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.

    Fuck, really? I mean, I’m not like a die-hard fan of the game(s) or anything, but the first one is still pretty enjoyable. And it’s $5 on steam.

    And it’s a totally complete game, with an in-game barber/character customizer. You can’t change your character’s body type though, only the hair and skin colors/styles.

      You can buy the MTX items InGame at the vendors. Still shitty to have the MTX but yea…

        If you can do it with in-game earnable currency that’s a bit different.

        Tbh I haven’t heard that that’s the case, but I also haven’t gone looking.

          They already said you could, but at least in the first one it was an end game/post game item to edit your character. You can check the news tab for the game on steam.
