What I hate the most, and what I also think a lot of people ignore when complaining about those microtransactions in single-player games, is that they don't realize that the game would be better without them. They worsen the gameplay experience just enough for all players to entice some people to purchase those microtransactions. People can say, "Or it doesn't matter since it's something I can get in the game anyway," without realizing that it doesn't cost the developers anything to update the game so that you get these items twice as often or twice as much and improve the gameplay experience. In this case, maybe we could have gotten an increased drop for those crystals and an easier way to create a second character.

@@DanSutherland If you are referring to the fact that implementing microtransactions costs money, well, obviously it does. They have to pay a team so they can test the game and identify what to cut from the main game in order to sell it (reduced gold, amount of exp, etc.). But if you're looking at it from the "They're a company and they have to make money for investors" angle, I want to remind you that the increase from $60 to $70 was thanks to the "we don't make a profit selling games at $60" BS. If we talk about updating the rate of obtaining an item in the game (getting more exp or whatever), it is as simple as changing one number or as complicated as changing a few values in a table. A practitioner could do it in less than a minute, and I would even dare to say that even a monkey would do it correctly and even free of charge. I also want to remind you that, not because it "costs money," we see games like Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring or Lies of P selling for $70 or selling exp bonuses(I've seen this one in a different game), in-game currency, or character slots through microtransactions.

It's sad to see the game sitting at mostly negative. While I haven't picked it up yet (Because my PC can't handle it) I don't feel too bad about it since I don't mind waiting (Outside of a little fomo from missing out on the Pre-order items which strangely are missing from their laundry list of purchaseable items).

Lmao, double standards as usual. Call out shady practices, but let’s be consistent about it. Still can’t believe Elden Ring launched a mess and still won GOTY. No loot boxes, but like other FromSoft launches, it was a mess from a technical framerate point of view. Elden Ring is a souls type of game, with tight hit-boxes, i-frames and a need of low latency. FromSoft failed to deliver in this department. In spite of this, Elden Ring still (corruptly) got 10’s across the board. The console versions were just not as bad as PC, but Digital foundry proved Elden Ring was severely lacking on the performance side at launch. Why did Elden Ring get a pass at launch when its frame rate was all over the place on top of other issues at launch? Why the lack of uproar? This pick and choose mentality on when to be faux outraged is extremely toxic and not a good look!

The fact that Sven was at GDW this week , talking about BG3 and sadly making announcements that there would be no dlc or BG4. All that is in the gaming news at the same time as the DD2 release and its problems. That could have played arole in the microtransaction complaints. As for the performance it seems tying the npcs and pawns so tightly to the cpus was a mistake. But I am not sure they can fix it without removing npcs from the overworld . That would make cities barren and look odd. The game was a potential GOTY. I doubt it will be GOTY now.

I'm on XSX and ZERO crashes in 20 hours played and performance issues are non-existent. In fact, Diablo IV had MORE issues than this game does on releases; Starfield as well since those games would crash on XSX all the time plus have way worse performance issues. Dragon's Dogma 2? Not even close. For MTX, I'm actually surprised we don't have cosmetics. In fact, I love this franchise so much I'd actually buy something with rift crystals if they added it since they're so easy to obtain. Otherwise, it doesn't bother me and hasn't impacted my gameplay at all. Whelps love to cry about stupid shit these days thanks to social media. Cry. More. Noobs.

Don't care I'm still really enjoying it. I played for 49 hours straight 😅 all of the micro transactions are things you can easily obtain in game for people who want to pay to skip the game. They throw ferry stones at you constantly. I've had some bugs and I've had some bad fps but over all I'm loving the game. The worst things have just been quest npcs vanishing suddenly causing me to fail side quests and reload to my last inn save and losing a lot of progress.

The performance issues are things known to be issues with the re engine but made much worse by the open world. In re2 the first window zombie you see has a distance tethered fps and looks horrible from far away, it can't render to many npcs at once which resulted in the off-putting zombie hospital stand off in re3 where they just blew up into goo.

The problem isn't the microtransactions itself, It's about the perversion of game design by mtx. DD2 was just an example. While not horribly bad, it signal the start of 1p games becoming like p2w mmos. eg. port crystals are important things in Dragons Dogma. If people start buying the mtx for them, devs will take notice and start putting important items behind highly inconvenient hurdles incentivizing players to buy them.
