This is all much to do about nothing. It’s all stuff you get in the deluxe addition and right underneath says - “Items in this set can also be purchased separately. Please be aware of duplicate purchases.” This sounds like people trying to find a problem where none exists.
The Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the add-on “A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack”.
A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack:
Explorer’s Camping Kit - Camping Gear
Dragon’s Dogma Music & Sound Collection - Custom Sounds
It’s the stuff that comes with the deluxe edition, only they let you buy each piece individually if you want, which I think is reasonable. This is all manufactured drama by some reviewer that got the game for free and didn’t read anything about it apparently. It’s right there on steam, not hidden in small print in a footnote or something. If people can’t read I think it says more about them than the devs.
It’s qol stuff that they sell for extra money. It doesn’t matter how obvious it is. The problem isn’t that it was hidden, the problem is that it exists.
There’s obviously not enough in game if there’s a need for the mtx. Even if the game is perfectly fine without, it’s still shitty to sell mtx in a single player full price game so… I’ll just wait for the crack.
I saw it as a way for people that didn’t want to shell out $10 for the next SKU up (Deluxe) to just buy the pieces they wanted. The items this guy was crying about not getting in his free copy should not have been labeled DLC though, as that clearly gives people a false sense of what they are. I have also read of several mods already that can dupe and add things into the game negating the need for a crack, unless you are looking to rid the DRM specifically.
It isn’t locked behind a paywall, it costs 500 RC which you can get by literally not playing the game and having your pawn get hired by somebody. You get a fuckton of it just by playing. I’m mad because of how not only is the mtx clearly done by higher ups rather than the devs but they’re utterly useless and only give people false impressions about the game, which was a passion project by the director.
Can your pawn get hired if you play this single player game offline? You don’t think that maybe the fact that they were going to sell rift crystals for real life money had any impact on how they balanced in game prices?
It’s the easiest way to get it but you can collect a lot of it simply through playing the game as well, you earn rift crystals after every fight and it starts to really pile up as you level considering the only thing it’s spent on is remaking your character and hiring pawns (in the first game at least, there may be more uses in the second)
I wish more people understood this. Everything they are complaining about can literally be bought in game with Rift Crystals. I’m already at 2000 RC just by playing the game and my pawn has only been hired once.
Missing a /s?
Maybe I’m missing the obvious sarcasm, but why in the hell does a deluxe versions exist? You done screwed up your game if the game play is so tedious I want to pay for in game credits (rift crystals) instead of earn them. Hey they put in time sucks so bad your going to want to pay to make them go away instead of play the game.
Why does any game have a deluxe addition? It usually includes more stuff up front. Did nobody read what they were paying for? It’s in plain English right on the store page.
Also seems like a bunch of people who didn’t even buy the game getting all fired up over some manufactured drama from a reviewer who didn’t read what he was getting for FREE. And now he’s all worked up because he didn’t get the deluxe addition for free and needs to pay $2.99 for the dumb camp kit or to buy a portcrystal or rift crystals or whatever.

Why does a single player game have mtx at all? I just don’t get the point of it.
To distract from the shitty anti-cheat they have installed.
That they put in, to force people to buy the MTX instead of modding the game.

You don’t have a problem with the game having purchasable fast travel and locking a character editor behind the pay wall?
