Lets not forget that Denuvo is cancerous in conjunction with graphically intensive games, it just ruins the experience for everyone.

Honestly, Capcom doesn’t deserve to get mad if anyone starts pirating the game.

Completely hammered on steam. They shot themselves in the foot. Game might be good, but ticking off steam reviewers easily lost them sales.

Charlie(penguinz0) could not even play the game. He refunded and said he wont even bother buying on console. Crazy

"semi fine on console" cries in 26 fps

Game companies try not release unfinished games (IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE)

Ah, Fallout New Vegas. Glad you got that classic as background gameplay.

8:55 "yOu DoNt HaVe To BuY iT, iTs OpTiOnAl" I've been around these types of internet gaming debates way too often and too often I hear these shills use that awful argument/excuse for developers to milk their game dry with predatory business practices. W Optimus tbh for calling them out as well. These are the many examples of arguments/excuses I heard from these shills: "jUsT dOnT bUy ThEm" "bUT tHE dEvS nEeD mOnEy" "mUh FrEe UpDaTeS" "yOu ArE eNtItLeD" "yOu JuSt WaNt EvErYtHiNg FoR fReE" "tHe DeVs ArE a SmAlL cOmPaNy" "pVe GaMeS cAn'T bE pAy To WiN" "yOu HaVe No IdEa HoW bUsInEsS wOrKs" The list goes on.

While I haven't seen much of the actual game and it's performance, there is NO EXCUSE for singleplayer games to have microtransactions especially when its already a 70 dollar game.

>single player game >remove features in all single player rpgs since 1990 >sell them back

What's very disturbing how none of the reviewers mentioned the microtransactions. Some warned about the performance but no mentions of microtransactions

Yes you can find the gaol keys in game for free, but I bet they'd be a lot more plentiful if there was no online shop, and that's the problem with "It's just cosmetics" or "You can find them for free" because it does effect game design.

The absolute worst part is not the microtransactions, it's the fact there was absolutely no mention of the microtransactions until the game actually released by which time it was too late to cancel preorders and might not have been noticed by people buying it when it became available.

What gets me the most is that the devs talked about the lack of fast travel systems in the game and how it was detrimental to the game. Yet here they sell fast travel crystals and such i the game. Not only is that hypocritical, but it makes you wonder how much of the game was developed around these microtransactions. And you can't trust publishers and developers to make good decisions that have the consumers best interest in mind. They have their profits and margins in mind.

Could have been praised like Elden ring but nope, greed had to get involved. Not a good look for capCON

Im from an era where we want to earn the stuff we use in a game not buy the stuff. Thats cheesy

By the way the dlc doesn't even work consistently yet

It’s a death by a thousand cuts, poor performance, MTX implementation, NO NEW GAME option and lack of proper manual saves. And an even worser mechanic known as Dragonsplague that can nuke your entire progress. Thanks Cashcom, you just returned back to your old roots again, how quaint.

Just because it's optional in one game, it could be necessary or essential in a different game, it started off with horse armor and no one thought nothing of it. If something isn't said about it now, it'll get worse because they'll just let every inch that others give them and stretch it further to justify more predatory practices.

Can't wait until this game hits 7.99

To think i was being attacked for saying how bad the game looked performance wise 😂 "B-but game of the year! 🤓☝️"

Its important to understand the difference bwtween GPU and CPU. This game has tons and tons of real time simulation going on at once. Physics on cloth, items, characters of many sizes at different places, pathing for all NPCs in x area. I hate denuvo, but it's also simply due to how real simulation works in general.

These companies and politicians are getting extremely greedy and disrespectful and im really getting upset about it

2024 is not looking good.

As a DD1 fan I have alot of gripes with this game. It's way too short and way too small. In vernwurth it was fine things were going at a good pace. The moment you get to the second area the game just throws away previous characters and stories and just rushes you to the end. They showed off everything in trailers, the colossus is the second last boss and they showed everything about that boss. They left no secrets to discover. It just feels like the devs just wanted to be done with this project they just didn't want to develop it anymore they just wanted to be done

The only games that can get away with 30fps are indie games and Nintendo games. Games that are on Ps5, Xbox and Pc NEED to be 60fps. There’s no excuse especially if it’s supposed to be a graphically superior or multiplayer game

Woahh when I see 30 different DLC options in Steam it's an immediate pass for me

I didn't think I'd live to see the day of roblux practices leaking into the rest of the videogame community.

In the last couple years its become the new norm for game companies to release half baked games and they just want to make the excuse how they will fix it later. I am sorry but this is just unproffessional and irresponsible.

Don’t forget people start lying about how people weren’t mad about micro transactions for other capcom games when they were, it’s just capcom didn’t add them until weeks after launch while for this game it was at launch. This game is just poorly optimized for console and pc.

Optimus you did zero research. In game vendors sell for gold char and pawn change. Or RC which is gotten by killing enemies, looting chests, and people using your pawn. You didnt play the game. Everything they sell to you is farmable in game. Just like DD1. You walking by those vendors is your fault. Ignorance abound.

I can't even continue my game anymore, everyone is attacking me for no reason and I can't do anything about it. Going to jail doesn't solve anything.

You have no idea on how many KZfaqrs are doubling down on the "It's not that bad" narrative, some are even openly admitting to being sponsored by Crapcom to play the game and are defending it and making fun of the whole situation, disgusting!

When those April Fools issues of video game magazines become real >_>

One save file is absurd, thought this was supposed to be an RPG? What if you want to experience the game as a different character with a different build and choices? Objectively trash design.

Dang it’s that bad, huh? I don’t play it but the customer should be getting exactly what they paid for. Nothing less or substandard. At least that’s how I see it.

It boggles me that these games have the worst graphics and demand high requirements that no console or pc would have even they can run most games

Bro W background gameplay

I just refuse to pay 80 for a game that's further shoehorned in MTX

Unrelated to the current video, but... Optimus, you ever going to admit how wrong you and many others were about DarkViperAU? Or are you all just gonna sweep that under the rug and pretend like that never happened?

Basically they made a great game that has horrible performance best wait for a few patches.

In my opinion, micro transactions are fine, but I will say this micro transactions only should be applied to things that are not base game necessities character creation is a base game necessity that should not be behind a pay wall Edit: ✍️ taking notes

Alright back to helldivers

I said this same thing when they drop dmc5 and had an option to buy red orbs. And so did other people. People don’t seem to understand what a trickle down effect is.

I really enjoy the game it’s so sad how many bugs it has, I wish Triple A companies were better. Im Just glad Most people enjoy the story and gameplay and recognizes its goods, but the game is so poorly optimized😭. I hope the directors get their comeback, bc this is so sad to see. MoistCritcal was having a literal meltdown about it.

one save per character is fine, no multiple characters and no new game option is asinine. Combined with poor performance and microtransactions, this is *not* sitting at the cool kid's table with Larian and FromSoft

Why would you buy an unfinished, micro transaction filled game when you can buy helldivers 2?

Did you not play DDDA? Yeah gaol (it’s jail bro) keys(skeleton in ddda) were craftable.

I stand here on Monday morning exhausted because I put 40 hours into this game since Friday 😂

To play devils advocate, the “micro transactions” are actually just the deluxe edition items repackaged to buy individually that’s why most of the stuff you can only buy once. So if they do that is that not okay? Still the other stuff is inexcusable

Getting sick and tired of seeing the word 'disappointed" i think im conditioned to being let down so much the word is making me irrationally angry. This is a very strange psychological phenomenon.

I bet when optimization is a problem, there is most likely DRM on the game, obviously....and here we gamers thought they stopped that since the beginning of XBox One's lifecycle.

Can't relate. It runs perfectly for me at 120fps with the highest-quality settings and I haven't noticed any crashes, glitches, or any other issues of that nature. I also haven't really looked at the game store but I don't think you need any of that stuff. The rss you have mentioned so far at 8:33 are pretty easy to get.

Why are there so many big corpo stans? They exist to do one thing, give customers what they want. If they don't, complain and hold their feet to the fire. If you don't like their practices, make it known. They're not people and you don't owe them anything.

Dragon plague is the main problem rn, it is the reason why they added micro transactions

Ive been looking forward to this since 2016. The first gm slapped. 8/10 only things id even consider bad is a lack of music when walking around and the drop off in graphics here and there. Im otherwise happy with my purchase. (On console)

Didn’t realize how lucky I was to play it on PC with no bugs and crashes. Been loving this game so far and can’t wait to play more.

This whole attitude of, “Well you don’t _have_ to pay for the microtransactions.”, is the exact kind of attitude that publishers directly benefit from. The reason we see all these greedy practices in modern video games is because of tolerance. People _tolerate_ having microtransactions in full priced games. They purchase the game, and they choose to play it in spite of these nickle-and-dime tactics existing within the game, with the game’s store. What many seem to fail to understand is that _this_ is the cause of the normalization of greed in gaming. They think that just because they’re not overtly supporting a business strategy means they’re not contributing to its normalization, but that’s wrong. By supporting the platform upon which these monetization schemes, you are giving them an environment in which to thrive. And there will be others who come along, see the game being hyped up and talked about by other people, and buy into it themselves. And some of those people will be the type to support the microtransactions. You have to remember that most of these microtransaction offers are a zero-sum gain for the publisher. It costs them almost nothing to create, and thus even if few people pay for them it will ultimately, _always_ be a profit for them. They lose nothing by leaving them in the game. It is only when people choose to not support the game itself, when they don’t hand over the $60 or $70 that make up the costs for producing the game, that a publisher will react accordingly. You can’t hurt microtransactions directly, you have to do it through a secondary source, the thing which gives life to and sustains them. But people won’t do that. They will continue to buy games regardless of whatever scummy business practices they partake in, and they’ll choose to enjoy the game without them. It’s happened with many other games in the past, and it’ll most likely be the case with this game, too. This is why it’s so easy for other studios to fall into the allure of implementing microtransactions: because history shows that they can get away with it. The same thing applies to other issues people have with modern video games like broken launches. People get outraged over something like Cyberpunk releasing in an unplayable state, but what happens after that? They choose to wait for patches to come and for the game to get fixed, and they buy and play it anyway. It’s the same thing as before, where most customers choose to ignore the problems rather than respond to them. And this kind of stuff will keep happening, until this kind of attitude dies off and the gaming community takes an _actual_ stance against it.

Why are people being so dramatic about the game I get the pc issues but people are overreacting about the microtransactions

half of this is ether incompetence and greed however there is one mechanic that is just actually malice that being dragon plague who decides its a fun idea to have a game where you can't load another save until you finish the game and create a curse that kills the entire town after you sleep worst is sleep saves your game so your stuck with a ton of broken quests without any way to undo it

I've been playing the game since it came out and honestly its a good game, you dont need to buy the microtransactions for it to be playable, anything you can buy you can get in game by playing, the game is nowhere near as bad on console as it seems to be on PC, plus they've mentioned they're updating to add a new game option

Almost all the MTX on store are part of the Deluxe edition bonuses, just sold separately. Except of the portal marker, which is unnecessary as you can use maximum of 10 which all of them are in the game. MTX in this game are a "one time" purchase. That's why some are labeled as A B C... Also they are one time use. Also there are enough in the game to have the max amount. Only maximum of 10 port markers can be used, which means the "spare" one bought as MTX is useless if you find 10 in the game. Basically it is for impatient players. Even the camping tent is not the lightest in the game(there is an "Elite Camping Kit" which is 4KG). No you can't pay to start a new game... Moreover some or most people are not defending MTX/poor performance, they respond to misinformation as a result of fallcy(bad/logically wrong conclusions). So it doesn't mean the those people buy MTX or think that MTX is fine in a single player game... that's also an example of fallacy. The best solution is to not buy it. it doesn't matter how much noise people make, if there are enough people that buy MTX. Money > principles. Facts don't care about feelings and vise versa.

I bought rise of the ronin and I’m playing through it right now and everybody is shitting on it but I like it. I know it’s a watered down version of ghost of Tsushima and it’s a bland story but I’m liking the combat it feels good the way you deflect and parry looks sick imo

Casuals and Shills are an objective cancer for any fandom and actively ruin things for legitimate fans.

Rise of the Ronin it is 😅. I was gonna buy this on ps5 today but nope. One save slot and micro transactions 😕. I’m good

Voting with your wallet has never been more crucial and important then now...

i was really considering this game too, what a shame

Capcom got on my no buy list a long time ago. I was a fan of the original game but I was smart enough to figure out the stove was hot after it burned me a couple times.

This is what console has over pc , alot of games I see ppl saying they have bugs and other problems at launch or that every multiplayer game is littered with hackers I never see most of the issues ppl complain about in games on PS5 or XSS

Wow, imagine if God of War was selling endgame gear, weapons, and materials for early access... if you think that's okay, then you are the problem

While i'd love to enjoy the game as much as i loved the first Dragon's Dogma... I'm afraid i can't recomend it at the moment at least, the game itself would be actually really good and enjoyable but the performance on PC are terrible... keeps crashing each time i try to load a save, the rare times i manage to actually load a save... it crashes a few seconds after. can't even delete the character (created one quickly just to test some settings) to start over again... Capcom should have known better... it's unacceptable the state the game is at the moment

Can someone explain why it makes sense to have micro-transactions in online games vs single player? I only get micro-transactions in free to play games honestly.

Capcom just need to remove the dlc. Cheat engines are already out there for this game that give you all these dlc

i hate CAPCOM

What are you talking about? It is confirmed to run better on PC with similar specs to consoles than on consoles. Digital Foundry uploaded a video showing how the Ryzen 3600 performs 10% better than the Xbox Series X, which is the console version of the game that, at the same time, performs around 10% better than the PS5 version, and on top of that, zWORMz Gaming already tested the RTX 3060 in this game, and considering consoles are using upscalers to get to 4K, you know that best case scenario they running at 1440p, a resolution that the 3060 can handle better than consoles in this game, and I still doubt consoles are using that. Just because people are more vocal, on PC, it doesn't mean that the PC version of the game is worst than the ones you find on consoles. You just made that up for no reason what so ever.

Am I the only one who hasnt had any optimization issues and im even playing on High detail?

i just beat it....the ending is horrible

that side stuff is insane. incredible amounts of cringe

Optimism you might to learn more about , game before making video like this.

This game should get sued honestly

I never had any hopes for the new games as of late, so it's not a surprise that this is not any different

Don't forget the justification for higher game prices was because "games are more expensive to make, and if you want no microtransactions in games to compensate that, the price of video games needs to increase from $60 to $70." Yeah. We all knew that was a bold faced lie, and here is just more clear evidence of it.

strange seeing all this gaming news as someone that still only plays BO2. games used to be so good. They used to be events. Eh..maybe we just grew up

I was super hyped for this game since I loved the original but everything im seeing has killed all hype I had with the game. I’ll just stick with the first one tbh and wait till it’s on sale maybe.

Another problem with people buying the microtransactions is it incentivises the company to make the game worse, like by putting fast travel access or appearance editing later in the game (unless you pay of course).

I love how he's talking about this but playing one of the most buggy but one of the best games of all time

is this video equally as researched as the one against darkviperau?

I’m going to be totally totally honest with y’all .. I’m loving the game 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️lol idk maybe I got a special type of ps5 or my tv is just on some Marty Mcfly type energy but (knock on wood) it’s been great and the game itself is definitely 10/10

Remove "The" and "controversy" From the title The game is good on console but the issues people are having are mainly on Pc where it doesn't function and you have to troubleshoot an insane amount to get the game to work Not to mention to change characters or invite new pawns means you have to spend money on the game you already paid for

I was gonna get this game but heard about the micro transactions and decided I'm not gonna support a game like that especially for single player game

Lost any chance at GOTY once those 30fps and micro transactions scandals came rolling in

For being one of the larger parts of the gaming community, PC players seem to get shafted a lot.

Do you wanna know what’s really inexcusable? Not dumping a bunch of special stats into agility to be a gunslinger.

Where are these problems in so confused

What cooperate greed does to companies

I hope the ratings mix in steam scares capcom. I enjoyed the first dragons dogma and I hate to see the franchise ruined like this

This is the part where you don't buy the game.

My game is running great and on Pc there’s literal save manager programs. People are so terrible at being resourceful.

And this is why the gaming industry is the "most profitable entertainment industry." $70+ games where microtransactions and DLC are prioritized over optimization.

What's the big deal between 30 and 60 fps? I just don't get it. But I also don't care much for graphics and how things look. I look for a game that's fun, not just one that looks pretty. Ive played games on garbage laptops, at 20 fps, and still had a ton of fun, which is the point of a game, to have fun. So please someone explain to me why 60 fps is so important, cause to me, 30 or 60 looks the same
