What you need to know

  • As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
  • Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
  • In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

Cant wait to play the next Monster Hunter and buy hunting permits at $2.99 for each hunt.

You mean the series that has been selling a character edit voucher since World?

I've been a fan of Monster Hunter since the PSP and somehow completely forgot that it was made by Capcom. I was already a bit peeved that they moved G-rank behind a paywall and a year of waiting but now I'm nervous that you may not be super far off. People already think that the game has a desire senser and with AI being what it is today it wouldn't be very hard to sell a 'premium carving knife' with charges on it to get that Gem or Plate you need to finish your set.

Theyll turn the elder melder into the elder lootbox store

Oh no. We gotta stop giving them ideas.

You can earn minimum wage in premium hunt credits by working the grill with the felyne chefs (up to 20 hours of work youre not getting free insurance by working full time you freeloader)

Gonna have to pay to skip cutscenes too. And SOS flares aren’t free but aren’t expensive either. Oof, we should be execs somewhere.

G-rank was always dlc, but physical on another version called 3U, 4U or XX, or frontier united.

[–] tkohldesac@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t have to pay for G-rank until Iceborne and Sunbreak. I’d like to go back to those days.

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because you arrived late so you just bought that version

[–] tkohldesac@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I bought every version of every game since the first one and pirated the Japanese versions before they were localized. G rank wasn’t something you had to pay for until the games I mentioned. It was either in the game or it wasn’t. I’m not interested in having an argument though so I’ll just see myself out of this weird pseudo-argument.

Digital safari is a pricey venture.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

They did so well with World and Rise... I'm cautiously hoping they learn from the backlash here.
