It’s not really much of an argument, it’s just stating facts. I’m not for the microtransactions, I think it’s confusing that they would add such a thing at all, but they’ve consistently been doing it for all of their published games for nearly half a decade now. I’ve just chalked it up to a cultural difference since Capcom is an Eastern publisher, and on the sliding scale of scummy microtransactions it’s pretty close to the bottom.
This is a real valid issue. I’ve heard they finally put out a performance fix, but have not personally tried it out myself to confirm. It’s definitely the kinda game where you’ll need cutting edge tech to make it look beautiful, and it can look incredible, but that doesn’t excuse the abysmal performance on lower end hardware.
I mean, that’s just every Capcom release now. It has nothing to do with their confidence or anything, they just add pointless microtransactions because some suit at the company thinks it’s a good idea. It’s the same shit with Devil May Cry 5, all the recent Resident Evil games, literally everything they published. If that’s honestly the only thing keeping you from playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’re making a mistake.
I’m interested in knowing what your issues with it are. As someone who never played the first, I found it a pretty incredible and innovative RPG. Probably the biggest disappointment is just that I wish there were more monsters to fight, which I understand was a criticism of the first game until it’s Dark Arisen expansion.
Am I crazy? Didn’t they make this back when the show was popular? I have vivid memories of watching a live-action Ben 10 thing on CartoonNetwork back in the day.
no, but it’ll kill your career to joke about the assassination of a former president, because in this country we believe in double standards.
It’s probably just going to be the typical 40/40/20 split of Dem/Rep/Undecided.
Basically anything by Studio Trigger is worth watching for the animation alone, I think they’re one of the best I’ve seen recently.
I also think modern One Piece has some really incredible moments during the Wano arc.
The fact that there are any Americans who want to vote for somebody dumb enough to believe something wholeheartedly just because he saw it on TV is real rough.
Of course he doesn’t, it’s a miracle he’s smart enough to realize he can’t say he wants a Russian victory.
I’d say the bigger problem is just that the Bethesda RPG model is completely outdated. It feels like something you’d play a decade ago, but what used to be it’s contemporaries have absolutely eclipsed it by this point. If I wanted to play just a fun easy fantasy romp, I’d go for Dragon’s Dogma 2. If I wanted an actual RPG with bones that could offer me a challenge, I’d play Elden Ring. If I’m just looking for a well-written story, I’d go play something by CD Project Red.
Bethesda’s games aren’t well written, aren’t that interesting to play, and basically cannot offer any real challenge. The only real saving grace for Skyrim has been the modding community, which has been able to continually breathe life into what would otherwise be very tired game design.
Wasn’t really explained. My mom had a desktop computer in the 2000s though, and was happy enough to let me mess around on it. I think most of my learning was from videogame tutorials.
I am absolutely aware, growing up with access to the entire collective human experience is batshit insane. I’m glad that I mostly abstained from the social media craze, but just the sheer amount of noise the Internet generates can be overwhelming.
My mother was incredibly distant, and my father wasn’t around, so I had very, very few limiters on my internet access. I feel pretty strongly that this was a mistake, as being raised by the internet in the manner I was led to me really struggling to connect with people and empathize with them, vs just trying to exploit and scam strangers.
As for just general anecdotes…trying to even comprehend the world before the internet is really hard for me. It might as well be the Dark Ages, compared to what came after. Where I work was still using typewriters through the 90s, and only recently started using email in the 2010s, and it boggles my mind that people were able to do my job without a computer at all. It just seems like things would have been significantly more difficult.
I feel like as long as your country has one of our military bases in it, and the chances are unfortunately pretty high that you do, you’ve got about as much right to criticize the U.S. as anyone else. The U.S. falling to fascism would have global repercussions, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that you don’t have skin in the game too.
This is one of those great moments where everyone involved is shitty. What Aiden did was shitty, the abusive religious school that was attacked is shitty, what the Star is doing by releasing these manuscripts is shitty, and just the general state of Tennessee is pretty shitty.
The whole thing is just miserable and awful.
I think the record still goes to Amazon’s Crucible, which was cancelled before release after a closed-beta that nobody played.
One of my friends had this, she actually said it was pretty good. Like a focaccia with hummus on top. I’m still a little skeptical, but I’d give it a go
No, because temperature actually is a valid and reliable measure of heat. IQ tests are neither valid nor reliable. Most of their use has been co-opted by racists seeking to prove a point about minority groups. They are not a measure of intelligence, and should not be used as such. Broadly speaking, human intelligence is too vast and complex to be easily reduced to a three digit number.
Signed, an incredibly annoyed psychologist.
What’s preventing me, a private user, from just creating my own web browser? it’s a program like any other that just needs to be able to access each websites’ server and display its files right? You can’t tell me that nobody else has ever wanted to make their own alternative, so why do we never hear about them?
Really, really hoping this game does well for the team. I’m also hoping it has a smooth launch, because this is a game I’ll be supporting day one.
Their implementation of it just feels like they don’t actually want you to buy the microtransactions. In Dragon’s Dogma 2 for example, one of the most useful things you could buy is a Port Crystal, since it lets you setup a location to fast travel to and they’re reasonably rare to find. However, you can only buy one maximum, and you don’t really need them at all in the early game. By the time you would need one, you’ll have collected like 3-4, and getting an extra one would be honestly pointless. You would think that they’d change gameplay in some fashion to encourage you to spend money, but after finishing the game I had tons of all the stuff they were trying to sell.
