What was Capcom thinking?

How to turn a "must-play game" into trash no one wants in less than 24 hours. Good job. Makes me feel sorry for the poor devs who poured their hearts & souls into it only to have the suits fuck it up - again.

Capcom continually hamstringing themselves. With this and Street Fighter 6 having 100 dollar costume sets they can fuck all the way off. I expect RE9 to let you buy ammo for cash.

i got made fun of when i said microtransactions were a slippery slope and this was gonna end up happening

I was considering buying this but no longer. Game might be good but vote with your wallet to signal intolerance for greedy business practices.

Oh fuck them!

Thats pretty much all capcom was thinking

What was Capcom thinking?

That nerds would bitch and moan and cry then buy it like they always do. Which is exactly what happened.

Geez! I watched the first few minutes of fightincowboy review on it and he was praising it saying the best thing since Elden Ring. I'm sure the gameplay is great, but what a way to get your game reviewed bombed for good reason. I'm sure this will go on sale soon enough if they don't make any changes. What a disappointment, micro transactions should never exist on Single Player games let alone most games. Scummy Capcom!

See if there wasn't only online and Denuvo I would be able to mod that shit out. But because it has Denuvo I will wait until someone cracks it then pirate it so I can mod what features they pay walled to play how it was intended to be played by the honest developers

Holy shit, I read some of the other day that there was a bunch of garbage microtransactions but I had no idea it was this bad. And you can't edit your characters without paying $2? What the fuck?

Glad I didn’t preorder. Gonna hope for the pc modding community to unfuck the game

Travelling is a big part of dragons dogma, the danger of night fall while you travel is actually really cool. However, mtx is ALWAYS bad

The goal should be fast travel people don't want to use because travel is fun.
The Spiderman games for the most part made moving around the city fun enough that I didn't fast travel, but it was still there for the times I had to go really far away.

If you need a feature that lets players skip a part of your game, you should either make that part better or just remove it. But you should still make concessions to players who want to skip it anyway. Like the little "skip cutscene" buttons.

I haddent heard of any of this until i saw the new Mortisimal gaming video, but he didnt get specific about them. Now that i actually see this, its a pass from me for years.

I guess this comment will ruin this now...

I'll just wait until it gets the Dark Arisen treatment and all the MTX and pre-order content becomes freely available in the game and the limits on port stones and the random currencies that aren't just gold for shops are removed.

The original game originally had limited fast travel, too. But it was eventually made non shitty and you can just buy the stones you drop as FT points at a shop in the main city.

The most insane part to me still isn't necessarily the money-grubbing shit, because capcom has been doing that in basically every game they've made for a while now. It's sad to me that dragon's dogma is kind of, the outlet for getting shit on, with this, basically because the other games they put out have built-in fanbases and engagement that are gonna ignore the monetization. But maybe they also have more easily ignored monetization, and it's not as though dragon's dogma doesn't have a fanbase, even if the fanbase is much smaller than the others.

Anyways, the thing that really baffles me about this game is that it's not multiplayer. That seems like an obvious sell. Is there like, some idea there that they'd be cutting in on monster hunter's turf, or something? I dunno, the pawns just seem kinda annoying, and the game, overall, seems kind of mid. I haven't seen a large amount of it, in any case, but maybe it's just sort of, the monetization and denuvo is kind of the final and most prominent cherry on top of a dog shit sundae, and nobody's talking about the actual game itself being maybe more mid because of that. I dunno, though, I legitimately haven't seen much on this game outside of this.

They were thinking, "Look at what customers constantly put up with from Blizzard and Ubisoft. Our core gameplay is fun and people have FOMO, so let's be similarly shitty."

Capcom is back!

In all honesty, this might be the end of Dragons Dogma if they don't turn it around. The first game was a commercial flop even if it is a cult classic now, the MMO crashed and burned and now they ruined a good sequel for no reason.

I just don't see how execs will greenlight another one if this isn't a success.

This makes me afraid for Monster Hunter Wilds. That is my favorite series and the only game I still play online.

I love the first one, janky stuff but mostly great, so when i heard this game is being made, i was ecstatic about it until i learned the game is $70 with no localised price, at that moment i'm guessing the greedy capcom is really back, because their game used to be fairly priced up until MHW. And then this happened.

Money. They were thinking money.

"all you have to do is learn how to have fun while role playing as a person without any clothes (or pay five bucks)"

Patient gamer activated. I might revisit it when they've improved performance and released an ultimate or definitive edition that includes everything.

Is that fun?

People were expecting any different? The trailers looked all jank, can see a cash grab coming from a mile away.

You can get all of these items in game for free for not that much effort. Yes it's dumb but everyone is exploding about this a bit much

It's not a big deal. You can purchase and find these in game. All of the dlc is pointless and is practically the same as the original games dlc. For real.

The fact it exists is shitty, but in their defense travel seems actually fun.

Also you have "fast travel" by the means of carts, which can be attacked during the journey.

This whole thing has blown up completely unnecessarily. Guys, it's a SINGLE player game! Everyone one of these things can be easily unlocked in game. If you are against it, here is a crazy idea; Don't buy them.

The game is awesome, for anyone not blindly joining in on the circlejerk.
