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

      From a review:

      The explorers camping kit is probably the most egregious of the “DLC” So to explain, as you and your pawns battle you take damage, take enough damage and there is a portion of your HP you can’t recover with magic or items. So you’ll either have to go rest at an inn or find a bonfire to set up camp. To make camp you’ll need the camping supplies item, the ones I have found so far are very heavy in weight, which means your party won’t have much space for loot. The explorers camping kit DLC will give you 1 camping supply and make the “explorers camping kit” available to purchase within the in-game shops, and it will be much lighter in weight than the normal camping supplies. Capcom have purposely made the experience far more tedious than it need be in their fully priced AAA game so we would spend the extra money on their quality of life DLC.

      Fuck this game.

    This is all much to do about nothing. It’s all stuff you get in the deluxe addition and right underneath says - “Items in this set can also be purchased separately. Please be aware of duplicate purchases.” This sounds like people trying to find a problem where none exists.

    The Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the add-on “A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack”.

    A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack:

    • Explorer’s Camping Kit - Camping Gear
    • Dragon’s Dogma Music & Sound Collection - Custom Sounds
    • Harpysnare Smoke Beacons - Harpy Lure Item
    • Heartfelt Pendant - A Thoughtful Gift
    • Ambivalent Rift Incense - Change Pawn Inclinations
    • Makeshift Gaol Key - Escape from gaol!
    • Art of Metamorphosis - Character Editor
    • Wakestone - Restore the dead to life! (A)
    • 1500 Rift Crystals - Points to Spend Beyond the Rift (A)

      You don’t have a problem with the game having purchasable fast travel and locking a character editor behind the pay wall?

        It isn’t locked behind a paywall, it costs 500 RC which you can get by literally not playing the game and having your pawn get hired by somebody. You get a fuckton of it just by playing. I’m mad because of how not only is the mtx clearly done by higher ups rather than the devs but they’re utterly useless and only give people false impressions about the game, which was a passion project by the director.
