At least we’re seeing some pushback to them doing it, even though I know it wont stop them.
It didn’t even sit well with me that RE4 Remake had mtx. I know it’s stuff you can get easily in game but it feels about 1 step away from games becoming more and more grindy so as to “encourage” more people to buy it.
If we’re going to slam a company like Blizzard or whomever for injecting MTX into their paid game, then I think it fair to hold other mega corporations to the same standard. Especially if these purchases are non essential. To me its even worse, because they’re preying on ignorance or convenience, in a single player game : the very same thing Ubisoft caught flack for in their Assassin’s Creed games.
Excusing one company for their crappy practices while condemning another is just some “team sports” nonsense.
Tell that to these copy and paste crybabies all day.
People gave billions of dollars to Rockstar for fricken’ shark cards. Absolutely no company in their right mind would give up trying to discover a way to repeat that success.
The transactions aren’t at all needed in the game. The game isn’t any more grindy than the first game. You’ll find everything you need if you just play the game. Like Shark cards, the transactions are just a quicker easier route to success.
Yea so it’s a non issue.
Need to paste this article into every morons post whining about the micro transactions
If you’re whining about them you have zero clue what they are and shouldn’t be speaking on it
Welcome to Capcom 101
Where they sell you a lot of DLC that becomes horrifiyingly useless the more and more time you sink into a game (Reminder that in DMC5 you can buy millions of Red Orbs….in which it becomes useless the moment you unlock the Faust hat and absolutely milk enemies for millions of red orbs), or even worse with DMC4 and there being the option to buy your way into Dante Must Die and Heaven/ Hell or/and Hell difficulties the second you boot up a fresh copy of your game….which they are unlocked if you beat Son of Sparda and DMD respectivaly
But yeah, its kinda sad to see them still trying to stick with their absurd practices
This is a good thing. Microstransactions should be a tax on the lazy or vain, not the only way to experience the complete games.
Yes. In DMC you can buy red orbs. All capcoms mtx are baffling.
Capcom has been doing it for fucking more than a decade, the only reason this get blowed out of proportion is because some idiots decide they want some attention with their “justice for gamers” cringe ass mindset. If you don’t agree with it, don’t buy it, plain and simple. The game isn’t so hard to grind that the mtx can bring much advantages anyway. I’m not even a fan of Capcom but the whining marathon is getting fucking annoying
Can’t you just not buy them?
But when Helldivers 2 does it it’s completely fine because “you can earn them in-game and the devs are saints”
They may be silly, but their existence made me decide to not purchase the game.
Guys its not hard to just not buy them lmao
If the MTX are bafflingly silly, then so is the community’s reaction to them given that nearly all of the items can be found in the game without too much trouble.
And here I am, not only completely and utterly unsurprised, but also unbothered by them. DMC 5 anyone? Also had a bunch of stupid, pointless microtransactions that you could totally ignore. Same lead developer.
They’ve put me off buying the game completely, don’t care that they aren’t necessary.
The biggest fuck you to consumers is that one has to jump through multiple hoops to start a new character. Like, how is that shit not included
Yeah, but why would sit for a minute to read and miss some juicy karma ?
The big for us is not being able to have multiple characters.
Its a farily common Capcom thing.
DmC 5 had, the last Deus Ex had and Monster Hunter World had some.
Its nothing new. It, of course, remains infuriating and obnoxious as ever.
Especially since most of them aren’t hard to find, besides the teleporter.
Isn’t this a single-player game?
… So they are easily unlockable without too much trouble?
How the hell is that a negative. People usually complain that you need to grind and thus are forced to use money. Well this is the opposite.
I’ve literally got 0 issues with these MTX’s because you can literally just ignore them if you want.
Welcome to Capcom
If it’s all reasonably achievable in game, then who cares. This seems to be for people that have the money but not the time and want to be able to experience more of the game. This kind of micro transaction has been around for a while and is pretty innocuous. Save your ire for companies that lock content created during primary game development behind micro transactions or stuff that unbalances multiplayer. This is stupid outrage for people that need to be mad about something all the time.
Can’t wait
There is a fun game you guys should play. It’s called Spot the Hypocrite.
It’s simple. When you see someone being super aggressive about this games MTX take a look at their profile real quick. I’ve been doing this today and it can be hysterical. Someone talking about how MTX is evil and they won’t be buying DD2…and then they go play (insert game that is significantly worse with MTX here).
A fair amount of what we are seeing here is legitimately bad faith bullshit. It’s easy karma to get on the soapbox and act outraged by this. A lot of the people screaming they won’t buy this are actively engaged with games that are far worse. This community in a nutshell I guess.
Then why complain? If someone wants to buy the convenience let them. If you don’t like the idea of it then.. don’t do it.
The arguments people will use to defend MTX in a full price, completely singleplayer game, is funny.
If you don’t say nothing now, don’t complain when they’re charging us for magazine reloads in a FPS as EA wanted to do
