What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

Yeah I get it, I would never pay for microtransactions. I'm enjoying the game so far. I used mods to get all 999 of the items they sell so I don't have to be bothered. It runs well enough on my system so imma keep enjoying it. I'll leave a negative review for yall

Seems like it's just being accurately reviewed. How else are companies supposed to learn this is not okay?

Publishers at the slightest inconvenience: We are getting review bombed.

I'm going to be angry about microtransaction once the game actually runs. A 5800X3D and 7900XT should not be getting 20 - 40 FPS with medium settings at 1440p.

I got it refunded. I'll play it in a couple years after all of the patches and when I have a new gpu
