arcanehornet_ Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So as it turns out, they released a brand new paid dlc for Yakuza 7 which is...a feature that was present in every other Yakuza game for free. What are your thoughts? Personally I find it pretty greedy to include a simple feature like this as DLC.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryu ga gotoku has always been at the pinnacle of great practices for yakuza games even compared to cd projekt red, this move is more like sega doing it's corporate bullshit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb5f Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) The consumer is just as much to blame as the company. Too many numb nuts have zero self-control and can’t help but buy whatever crappy micro-transaction for the latest in-game cosmetic. Enjoy the game and avoid the micro-transactions. Avoiding the game altogether just means they are even more reliant on micro-transactions to turn a profit.

Redgrave Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 It is pretty bullshit to ask money for NG+ that should just be a basic feature already included in the game. Yeah there's trophies associated with it but other games like Spider-Man and Horizion: Zero Dawn have included it for free with a patch along with the trophies. It's like Konami charging money for extra save slots in Metal Gear Survive, completely unnecessary. 17 minutes ago, sepheroithisgod said: Is it just NG+?

For now it's only $0.60 but in May they will charge around $9 for it. http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/03/yakuza_like_a_dragon_charges_just_usd0_60_for_new_gameplus_but_rises_to_nearly_usd9_in_may 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTom95 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Almost every Triple A publisher did something really bad in the past to have a reason to boycott their games but for me it's rather frustrating seeing that sega is now jumping on that train as well. All of it was indeed for free in previous games and is definitely cutted out from the original release and charging 9$ for it isnt even close to a reasonable price. I will probably buy the game and maybe the dlc is included in the western but it definitely has some sour taste and I hope the dlc sales are bad enough to make them stop but I doubt it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need for Speed Payback 6 of 58 Trophies 22nd March 2020 Need for Speed 6 of 46 Trophies 2nd February 2020 Need for Speed: Rivals 1 of 26 Trophies 1st February 2020 That is going to show them! What did Ubisoft do to you? You can always grab a Gold-Edition from a sale. And they are really customer friendly. For example, their PS3 Assassins Creed servers are still up. Sure, but EVERY company is doing something wrong. I bet even the holy saints Rockstar (GTA:O anyone? No? Okay...) or CD Projekt fucked something up... But, eh, do you not think it would be quite... limiting yourself when you avoid companies? For example... I have a friend who is only playing western blockbusters. Everything else is too childish or too ugly for him. He is like you also someone who keeps telling himself that he is an adult... <shrugs> He keeps telling me that gaming became boring these days and is never in gaming mood. But he also does not want to leave his bubble... We suggested him to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake, because it is a blockbuster, looks good, blah blah... We have been sure he would like it. Aaaaaaand... he said No. Because it is Japanese. I have no idea how a European can get americanized (No offence...) to such an extend that he is hating things just because they are Japanese... but, eh... whatever. You may ask why I told you that? Well, look, you are sitting here hating (or whatever other word you would like to use instead) on companies because they offer - oh my god... - DLCs! You will reach at some point in the future also a point where everything is boring for you and you will have no mood, because you do not realize that you are working on making the bubble you life in smaller and smaller, instead of making it bigger. I mean... I for example could technically learn Japanese. Have you ever seen what is going on in the Japanese PSN store? Its a weebs wet dream. And, sure, I am also not the biggest EA fan... But I like Sims and liked NFS before Payback happened. Lets say I at least like one game from them. Why should I boycott them, when they have a game I like? Can you explain that? ...Well, my whole post was offtopic... Sorry about that... =/ But in general I am okay with DLCs. Just need to wait for a sale. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is seriously about $0.63 right now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it will be the same when the game launches worldwide.. If so, I'll probably pick it up right away for whenever I get the game. 63 cents sounds a lot better than almost $9. And the trophies make it sound like it may have more content than just a simple New Game+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KingTom95 Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 I don't think it's about money. You basically have to pay for a higher difficulty which is usually a free patch for most games and on top of that something like NG+ was always included before as said numerous times. So I can understand why people even care about 0,63 what I also don't like is the fact that people who doesn't own the game yet are practically forced to buy the dlc now cause it's so much cheaper atm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I buy used games? Dude, I frequently post pictures of my purchases here. The last money EA saw from me was in 2008 when I purchased FIFA09. Yes, I do have principles. One of them is to not support asshole companies like EA or the other usual suspects. Just because YOU obviously forgot about the concept of buying games used doesn't mean I did as well. I prefer private property over convenience. Oh, and you can add Konami to the list as well. A company that charges for an extra save slot deserves immediate bankruptcy.

You Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I wonder if Japanese companies are embracing DLC trophies as a marketingstrategy. After about 70 releases of various Warriors games, for the first time ever Koei Tecmo put a DLC pack in Warriors Orochi 4, and now the same thing with Sega and the Yakuza games, a DLC pack.
