[@Kronx1970]

The big No for me on the game is not being able to start a new game. I'm fine with being locked to just one campaign/story, but not being able to delete that and start a new one is the reason I chose to not buy the game. With some games, I need to play them a bit to learn their different systems. Some games take me a bit longer than others. But there's always a moment when the systems "click" for me. And generally when that happens, I start fresh again. I did it with BG3 because I had never played D&D before. Again, I'm fine with being limited to just one, but not letting me delete that one and start over is crazy to me. So when I think about that sort of design decision I suspect there are other design decisions they've made that's not going to be my cup of tea either. I knew BG3 set some new standards, but I never thought in 2024 I need to start asking the question from upcoming games of "Can I start a new game after I started one?" But here we are.

Capcom have been doing the whole 'single-player cheat microtransactions' thing for a while now and it has not caused them much harm in the past. They did this in Monster Hunter World, RE remakes, DMC5, probably other games I'm forgetting, and yes even the original Dragon's Dogma (in fact what they offered there was worse IMO) in case people forgot. And yet all those games have glowing praise. The real issue is the performance, the cash shop stuff is just something else to complain about. You wouldn't even be hearing about the microtransactions nearly as much if people were able to run the actual game to a decent degree. As with those other Capcom games, if people are actually able to play and the game quality is good, people really do not care that much about the microtransactions.

Well....I have a differing opinion on how good it is. I means aside from the obvious things mentioned in the video (Performance, no new game, and an unnecessary cash shop) I find that the game doesn't really do anything different than other games in this genre. I certainly wouldn't call it a RPG, but rather an action adventure game with RPG elements. The pawn system, while a cool concept, seems to be more of a long term problem because it seems to be tied to so many of the limitations of the game. The Brine is nothing more than an invisible wall that eats your pawns and anything that they carry (including quest items that you need) and they don't seem to be smart enough to stay out of the damn water! Combat is fun in the beginning but after your 400th goblin, 1000th wolf and 20th mini boss it all starts to become a bit monotonous. I feel like I've done the main story quest a million times and it was done better in other games and quite frankly, the story narrative just doesn't grab me like others in other games have. All in all, I won't say it's a bad game, because it does have it's moments and it is a beautiful game. The character creator is second to none and deserves some kind of award for that alone. I do think that the cash shop issue is being blown out of proportion because I've never even opened it up and never will and am doing fine. I think that performance will be addressed sooner or later and they already seem to be looking into the no new game issue. My biggest problem is the game's lack of "soul", if you will. Instead of playing it I am on KZbin talking about it and usually when a game grabs me, I don't come back to KZbin for days or weeks because I'm too busy playing. The game just hasn't grabbed me and to me that's the biggest red flag of all.

While I see many people saying that Capcom's comment about looking into ways to "improve performance in the future" seems to sound like they don't care, or that it is a low priority, I think that is incorrect. I truly believe, due to the nature of what is *causing* the performance issue, they honestly have *no idea* how to address it with any actually significant improvement. It is CPU bound because it is linked to nothing graphical at all, but entirely centered in the NPC AI and systems. A core component of the game, at a very deep level. They flat out have no clue how to fix it without castrating something they are proud of... *yet.* That "yet" is a keyword here. Enough time and money can improve any code. Sometimes minorly only, sometimes majorly. Usually with some optimization the minor increases are doable, but significant changes almost always require a complete rethinking of how the process happens. Major re-design takes time. I am fairly certain it will improve. And significantly, but in stages. But then I am the guy that advises people who are very performance oriented to wait 6 months to a year after any game's release, while those of us that are less stressed by performance issues to basically beta test for them.

The cash shop can be 100% ignored. It isn't multiplayer, so there's no "anticheat". Complaining about actual issues that exist, like the performance, is a valid point of view, even when some don't agree. "I don't like it because of this thing that actually affects me" makes sense.

Shop is on the people who bought the game. It states in the information about the bundle that you can get these items ingame. If you pay 80 bucks read what you get and not just click on it. The performance, just 1 savefile and bad communication about nothing of this are the problems.

I agree, since the game itself is actually very good and very faithful to dd1.

It's a good game, and it's everything I needed it to be. It finally fleshed out what dd1 was trying to be. With that said, it's disappointing that for a lot of people, the performance of the game is wanky at some points. I hope that gets fixed. The no new game was an extremely poor decision on their part and needs to be added. The microtransactions are honestly not that bad. Everything is attainable by simply playing, and it can honestly be ignored. I guess for some people, it's the principle, but ultimately, it's not pay to win.

I personally don't care too much either way but do think the existence of this is appalling and I will not purchase anything in their cashshop. Though I would spent money on cosmetics if there was a transmog-type system in the game but thats a different topic. I wouldn't leave a negative review myself because of it but accept the opinion of players who find this bad enough for a negative review. The item needed to allow appearance modification for example wouldn't have to exists. The barber charges gold for every other option and should charge gold for that too. The item can be bought in-game for RC and the grind for RC is not bad in my humble opinion. But some players feel it is grindy and they don't like that grind so they see the cash-shop as a solution. This is exactly the type of customer Capcom is aiming at. Capcom could easily not have the item, and even give more RC to players during the game and have more ways to earn it if they are so concerned players with little time find it hard to earn RC. Its a single player game after all, so why not! Capcom created this problem to begin with just so they can add the cash-shop "solution". Any excuse, like, "its optional", or "you can only buy it one time" is exactly what Capcom is counting on.

[@paulmapp8306]

Im an engineer - though nothing to do with gaming, and i am getting on at nearly 57 years old.... It does seem like game designers build games that look and work great on their systems but not on most people who play them. I dont know what this is capable of yet BUT to me, top end consoles (known hardware) along with top end PCs (at this point 4080ti GPU and best CPU) should be able to run with graphics maxed out, at 4k, WIHTOUT dropping below 30 FPS. Next Gen PCs down (3080ti and corresponding CPU) should be able to do the same at 1440, and the next gen down (2080ti plus relative CPU) should be able to do the same at 1080p. If you then want higher frame rates (or resolution if not on a top end system) you compromise your graphics quality - BUT 30FPS is perfectly reasonable. HOWEVER, it MUST NEVER drop below that 30fps at full graphics on those systems. that seems perfectly reasonable to me. I am running a 3070ti and AMD 5900x (I do have 64GB of 3600 RAM - as I use the OPC for audio work too). I Game at 1440. I have some graphics at full, others at min and some int he middle. I have yet to fall below 44 FPS - BUt Ive yet to hit a city (only 5 hours in). Im expecting a huge drop below 30 FPS when I do, which will likely see me stop playing the game - though there are some graphics settings Im prepared to lower a little more to achieve 30 fps if I need to, though Id be loathed to go to 1080p

The MTX issue is being blown way out of proportion to the point of straight misinformation. While it is absolutely dumb and definitely insidious to have them in the first place, they absolutely do not affect game progression at all. RE4make and DMC5 also sold these worthless DLC packs to bait misinformed or lazy players into buying. This isn't an Ubisoft situation where they made their games RPGs to straight sell XP boosters and premium equipment to make the grind bearable. The performance of the game was expected as they were telling everyone pre release that it's 30 uncapped. But NASA computers not being able to run the game at a consistent 60fps means the game is just not optimized at all. And not being able to restart the game is mind blowing. I made a preset character to get a feel for the game before I started work, only to find out later that I was stuck with it until I reached a certain point. I'm all for having an auteur director having a vision, but that is just really stupid.

[@TKVirusman]

I'm gonna give a controversial take here as someone who has been playing constantly since release on an RTX 2080; The performance is not the best I've seen in a new release but also very respectable on my (yes it objectively is) near obsolete hardware considering how good it looks. New games aren't made for people with 10 year old setups, fact. The save thing is VERY sus and frankly a bit insane however there is a very simple workaround of maybe... deleting the file? It's not like restarts are impossible to do even on consoles. The cash shops is honestly not surprising and I can almost guarantee came from Capcom pressure and not from dev intentions. It's also really not that deep, barely affects gameplay and can be ignored as all bullshit cash shops should be. Vote with your wallet always. All in all besides my personal issues of no hard mode and vocations missing that were available in DD1, both of which will very likely be fixed in either free or payed DLC, the game is fucking excellent and I am going to encourage everyone I know, especially DD1 fans, to play it when they can.

Capcom has ALREADY done this in the past with RE4, offering to buy in game weapon upgrades for real world money. This is how we end up with John Riccitello's "let's sell the player more bullets" ideas. Accepting these practices is hurting gaming. It doesn't matter if you don't buy from the shop.

Well, people aren't buying them at the end of the game. They aren't expected to. Capcom's expectation is that people will buy them at the start, when they shouldn't have them.

Yes micros suck and it would be great if they all went away but that's clearly not happening. This is far from the worst way to implement them. The game is single player and completely playable without them. I'm not saying the game perfect. The performance issues and lack of new game options are unacceptable. I'm just saying everyone clutching their pearls over this game having a cash shop while ignoring others seems odd.

Imo, the only reason why Capcom can get away with this, is coz they still make good games. The moment they pull a Bethesda, or Blizzard, people are gonna leave in droves.

This game is exactly what I expected. I run a 12.9k/3070 on a 2510x108 and I haven't had any trouble graphically. Nobody has offered me any fast travel for dollars. I wish I could start a new character though. That's a pain in the ass.

A lot of Capcom games have a cash shop. This isn't new. The items you can buy are readily available in the game. Companies are going to try and make money, that's a fact. Just like you will make content that you know will earn your income. Dwelling on this stuff is completely pointless and just creates a toxic environment. The best thing you can do (as you said) is not buy them like I have always done. It isn't pay to win. Let's say there is someone who has very limited time to play but has higher expendable income so to make the most of their time playing they use these facilities. Nothing wrong with that, they earned that money so can spend it how they wish. Honestly the outrage people have over companies doing what they are designed to do is asinine when you can just ignore it. I love your content but when half of your video is basically complaining about something that's easily ignored by anyone who doesn't want to use it actually disappoints me. It has no actual impact on the game unless you go out of your way and choose to make it an issue. Its a massive nothing burger.
