Dragon’s Dogma 2 modders are finding ways around the otherwise acclaimed RPG's controversial microtransactions
Man, I miss Rock Paper Shotgun's quality.
The game made gameplay-affecting design decisions around these micro-transactions.
And they knew what they were doing was wrong because they didn't put them in the review copies. Plus the character creator had 5 character slots, to the game's one. Something that drives up the value of both the currency and the item that can be bought for real money.
They intentionally misled everyone prior to release to fluff up their review scores and hype.
It's just gross all around.
I preordered the game, because I really enjoyed the first game. Basically unplayable, and the micro transactions were a slap in the face.
Refunded it, and instead I’ll just sail the seas for the game whenever it makes a splash there. Can’t see myself buying another Capcom game again.
If it's not an Indy developer and publisher, it's not a videogame but a graphical gambling site disguised as a game.
The more A's a company claims, the less credible they are.
Unplayable? I watched my brother stream a lot of it the last few days. How is that possible if it’s unplayable?
Name one, because I beat the whole ass game without even feeling the need to buy any of that easily acquirable in-game for no money stuff. Most of the stuff is for sale at the pawn guild, including the character redesigner. I got enough port crystals to basically cover everywhere I'd want to go regularly. I spent probably 500 RC over a playthrough that got over 10k.
If you don't pay extra money for the special camping kit you can carry fewer items at all times due to weight.
I didn't say you can't deal with them making these negatively impacting gameplay decisions.
Just that they are gross.
Um... The RC dlc actively makes the game worse if nothing else (due to simplifying the economy with more rc than you'll ever need) but the others aren't really anything you can even notice in game.
So someone who paid money for stuff got very poor value for their money? Why even have it at all?
