Deluxe edition fraud?

[Rory Mercury]

Lol, are all this items from deluxe like items from prepurchase of LotF? If yes, why they did this?

[Fuhrer]

Because people love throwing their money in the trash, and Capcom enjoys money.

This game meant to be hardcore and they just give you items that you can get from one playthrough... Where is gamedev heading?

What makes you say this game is meant to be hardcore ?
also they are free to sell you anything they want it's up to you to evaluate the value of the items they offer lol i wont buy the deluxe edition because the content does not justify the price in my eyes but other people might think about it differently

I noticed it is second game that gives you nothing. I dont remember any games that gives you something like just loot from the game. Before games gave you at least good looking appearance...

I find the Deluxe Edition myself redudant and useless but if capcom wants to sell something they are within their rights to do so we both are apparently smart enough to not buy this edition since its not giving you or me the value we expect from the money we spent on it so its really a non issue just be like me and buy the standard edition wont miss out on anything

The Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the add-on "A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack".

A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack:
- Explorer's Camping Kit - Camping Gear
- Dragon's Dogma Music & Sound Collection - Custom Sounds
- Harpysnare Smoke Beacons - Harpy Lure Item
- Heartfelt Pendant - A Thoughtful Gift
- Ambivalent Rift Incense - Change Pawn Inclinations
- Makeshift Gaol Key - Escape from gaol!
- Art of Metamorphosis - Character Editor
- Wakestone - Restore the dead to life! (A)
- 1500 Rift Crystals - Points to Spend Beyond the Rift

Definitely not necessary. Outside of the crystals, looks like something that will just assist in the first couple of hours of gameplay?

I could be wrong though. I think the main focus of content like this is just people that are willing to give a little extra to support the game and all that, that entails.

The game is going to be hard.. Itsuno said it is much harder than the first game and some early reviewers had already mentioned dying multiple times to the point of just cutting the video short and wanting to quit. The deluxe edition bonuses are fair, not exclusionary, but also good enough to give a nice power boost for people to have an easier time early game.

I'm pretty sure that "I think these are bad bonuses, that aren't worth the money" doesn't actually constitute Fraud.

(and yeah, they're bad bonuses that aren't really worth the $. Even if it's only $10.)


edit: I've seen a bunch of JRPGs that have had "get some in-game consumables & boosts, sooner" as paid extras. But they're usually DLC, not 'deluxe edition'.)

It was clickbait
