Dragon's Dogma 2 Ushers In New Age of $70 Capcom Games

no game is worth $70 its a ripoff . they only charge with what they can get away with.

Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6 were two of the games this year I thought actually would be worth $70, so the fact that they were $60 was nice. It sucks to see it go but I believe Capcom will make it worth.

It's a big budget this gen only RPG. I don't know why anyone thought it wasn't going to be full price?

I’ve paid £70 for more than a few games that didn’t feel Like they were worth the price at all, but I definitely know that the cash I lay down for a Capcom game will be worth every penny for me personally! I definitely don’t mind paying for quality and Capcom have been giving that in huge amounts over the last few years.

But £54 on Steam...

For all the people wanting companies to stop making games for consoles with install bases of over 100 million b/c they only wanted them to make current gen games, well with current gen only games you get current gen only prices.🤷🏻‍♂️

Ill pay it. It costs a lot for years of development. The price had to go up eventually.

You know with how successful Capcom has been Ill pay it. They've been earning my momey left and right since RE7

I don't think people realise how good they have it. Look at store catalogues from the 90's and look at the price of snes games and other console games. I still have a n64 game box with the store sticker on it, $130 Australian dollars new. Another case is seeing Bloody Roar on xbox at EB games for $150 new. When you factor in wage increase over the years, quality (not always) and development time, we are getting a great deal.

£70 for the DE? Yeah sure why not its Dragon Dogma's 2 a game i've been begging for in what seems like forever.

I would be more bothered but since everyone else is doing it plus Capcom has been on fire since the PS4 I don't have a problem supporting them, they deserve it as much if not more than any other publisher

It's a moot point as I'll pick it up a fair bit cheaper online. Everybody knows my stance on £70 games so no need to reiterate but I'll definitely be ordering this for day 1...

Ordered 👍

I notice that $70 sometimes means £70 and sometimes means £60. A bit of a difference.

£54 quid at Hit iirc

@Northern_munkey game collection usually match Hit.

This why physical is important and there's competition. You get lower prices on new games.

For those in the UK it's 'only' £59.99, not £70 on the PS store.

Games were more expensive in the 90s on average people this is actually not that bad 🤔

£60 is absolutely fine by me, especially for something as epic as Dragon's Dogma 2🧡 Hell, I'll buy the £70 version. I'm supporting this game regardless as I'll always be endlessly hungry for more DD.

Is this actually AAA game, or is it an AA game? I can't work it out, but it doesn't seem to be like most other AAA games somehow, no matter how much I want to hype myself up for a medieval inspired action rpg, it's not grabbing my attention and is lacking some of the character, charm and quality that I'd expect :/

I hope I'm wrong, as I want all in this genre and subsection to be good. But it's got that kind of Forspoken meh vibe atm

@Deoxyr1bose If you have monetization I believe you should not ask €70 and OMG did SF6 had massive amounts of monetization so I have to disagree 100% with you on that.

Fighting games, shooter and sports games are so full of monetization they have no reason to ask €70 especially. Because these games start at €70 and then ask double the price in passes and DLC alone and macro transactions.

@Drago201 And more complete also.

@Flaming_Kaiser word that's actually sad

@Ravix "But it's got that kind of Forspoken meh vibe atm" And the worst take award goes to.....

@RedRiot193 you, for disregarding the opinion of a potential new player to the series 😄

I'm hoping it's really, really good, but it feels empty or lacking or lifeless somehow, at the moment, from what I've seen. I'm hoping to be convinced otherwise and will look for more reveals and gameplay with an open mind.

@Ravix Dragons dogma is part of plus premium or whatever it is if you have it. You can try that before this comes out.

Honestly my issue with your comment isn't you being careful or not interested. It's mainly the forspoken comment which is really a terrible comparison.

Best thing I can compare your comment to my personal experience with is dark souls and skyrim. Two games that I wasn't remotely interested in when they came out, and they looked so gray and brown and drab. But when I gave them a shot they became some of my favorite games of all time. I hope if you do get this game it's to your liking.

@RedRiot193 yeah, it's just a feeling. I can't put my finger on why I feel that way, but it's exactly how I felt about Forspoken, which I had actually been hyped for, until they showed more of the combat, world and then that demo. This is why I use that example.

I don't know in this case if it's the art style, or the Voice Acting in the trailers, or just something else not sitting quite right with me just yet. It might be a game that pleases fans of the series, but as someone on the outside looking in, it is maybe missing something indescribable at the moment to draw me in.

@Ravix Might be the colors. But hopefully they release a demo for you to try.

@Beetlebum91 I remember Mortal Kombat 2 being close to a 100€ on SNES back in the nineties... you surely weren't buying a game more often, than every couple of months... ^_^

As much as i enjoyed the original DD game, strange hybrid of fantasy it was - it was never a AAA game. Neither is the new one, AA at best imo.
But As hell yeah i'm looking forward to it 😀

As for the price, i remember extortionate prices with SF2 etc in the 90's. £70 is cheap.

@Ravix we each have our own individual X factor with games. If you don't feel it for a particular game, thats you. Dont get fomo lol.

End of an era but at least one thing Capcom does do consistently is that their games are actually working playable games and not bug ridden messes. So if they keep that up, I’ll be more willing to pay the higher price for their games then other games that charge the same and is busted on day 1

@Drago201 Preach it's sad.

It's okay, I'll just buy it later when it's discounted on psn. Unlike nintendo games, other publishers games usually discounted just a couple of month after it launch, and as added bonus, the games will be better (updated) and maybe have some free dlc 😃

@rjejr I don't care about the price of the game, what people fail to realize is that this is the cheapest gaming has ever been for the quantity and quality we're getting. Anyone complaining about prices today has likely never purchased a $80 NES game or $90 SNES game. Gaming is a luxury, not a right, and the entitlement needs to stop. You either pay for what you perceive to be value, or don't.

As for focusing on current gen gaming and not last gen, that's already been proven to be pro-consumer. Continuing to hold back new hardware for last gen is not how we promote healthy growth in our hobby. It has never had anything to do with the price, it's always been about the quality of games.

@Beetlebum91 people are more entitled these days than ever. You only need to look at the anti-exclusive crowd to see that toxicity. Just because they have one platform they believe they deserve every game ever made. Gaming is a luxury, not a right, but it's cheaper now than it ever has been.

@Terra_Custodes how are the characters and story, usually? I don't mind games that aren't perfect, or extremely polished, and one of my favourite games of all time is Kingdom Come: Deliverence, which is buggy and janky at times, but it is filled with more charm and passion for its subject than maybe any other game I've played, and that and the setting far outweighed any technical hiccups.

I think for me the X Factor is always stuff like charm and character and clear passion from the developers for the subject. As that always shines through, whatever the game, genre or budget.
