Can you read? Serious question. I am not taking about this reviewer as I already mentioned. They weren’t the only one, there are multiple which are probably like 100 reviewers who played this game before release and very few made a mention about the micro transactions and some were also a little surprised about it. Your intent doesn’t matter if you can’t show it well, whatever you’re posting definitely looks like you don’t mind this behaviour and were should stop criticising it. It is 110% fine to criticise something you love, if you don’t then you’re biased and your opinion won’t be taken seriously. Also you don’t have to defend a shitty corpo decision if that’s what you’re doing, definitely seems like it anyway.
Timthetech is justified in calling out dishonest commentaries. Timthetech is just saying call a spade a spade and be honest if you are going to complain about it.
" Out of the 25 English language reviews of Dragon’s Dogma 2‘s PC version on Metacritic, only two mention the microtransactions.
It’s worth pointing out that both of these reviewers (from XboxEra and TouchArcade) said they didn’t find it necessary to purchase the paid DLC to enjoy the game.
Despite this, players have the right to know exactly what they’re getting when they buy a full-priced title. And if a game deliberately holds content back so it can be offered as paid DLC, that may be a dealbreaker for some.
Given that Capcom informed gaming outlets that Dragon’s Dogma 2 would include microtransactions, it is unclear why so many failed to highlight it."
The article lays it out why timthetech is right to call out bad arguments.
Ill bet you money timthetechs opinion IS restricted to this one specific event not the game release itself.
No? As I already mentioned multiple times, I am not taking about this article. The original comment is about something entirely and it’s not my fault if you and him didn’t get it. No one here is arguing in bad faith, simply correcting him on his assumption.
Worse. Not sure about micro transactions but the dlc was released on day 2 with no prior information or heads up. Truly scum of earth behavior.
These are your words, and have been proven to be false. To continue to double down on misinformation is to argue in bad faith. Also, the fact you didn’t even know the “DLC” is the micro transactions tells me you never even played the game, and are purely regurgitating talking points you heard someone else make. And you are doing so without any fact checking at all. It was also ALL on the store page pre-release, but because you need to go out of your way to even know the useless micro-transactions exist, it got turned into this whole secret conspiracy. And the internet loves manufactured drama, unfortunately.
In the end it’s a loss for anyone buying into the misinformation missing out on a pretty great game that makes this whole thing kind of a bummer. But I guess that is the state of things in 2024, misinformation > the truth.
Mate what are you on about. I literally admitted I got the date wrong and you are literally ignoring and twisting my words to your wish. Go ahead assuming shit just to cause drama, I am not gonna bother with this redditor argument anymore.
