The game earned rave reviews from most critics, including a 9 out of 10 from us. But now that it\u2019s out in the wild, Steam players have bombarded the RPG with negative reviews due to its problematic launch performance and day-one microtransactions.Performance Issues AddressedIn terms of performance problems, Steam players have reported issues such as framerate drops, freezes, and crashes. Capcom has acknowledged these issues in a Steam blog post where it says, \u201cTo all those looking forward to this game, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience,\u201d and adds, \u201cWe are investigating\/fixing critical problems such as crashes and freezing. We will be addressing crashes and bug fixes starting from those with the highest priority in patches in the near future.\u201dCapcom further elaborated on the technical challenges, stating, \u201cA large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and calculating the impact of their physical presence in various areas. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate. We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future.\u201dImage: Capcom via PolygonMicrotransaction ConcernsThe game\u2019s microtransactions have also drawn criticism. In addition to selling Rift Crystals, the game\u2019s currency, fans are upset about the sale of useful exploration gear such as Portcrystals and the Art of Metamorphosis book, which allows players to redesign their character and revive items. These items are available for purchase in bundles, raising concerns among players about the game’s monetization strategy.Capcom addressed these complaints in the same blog post, pointing out that the mentioned items can be obtained through normal gameplay. However, players have expressed dissatisfaction with the inclusion of microtransactions in a full-priced game.Graphic: Polygon | Source images: Capcom via PolygonPlayer Backlash and Impact on ReviewsCombined with the aforementioned performance issues, disgruntled players have flooded the game with bad reviews, resulting in a \u201cMostly Negative\u201d Steam rating just hours after launch. Despite this initial chilly reception, it doesn\u2019t appear Capcom will be altering its monetization plans for now.Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Gaming","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gaming\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Capcom Addresses Dragon’s Dogma 2 PC Performance And Microtransaction Backlash","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gaming\/capcom-addresses-dragons-dogma-2-pc-performance-and-microtransaction-backlash\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
