Y'all hyped about dropping $80 on this?

EDIT: and it's a keycard, of course

Old games that look and run like ass for double the price.

 

[LordCBH]

LMAO $80 for the worst version of the game. They're outta their goddamn minds.

Day 1

 

[Saber]

I dunno if its actually confirmed or not, but I think this version will be available for other consoles later.

I believe FromSoft said the "Tarnished Edition" content will drop as paid DLC for the existing platforms.

 

[Labadal]

My immediate, unfiltered reaction? Get fucked.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Very disappointed by this. For that price the game should be fully included on the cartridge or it should be the day 1 edition that was released on Playstation, that came with a poster, art cards and a nice box. Not a standard fucking game case. Bandai Namco is disgusting cheapskates.

 

[uncreativename]

tbf that includes the dlc, so it's like 15USD cheaper than if you were to buy it all right now on Steam

e: nevermind. Currencies are confusing

 

[Fermbiz]

80 dollar keycard.... holy fuck

 

[GoldenEye98]

and the release date?..

 

[Saber]

Seems like people will have to wait waaaaaaaaaaay more than they actually announced. December 31 is the release date stated on Amazon, basically 2027( would be good if OP put this info).

 

[Gambit2483]

Has to be a placeholder...right?

 

[BennyBlanco]

$80 GKC is insane

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I'd buy it on a cart. Hrmph.

 

[kevboard]

I would have said it's fine with the DLC... but as a key card? FUUUUCK NO

 

[bender]

$80 GKC is insane

Elden Ring + Shadow of the Erdtree is $79.99 on every platform so the price really isn't surprising and neither is it being a GKC, sadly.

 

[Nocty]

this is some bullshit right here

fucking nintendo man

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

FINALLY!

Much like Mc Donalds...IM LOVIN IT (and getting multiple copies to not open even though they are just codes).

The game key cards are just "okay" for me. They are digital game purchases you can re-sell but I still have to put the cartridge IN the console...and I cannot be bothered but you DO get a case for your digital game!

 

[TrebleShot]

lol no.
fucking idiots
the ones who pay more for less

 

[uncreativename]

Oh yeah, I forgot to look at the price of the bundle on Steam. Oops.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Calling it tarnished edition is more fitting that I would have thought.

 

[FoxMcChief]

this is some bullshit right here

fucking nintendo man

Nintendo didn't set the price, or make the dev make it a GKC.

 

[Senua]

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

fucking nintendo man

Nintendo isn't setting that price.

 

[Nocty]

Nintendo isn't setting that price.

ah I stand corrected. Still, this some bullshit.

 

[Fake]

A $80 key card 4 years old game.

 

[Haint]

Lowest price Base + Erdtree has EVER been, even on PC, even on third party keystores, even at all time low sales--is $65. This game has been price controlled like a Nintendo 1st party.

 

[Puscifer]

The Switch 2 made me happy I unemployed at the time. My buyers remorse would be unimaginable RN

Sure would love Sekiro under 35 dollars lol. That game is the Black Ops 1 of price control, I feel like it took almost 10 years to finally see it under 20 dollars even though games after it were dropping into 10ish range.

A $80 key card 4 years old game.

BUT ITS PORTABLE (even if I'm playing I at home ya know?)

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I haven't made it known but I got a Switch 2 not even 2 days ago. This is an absolute rip off.

 

[xenosys]

Fromsoft can fuck off.

80 bucks for a GKC port that's 4 years old with DLC that's 2 years old is stupid.

Came in to say that exact same thing

 

[Gambit2483]

Damn, forgot about the DLC...these greedy mofos couldn't even give a slight discount for being a 3 year old game?

Can't see sales being healthy at this price point.

 

[jshackles]

I'm okay with the system getting late ports - Final Fantasy VII Remake is a fantastic example and was price right ($40). I bought it for $25 on sale which is my personal "I'm okay with spending that on a key card" level of discount. $80 is a tall ask for this. $60 would have been pushing it.

 

[RoboFu]

Bought for the 4th time!

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'll triple dip when it's under $40.

 

[Pataponpon]

Same price as in PS5/Steam then, as expected

 

[Saber]

Elden Ring + Shadow of the Erdtree is $79.99 on every platform so the price really isn't surprising and neither is it being a GKC, sadly.

Its ok I guess, but when you consider its already an old game and its totally not gonna run like modern consoles I think the price looks less justified.

Bamco isn't going to undercut the rest of their market.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Only absolute fucking Nintendo tools would buy this.

[Mr Hyde]

I wonder how extensive the new DLC content is. All I know is two more starting classes, new armor sets (Lucatiel from DS2, among others) and extra skins for Torrent. I hope they at least are doing something Nintendo exclusive, like a Ganondorf skin or the Master Sword as a new weapon. That would be awesome.

oh? is there new content incoming with this new release? I wasnt aware

I doubt that. Because there still needs to be cross play, I think.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Yes, they are dropping new stuff with this edition. It's paid DLC and will release on other platforms as well.

Yeah they're certainly leaving money on the table trying to price control Sekiro at this point, game is older than dirt.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I wasn't aware it's cross play. That's a good thing, because I think player base on Switch 2 is gonna be small initially.
