"Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal."

About Dragon's dogma 2's character editor system.

They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.

Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.

BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:

" I'm going to be downvoted to hell, but I'm loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn't play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.

Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.

The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else... Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won't. "

I think those downvotes are justified. You should only have to pay for things that give you MORE playtime

I fully agree with your second sentence, you don't have to do it tough, there are avenues in game to do everything. Shortening your play time because you pay is stupid and pointless. The way people demonized the game for something that's optional that degrades the game experience is beyond me. Saying that they designed the slow game thinking of the money store, when the game is following the spirit of the original very well is idiotic.

In any case, you are entitled to your opinion.

As weird as it may sound, I think we're both correct. The game didn't deserve to get dunked on so hard but the choice of MTX was a flashpoint for the collective anger over greedy CEOs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I totally disagree.

Any and all form of MTX that do not expand significantly on the gameplay are satan's piss. The mere fact that they exist mean that the company decided to increase the profits by putting more chum for the pigs (we are the pigs here) instead of working on something significant and bringing more value to the world. In the long run this is what's destroying the industry because it promotes the enshittification mindset in the CEOs

[–] glimse 2 points 1 day ago

That's what I mean about it being a flashpoint. THIS mtx is on the low end of developer greed but the ridiculousness of it is still notable

Dragons Dogma was one of my favorite games growing up. Bought it and beat it several times across several consoles. Currently starting my second playthrough of Dragons Dogma 2, my biggest issue is that if I wanted more Dragons Dogma, I'm going to go play the OG! I want what was promised and sold by Itsuno! :(
