I could be wrong but I think SE has an history of never going for discount bigger than 50% on steam. :/

was going to mention, yeah there's the "square tax" on top. sucks for us but it guarantees anybody who wants this will eventually pay no less than $30-40 for it over the next five or so years
i remember waiting forever for the FF3 remake to drop under $10 but when it finally did i didn't care anymore
They do however gradually reduce the base price of games until even the 50% is pretty affordable.
In other words can't wait to play this 3 years from now when it gets a real fucking price.
I laughed when I saw the price. That's going to be a tough sell.
Difference is PC players probably won't accept it and the game will sell badly.
Nintendo fans also dont accept it. Late ports also bomb on the switch
It doesn't deserve the price for being old, but it is better than most AAA games.
It is totally a $60 game at launch.

The same game runs on Switch "garbage" hardware. There is no way the game is that demanding that the recommended for 1080p is a hardware "on par" with Xbox One X hardware .
I can't believe Square-tax is a thing. If it were late 90's Squaresoft it would be justified but Square Enix in 2019? Lmao.
Per their internals they can still "get away" with it fine probably. still pretty top shelf branding
I mean the PC version price is on par with eShop (62.5 USD). I'm guessing this is higher than standard PC game prices there?
No it is not on par with the Eshop in Canada.
If it makes you feel any better, the Switch version runs at 720p/30fps docked. The game is demanding despite its artstyle.
Actually, Metal Gear Rising was 13€ if you preordered IIRC. And I mean directly through Steam,
60€ is ridiculous price for a late port. I'll buy it if some key site manages to drop it down to 30€ or so but otherwise, yeah, good luck SE!
No it is not on par with the Eshop in Canada.
I mean, its not identical but on par, as in similarly priced.
I beat all paths and have like 60 hours played. As much I enjoyed this game this is stupid on SE's part. It's not a $60 game on PC and the use denuvo is a bigger slap to the face of pc gamers. The game was built for portability in mind. Repetitive bite sized acts so you can get a solid old school Jrpg experience on the go
Glad to see backlash against Denuvo here. I felt like I was the only person banging the drum during the PC release of Monster Hunter World (my most anticipated game in years, still haven't played it). Not fucking with any game that tries to push Denuvo on me. These Japanese publishers don't even remove it after the game is cracked, or released for a while either. I think it's some thing they do to appease shareholders. Drives me up a god damned wall personally
I really hated the fact that the other party members disappear when you start or continue a character story. I understand it would take more time developing the product since the game has to take into consideration who is in your party, but they could have done it. It disconnected me, and made me lose my immersion. Even to these days, I haven't even recruited all the characters or progressed too much because of that.
That alone would make the game more enjoyable, and made people replay the game more. Each party member would add unique dialogues to a character story and flesh them more.
Monster Hunter came out late on PC and still sold well. It's not unheard of
Presumably they have all sorts of metrics about the titles they have released at various price points, and have priced this according to that data.
Right?
Right?
S. E. are probably thinking of pricing it high and then regularly have sales. The one in charge forgotten that Steam is full of games.
This is a hot take and my opinion only but I think some companies take advantage on Switch's users pricing games whatever, a lot of them just buy the games because they want to play on the system. I don't think the production of this game speaks full $60 dollar price at any point in history.
I mean, Capcom sold SF HD at $40, a price that would have been considered an insult in any other system and yet I belive lots of people bought it.

I have that game on the switch and even back then when it released I always felt the game wasn't worth that price. It's a bunch of short mini stories and the worlds all look the same, as in map layout.
I have no problem paying $60 for a game that is worth it.
What I played of the Switch release says it is not worth $60.

$84 what the fuck? How is this more than every single AAA game out there?
