I probably would have bought it already if it wasn’t for the price, the difficulty deleting your one save slot to try all classes and the micro transactions on fast travel.
2 out of 3 of those are bad publisher decisions /greed. You have to wonder if the loss of customers is worth the higher cost and micro transactions.
the difficulty deleting your one save slot to try all classes
Did they change how it works from the first game where you could just switch your class at literally any time at the inn? 🤔
Micro transactions on fast travel
That’s optional. The things you use for FT are also sold at the in-game shops using the in-game currency. You just also have the option to spend real money and get them without grinding.
The only real issue with the MTX is that they literally dropped it into the game the day of launch. Even review copies didn’t have it, so it was a bit misleading. But it’s done the same way as RE4’s.
I will always disagree with the “its optional” reasoning.
In this case they are technically selling a shortcut to their own game. This means the game either have some boring and straight up tedious mechanics on purpose, to annoy people or its shit. In both cases its a bad game design and people who will buy the fast travel MTX would want to skip certain parts of the gameplay - in this case backtracking or travelling in general.
I am a huge fan of the first game, but repeating the fast travel shenanigans on purpose, after so many years of feedback from fans is just corporate greed 101.
After the announcement I thought DD2 will be a day 1 purchase, but Im glad I waited and from the looks of it I will continue to wait for a few more years for a complete edition for 20 USD or just not play it at all.
