Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Will Be The Biggest RPG of 2024

Nameer from eXputer writes "From Pokemon to Crazy Taxi, Like a Dragon looks to have it all."

Charging extra for NG+ is a joke. Don't support this.

andy85109d ago

That's a Sega decision RGG shouldn't be punished for it with the amount of love they've put into this. There's probably 150 hours of content in this I don't see a reason for a NG+ in a massive RPG anyway. Shoddy business practice for sure though and I hope it doesn't hurt the actual people who made the game

isarai109d ago

You're part of the problem, this has been a standard FREE option in every Yakuza game till now. If they want to charge for something, make an expansion worth paying for instead of cutting off a piece of the game and selling it separately, it's greedy low effort trash.

Michiel1989109d ago

so we should just keep silent and throw money at them and over time they'll do even worse? Gamers can at this point only speak with their wallets because the people in charge only care about making as much money as they can.

andy85108d ago

Again it's Sega not RGG. Thing is a tiny majority will be interested in NG+ of a massive RPG so it won't affect sales. What people should be doing is making it known how bad it is all over the appropriate places. That's what happened when they tried it last time and it worked, they changed it.

So I'm not sure I agree here. FF7 Rebirth? I think that will fly off the shelves.

I’m loving it so much. This Hawaii setting was a perfect location. I was running down the beach in the game and it made me think of GTA 6, I mean like it’s nowhere near that caliber, but just that vibe and look.

I strongly recommend this game!

andy85108d ago

It's amazing it's like the 'first' like a dragon on steroids. I'm struggling to rate it under a 10 at the moment. Only 15 hours in though.

CrimsonWing69108d ago

It really is, man! I’m on Ch. 4 and having a hard time putting it down.

MrNinosan108d ago

Love the game as well. Just unlocked Pokemon capturing in Ch4. The game is as brilliant as all the prequels.

Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon Success Proves The Viability of Turn-Based RPGs

Nameer from eXputer: "With Persona and Like a Dragon, SEGA delivers a bold middle finger to the idea that turn-based games are outdated and I couldn't be happier."

Barlos32d ago

I love RPGs and spent 151 hours with Infinite Wealth. Currently playing through Rebirth and Reload, and I have to say I'm far more engaged with Reload because I prefer the turn based combat. I'm not a fan of the real time combat in Rebirth. If the game and story wasn't so good, I likely wouldn't entertain it at all. I much prefer turn based games.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

As someone who prefers turn-based I’ve real-time, I can definitively say I would choose Rebirth’s battle system over everything. It’s the perfect fusion of turn-based and real-time and I get. Rush using it over turn-based. That being said I do like the turn based for Infinite Wealth.

Barlos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I agree, even over 150+ hours I never once found the combat in Infinite Wealth a chore, I loved every minute of it. I can't agree with Rebirth's system though. There's something about it that just doesn't click with me. I prefer pure turn based combat for sure. That's why I also enjoy Persona's combat so much - in particular P5 Royal. With all the Persona fusing options it adds a lot of depth, and you really can create the perfect Persona for you.

shinoff218332d ago

Same thing, nostalgia and story. My biggest issues in rebirth are combat, and not being able to talk to npcs.

VersusDMC32d ago

Persona 3 reload and infinite weath boasts sales of 1 million at launch on multiple platforms.

And Rebirth launched to 2 million which is seen as concerning on one platform.

https://www.pushsquare.com/...

Why is it more viable to make turn based games when they sell half as much?

Theses articles should at least highlight turn based games that sell the same or more than non turn based games to make a coherent argument. Like Pokemon or Honkai Star Rail.

Ironmike32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Rebirth sales are do wn there's multiple articles stating it hasn't sold as well I don't y game is fantastic but it hasn't done was well hope they do 3 as spent a lot time on both remake and rebirth but I like both turn based and live action

raWfodog32d ago

The author acts like turn-based RPGs are a dying genre. Recent successful games such as Octopath Traveler series, Sea of Stars, the Trails series, Honkai Star Rail, and Baldurs Gate 3 (mentioned in the article) would prove that there is still market out there hungry for them. I’m blessed enough to love both turn-based and action rpg games.
