Nah but a coworker did it for free so all it cost us was the ink.

I know, but it feels like review bombing when you type one out on every platform you can find in a few hours in a fit of rage and disappointment. I feel swindled to such an extent that Capcom is now equal to EA in my mind. I had bought at least one Capcom game a year for the last three decades and now they won’t get another cent from me.

This is why my wife and I got matching tattoos. I have a tattoo of her butt on my butt and she has mine on hers. Its cute to us but big enough that it would be very off putting to others if either of us tried to cheat. It also cost pretty much nothing because she’s a tattoo artist.

I highly recommend anyone looking to marry to work with their partner to find your own personalized symbol. It will cost less and bring you closer together.

The game has been out for only a few days. Many of us are learning the hard way why its bad. Because as I stated above, if you take out the sleazy greed mechanics and add a few bug fixes, the game is perfect. I was around 20 hours in when I realized the stupidity with saves and the expansive greed. Up until then, I would’ve told you its easily 2024 GOTY. It looks good, runs well on my ps5, the combat is both fun and diverse, the map is huge with very little empty space, the story is well written, and the pawn system is a creative way of making you feel like you’re playing with others despite the game being single player.

Imagine if Baldurs Gate 3 was a free to play game rife with microtransactions, but it was built in such a way that it wasn’t obvious until the second act. That’s Dragons Dogma 2. Somewhere in that code is a real masterpiece of gaming, its just been killed by greed.

When loading the game you only get to choose between your last save which is constantly autosaved over and the autosave it takes when you use an inn. Using an inn is expensive and inferior to camping which gives major buffs and costs nothing. So basically you have to spend a decent portion of your game currency as the only way to have a reliable save point the game won’t randomly overwrite.

Only one character per account too so don’t even think about experimenting. Unless of course you don’t mind paying real money to stock up on items that undo the consequences of experimenting.

So this is why I began review bombing Dragons Dogma 2. I was doing a quest with an extremely unclear objective and I thought maybe killing a certain snarky NPC would progress it. So I carefully saved before attacking the npc. Killing the npc didn’t work so I tried to reload my file, only to find the game autosaved the second I killed the npc. The game only allows two saves, one you kinda control that gets autosaved over A LOT, and one from when you last rested in an inn. Resting at an inn is somewhat expensive and just worse than camping overall, so I hadn’t used an inn within the last 8 hours of play.

I distinctly got the vibe that it was designed that way on purpose. You can revive NPCs, but the item to do so is rare and limited unless you pay real money. A lot of the quests seem designed to encourage mistakes that will make you consider giving them more money in order to fix. Its like an MBA came by at the end and editted everything in game to make it as sleazy as possible. The saddest part is that if they took that aspect away and added some small bug fixes, it would legitimately be a 10/10 game.

They can tease all they want. They burned players bad with the first game and had a terrible attitude about it to boot. I doubt any of those issues will be fixed.

The saddest part is the idea and mechanics are amazing despite the poor execution. If they had a good attitude and listened to the devoted players who pay them, Temtem could blown up more than Palworld.

Yeah cause our streaming platforms are shit due to how our licensing works and greedy companies being stupid. If I want to watch Rick and Morty I have to sign up for Stack tv which costs over 20 bucks a month while being LOADED with forced ads during broadcasts and has such a tiny library there’s only one or two other shows I would even watch on the service.

Piracy is a service issue. I gladly pay for the few streaming services in my country that aren’t a steaming dumpster fire.

My update told me as much. OP’s likely did too. But it is usually a lot harder to manufacture outrage when you have a full picture and manufacturing outrage is the best way to get exposure on social media.
