Capcom Faces Backlash Over Dragon’s Dogma 2 Microtransactions

Last week, the highly anticipated release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 received both critical acclaim and intense fan backlash. Despite the game being enjoyable for most players, it came with a controversial feature – microtransactions for in-game currency. Additionally, many players experienced technical issues upon launch.

Capcom Addresses Issues

Capcom recently shared its plans to update the game in the near future, reassuring players that improvements are on the way. One of the key areas the company highlighted is the enhancement of frame rates, which will be addressed in upcoming patches. While these quick fixes are promising, some players remain skeptical.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

Aside from bug fixes, Capcom is making significant quality-of-life enhancements to Dragon’s Dogma 2. For instance, the Pawn Guild now offers a wider variety of “Art of Metamorphosis” items, allowing players to change their character or pawn’s appearance after creation. This change provides more flexibility for players who wish to modify their characters’ look for role-playing or aesthetic purposes.

Another important improvement is the accessibility of housing in the game, which directly impacts gameplay. The ability to obtain a house earlier in the game will alleviate certain challenges, such as the gradual reduction of maximum health for not resting, and the retrieval of items obtained by pawns during adventures with other players.

Graphics Adjustments and Enhancements

Console players can look forward to graphics adjustment settings, although Capcom has stated that these changes may not significantly impact frame rates. Steam users, on the other hand, will benefit from improved quality when utilizing DLSS Super Resolution, along with fixes for low-quality models.
