They have a dlc for fast travel, and you can’t delete and reset your game save to do a new character

Wait, what?

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Even more confusing, the character creator you could download before launch had save slots for five characters? But there aren't at least five save slots for the full game?

Absolutely baffling decision, hoping that a patch for it is coming soon.

It's not baffling; there's a microtransaction for the item that lets you redo your character.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but you don't need it, you can find an item in-game to do it like an hour in. The microtransactions all being pointless is kinda par-for-course in Capcom games, but not having multiple saved game functionality? I cannot even name another game released in the last decade without that feature, including the original Dragon's Dogma!

Maybe they will add save slots as DLC later...

GOOD.

Publisher deserves it for this bs.

There is a reason the things being microtran'd are silly too: to try and ease the player into the idea of these being normal and ok. Sure you can get itemX an hour into the game. This time.

Only legislation will stop this.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

People avoiding this shit could outnumber users ten-to-one and it wouldn't make any fucking difference so long as exploiting that audience makes more money than selling normally to everyone else.

The whole reason this problem's getting worse is that it squeezes very few people for a shitload of money. We were never going to shop our way out of it.

$3 to fast travel? $1 to REVIVE??? No wonder they didn’t have the mtx in review copies
