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.

$70 price point for entry, microtransactions for stupid shit, and launches with severe technical issues.

I'm so sick of your shit Capcom.

When a game releases with multiple purchases along side it, it just means you chopped up my full price game and are charging me extra for what I should have already gotten

WWE 2k24 in infuriating like this. If you want the full game on release, it's actually like $150.

Exception to this is actual extras, like the game's soundtrack or access to concept art.

Supposedly a lot if not all of these micro transactions are simply faster unlocks to the content/feature, still though not a good look.

That just means they deliberately made the game tedious with the goal of annoying people into paying

This is what I've pieced together as well. Everything can be fairly easily found and used (or hoarded) in game. However, this in no way excuses the other issues.

That said, I don't blame the devs. Someone light the C-Suite bonfire.
