    There’s is no need for the microtransactions in the first place.

    They don’t help you at all other than the first dozen hours, and the way they would help you will ruin your game curve.

    The game isn’t designed around you having a portcrystal day one.

    Edit: The game is a power fantasy. The whole point is you start out weak as shit where three goblins own you and you grow to the point you are using a half dozen weapons you’ve become a master in to kill dragons in seconds.

    Buying more power at the beginning of that curve ruins the entire point of the game. This was CAPCOM execs saying “you need to put microtransactions in the game” and then the devs going “ok, how about this piece of junk over here players will have stacks of by endgame that could be a microtransaction.” And then the CAPCOM exec signing off who didn’t even play the game going “great, this will make shareholders happy.”

    The only thing that’s useful is the portcrystal, and you will max out the number you can even use in a NG+ playthrough.

    TLDR: Don’t buy the mtx and don’t use the mods either. These aren’t supposed to be part of your power curve in the game and were an afterthought that ruins the design if used.
