I give up... it won't get discounted never again

[Sanga]

Square-Enix wtf... No way I'm going to buy a 6 years old game por 60€. That's insane. Greedy company.

I think someone need to buy the game on full price so they will notice the game exist again

[Icedfate]

it's almost as if they don't want people to buy their game. . .

Late reply but... I also hate SE's stingy pricing policy but if I really wanted to experience this game I'd just pony up.

[Icedfate]

that's the crux though, is it worth what they are asking?
it's literally the same price as elden ring.
elden ring hardly ever goes on sale and has only been out for a year and a half but that has gone on sale more times than this has.
is this as good as elden ring?


also, same price as baldurs gate 3.
i have a personal rule to never buy a steam game when it's not on sale, mostly because i can't predict the sales and that would enrage me if i paid full price only for it to suddenly go on sale a week later.

if i was gonna break my rule, IF. . .i would break it for Baldur's Gate 3

You're overthinking it: if you're gonna find the entertainment value that is worth the game's asking price then the price is worth and you should go ahead and buy it - otherwise don't, wasting your time whining in the forums isn't going to help as SE is stuck in their own ways and rarely (if ever) listens to player feedback.

FWIW I don't think that any Musou is worth 60 bucks (the genre itself is fine - it's just not worth that much). Hence why I periodically check for any discounts.

ahh yes, the age old trolling technique of accusing anyone who talks of "whinine" or "throwing a tantrum".

are you triggered, bro? you sound triggered.

sometimes japan publishers are really weird when it comes to pricing and sales. especially when Koei Tecmo involved

[Geist]

After finally giving up on waiting for a decent sale I bought it. I feel like it was worth it. It's like buying a Switch game with the way the price never goes down. And I have paid more for way worse.

Still BS that it cost this much after 6 years though.
EDIT: "Limited Edition" content included.

I've had this on my wishlist for years and every time there's a SE or seasonal sale, I look to see if it's discounted, even a bit. Nope, 79.99 CAD every time. Some on SE.

huge winter sale. .and literally everything in the store is on sale. . even baldur's gate 3 is 10% off. . and this is still full price. . $60.
this game is more expensive than baldur's gate 3.

why would i buy this instead of BG3?

I guess this game has just been abandoned. they don't reallt care about selling it or whatever.
i'll be removing it from my wishlist now.

It doesnt really make sense, tho. Sales are even automated

[Icedfate]

i typed "koei tecmo" in the search field and it popped up with 81 games, 61 of which are on sale between 30-75% off. 21 are still full price.

it just seems weird that this game is 6 years old and they still want full AAA new release price for it.

it's also interesting how all the games that are not on sale have "mixed reviews".
like they don't even bother trying to give an incentive.
this sort of thing doesn't give me much faith in a company.

yeah, i guess thats just some special mentality in this company.

[Icedfate]

yeah like, maybe they see mixed reviews and are like "ya know what? ya's don't like it, so ya's can't have it. . unless you pay big".

like they are doing it out of spite. anything that doesn't get glowing reviews gets a price hike and never discount.

edit : but i dunno. dynasty warriors 9 has mostly negative reviews and that game is 50% off. .and newer than this game. that game is only 4 years old and is being massively discounted, but this game is still priced as a new release
