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

    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.
