Glad I didn’t preorder. Gonna hope for the pc modding community to unfuck the game
Why are you guys pre-ordering. That behavior enables this type of greed. Promise me you won’t pre-order a game ever again, okay? I don’t care how cool that cheap plastic toy and paper map stuffed in a tin can looks. No more!
Nah, I’m gonna keep preordering games I know I’ll like
Oh fuck them!
The more I read, the more shocked I am.
They put out a damage control statement today saying that you can find these items in game too. Sounds like they’re rare though.
That’s… a lot of DLC for a game that hasn’t been out for not even a day.
I know the answer is money, but these should really be part of the base game.
Sounds like that shit is gonna stay out of my steam library forever lmfao
What was Capcom thinking?
That nerds would bitch and moan and cry then buy it like they always do. Which is exactly what happened.
They added this shit after the reviews and shit came out and said it didn’t have any of this garbage though, so it’s a bit unfair.
I literally took that screenshot right before I made the post. Right this second it’s still the number 1 seller on steam.
Many of us preordered because at least for me day 1 performance issues don’t bother me. I loved dragons dogma and knew pretty much no matter what I wanted to play this.
Hiding that you have micro transactions until release day is just bullshit. I don’t know if that knowledge would have kept me from buying it though. Fast travel so far is pretty much non-existent as the ferry stones are super rare…
Many of us preordered
Never pre-order. Never. Just don’t fucking do it.
I’s bad for you and everyone else who buys video games.
I get what you mean, but 99.9% of the time I’m buying it day one anyway so they get me with the dumb trinkets they throw at you for pre-ordering lol
I get what you mean, but 99.9% of the time I’m buying it day one anyway
Well, no one is saying you can’t buy it on day one, just don’t buy it on day minus one.
On the day it comes out you can just check some reviews first and then reaffirm your decision to buy, or you may hear about something you weren’t aware of, and then decide not to buy.
Also by doing this, you help all your other fellow gamers, by diminishing the importance of the pre-order and the shenanigans that go with it.
Capcom continually hamstringing themselves. With this and Street Fighter 6 having 100 dollar costume sets they can fuck all the way off. I expect RE9 to let you buy ammo for cash.
I mean, the RE4make let you buy weapon upgrades with cash, DMC 5 let you just buy all the currencies in game directly, I don’t even know where to begin with Monster Hunter World’s microtransactions. It’s shitty, but Capcom does this in literally all of their games now, so absolutely you’ll see dumb mtx in RE9 and Monster Hunter Rise.
i got made fun of when i said microtransactions were a slippery slope and this was gonna end up happening
The thing with microtransactions is that people actually buy it. And it makes gobs of money. We don’t deserve full games.
Whales buy it. For every 1,000 fans upset by this decision there is 1 fan who is rich enough that spending $1,000 on the game is nothing. A lot of these aggressive monetization schemes aren’t meant to make money on the average player.
