Dont know if you know, but dragons dogma 2 came out today.

And within 2 hours of its release, there is already 36.40 euros worth of DLCS.

You cant fast travel without buying microtransaction

You cant change your charecter without paying real money for it etc.

Honest thoughts?

I was really really looking forward to this game, but I have decided not to buy it :(

Honestly.. dont want this to be the business practices, if they get away with it

You can probably farm those mats in game like you could in one, but to be seen.

That seems fine to me. I don't care if the game has microtransactions for people who don't want to actually play the game to unlock things.

Oxcart will take you around the entire map in less than 60 seconds as long as you don't get attacked

Wouldn't buy it due to the poor performance issues too. 18 FPS in combat on PS5 is ridiculous

It's unfortunate that games release in this state. I tend to only play games that are a few years old. They are much cheaper and usually have the performance issues figured out.

Yep, I now wait atleast a month or so and then read reviews to buy a game especially if it’s a AAA title. The only exception recently was Helldivers 2 and Palworld. Seems to be a trend to release an unfinished game and then eventually fix it 1-2 years after release

Just play the vanilla game and don't buy micro transactions for "quality of life" features
For a gaming forum that has many old users, it's surprising how desensitized the community is to just PLAYING THE GAME
Like wtf did you guys grow up on? MICRO TRANS?
