I guarantee you that Denuvo DRM is affecting the performance of this game 100%
I agree no game has a smooth performance with DRM.
Some post on pc forum said there actually 2 drm in the game. Denuvo and Capcom "anti modding" drm.
Denuvo isnt that bad on the hardware, its barely noticeable unless you have an older rig maybe but this is Capcom we're talking about here, they could've also put in their own DRM on top of Denuvo causing a conflict.
Yeah i also guarantee that Ice is cold. Genius
I don't know how anyone could dispute that. I don't know how they keep getting business.
They have done this before with DMC 5 and the first dragon dogma even resident evil 4 remake. So it isn’t sth new I never bought any micro transactions on said games and owe them all . They are not essential but just for lazy people that want to get to the end faster so this is wild that everyone is focused on that and not on the fact that the RE engine is struggling with this game
Big open World with no fast Travel and Bad performance omg 😂😂😂😂
@@nidaldakkar8006 I know riiiight ?! Groundbreaking haha
Ya I was about the say the same I'm still going to buy the game for ps5 so I really don't care what people say. Now for the character I only used it one's for many game's before so in a way I never needed to change. Now the new game thing now that's kinda stupid in a way. It's greed people all large gaming company's do it. Assassin's creed single player game's have this and people still bought the game the division 1&2 has these kind of things still people bought it and played it even call of duty game's have this as well and yet people still bought it? At the end of the day you have a choice you can buy the game or not buy the game. You can choose to buy the microtransaction stuff because your lazy and cheap or beat the game without it it might take longer but it's worth it.
MXT is a tiny issue. Performance is a big problem.
the things I do agree on is who's bright idea it was not to have fast travel and a big open world game. Do you know how tedious that is going back and forth to locations without fast travel? Like we should not have to pay for that and not character editing. As for the performance I'm sure they'll fix it up with patches...(hopefully)
What’s next ???
Buy a game and pay per button presses ???
There’s nothing available via MTX that you can easily earn by simply playing the game. I’m against MTX, but your take isn’t representative of the actual issue.
Drama Queen
Stop giving the CEOs ideas, dude. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Please, man. Avoid give them any new ideas. I can already see the Resident Evil 6 Remake Alpha Plus Edition, every QTE been ONLY $2.00 💀
I mean, one developer was gonna charge per reload of your gun and then what if charge per bullet fired
Capcom has had tons of useless DLC for years. They do it with all their games. Look at MH Rise and DMC 5. Atlus is crazy with the DLC too. I like Capcom games but if it isn't real gameplay DLC i normally don't buy any of it.
I didn't hear anyone flipping out over Tales of Arise having microtransacctions that literally give you level boosts. None of these transactions are integral to the game, they are for people that want an easier time of it or who want to get through it faster. it would be one thing if this was an online multiplayer game that would give one person an advantage over someone that didn't pay for the additional items, but all this stuff just makes it a little bit easier. But, if you are like me, you will just play through the game without them. If this game is anything like the first you will end up with way too many port crystals and wakestones, etc. just from regular gameplay. The only advantage to havng a bunch of rift crystals is to hire a pawn of a higher level than you.
How Tales of Arise keeps reminding you there's mtx, absolutely shitty move. I hate that exclamation mark.
There was definitely outrage when Tales of Arise came out over the micro transactions. Maybe it wasnt to the same degree but there was heated discourse around it and a lot of videos.
Nobody even talks about the game to begin with, so how would anybody know about them?
You can Google the previous MTX, people were upset. But even if they weren't I don't understand this argument, are people not allowed to eventually get upset over bs? Stuff builds up overtime and they get fed up. I keep hearing people say this and it's not a valid point.
Like a dragon infinite wealth also had micro transactions. I wish more people talked about that one as well but it is what it is.
It did new game plus behind paywall
Yeah but what kind?
@@Diggi1027 it has level and stat boosters you can buy from the menu screen.
Too much Dragons, not enough Dogma
😂
And drama
We have loads of drama
If I were a game developer, I’d have xtransactions in my games too, knowing idiots will spend their money.
I don’t really care about the MXTs but I find it weird that the reviewers had that information given to them and no one thought to mention it? Hard to believe everyone just brushed over it
I can tell you right now that GTA 6 is gonna have MTX. Is that gonna stop you or anyone else from buying it?
@@logicstone1661 no as I said above I don’t really care about them. I was commenting on how weird that no reviewer mentioned them even though they knew about it and are all coming out now to trash it, but they didn’t in their review. I just find it funny
It's not that weird, nobody mentioned it because it doesn't effect the game experience of DD2 in any way whatsoever.
@@xLionsxxSmithyx wether it affects it or not, its still weird, they are leaving out information that for a lot of people (not everyone ) would influence wether or not they get the game, and its literally in the review guide they get as one of the talking points
@@woteveruk1 not really, it's just Definitive Edition content.
You can earn everything in the mtx store in game so it honestly makes no difference to me. I’m also an adult with a family, job, etc so I really don’t have the capacity to really get into the issue
12:52 It's wild that Japenese devs/publishers have BETTER business ethics when it comes to this issue even though Asia is the WORST for microtransactions, whales, mobile, gacha, etc. Meanwhile U.S. and European companies are fucked by investors saying "let's do what Korea and China's doing"
Actually no lol, microtransactions in Asian f2p games are far more sincere than western microtransctions. Cuz with gacha games thry even show you the pity rate, and has pity system. Because they're free to play whereas western aaa games that you pay them also has microtransctions, and it is even to the point it is pay to win.
Devil may cry, monster hunter world and resident evil 4 remake would like to say hi. Every item is in game and can be earned fairly. Also you can tell people didn’t play DD1 because those same items were in that game too and not a peep from people
You forgot to mention the other reason we know they didnt play it, because that one was a buggy mess as well.
@@smugnick5458 it was an enjoyable experience for me so yeah
@@smugnick5458no you didn't play because you never heard of it until youtubers started making nostalgia pieces about it.
@BlueLightningSky wrong guess bud. I had this game back when I was in high school. It was alright. But boring and buggy. I bought it again on switch. And it was again....boring af. Which is why I was laughing at all of the hipster hype the sequel was getting. And did not buy it.
I asked Ruri and he clarified, seems EU and US got different memos, so it seems the EU reviewers didn't know the MTX are coming... that's why some content creators are saying they knew, and some are saying they have no clue
The worst part of Dragons Dogma is the backtracking and walking, its just constant dogs and goblins every 10 feet. You cant tell me, at least to some degree, this wasn't done with the MTX in mind, especially when you take into consideration that DD1 has the eternal ferrystone, an unlimited fast travel item.
Capcom snuck in the micro transactions after the game release intentionally and after the game reviews.
I highly doubt they snuck it in. Some reviewer are admitting they knew it the others are lying to save themselves
@@Ccubed92 it should have been public info so yeah they did snuck it in. You whoudnt say small print on a contract is totally fair and not at all dubious tactic whould you?
Yeah n all these reviewers some of whom completed the game had no issues doing so without mtx so maybe…it’s a good game regardless?
The items were already visible on steam before release. So technically the microtransactions were public knowledge to PC gamers.
People already knew about them before the game came out, so what are you talking about?
I remember on the PS3 days a game called Lost Dimension had a similar thing where you only had a few of one specific item, but you could buy more of them on the PlayStation shop. You didn't have to buy it, but it was there. (Please port it to modern consoles Atlus)
In AC Odyssey, a lot of items i in the microtransaction are just cosmetics in nature. You absolutely dont need to buy a thing to finish or enjoy that game.
The master pc race seems to be having more and more issues with multi platform games.
10 items you don't need to buy. No body cries about preorder bonuses.
If the MT’s are anything like the ones in Tales of Arise or any of the Tales games for that matter then I’m not at all worried. If it’s like AC Odyssey then that’s no good. Good thing for me is I’m never connected to the internet barely so I won’t be able to get the MTX at all.
Bro who thought the game was ready to launch with this performance like wtf
Microtransactions in gaming more specifically non mobile games will continue to happen as long as people keep buying them. Just like when the concept of DLC was introduced. People kept buying them and now we get DLC that often cost almost as much as the game itself. Long story short... These predatory practices are here to stay and until gamers start looking themselves as well as "insert company" for blame we're going to keep seeing these issues.
@PlayerEssence, I enjoyed Shin Megami Tensei V. I did buy the mitama boosting dlc but turned it off after I realized it made the game entirely too easy. It was nice to alleviate a little bit of grind but if you wanted you could use it to get to level 100 in like the first area. I do plan to use it when Vengeance comes out though. Anyway, I think that's a decent example of single player DLC that didn't make the base game worse to justify its existence. What did you think of it?
The MTX in this game aren't really that disruptive to begin with. I see A LOT of over the top rage baiting for clicks out there for what's been overall a relatively innocuous implementation of these things which we've already seen for other Capcom titles. The AC games comparison is very pertinent here to establish proper context. DD2 hasn't felt grindy at all compared to those games in my experience, and I'm usually someone who doesn't mind a bit of grinding, but AC definitely felt excessively pushy with their time savers. We can only speculate on whether DD2 has been deliberately set to push players there or not, but I suppose that's contingent on each player's self control and their tolerance for a grind, and to an extent, the same could be said about AC titles. I'm just having fun, but I agree people should definitely vote with their wallets if they find this to be out of line. Such is the beauty of the free market, after all.
They better patch in more save slots.
The lack of teleport locations is definetly because they want to sell the portable stones.
100%. Major cities NEED this, especially Bathal was lacking, it's a major city, with lots of quests, and it has NO TELEPORT STONE.
Well you can only buy 1 riftstone soo........ the other 10 are in game. Also the store doesn't have Any Ferrystones for purchase....
Place a Riftstone in Bathal.
Did anyone play Dragon's Dogma 1?
Some people go way too wild on optional micro transactions. 7 hours in game is still great. Oh well as long as it doesn't break the game I will just keep playing and have fun.
I also think people are going out of proportion about this (as long as those items are not difficult to get in the game). However, there are a couple of things I do agree with everybody else. I feel like we should be able to make a new game anytime we want. We shouldn't have to pay for fast travel and definitely not pay to edit our characters, that is pretty scummy in my book.
For the love of Christ, why would anyone overseeing and developing for this game think it is ok to never include a Start new game option.
Because it's about playing through the story, make mistakes and live with them.
BotW and TotK have only one save file and there was no problem with that. You wanna start a new game, delete the old one.
You wanna play multiple characters? Just make a second account.
Whatever you do, stop crying and be a man!
@@maddo-hq9jr I heard that you can't even delete your save here though
@@primadansaripudin9269 and do you believe that $hit? People tell lies and exaggerate everyday to make themselves important.
@@maddo-hq9jr We found the Capcom shill.
@@saucemaster2 We? Do you suffer from DID? Or did you mange to bring the 🤡 possy with you?
The game was probably in the works pre nex-gen consoles. I would definitely understand if it took keeping putting off the game until the time and money was right to get back into developing the game.
Micro transactions are not the issue, but an option for when the player don’t feel like traveling all the terrains and rocky mountains to get them. The game isn’t going to have a save file. And I believe that is a smart move, because making a save file system would’ve made the game huge and more expensive to make, so saving the game occurs when you rest in an inn.
If people can actually read what goes behind the studios, then there wouldn’t be such outrage against Capcom, because Capcom is not like most AAA Western gaming studios that use micro-transactions to push the game forward.
If they were going to screw people for money, they wouldn’t be screwing Japanese gamers in the process, too. Capcom is very trusting because they gave you the option to play the game for what it is and to choose a doc when the game is very difficult for the player.
And the good thing is, the DLC is not the whole game and prices for each DLC is a few cents to about $3. What is there to really be angry at Capcom about?
My problem with microtransactions in this situation is i pay a full price for the game it is not a "free-2-play" model it is single player but for once i can only make one character and have to pay to ajust that char if i made a mistake or im unhappy about something i made? Why would i do that?
These are optional things you can get for free in game. People are overreacting about this. Also Capcom just won publisher of the year. They will be fine
I really don’t think its a big deal and I think reviewers like Cowboy who absolutely love the series and love the game and from my watchtrough of his game plays, I don’t think it affected him at all whether MTX existed or not. Unlike say Assassins Creed Odyssey, I don’t think game play is setup to push players to purchase in any way. I think it helps expand the audience to players who might want more help i.e. less experienced and/or not used to the DD play style. That being said, I agree Capcom and the reviewers should have disclosed it, but only because clearly everyone underestimated what a big deal it would be. For me, this is just a fantastic game that 100% lives up to what I was expecting and was so friggin happy that a DD2 exists at all and that it turned out amazing. It’s sad to see it being bashed for MTX. Again, I see nothing in the game play that is different from the first one that would push players to purchase so if you don’t like MTX, don’t buy it, but I wouldn’t down vote the game because of it.
Performance issues on pc are another thing. I have zero noticeable issues on PS5. We do have a PC player in the same house and he can see some issues (using 3070) but nothing even remotely game breaking. PC players, with beefy rigs definitely want to see the impact of the dollars forked out for the beef in games so I get why FPS shifts that the average PC player might not notice at all without an FPS counter being on the screen e.g. do not break the immersion or the experience, are a big deal to them. Could be that these days my expectations for PC optimization by companies has fallen, but I do tend to assume that the first few months will have issues on PC for the most part.
Feel like complaining about these pointless MTXs is going to cause capcom to come out and be like, "you know what guys, you're right, MTXs are meant for unique items not found in game only." 😅
Imo the microtransactions are a nonissue. This is not p2w or egregious. Framerate is the bigger problem. Im gonna play on console (ps5), Id prefer a 30 fps lock. Its quite jarring when you go from say 45 to 20 fps.
imagine if these same steam reviewers tried to play sims 4 today 🤣🤣🤣 that game makes DD 2 mtx look like oblivion horse armor
As bad as it is it’s still dominating I saw it had a 200k concurrent player count on steam yesterday at one point
Expect that to fall off fairly quickly.
@@EldritchErik94well yeah it's a single player game , with almost no different choices to make. Even if there is a new game+ , haven't got there yet so idk, but only hardcore players will remain like the last game.
Modern day gamers doing what modern day gamers do best, make a mountain over a molehill.
100% game design structure is impacted. Even if it is not egregious, you know it is in the development conversations and the structure of in-game systems. It is not just thrown in without thought at the last minute. Capcom has been doing this with many of their games.
At a minimum, they a forcing casual gamers to pay for things that somewhat create an easy mode. Whether you are in favor of or against difficulty modes this is not okay.
Lastly, Candy Crush is free. I cannot conceptualize what would drive a person to buy anything in game BUT if you don’t want your play time interrupted you can AND it is highly profitable bc people do.
You could argue that Capcom including these systems in all their games is actively trying to build an addiction to MTX systems and normalizing their use.
So long as you can earn the items in game then I'm cool. For me grinding is fun ❤
Game got asynchronous Multiplayer and Leadearboards. So it harms the integrity of the game i feel like.
When I am scoring game, I am removing one point at least for micro-transactions (if pay2win I can reduce more)….
I had a gut feeling something would happen, I’ll just wait for a sale. Playing rebirth, nothing on switch rn. I’m not playing the peach game sorry
I think it's a over hyped remaster i will just keep the old one lol
While I wish companies would learn the lesson, at the very least it seems the micro-transaction whales are either not there or aren't enough to make this the standard for single-player focused games, at least not as much as it's a trend for almost anything regarding mobile games. Maybe it's really not a matter of eventual implementation, but rather a slow transition away from these micro-transactions as certain games released in poor states either because of them or that they were originally designed with them in mind. We'll see.
Really not a big deal. People need to chill
If Capcom makes a lot of money with this game, then they will keep adding more outrageous micro transactions and DRM crap.
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Be there! Be there! Be there!
Too much drama and false information. This IS bad!
I love DD2.. people acting like someone putting a gun to their head & forcing them to buy microtransactions for something u can u already get just by simply playing the game 💀
and DRM too
Bad look and bad form. Hopefully a learning moment, to help game companies disclose what they're planning to sell as DLC so consumers can make informed purchasing decisions. Looking disappointingly at Capcom and Bandai Namco.
Not defending the new game thing , but I think that could create “shadow pawns “ or duplicates that can mess up the pawn system.
The game is great , the only thing I thought buy was a portcristal but remember in new game plus you will get all of them again.
22hrs and I have 1900 cristals , 8 wakestones , 7 ferrystones and if I need anything else I can buy it with the cristals …. Really no need to buy
They would be dumb not to charge people for it, I hope all games do the same going forward. Should've have charged more
Do you think that Capcom will make it easier for players to get items they want you to purchase ???
Hell no !!!
They will make you grind and grind, so you can pay to earn/beat
I’m playing the game right now. I really like it. I don’t have internet where I live so microtransactions don’t affect me at all. I wouldn’t even know they existed if it weren’t for all the online videos and comments. The game is fun for me and I really like it. It’s sad to me that these little things available to purchase for people who are too lazy to actually play the game is going to take this from potential game of the year to one of the lowest rated. Sad. Those few things available for purchase don’t seem worth the “renown” loss this game is going to receive. These few microtransactions in no way make my individual single play through bad, negative or worse or unfair.
I rarely buy games day one and I don’t buy more than 2 or 3 new games a year just due to cost, lack of time, and lack of internet availability where I live in rural USA.
The game also looks and works fine on my PS5 Slim so I don’t see what everyone is upset about.
Based on my experience with the game so far, I’d give it a solid 8/10 or 88/100.
The last game I bought and played was BG3, and that is a 10/10 or a 100/100 imo.
Great video, great take. This game doesn't have to be the hill people die on (like Charlie), but it should absolutely be a cause for concern.
If you bought the game, enjoy it. There's no shame in that. But please don't silence the people who are upset. Discussions like this are important.
He didn't just died on it, they killed him by two hours of torture on it.
The people who're the most upset are also those who seemingly didn't engage with the franchise in any way. Hard to not think people should shut up if people familiar with the series say something different. At that point it just seems like being upset to be upset, so faux outrage.
@@NuiYabuko You are not entitled to have more important opinion than anybody else, plenty of people have high hopes with that title. It doesn't matter if a fan or casual buy game, both by spending 70$ have right to receive finished product with certain quality witch unfortunately was not meet with this game. People are tired of MXT and on top of that game is poorly optimized not only for Pc but overall. I'm a fan of franchise and Capcom really disappointed with this one. Monster Hunter Wilds is a next on line I hope this backlash stop them from pulling another stunt like this.
If it’s DLC coming a couple of months after the release of the game, I’m fine with that.
It’s a master piece I can’t put it down, the one save thing is a myth same with these micro transactions has little effect on my game experience (playing on ps5, 22hours in no bugs or graphic lag) fought magic golem, griffin & Saurans all on the same screen, that being said, yes they need to be put on blast for this I dread having micro transactions in games specially if they deliberately make the game unplayable unless you spend money, definitely a bad practice.
oh i understand
Some people will say, I can do it without paying any money BUT what those companies actually want his to you to engage your first dollar in it. At this moment, they know what it take to you for investing. It is the same thing in any game single and multi, people need to stop with the BS but it is less worse than X and actually see the truth. The moment that you press the button to get something, you show to them what it is needed to be done.
Everyone is following the storm have never played the first game if your going to listen to somone watch someone who actual played the first game everyone just follow the storm everything is on game people talking about a game they never played never ends well alot misinformation people already coming out for it
P.s
This is not aimed at OJ doing his job on the topic
Prove to me that you are not a hypocrite by criticizing the internal purchases of Resident Evil 4 Remake
They did a Lords of the Fallen on us!
and my friends wonder why I keep going back to modded Skyrim. With the abysmal state the game launched in, the youtuber reviews were very deceptive in their reviews based on that alone, and I have unsubscribed from all of them I was regularly watching. I am not sure if they were just trying to get clicks, or were paid off, they were being deceptive. I have not bought an acceptable new game in the last two years and the state of the video game industry is awful right now. I am no longer playing new games. I have gone back and handpicked older games I have not played yet and upgraded my expanded hard drives on both my consoles so that I can install off physical discs and get the patches, they call it a day with ever buying new. I have no intention of ever uninstalling games because I now have tbs of space and older games are smaller anyway. All these studios that keep engaging in predatory practices can screw themselves. I am done buying new games, and especially from Capcom, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Wild Card, EA and any other studio that engages in this practice. This is why we need to keep used game store alive as gamers, or we will beholden to the whims of these greedy and predatory studios.
To the people in the comment section, tell me: how could people complain about RE 4 Remake microtransactions if they weren't there when the game came out? Because it wasn't a really long game, and they didn't add microtransactions until two weeks after release, by the time most people were done with the game, and the reviews were already there, so... why are you guys comparing that to Dragon's Dogma 2's release?
Other than that, I agree with those who think people are just complaining about that because the game is poorly optimized. If it wasn't, they would probably be enjoying the game a lot more and not be able to focus on the negative. I've seen that in the past, with other titles. If the game is good, well optimized and you don't need any microtransactions, no one cares if they are there. The problem is something that was easy to see coming, and I was warning people about for over a month now, which is: the game has CPU load issues.
So it's fine when microtransactions get added two weeks after release? Not everyone buys games Day 1, so what difference does it really make? According to the comments, MH and DMC did the same when it comes to microtransactions, so it's nothing new.
@@NuiYabuko I'm not saying it's fine. I'm saying that it is unfair to criticize reviewers and players for not talking about it, when the microtransactions WERE NOT EVEN THERE at the time.
Yes, this is a Capcom thing. No $70 game should have microtransactions. I'm defending reviewers and people who were positive towards Resident Evil 4 Remake when it came out. I'm not defending the microtransactions.
@@joseijosei That wasn't at all obvious, but I guess that makes more sense.
Based on my experience with the first Dragon's Dogma and DMC5 this situation seems totally overblown.
Capcom tried to keep this a secret for as long as possible to maximise pre-orders. Bad move.
Combat is almost as boring as Dark souls 2, not sure why people mistake fancy repetitive effects as good combat, but they are not the same.
Mage felt especially dull to play, the warrior and theif were a bit more interesting but it's only over the top. Also game has so much bugs that i had to restart my save 5 times in 4 hours, just so i can get to a point where i had to rescue some sort of magistrate, dude wouldn't want to talk to me, then went full ramba on me, i had to kill him cause he was killing me and that was the 6 time that i had to start over and just decided to release the allocated space from my ssd, because simply it's not worth it. It's hamster water, that bad.
There's tons of games with micro transactions and I've never bought any. Didn't ruin my experience
True. Sometimes I have depending on what it is. Either way, it's optional. Never hindered my experience but I guess for some it does lol
They wouldn't make something a microtransaction if it had no chance of selling. For all the ones acting like it's nothing, ask yourself, why would they completely remove new game? Why make camping gear that weighs less and paid DLC? Why make the fast travel system the way it is? It's all to nudge people into spending to avoid inconvenience, they make it minor enough to act like it's not an issue but the game has very clearly made design elements to be slightly annoying and obtuse for a reason.
It showed the absolute fall of Japanese game.
Japanese game used to be great in 2017-20 but how can they fall so soon and get mogged easily by Mihoyo,Lies of P,Stellar blade and Wukong?
No Japanese game have won award in 2023 while Chinese games like BG3(tencent),Genshin and starrail has got one.
At least we Westerners still make good game like Avowed,Hi-fi rush, Diablo 4, Halo infinity, AoE4,Modern warfare 3,Sea of stars,
BG3,Mortal kombat 1,
Spiderman 2,Remnant 2, Helldivers 2, Assassin's creed red, DA werewolf.
Japanese games are culled by the time when graphic and frame rate is everything in gaming while Korea and China mogs them in ease.
Anyone feeling the deja vu from this in 2017 when Japan mogged Western game which suffers from wokism, but China and Korea does same to Japan in 2024 with Lies of P, ZZZ, Black myth wukong, stellar blade, right? Korea and China never kneels to wokism.
I not really surprise this game feel like a MMO
Seems like the majority of people who are playing it rn have no issue. Its mostly people who are NOT playing that are pissed. 🤣
It's quite bizarre to watch honestly. I don't own the game and I probably wouldn't play it, but if people say everything can easily be earned in-game, then I listen, especially when they actually play the game as opposed to all those causing faux outrage.
I don't like microtransactions either but based on what I've read and seen these microtransactions are stuff that is not detrimental to the game. The only thing I have a problem with is that there is a microtransaction to change the look of your character. This won't affect my enjoyment of the game but to be real I personally think these microtransactions should not be in the game at all.
Capcom has been retroactively adding DRM to their old and new games. The Capcom we all knew is gone. They are making games with a casino modo 100% in mind.
Capcom for me is not the Capcom I love anymore. Their breakup of full game are now dlc. If you look at the amount of content they put into MH4U & Gen they went ahead & cut MHR into 2 releases & charged us 2 times to complete the game.
MHR is my last from them & wont be supporting their practice on it & any other games they are doing.
😢😢😢
Can we really trust that reviewers got the same version of the game that the public got. The answer to me is no. Clearly they did not, did they have the store, no, did they see Denuvo, no. It is an easy thing to adjust the drop rates, so they may not have needed them because it was setup that way. But for the public release they were most likely manipulated to push people to spend money. I don’t trust these developers and publishers anymore and you shouldn’t either.
people are a bit emotional and delusional, this is not the 80s and 90s and early 2000s, we currently live in a world of LACK OF TIME, the way time operated back then does not operate now at all, we're living in a moment of rapid info intake, many of us do not have time, when you're in your 30s and 40s and 50s you'll understand how valuable time is, if you're a millionaire or highly wealthy that time doesn't effect you in a macro scale, you shouldn't be complaining, we only have 1 life and in this stage in life we're all tryna consume much as possible before we expire because so much property is being pushed out so it's inevitable we want to consume everything, the days of spending eternity on 1 OR 2 MMOS OR RPG is over the days off golden age MMO OR RPG that can carry itself for more than 5 to 10 years is over, too much content so to combat LOSING TIME CONSUMPTION, it's natural to CUT TIMES, you can't satisfy ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE unfortunately, for ones with familys and work or 2 jobs especially in this economy will need system to aid, and the ones that don't need TIME CUT system obviously can continue, and yes the whales is just a double edge sword situation, but to cry about micro transaction people vision are skewed or tunnel vision and looking at it from their perspective, it's not a matter of why they can't remove MT it's a matter of times have changed
I was actually about to buy a PS5 primarily to play this game (and, of course, other games). Now I’m just soured on it and intend to stick with my Switch and PS4 Pro
and how a game suppose to support itself? people want things for free is just delusional, and at the same time expect a game or developers to just not make any money? and you're not forced to purchased anything
Game journalists lying to consumers? No way!
Same story. Different game.
Another comment said that apparently US reviewers were told about the microtransactions while European ones weren't, but making baseless assumptions about people is the true Gamer way.
I wonder why DD2 got the most hate for microtransactions because looking at other Capcom's games (RE, DMC, MH) all have microtransactions? Are people getting more fed up especially because there's no new game option and the performance issues?
It's a single player game aren't people tired of being nickel and dimed in a single player game? I don't care how all this stuff can be earned in game it's just the principle of it seriously charging money to fast travel and revived??
@@updaterequired1173 ok forget MH, but RE and DMC are also single player games no? I hate microtransactions too and never opted to use it since you can get all the items in the game too. I also agree that letting game companies normalize this practice in the future people will be ok with save points being sold in microtransactions lol. I'm just wondering why RE4 and DMC5 got away with this
@@renno257 they get away with it cause unfortunately lots of gamers have zero self control and keep buying these micro transactions Capcom wouldn't add these in if it wasn't making money... I honestly believe single player games especially RPGs should be 100% mtx free no exceptions.
@@updaterequired1173But if you just said people actually buy them willingly then why would Capcom stop doing it? Lol If someone is going buy something I'll sell it too. You don't have to buy it though so regardless of your opinion on the matter, as long as you aren't buying it, your pockets are not affected so it's no skin off your back either way. I don't really see an issue at all. People can buy whatever they want. If they buy it, yeah, the company will sell it.
Faux outrage. The gaming community is good in making that.
Looks like it's every man for himself in the gaming community, trust no one folks best start making your own decisions when it comes to this hobby cuz nothing is reliable anymore gaming is dying and everyone killed it thanks to everyone who's a player, reviewer, developer and investor...🖕
bro you need a script. you spent a third of the video absolutely yappin.
You have effectively made me decide NOT to buy Dragons Dogma 2
Microtransactions, whatever the context its just bad PR. Crapcom dropped the ball once again. *sigh*
Capom turning in to EA slowly
This is nothing new? I'm still going to buy the game for ps5 so I really don't care 🤷.
Yal are so dramatic lol you just saying anything because the past 10 years they have been doing this where we're you then it kindergarten
More like Ubisoft .
@@Ccubed92we or atleast i have been championing this issue for years! Guess what hapened? People like you came in saying us complaining was nonsense or that its not that big of a deal! So shut it with you. Even if we were silent then just because we didint do someting then doesent mean we should just give up and curl into a ball.
Guess what also wasent complained about long time ago? Loot boxes, and now that were fully annoyed by them should we just stop because we didint complain loud enough last time?
@kampfer91 well if the person is bothered by it then all you can do is don't buy it then. Plus this is capcom why are people surprised about This devil may cry 5,street fighter 6,resident evil 4 and resident evil 2 remake etc has microtransaction and yet people still bought the game. Face it people if you don't like it then band together just like the sweet baby inc that's being exposed the person exposing this has around over three hundred thousand steam followers. So I suggest make a group and boycott the game so that future game's doesn't have them however people love there game's now just imagine gta 6 having these practices oh wait gta 5 has something like that spending real money for fake digital money 💰. You wait and see gta 6 is going to be a money hungry game that's for sure and people will complain about it and yet still play it because it's that addictive.
The problem is not just Capcom
Reviewers shouldn't be reviewing a full game by with little investment. Hence why "credible" reviewers often oversee or chose not to talk ablut the microtranstactions and other important details that cosumers take inbconsideration when making their purchase. This was very well put by PlayerEssence and couldn't have been said better.
If there is one thing I really hate is when companies like Capcom try to hide something that will make people angry like MTX. This is a unacceptable thing to do
They will 100% influence the items you can find, so that you buy items instead.
That’s definitely not how the game works. The one time purchase MTXs are completely ignorable. Half of them are already bundled into the deluxe edition, all but 3 items are obtainable in game playing normally and any improvements/convenience they offer are negligible. The pay to win comments and complaints are ridiculous and non starters imho. I also think it’s just as ridiculous that they are there in a single player game. But I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion
That's crazy cause every mtx item has dropped for me at a higher droprate than even dragons dogma dark arisen which had no mtx store on steam 🤷♂️
@@Sixshotz1337 yeah. I’m swimming in rift crystal’s and I’m level 15? DD:DA did have a very similar mtx store when it first came out. But again, totally not necessary. Tbh rift crystals mainly just let you hire pawns and hiring too high a level pawn or traveling with a higher level pawn puts you at a greater chance at getting dragon plague. I’m not entirely sure what it does but I heard it’s not good.
That's not what actual players say and I'm more prone to believe them, since they actually engaged with the game.
I'd be willing to bet that those currencies were made more available in the review copies and when then updated for the micro transactions they became rarer so people would be pressured to buy them.
You can bet all you want, you'd lose the bet though.
I like all these assumptions when people, who're actually playing the game, say something completely different.
I was not super likely to play this, but it's a total skip forever.
Hate to tell you all, these youtubers that are making excuses, dont want to fall out of these companies good graces, so they lied to you. The female he mentioned plays a whole lot of capcom games....
Reviewers: "we never felt the need to fast travel"
Stop complaining, CEO needs another yacht!
I like your videos, but they are hard to watch. You just show the same trailer footage over and over again and that makes your videos very boring very quickly.
Maybe use other people's gameplay footage and credit them? I'd watch a lot more of your stuff if you changed things up a bit.
Don’t worry, Sega comin
Probably it's a good idea to just wait for the inevitable Complete Edition coming to Switch 2 in a year or so, especially considering it's basically the first game with some fresh coat of paint put on it.
There’s no need- all the items are easily obtainable in the game. I am only a few hours in but I have had not to buy anything and have obtained most of the stuff being sold already lol.
I guess I'm not getting Dragon's Doga 2, Capcom is starting to suck again.
Capcom has been doing MTX for the past few years.
Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry.
Just don't buy them if you don't want it. The game isn't affected at all by it.
Imagine having to Pay to Fast Travel in Elden Ring.
