    This has nothing to do with pre-ordering. I don’t pre-order and I usually can’t afford to get things right when they come out, unless they release on sale. They keep doing this because: 1. Dumb fucks buying it when they already have the og edition because of FOMO on the few things that were added. 2. People that hadn’t bought the game yet so they buy the newer “definitive” edition.

    Most other games that end up with a GOTY edition usually include all the content that was originally dlc, and can be “upgraded” to, usually for less than all of it did originally. And you don’t have to redo achievements.

    The thing with DQ is that there is no dlc. They just add some collectible or a couple of quests to flesh out where a character disappeared to or something. It’s not enough content to even qualify as possible dlc. And there’s no “upgrade” pricing.

    So the only way to “stop this” is to do what I’ve already been doing— not buying it twice. But that doesn’t actually stop them.

    I’m an idiot— even though I know my Roman Numerals, I wrote IX when I meant XI (Echos of an Elusive Age). I don’t know what the “definitive” edition looks like, as I already own the OG and refuse to pay for another copy and have to get all the achievements all over again. The OG looks great to me, and I can’t even use max graphic settings. I can only imagine how good it looks on max. If I’m understanding you correctly, the “definitive” edition looks worse? They can seriously go fuck a cactus. It’s already not worth paying full price twice just to get some tidbits that aren’t even tied to achievements. Japan puts out some amazing games. Classics. Industry changing innovations. But their decisions to do shit like that, as well as how they abandon their games after only a few bug fixes (that still don’t fix many of the major bugs) has all but turned me off of games from the country that’s known for video games.

    Great! Now can we finally get bug fixes and optimization? Maybe some dlc now that Shadow of the Erdtree is well settled? Oh that’s right…Japanese game companies don’t support their games once they’ve decided it’s “released”. (See: Bandai-Namco, Capcom, Konami, et al.)

    Edit: You bitches wanna downvote me for telling the truth? Japan doesn’t fucking support their games after a few patches. Don’t believe me? The boost gauge bug still exists for a lot players. You want others? Go look at reviews for the Mega Man collections and how they are broken. Oh, and there’s the fact that the bug reporting on Bandi-Namco’s on site doesn’t even fucking work.
