that sounds great
looks like Giant Bomb has a long quick look for it, I'll check that out later today
for those that want to see it
I can see the 25€ price... That would be a bit much to me, between Furi and celeste, my poor january wallet don't like this...
Edit : damn it looks great though...

I also think i need to find a better way to separate my discussion about general overall feelings on things, which is what I thought you were referring too, that people in general want more, and I need to make sure I don't sound like I am poking the person who brought it up.
Right and in four months I'd expect this version to be on sale too. And not need PS+ to get that price.
Yes. $12 in a sale, for a game that launched in 2016 on PS4. People comparing launch prices of new releases on Switch to lowest sale prices of years old games on other platforms is one of the most baffling things I've seen.
I mean, Crimson Edition (base game + Crimson DLC) is $30 on PSN without the sale - vs $35 on Switch, so there is that. I'm not accusing developers of anything, in fact I believe it's much wiser to have bigger starting price that you could gradually reduce with sales and discounts.
But there is nothing surprising or baffling about people comparing prices between competing platforms or arguing that current price point is too much for double- or triple-dipping.
Hmm, it's $25 digital right? I think with DLC I would have been tempted, but I don't think I can justify ~$40 for all of it considering the other platforms. I do want it eventually on my Switch though.
As someone who was super eager to try out Darkest Dungeon for the first time on Switch, I'm fine with the price point, but the DLC not being included in the base game will probably make me wait for a sale. I was pretty miffed when Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 pulled a similar stunt.
If people own multiple platforms they have the right to be picky when it comes to game prices, no? Especially if a person is going to double dip. If a game is frequently on sale on certain platforms I don't think it's baffling at all that people have a bit of sticker shock when they see that same game at higher prices (relative to sales) on another platform. For me, the reason I won't be double dipping is because the DLC is still being sold separately on a year+ old port. Maybe I've been spoiled but usually when this happens the DLC is included.

"Dakest Dungeon on Switch has sold twice the amount of all other platforms combined"

I think the platform, iOS, kinda sets the price point in a way. Only Square Enix can get away with their overpriced versions(in comparison to other games). When you take into account that the most popular games on iOS are FREE. Devs are kinda hamstrung on what they can charge for a complete game. They either "overprice" for the market and get less sales, or go with the average price point and try to make their money. The app store set the tone for mobile purchases and most people aren't willing to spend over a certain amount because of that. Unfortunately for traditional game devs the price point is between free and like $10 tops.
Honestly, if the base game is 25€, it is a bit too much compared to Sony machines' version. But, due to the quality of the game (and its length), for a first timer, it's cheap. I will wait for the rumored physical version but it's a really good addition to the Switch's catalogue.
Hmmm, there is a "Radiant Mode", which is kind of an "Easy mode" equivalent.
Ok. I've been holding off on this for awhile, waiting for the switch version.
I've never played this game but heard so So SOOO much about it.
Now that the dust has settled, and patches have been deployed, can anyone detail the two DLC's and the vanilla package?
Do the DLC's break the early game or anything?
I'd like to buy everything to get access to everything, but I want an expert opinion before dropping 40 bucks for an indie game.
Thanks.
