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.

Fuck, really? I mean, I'm not like a die-hard fan of the game(s) or anything, but the first one is still pretty enjoyable. And it's $5 on steam.

And it's a totally complete game, with an in-game barber/character customizer. You can't change your character's body type though, only the hair and skin colors/styles.

You can buy the MTX items InGame at the vendors. Still shitty to have the MTX but yea...

If you can do it with in-game earnable currency that's a bit different.

Tbh I haven't heard that that's the case, but I also haven't gone looking.

They already said you could, but at least in the first one it was an end game/post game item to edit your character. You can check the news tab for the game on steam.

totally complete

Nah m8, they had circumstances that forced them to release it before they wanted to. There is a bunch of cut content and other not fully realized features. People just don't notice them much because the game is phenomenal as is.

I mean literally every video game has some cut content somewhere. Whether it still feels complete afterward is a different story.
