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.

Damn what a shame looked bad ass. Oh well was not going to pick it up until I finished the first one (if I do since I dropped it within a couple hours....)

The first one takes a bit to get into, but once you're on it it's pretty fun and addicting.

If at least to see where the story goes.

Seeing this fuckery from Capcom has given me sight closure and a bit happy that MegaMan is dead

happy that MegaMan is dead

Oh, but it isn't! They keep releasing collections to test the waters. Also, there's a Megaman gacha game! A fucking gacha!

For my part, I'll never forgive them for Megaman X 6 and beyond. The story was clearly written to end with Megaman X 5, then transition into the Zero series of games, but Capcom was too greedy to leave it alone.

Yeah I get it, I would never pay for microtransactions. I'm enjoying the game so far. I used mods to get all 999 of the items they sell so I don't have to be bothered. It runs well enough on my system so imma keep enjoying it. I'll leave a negative review for yall

How disappointing... At one time Capcom was my all time favourite video game developer, I grew up playing the Breath of Fire series and it remains one of my all time favourite video games. Such a shame that they turned into such short-sighted idiots.

I was looking forward to this game and I would have 100% purchased this if it lacked micro-transactions and the Denuvo bloatware/malware. In their attempt to make more money, they at least received less money from me.
