I just find this funny. I was excited for DD2, but seeing the price, and the reviews, and the microtransactions, and the performance, and how they totally fucked it...I guess I'll just buy Peggle Deluxe for 1/70th of the price instead.
Who is your favorite Peggle character?
Denuvo killed any chance of me paying DD2. It's already insulting that a $70 singleplayer game is full of microtransactions on day 1, but don't spy on me unless I'm playing against other people and it's for the sole purpose of keeping it fair. Just on principle I'm pirating it the day it's cracked.
Buying new games is just bad practice nowadays imo. Premium prices for non-premium products packed with bullshit like denuvo. I'm sure Dragon's Dogma 2 is an amazing game, but it's likely not so amazing that one wouldn't be better off waiting a year or two.
It'll be great when I get the Complete Directors Cut Game Of The Decade edition with all of the DLC and pre order bonuses included for 19.99 in 2 years.

Not Peggle, but that little Peglin goblin looks p cute
I love Capcom and DD2. I think the MTS complaints was overblown, just people (who are mostly Dragons Dogma bandwagoners) piling on a rocky game launch for clicks. DD:A and DMC5 also had similar MTS - somehow Capcom games always have such mandates. But in terms of Itsuno games like DDA, DD2, DMC4SE, DMC5, the MTS items can always be easily obtained in-game and the drop rates are not altered to encourage people to buy MTS. You just have to play game for a bit before you can change your appearance, similar to early Dark Souls (1,2,3) games. Having MTS items also legitimately ruined the progression curve, you wouldn't know what to do with so many rift crystals. Also only losers use wakestone to revive, you are supposed to learn from the encounter and approach it differently for different result. It is part of the game, and the game difficulty is fair. Everytime I die it is funny, and I never encountered a wall so frustrating I even consider using a wakestone.
The performance issues on the other hand, what were they thinking. I don't have the beefiest PC and my fps kinda struggling, especially in the cities. It is also CPU issues, not GPU, so it's not like I can play 480p and have smooth gameplay, it is so frustrating. I would probably drop the game and wait a couple months until hopefully they patch the performance issues.
Also it looks like Peggle Nights is the better buy. More Pegging for the same price.
The owl wearing a turban. The unicorn is pretty chill too.
Buy Pacific Drive for $30. It's like STALKER but there's no mutants and you have a station wagon that is sort of alive.
I will add this to my next "check this out when it's half off" list, looks cool
It's dadcore af. You can literally spend hours just tinkering in the garage.
How does that part of the game compare to Jalopy? (assuming you've played that)
I haven't but the tinkering isn't super deep. The hours is mostly figuring out upgrades, outfitting, prepping for journeys and such. You can switch out panels, doors, tires, engine, and accessories (like extra battery/gas tank, resource scanner, etc.) Beyond that there's paint and decals you can apply by the panel. Here's mine right now.

It's probably comparable in complexity - Jalopy is all about keeping a Trabant running, and this is a dad game of a specifically sci-fi bent.
I enjoyed Hardspace: Shipbreaker a lot, so I figure I'll love this one when I eventually get to it lol
It's got some sick fucking tunes and gay scientists on the radio (ARDA's putting radio waves in the LIM technology that's turnin the friggin scientists gay
)
I can't vouch for it, because I'm waiting for it to leave early access, but as a fellow Peggle fan I thought I should make you aware of the game "Peglin". It appears to be an indie peggle with some roguelite stuff going on.
