I just find this funny. I was excited for DD2, but seeing the price, and the reviews, and the microtransactions, and the performance, and how they totally fucked it...I guess I'll just buy Peggle Deluxe for 1/70th of the price instead.

Who is your favorite Peggle character?

I love Capcom and DD2. I think the MTS complaints was overblown, just people (who are mostly Dragons Dogma bandwagoners) piling on a rocky game launch for clicks. DD:A and DMC5 also had similar MTS - somehow Capcom games always have such mandates. But in terms of Itsuno games like DDA, DD2, DMC4SE, DMC5, the MTS items can always be easily obtained in-game and the drop rates are not altered to encourage people to buy MTS. You just have to play game for a bit before you can change your appearance, similar to early Dark Souls (1,2,3) games. Having MTS items also legitimately ruined the progression curve, you wouldn't know what to do with so many rift crystals. Also only losers use wakestone to revive, you are supposed to learn from the encounter and approach it differently for different result. It is part of the game, and the game difficulty is fair. Everytime I die it is funny, and I never encountered a wall so frustrating I even consider using a wakestone.

The performance issues on the other hand, what were they thinking. I don't have the beefiest PC and my fps kinda struggling, especially in the cities. It is also CPU issues, not GPU, so it's not like I can play 480p and have smooth gameplay, it is so frustrating. I would probably drop the game and wait a couple months until hopefully they patch the performance issues.
