kiryu-slam One of my favorite game series gets enshittified.

It makes it all the more baffling, then, that Sega's upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is locking its New Game+ mode behind its Deluxe and Ultimate editions, which cost an extra $15 and $40 on top of the base game respectively. This is a series which, traditionally, has had its own features locked behind a NG+ run such as the legendary difficulty mode.

Specifically, NG+ is being folded into the 'Master Vacation Bundle' which isn't included with the game's base version. According to the game's official website the bundle also includes a bonus dungeon, special sujimon (from a Pokémon-like mode), resort guests, outfits "and more."

I remember seriously considering buying that game at launch and feel completely vindicated in not doing that

Always better to wait for the megasale or straw-hat-pirates

This isn't super surprising IMO, look at how ridiculous the DLC prices were in 7. Also lol at the description of "sujimon", aren't they just the enemies?

I 99% Yakuza 0 and suddenly had no desire to ever play a single Yakuza game again because if all takes place around the same city lol. I guess I got off lucky

0 was my favorite until 7. If you don’t like JRPG mechanics you’ve already experienced the best the series can offer.
