Holy shit, micro transactions for fast travel? What the fuck

From a review:

The explorers camping kit is probably the most egregious of the "DLC"
So to explain, as you and your pawns battle you take damage, take enough damage and there is a portion of your HP you can't recover with magic or items. So you'll either have to go rest at an inn or find a bonfire to set up camp. To make camp you'll need the camping supplies item, the ones I have found so far are very heavy in weight, which means your party won't have much space for loot.
The explorers camping kit DLC will give you 1 camping supply and make the "explorers camping kit" available to purchase within the in-game shops, and it will be much lighter in weight than the normal camping supplies. Capcom have purposely made the experience far more tedious than it need be in their fully priced AAA game so we would spend the extra money on their quality of life DLC.

Fuck this game.

Spoilers: they won't.

Spoilers: they shouldn't. They actually reviewed the game and didn't circlejerk about one completely optional feature.

except the version of the game they reviewed allegedly didn't have the micro-transactions/paywalls

okamiueru ,

Did the review copies have the features you'd need to buy with microtransactions?

The MTX items are in game, the rumour that you can't fast travel and stuff blatantly false.

Capcom did some scummy shit, but the reason they(the press) didn't know is because even now post release the game makes no mention of them.

The limited travel, resurrections, and the currency for pawns were all in the first game and they all feel just as common in my experience.

So fuck Capcom, but the game does deserve the reviews it got imo. However, they also deserve all the backlash they are getting, because they intentionally kept it quiet. They knew players would be upset. It's gross.
