There is ALWAYS one of you guys.

How is this any different from the new Assassin's Creed game? Switch 2 games?

You are probably getting 75+ hrs of game...

Buddy, trust me. Ain't buying that garbage either.

square is expensive.

overall i think you do get your money's worth especially if you are a completionist, but i do agree that it can be annoying to see that 60 euro/other currency price at first glance, i would advice in that case waiting for a good steam key price or maybe the 1 and 2 hd release because they might give a big discount

sadly they don't care about regional price or market situation.
in some region it's cheaper to buy a full price Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 than DQ III during sale

It's the like 5th version of an NES game
I love DQ to death but I'm not buying that full price
Switch 2 prices are be too, idk why you brought them up here but ok sure

So where do you draw the line?

Radiou Remastered ( ATLUS ) is coming out in a few weeks for 50 bucks.

Should people complain & gripe about that too???

A 19 year old game remaster for $50 doesn't compare to a 37 year old game remaster for $60. And if they do, it's not in DQ's favor.

i mean... i would pay 100 euros for a smt 1 remake and thats a 33 years old game XDD

age is not an issue, i would say its more important to see the quality of what they have done, what they added and tweaked, and simply if you already played the original or not.

if you havent, i think this game is very much worth it on a sale or by buying a steam key.

That's why it doesn't compare. These kind of comparisons are stupid, that's my point.

I've always been more of a DQ4 fan than 1-3 but I still do wish to get it. I just wish SE games weren't so crazy priced, at least on Steam. Seems like some better deals elsewhere at the moment and I'm considering it.

Raidou isn't a game that got re released to death
I guess if you never played DQ3 before you could see value in this remaster, but as someone who already have it on 4 different systems and is able to play it since forever, it's not worth it to me
But something being worth it or not is subjective, if you bought and enjoyed it it's fine
That said yeah people can complain about Raidou if they want I guess, nothing wrong with that

[Andrew R]

Have you tried your local library?

I'm not sure where you are located but mine has shelves of PS5, PS4, and Switch games...

What do YOU think would be a fair price for this 70-80 hr game?

With my experience with DQ and the fact that I already own multiple versions of this game, I'm gonna wait for this game to be ~25€
Not saying it's what it's worth objectively, it's what playing DQ3 for the [idk how many honestly]th time with cool graphics and some nice stuff added is to me
For the people that got interested in this game with Smash I'm sure it's fine, but I've been playing those for almost my entire life so, you know, I can wait for a heavy discount

Very level headed.

This game only exists because both Nintendo and SE employ anticonsumer practices like not maintaining their historic catalogs.

No reason DQ3 couldn't have been on PC any of the other times it was redone or touched up. Just more opportunities to milk the same game.

Not to mention the price tag bootlickers. Why advocate for more expensive games for any reason as a consumer?
