Fenarisk posted:Maybe this is a dumb question but if the game is moddable, and already has mods, why would you ever spend money on MTX instead of just modding that stuff in? they honestly don't expect a lot of people to buy it. They put it in there so they can tell their shareholders they are trying to increase profits with microtransactions. Most people don't buy it.

Calidus posted:Does this game work like FF Tactics such that your going to down one or two job/class/vocation to get a couple of abilities then your going go max out a late game class? Kind of, in DD1 you would have permanent stat growth from whatever vocation you were which lead to people min\maxxing by playing a class they didnt want for half the drat game. This time around the stats change when you change vocations. What you CAN keep though is some passive abilities and buffs you've unlocked and also eventually there's the Warfarer class that you can build with all your abilities.

WarpedLichen posted:I am really curious about the people buying Capcom's consumable packs, they must exist right? Otherwise they wouldn't bother putting it in? There must be some market for this somehow? This has always been confusing to me too. Like for predatory F2P mobile games I understand what the sales pitch is - "our game sucks on purpose but you can pay money to remove the artificial barriers we put in the way". But the stuff Capcom sells is like, not hard to get at all through normal gameplay so there's none of that "incentive" to push people towards paying money to skip the grind.

It's genuinely that it requires no effort to implement while making shareholders happy. "Here, we have a bunch of $1 things people can buy" and maybe like 200 people total buy them and oh look a free $200 profit for literally no effort.

You know how you sometimes you think "this game was great, I wish I could experience it for the first time again"? Dragon's Dogma 2 is just literally THAT.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, this is the genuinely exhausting thing. Lol, what are you talking about? I’m trying to tell you why they are getting review-bombed into the dirt. The microtransactions are worthless, I even said it in my post. They are the same worthless micro transactions they added to RE4 remake and monster hunter. The difference is this game has massive performance issues and deserves the beating it’s taking. The game is a 10/10 when it’s not sub 20 fps for no discernible reason.

Literally the only place to see the stuff is on the out-of-game DLC screen. There isn't even an in-game store. HD2 literally nags at your wallet more. If you boot up DD2 without looking at the Steam/PS/whatever DLC screens you would have no idea it exists.

Oh yeah if anyone is put off by the microtransactions, or worried that this is one of those "we made the game poo poo on purpose" kind of situations*, if this is like DD1 you'll be swimming in currency and gear and whatever else pretty soon. Like you thankfully CAN ignore the shop. It's a shame they went and did it though, because now instead of talking about playing the game or sorting out ini settings and poo poo to get things running better this discussion has to suck up all the oxygen in the room *They may have optimised it poo poo though oops

I can't honestly complain about either. The dlc is ignorable because it's all stuff you can get in game just by playing, and it isn't made tedious to encourage you to buy the dlc. It just plays like a good video game. Also I haven't had any performance issues with a 3080.

Also they do almost nothing to advertise the dlc at you in-game. There's a link to the store page in the main menu and that's it. I remember back when Dragon Age Origins released its DLC they literally put an NPC in your camp to direct you to buy it

I just looked through some of the Steam reviews and half of them are outright lies, like this one that over 12k people found helpful Yeah get their rear end gamers, this is our 9/11 (also lol, made that review and then played for another 7 hours which is more than even I currently have in it)
