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.

    I don’t know exactly how true this is, but I read in another thread that you can’t even delete your save and start over

      I’ve read that you can start over. But not in any kind of sensible in game way.

      You have to completely delete all of the game’s files off your computer and steam cloud

      You have to start from a fresh install every time

        Maybe they’ll sell a microtransaction that allows people to start over.

          I was joking around but I just read that is literally true, what the hell?

            No, it’s not literally true. There’s an MTX to re-customize your character (not start a new game), which seems to be an option in-game too but maybe later or maybe it’s expensive.

            I hate having to “defend” these MTX but everyone is misrepresenting what’s going on…
