Dragon's Dogma II - Capcom's Highest Concurrent User-Peak SP Game (Currently 173k) Beating out RE4make | Game releases with multiple microtransactions

[John Elden Ring]

Dragon's Dogma 2 has releases on Steam with negative reviews, over microtransactions and bad pc peformance, despite this, the game iss scoring nearly 200k simultaneous players

You cannot start a new save as well:

LMAO microtransactions in a fucking single player game? Capcom are out of their mind.

 

[Infinity]

reviews on steam are awful though.

 

[rinzler]

With those reviews there will be a mass exodus of refunds, sorry console bros but you're stuck with this junk.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Nice! Killing Ronin on console and Horizon on PC in one fell swoop. Well deseved!

Sony is following Xbox into the grave.

 

[Firefly]

Ronin vs DD2 who can fuck up their launch even more.

Extremely common with Capcom's games. Fortunately it has zero impact on the game. Negative reviews complaining you can pay $2 to buy an extra item you can get in the first hour of gameplay are just silly. Sure it's stupid, but don't pay? It genuinely doesn't impact anyone. E.g. these items from Resident Evil 4 remake.

They went on record saying that 70$ wasn't enough for games.

RE engine open world "game". The dumb pawn AI keeps repeating its 3 garbage chatter lines every 2 mins. The movement and climbing is janky too. They even have the emergent fetch quests of bringing potions to npc's from the original one as well

Imagine they increase game prices to $80

True, its just still mind boggling to me.

Yeah I think it's stupid but I just saw someone on Reddit say they bought it because they wanted to edit their character...
It's free money that doesn't impact people who don't pay.

Also worth reminding people that Helldivers also faced this initial negative response about microtransactions, anti-cheat, and so forth before going massively positive.

They'd probably still sell game items lol

They don't care. If even one single person buys a Phoenix Down for 0.99, it was worth it.

In the end Capcom always wins and Dragons Dogma will be a smashing success no matter what

Official statement from Capcom:

 

[reziel]

What's messed up is these items are used for are Riftstones currency used to rent other players pawns and Wakestones which are used to revive yourself or pawns if they die. These can be earned in game of course but Capcom is going the Ubisoft route right now.

Ignorance is a bliss.

another bad take.

Helldivers got negative reviews mostly only because of servers. when servers were okey, the reviews were positive.

second, Helldivers is an online gaas game. it is not SP game.

third, no one here would defend any of this shit if it was Playstation game, or if Helldivers was SP game.

 

[Systemshock2023]

Folks pissed Should refund and buy HZD or ghosts. No MTX better optimized and all in all better games.

But Capcom has to b kept on a tight leash, they always manage to screw it up so negative reviews are a good practice.

 

[Airbus]

Capcom finally have another bad game after the amazing last few years of residen evil village, remakes and the monster hunter world game
