Um… The RC dlc actively makes the game worse if nothing else (due to simplifying the economy with more rc than you’ll ever need) but the others aren’t really anything you can even notice in game.
The game made gameplay affecting design decisions around these micro transactions.
Name one, because I beat the whole ass game without even feeling the need to buy any of that easily acquirable in-game for no money stuff. Most of the stuff is for sale at the pawn guild, including the character redesigner. I got enough port crystals to basically cover everywhere I’d want to go regularly. I spent probably 500 RC over a playthrough that got over 10k.

So someone who paid money for stuff got very poor value for their money? Why even have it at all?

Because executives will want the profit margins going up regardless.
DMCV had the same irrelevant low value micro transactions that had no business being there. I feel like that’s his way (same director) of complying with demands for extended monetization.

It’s a trend. It’s quite literally clearly worthless garbage tacked on as MTX to satisfy some worthless suit, but as long as you don’t just buy a bunch of MTX before even playing a given game, you’d notice none of that shit needs to be bought.

The more I read, the more im coming to the conclusion the mtx are pointless trash for people to sink money into that has no real impact on the game. Like i just dont understand why people are in such a fit. Maybe if it were ten years ago sure, but companies have already saw they can make so much more money by simply giving a way for people to waste money. Shouldnt everyone be happy with a fun game, and encourage the more well off to fund the game through pointless shit that way theres more resources that can go into another fun game or exciting dlc.

If you don’t pay extra money for the special camping kit you can carry fewer items at all times due to weight.
I didn’t say you can’t deal with them making these negatively impacting gameplay decisions.
Just that they are gross.

The non-dlc elite camping kit, which is easy to get, weighs less than the DLC kit and lets you cook food for buffs, unlike the paid one. Also, you have 4 characters. Spread the weight around efficiently.

Ive defended the paid items that were acquirable in game, but i missed this onw. Is the paid camping kit just not in the game at all unless you buy it? Because if so that is definitely an issue.

Old buddy is lying because reasons. There’s better camping kits available in game that weigh less than the paid one and let you get buffs.
