Oh fuck them!
The more I read, the more shocked I am.
They put out a damage control statement today saying that you can find these items in game too. Sounds like they're rare though.
They are not rare. They are easily obtained by paying gold, a currenct which is very easy to come by.
Rift crystals? Is there in-game currency for this single player game?
Edit: they have an arcade game style "insert a dollar to continue" option I'm dying
One save file has been a thing since the first one. There is a new game plus and you can obviously delete your save and start again. The character edit things are in game and fairly common, already have a few without looking. RC are also earned extremely easily in game and the only purpose there beyond some cosmetic glasses is to add allies into your party that are high above your level. Its just another type of gold. I have no idea what you're talking about with the "insert dollar to continue" thing. Also the jail keys are incredibly easy to get, you can buy them for like 3000g which is very cheap (early game starter weapons are triple that). All the mtx just seem like incredibly easy and quick to get shit for people who have more money than sense.
And it was stupid then too. No modern single player RPG should limit players to a single save file. I understand there are many great RPGs that do, and I still think they shouldn't.
Making players play through tens of hours of campaign as a character that they want to delete is a pretty bad decision on capcom's part.
No you cannot. There is no option to delete your save data within the game.
Rift Crystals are in DD1 also, without MTX. They're just the currency for your pawn stuff basically IIRC. You'll get them passively while playing the game, assuming it still works like 1 which I think it does.
The teleport stones called "ferrystones" are 10k gold each which is a lot.
In Dragon's Dogma 1 they give you a reusable one for free after feedback that they were too hard to find in the base game.
Looks like Capcom saw a quick buck instead this time around, with a map 4 times as big this is a much bigger issue than in the original and it seems to have been done on purpose to drive MTX sales.
10k is not a lot. Maybe in the first couple hours when you have zero need of them but by the time you need them you'll have 100k+ in like half an hour easily. They are also given out often and easily found, I had 12 sitting in storage having bought none before I needed one. The amount of misinformation in this thread by people who never actually played this one or the first one is pathetically laughable. "DAE NEW POPULAR THING SUX IM COOL FOR NOT LIKING POPULAR THING"
They were free in the previous game.
This is also probably the real reason they're taking a harder stance against mods. Within 24 hours, there's already a mod on Nexus that adds one of the items you can buy with real money to an early vendor for like 1 coin.
There's also another mod that just makes all items 1 coin, so it shouldn't be too hard for modders to just completely circumvent the bullshit mtx.
im still on that boat that believes the rumor that older management took back power from the younger management (reminder that capcom is a family ran business) after the Chun Li incident. Capcom wants to get into the business of selling game engine use but it being moddable (thus regular people can potentially stain an image of a game) may hurt its adoption.
"in a truly immersive fantasy world"
Micro transactions are there to help make you feel like more of a peasant I guess.
Only thing actually rare are the fast travel items. Everything else on the list you can get within the first four hours of playing the game. The real dumb shit is the new game decision, the character creator demo gave you five save slots so why does the game only have one?!
Obviously rarely enough that they expect people to pay for them.
That's... a lot of DLC for a game that hasn't been out for not even a day.
I know the answer is money, but these should really be part of the base game.
A lot of "downloadable content" for a game that requires an internet connection to play. A lot of "downloadable content" that allegedly already exists in-game. Studio execs need to be fired for this shit
Oh my God
Well, guess I'll pass on this one yall
Sounds like that shit is gonna stay out of my steam library forever lmfao
