  • Dragons Dogma 2 launched yesterday, and most of the conversation around the game is not on the story to say the least... these microtransactions and performance issues are inexcusable.

Hogwarts legacy had denuvo and was cracked in two weeks. And since the pirated copies don't have denuvo, they end up running better than legal copies.

    What gets me the most is that the devs talked about the lack of fast travel systems in the game and how it was detrimental to the game. Yet here they sell fast travel crystals and such i the game. Not only is that hypocritical, but it makes you wonder how much of the game was developed around these microtransactions. And you can't trust publishers and developers to make good decisions that have the consumers best interest in mind. They have their profits and margins in mind.

      But the devs were 100% correct, and it’s clear to anyone that has actually played it that they designed the game with that philosophy in mind. I completely agree that the microtransactions are pointless and greedy, but they’re Capcom’s fault and ultimately don’t affect the experience whatsoever.

      I've heard that the main guy in the dev team who is the founder of Dragon's Dogma actually had a battle against the publishers about putting MTX in the game. But he had no choice but to do so, and he only made it to the point that the MTX are totally optional because there's no reason to purchase them at all. So that was pretty based for him to do that and actually siding with us gamers. If the game ever goes on sale, i'll give it a benefit of a doubt and play it.

The moment you get to the second area the game just throws away previous characters and stories and just rushes you to the end.

  • @VladiatorX

    Almost all the MTX on store are part of the Deluxe edition bonuses, just sold separately.
    Except of the portal marker, which is unnecessary as you can use maximum of 10 which all of them are in the game.
    MTX in this game are a "one time" purchase. That's why some are labeled as A B C... Also they are one time use. Also there are enough in the game to have the max amount.
    Only maximum of 10 port markers can be used, which means the "spare" one bought as MTX is useless if you find 10 in the game. Basically it is for impatient players.
    Even the camping tent is not the lightest in the game(there is an "Elite Camping Kit" which is 4KG).
    No you can't pay to start a new game...
    Moreover some or most people are not defending MTX/poor performance, they respond to misinformation as a result of fallcy(bad/logically wrong conclusions).
    So it doesn't mean the those people buy MTX or think that MTX is fine in a single player game... that's also an example of fallacy.
    The best solution is to not buy it. it doesn't matter how much noise people make, if there are enough people that buy MTX. Money > principles. Facts don't care about feelings and vise versa.

  • @Phirestar
    @Phirestar 2 місяці тому +3

    This whole attitude of, “Well you don’t _have_ to pay for the microtransactions.”, is the exact kind of attitude that publishers directly benefit from.
    The reason we see all these greedy practices in modern video games is because of tolerance. People _tolerate_ having microtransactions in full priced games. They purchase the game, and they choose to play it in spite of these nickle-and-dime tactics existing within the game, with the game’s store.
    What many seem to fail to understand is that _this_ is the cause of the normalization of greed in gaming. They think that just because they’re not overtly supporting a business strategy means they’re not contributing to its normalization, but that’s wrong. By supporting the platform upon which these monetization schemes, you are giving them an environment in which to thrive. And there will be others who come along, see the game being hyped up and talked about by other people, and buy into it themselves. And some of those people will be the type to support the microtransactions.
    You have to remember that most of these microtransaction offers are a zero-sum gain for the publisher. It costs them almost nothing to create, and thus even if few people pay for them it will ultimately, _always_ be a profit for them.
    They lose nothing by leaving them in the game. It is only when people choose to not support the game itself, when they don’t hand over the $60 or $70 that make up the costs for producing the game, that a publisher will react accordingly. You can’t hurt microtransactions directly, you have to do it through a secondary source, the thing which gives life to and sustains them.
    But people won’t do that. They will continue to buy games regardless of whatever scummy business practices they partake in, and they’ll choose to enjoy the game without them. It’s happened with many other games in the past, and it’ll most likely be the case with this game, too.
    This is why it’s so easy for other studios to fall into the allure of implementing microtransactions: because history shows that they can get away with it. The same thing applies to other issues people have with modern video games like broken launches. People get outraged over something like Cyberpunk releasing in an unplayable state, but what happens after that? They choose to wait for patches to come and for the game to get fixed, and they buy and play it anyway. It’s the same thing as before, where most customers choose to ignore the problems rather than respond to them.
    And this kind of stuff will keep happening, until this kind of attitude dies off and the gaming community takes an _actual_ stance against it.

  • @alejandronoda8310

    If there is a compliment I can give to this game is that it made me want to replay Elden ring a modern game that at release ran smoothly for the most part, had no denuvo and didn’t squeeze you for pointless stuff. Yes the game had some bugs and performance issues at release plus the last third of the game is very unbalanced but the same can be said about baldurs gate 3 at release, or even dark souls 1. I am not trying to excuse these shortcomings, I always want companies to do better, but it goes to show how important first impressions are in gaming. My first impression when I see DD2 is that this game is an incomplete mess that is not worth 70 dollars, while my impression day 1 of Elden Ring was that the game is really good and it deserves my 60 dollars and it’s not a surprising when you learn it has sold 23 million copies

    Casuals and Shills are an objective cancer for any fandom and actively ruin things for legitimate fans.

    Wow, imagine if God of War was selling endgame gear, weapons, and materials for early access... if you think that's okay, then you are the problem

    If they put micro transactions in there, it's a conscious decision made for a financial purpose. The people saying the "DLCs" doesn't matter because they are useless are missing the point. Why are the items there if they have no use?

    I think a lot of these “unplayable” remarks from streamers is unwarranted and is going to detract people from experiencing the game. Yes the performance in towns is poor but you don’t HAVE to buy the micro transactions. DD1 only had a single save file and I assume thats because of the pawn system, like it didn’t stop me from enjoying the original its not going to stop me now. I only got to play for a few hours yesterday but absolutely loved everything so far with the combat, monsters, and world. By all means dunk on capcom for being greedy, but don’t let that take away from enjoying the game.
