The most insane part to me still isn't necessarily the money-grubbing shit, because capcom has been doing that in basically every game they've made for a while now. It's sad to me that dragon's dogma is kind of, the outlet for getting shit on, with this, basically because the other games they put out have built-in fanbases and engagement that are gonna ignore the monetization. But maybe they also have more easily ignored monetization, and it's not as though dragon's dogma doesn't have a fanbase, even if the fanbase is much smaller than the others.

Anyways, the thing that really baffles me about this game is that it's not multiplayer. That seems like an obvious sell. Is there like, some idea there that they'd be cutting in on monster hunter's turf, or something? I dunno, the pawns just seem kinda annoying, and the game, overall, seems kind of mid. I haven't seen a large amount of it, in any case, but maybe it's just sort of, the monetization and denuvo is kind of the final and most prominent cherry on top of a dog shit sundae, and nobody's talking about the actual game itself being maybe more mid because of that. I dunno, though, I legitimately haven't seen much on this game outside of this.

They were thinking, "Look at what customers constantly put up with from Blizzard and Ubisoft. Our core gameplay is fun and people have FOMO, so let's be similarly shitty."

Capcom is back!

In all honesty, this might be the end of Dragons Dogma if they don't turn it around. The first game was a commercial flop even if it is a cult classic now, the MMO crashed and burned and now they ruined a good sequel for no reason.

I just don't see how execs will greenlight another one if this isn't a success.

This makes me afraid for Monster Hunter Wilds. That is my favorite series and the only game I still play online.

I love the first one, janky stuff but mostly great, so when i heard this game is being made, i was ecstatic about it until i learned the game is $70 with no localised price, at that moment i'm guessing the greedy capcom is really back, because their game used to be fairly priced up until MHW. And then this happened.

Money. They were thinking money.
