Why are people complaining about the micro-transactions.

[TheUnknown]

I know it sucks that there are micro-transactions in newer single-player games, It's there for you if you choose to buy. Who cares? It's silly and saying the game is p2w is just ridiculous.
I'm sure you can farm the items in the game, If you can't then yeah, That would be very bad.
Did you guys just jump to conclusions when you reviewed the game? It's so stupid that anyone can make a review for any game.
The game is fun, Grind the game if you want the items but buy them if you don't want to grind for them.
I was shocked when I saw the bad reviews, If you can't get those items in the game, It would make total sense to bad review the game but if you can get those items in the game, Why post a bad review about it.
(I read that you can get the crystals but they say they're rare so idk really, I think you can buy them as well with the gold like in the first game)

Oh Ma GaWd! MiCrO-tRaNsAcTiOn'S, I'm GoInG tO aSsUmE iT's PaY tO wIn, Then proceeds to leave a negative review without playing the game.

Microtransactions in singleplayer games are a bad thing for all of us and should NEVER be encouraged, no matter the justification.

You give these companies an inch, they take a mile. Capcom deserves every bit of flak they're getting for this.

That's why

That's all you had to say.

[FauxFurry]

Buying rift crystals allows one to buy in-game cosmetic items faster. That is Pay to Win if your game is Fashion's Dogma.

Herd mentality, and people who actually haven't played the game. ALL the items in their microtransaction store can be earned in-game from just playing the game. Everyone's crying as if Capcom's forcing them to buy the microtransaction items just to play the game lmao.

I would even understand some of the anger if getting the items for free was locked behind hours and hours of playtime... but half of the items are sold by the first vendor in the game and the rest you can get from the main city that you get to within just a couple hours. The mtx are genuinely useless unless you just dont want to play the game you bought

[Nepnep]

It's not about herd mentality or principles.

These people are just entitled/trolling simps.

Fact is. It is a business. Greed is an essential part of it. Whether they break the game by selling extra stuff is the main issue.

Helldivers 2 have "premium currency" with essential equipment and yet no one seems to complain as loudly. This is because some people agree that you can get the premium currency in game.

What about this game? EVERYTHING can be obtained in game, all of which aren't even important items AND there is no anti-cheat so you can even edit your currencies however you wish. Yet the voices of complaints are so darn loud because of so called "principles".

Saying it is "principles" is just pretending to have the high ground. You all have none. At least have the self awareness to say that you are entitled whiners or something

BTW, do you guys know that the explorers camp weighs less than the camp supplies you can get in game?

did you know you can buy it in shops for only 2000 gold and it's not even the best camping kit you can buy? Oh, you don't own the game so you wouldn't know. Stop spreading misinformation you're being fed on twitter

And this is called self-esteem.

May I please have a jester?... just a taste is all i need.. just a smidgen to get me thru ):

Helldivers 2 has microtransactions but the player can get everything (I repeat, everything) during gameplay. Quickly enough if playing the game consistently. That is a multiplayer game. Which is payed full price for. People had concerns but if everything (and I repeat, everything) can be obtained in game then fair enough. It's not a "deal with consequences forever" game.

Dragons Dogma 1 is all about consequences and dealing with it. That's the entire point of the game. That was the whole reason I played it. Over. And over. And over again.

Dragons Dogma 2 is buying wakestones and ♥♥♥♥ consequences. What's the point when people are incentivised to "pay to win"? This doesn't teach people to do better. It only encourages greed and taking the easy way instead of earning it.

Dragons Dogma 2 is falling victim to greed. This is why people lost faith in Halo infinate (can you believe people had to pay for the color blue?) It's why people lost faith in EA (Battlefront 2). If Capcom continues down this path they willl lose their reputation. Loss of reputation will be bad for business. Even from a greedy standpoint it's counter productive.

As long as action is taken sooner instead of later it can be addressed.

Let's compare this to Devil May Cry 5. A different kind of game. Devil May Cry 5 made it work. But here it's not working. Devil May Cry 5 limited it to orbs. Mission to mission. But Dragons Dogma 2 is going "Here, you can buy anything". This in turn will cause people to fall into the "easy traps", which in turn can even risk causing people to be driven into depression (and worse).

Do you want to "earn" results or do you want to take the "easy" road?

That's just half of the problem though. There's the denovo factor as well.

Denovo slows computers game. I have older hardware already. Do you think I can afford to lag more then I'd already do because of denovo?

If a game is good people will buy it. I assure you, if a game is good pirates will buy it.

Sort this out by the time whatever DLC is released. Remove denovo and people will be more likely to buy instead of pirate, as strange as that might sound. Denovo is known to slow computers down. That's why. It's making people want to pirate more if anything. It's counter productive.

A game like Elden Ring didn't have problems like this. They'd limit it to calling the horse torrent (still a day one crack). But because the devs aren't greedy scumbags, because the game is that good then look how well it's doing. With DLC coming too. Which I might buy. Do you see the difference here? Elden Ring is another game with "Deal with consequences" and it makes it work better.

Meanwhile I'm looking at Dragons Dogma 2 and I'm seeing a greedy game that is afraid of losing money. "Fear itself" will be why. Be mindful of that trap. Many a gaming company has ruined their reputation because of greed and fear.

Yet you forget the original game had the exact same microtransactions 12 whole years ago. Curious.

DD1 had them. DDDA removed them from the store and included them in the game itself and also giving you infinite wakestones

So why do we start 12 years later at the same point?

Why do we have to wait for the expansion to DD2 to get the permanent stone?

12 years should mean something in terms of understanding and development

They solved the problem once before, why do they set it up to 'solve' again instead of just making it solved to begin with

Well, it's a single player game. They store the save data on their own servers. You can't decide to make a new game after creating your first character. They want you to pay $2 to change your character's appearance, which you could do for free in the first one. It's just greed, mate.

Missinformed much?

You can still change your appearance for free in the capital.

You can decide to make a new game (New game button is being added) by disabling cloud save and deleting/backing up your save.

They do not store your save on theyr server.. Steam cloud backs your save up.

BS detected, haven't read the rest. Next time use your brain and troll better.

They back up your save data, buddy. Try it. Disable Steam cloud, delete your local save, and Capcom restores it from their own servers.

They do not.

maybe because it was never a problem to begin with? I can guarantee you that less than 5% of the entire playerbase of this game, will dip their toe into this mtx, just like in the original. Almost everyone that played that game on release didn't care about the mtx or the mini side quest dlcs

[Dracula, Redheads Supremacist]

Wow! I'm seeing a lot of corporate sausage eaters in this thread defending and rationalizing the inclusion of micro-transactions in a paid game. After going through the mental gymnastics of the replies in this thread, I have less hope for "gamers" and humanity in general.
