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.

    You are being downvoted for defending this shit. Fact is you can buy fast travel options with real money. I dont care if you can unlock it for free too. The fact that a single player rpg has mtx is terrible and completely destroys all immersion when you csn open a shop to pay with real money.

      Am I defending it? I’m correcting a factually incorrect statement. It sucks it’s for sale, but the fact of the matter is it is available in the game. The first game it wasn’t for sale and worked the same way.

      I don’t think it breaks immersion though. I don’t get that. Do you think about how much you paid for the game while playing it? It can feel bad, but immersion breaking? It shouldn’t be for sale though regardless.
