Saw this game on PS5 and was about to get it when I saw all the "packs" and other bull shit. Noped right out.
It sucks that micro transactions exist at all, but I've been playing the game and haven't even opened the store at all, and the game seems pretty good. Is there any actual negativity on the actual game play, or is all the negativity sorry about the micro transactions? Because if that's the only drawback, then that's not really that bad.
A lot of players were having crashing on startup or during character creator, so that could account for some valid criticism. But from those who have it running well (according to two of my buddies so totally anecdotal) the gameplay is pretty great.
I had heard PC was having some issues with that, but to be honest, that's nearly every release these days. But I can understand why it might be frustrating.
I like RPG games, however I don't like it when the company has the ability and incentive to bate and switch my game into a worse version after I bought it.
Denuvo forces me to be connected to the internet, which makes playing the game on the move difficult or even impossible. It also allows them to make sure that the most current version is played. MTX means they don't have incentives to fix the game and instead sell you the fixes, or even enshittyfy it, to squeeze out more money.
This gives me the incentive to wait a couple of years, until the game doesn't receive any updates anymore, and then decide if the final product is worth it. And hope that I will get a good experience out of it, before the Denuvo activation servers are shut down.
So you have to wait for a few years, in order to know if the gameplay is (and stays) any good.

I've got 15 hours in it and have played all weekend.
There are some performance issues, but overall, I've had a blast playing it.
All of the game content is accessible for the sticker price you paid, so yeah, I couldn't care less about the microtransaction aspect of things.
