Microtransactions are still a bad practice.
You can feel that way. I say single player games are the wrong place to rail against them. Complain about people in MMOs that are actively ruining other people's fun by paying to skip then having no idea how to play their character and wasting other people's time.

Remember expansions? Those were nice. Single player games being playable offline as well.

No, actually I don't remember expansions. This is Capcom, remember? They've been re-releasing games and making you buy it all over if you wanted new content since the SNES. How many iterations of Street Fighter 2 are there, now? Dark Arisen was an entire standalone purchase as well, not dlc for Dragon's Dogma.

SF2 rerelease DLC would be a thing to behold but it's not gonna happen with the Yakuza-SEGA example of pseudo port.
The Stetchkov Syndicate is more my speed, if you decide to explore the concept. Capcom is not setting a high water mark with the DLC or Denuvo, but they do have people paying attention to how they are presenting their product -hence why the single savefile limitation is sheepishly treated like an oversight, despite being quite deliberate (see MH players talking about this creeping in since World or so.)

Any defense for denuvo or troons? Because letting DLC slide gets you into Ubisoft Asscreed territory with in-game XP systems and along with EA-SWBF2, it seems AAA development takes these practices as a combo.

Was Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen a bad game? If you had no interest in the BBI content it was a 40 dollars for unlimited fast travel. Denuvo sucks, nobody is arguing it doesn't. It just makes far more sense to complain about actual issues that impact things rather than ways for fools who have no intention of actually playing the game to be parted with their money. If someone is going to pay for less gameplay that's on them. Complaining about being able to buy things available ingame by playing the game is like complaining that you can get buy battlepasses in Helldivers by paying real money for super credits rather than earning them ingame.

Well, DD2 is apparently just the original game but with all of the 1/3 of extra content that the original had to cut, so people are paying $70 to get a game they already own. It simply got a coat of paint, all of two save slots (one auto and one inn), no real way to start a new game due to cloud saving, even more mtx, no fov slider, and serious performance issues on anything but the most recent hardware.

Time spent criticizing issues people find to be problems, small or big, is time well spent.
Ignoring small problems because they happen to not be as big as other problems only leads to the smaller problems becoming bigger problems down the line.

Right now it's microtransactions for people who have no intention to play the game. Next thing you know more features that were standard become microtransactions. Suddenly you need to pay $70 for a game that has less features than a PS2 game. And when that happens, guess what? The problem doesn't stop, now there's a new problem that's "small", but since it's small we should just ignore it, right? So on, so on down the rabbit hole of lame.

Issues are issues. They should be criticized regardless of if it's a "small thing", or if it's a "big thing".

If you want to ignore it, feel free to do so. Others won't, and that's not an issue for you to decide for them on.

I simply think it generates a ridiculous signal:noise ratio in terms of how directly impactful the problems are.
Problems are problems. If you leave problems unchecked, they don't stay small problems but become bigger problems. If we focused on only talking about big problems, we'd be in an eternal struggle of not only talking about which big problem is the biggest, but also never getting to talk about the smaller problems.

All problems should and will be talked about. You're free to talk about which problems you find more important, but others are free to talk about whatever problem they find worth talking about.

No. It makes sense to speak up when you are not only paying full price and not getting what you paid for in full, but getting less content in return and being shown to pay more money to get these useless things(which if they can be earned, why put a DLC in the 1st place?). Imagine the product you paid 60$ is now being sold for 10$ more at full price now being 70$. This is done with promises of the game having less problems, more content, and definitely not suffering from game breaking issues. Now DD2 is the reverse of this made very cheap and extremely low budget, and not only giving you "essential items" to reverse a problem that they made themselves, but it feels like they did not care about the final product but more about how much MTX they can put on you as a whole. A lot of us here like Dragon's Dogma we want Dragons Dogma to succeed, but nobody should be trying to accept a lower standard than what the original game came out with. We want Dragon's Dogma but not like this and made so poorly that feels like it's less than the original.

Also Helldivers and Dragons Dogma can not be compared. Helldivers is GAAS and relies heavily on the monetization, Dragons Dogma is a Single Player game in which yes the majority of the DLC can be earned in the game. But i think what makes this more egregious is the DLC feels like it's to help a problem that is not there, can you imagine if Capcom decides to make it harder to farm RC in the main game, and then sells you RC you have to buy instead? Because that is what it looks like if they get away with this. Unless Capcom is planning to turn DD2 into a GAAS the whole time.

Hopefully someone makes a "grounded gransys" mod, or whatever the fuck its name is in dd2, at least delete from the game files that awful catturd zoomer hairstyle they put on every black videogame character

No loli policy, put furry on game cover art, have denuvo and terrible microtransactions. Oh and adopting ESG and letting wokers boss them around.

Yeah, I'm okay not playing this. I'm not sure if I want to pirate this even if they inevitably remove denuvo years later.

So far with mods they have been saving the game. I did notice on Nexus there is things like
A. Shorter characters(which should have been in the game) and it turns out it's an issue with the Engine if it goes to 4'9 hitbox wise.
B. Performance fixes
C. More hairstyles
D. DLC unlocks
Honestly at this point i am either going to wait for a 50-60% off and purchase or pirate the game depending on how Capcom handles this. Because honestly it's sad Modders are fixing things Capcom should be doing.

Dude i agree with you. The game is not worth full price at all. Denuvo + CPU limitations on top is tanking this game.

Crapcom just can't help themselves as always trying to recreate the dark ages of the early 2010s.
Street Fighter 6 was the warning Capcom would be heading down that dark path. Good luck with the Global Audience Capcom they are going to need it when all of us just decide to buy from other companies and play the older games.

Thing is tho, new gen soy infused crapcom fans would find things like even the older fucking games as problematic i mean theres already a subsection of sjws who want to santizie and ban and cancel older media.
