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.

Wowwwww that is noxious. Maybe I’ll check it out in 5 years, but for now this is a hard pass.

I was so hyped for this game too. The original had something special if a little underdeveloped. I was excited to see if they could make it bloom.

Guess not anyway
