other games at, still unreasonable for a ps2 game. I'm not stopping anyone from buying but 50 is too much. If you can my check my account, I have Atlus games that I brought day one, including the Take Your Heart Edition of P5. Youre just being a boot licker tbh. why are you trying to argue again?

Unnecessary comment tbh. I love MEGATEN too. I have collector editions of quite a few games of megaten but $50 is too much for a ps2 game. I certainly will wait for a sale as stated above, you don't gotta worry about that.

[cowbell]

Sega already has resource pack DLCs for the paypigs. Why does the remaster cost much more than PS1 remasters?

except it is not a ps2 game, its going to be remade, If you actually looked at the game play, its nowhere even similar to the original. The original had a fixed camera in the combat sequences and in exploration. The remake has a dynamic camera in both combat and in exploration.

You call me a bootlicker, then brag about buying day 1 $120 special editions of games... Right... You're just ass mad. They raised the price of their full releases by $10... then dropped the price for a REMAKE by $20 dollars, you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clown. This isn't a port, it is a full remake of the game. New engine, new features, and there has even been hinted new content. ALL but 2 of those games I listed were remakes, you twit. I've been playing Atlus games since before Persona became fashionable, so you can stuff your special editions up your ass, right next to where you have your head. THEY DROPPED THE PRICE $20 for this remake, this is AFTER their best selling game EVER sold at $70, which was also a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ remake, you stuck up douche bag.

Not to mention the enhanced QoL features from King Abaddon, and the new features they have added to bring the combat up to modern standards. These clowns think that they're just code dumping the game from the PS2, but don't realize that the only thing they kept from the original game was the script, everything else they had to redo onto their new engine... maybe copy and pasting the demon meshes and skins from P3R into this engine, bt that's the same thing they did for the original, plus this looks way better than the original, which I owned and played on the PS2... trust me, the QoL improvements from Abaddon would make this worth the money to me, but with the further improvements and the much large Demon Compendium... I mean 50+ new demons over the original, and a full voiced cast?! Plus, best of all... the origins of Raiho! The only way this gets better is if they release King Abaddon in December.
