Gamers aren't happy that Dragon's Dogma 2 includes microtransactions for basic features - and we think critics need to rescore it.

    Hey wise guy. I have this amazing solution for that. It’s called not fucking buying them. People are losing their shit about this, yet helldivers 2 does the exact same thing and no one gives a shit.

      Oh I’m sorry, I guess I should be grateful that a 70 dollar unoptimized game from a multi-million dollar company has microtransactions. I don’t care what mental gymnastics you come up with, they have no place in paid games.

        Every time I see someone complain about an unoptimized game I’m reminded people still use dog-shit computers or ‘gaming’ laptops.

          Digital Foundry with their peasant 7800X3D and RTX 4090 dropping frames in a large city.

          How does someone else paying for them affect you at all in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME?

          By causing my single player game to be purposely designed to be worse so that they can “sell me the solution” through micro transactions.

          I don’t care that it’s a single player game for fuck’s sake. I have a problem with free to play monetization in a paid game, not just this one any other game.

      Ah yes, cause not paying for them will magically make the game not be designed to try and push you to buy them.
