If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don’t need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you’ll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.

I appreciate the reasoned response. Maybe by the end of the game the pay items don’t feel limited, but they did in the first 20 hours I played before returning it.

If I was disappointed solely at the sales compared to my dislike then you’re right to think its nonsense. What I’m disappointed in is a business I have loyally and regularly purchased from for over 30 years compromising their product and making it worse to try and fleece more money. I also worry deeply that the game selling well despite the flak means every major developer will find their own way to follow suit and refine the tactic until it becomes the norm.

I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

Sure if 20 hours in isn’t far. I was at Battahl when I returned the game

Didn’t know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don’t assume others are too.

It absolutely is. Wakestones are limited without microtransactions and there are plenty of poorly explained quests where one could easily kill something they shouldn’t. It happened to me. I even saved right before to try and be safe only for the game to autosave over the second the npc attacked me. The only save you have full control over is your second save tied to the inns, which are expensive and inferior to camping due to the buffs camping provides.

This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.

Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.

Yeah it could probably use a cunt at the end for maximum efficacy

I would love to see this happen, but only if the wall was built exclusively through the labour of the people who proposed it. The Canada-USA border is the largest unguarded land border on the planet for reasons beyond the goodwill between our nations. Features along it like the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains make building a wall impossible. Thankfully reality doesn’t matter to Republicans so they could be convinced to try.
