What you need to know

  • As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
  • Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
  • In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

For the character thing, as long as you don't care about restarting you can delete your save and force steam to overwrite your cloud save.

The rest is absolute bullshit and I hope Capcom gets shredded for this travesty... I'm the type to give a game a chance, and I will play this, but holy shit the greed is disgustingggg

Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal.

Cool, so if I'm your landlord you have no problem with me charging you $1 every time you use a light switch?

You really are comparing a basic necessity with a game? Talk about a false equivalency geez.

Also, since when is electricity free? This is such a weird comparison.

The availability of the item in-game doesn't matter. If anything it's availability in-game being "not that big of a deal" just showcases further the scumminess of it all being that purchasable item exists only to scam people by tricking them into thinking any modicum of money is worth a one use item.

And even then, if nobody complains about it, then they'll still continue on as they will. They'll do so regardless, of course, but at least you can say that there was pushback of some kind.

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Having a pushback is fair, saying that the game is trash and review bombing the game for it far exceeds what I would consider fair pushback.

The game captures really well the first's feel, it's just an improvement in almost all aspects, which is great! It's a really good game, those unnecessary MTXs giving the game a negative review score is kinda crazy.
