Dragon's Dogma 2 is a great bit of fun—a chaotic, sometimes overtly cruel action RPG with a great sense of physical humour and some really tactile combat. It also got absolutely hazed during its launch period back in 2024 thanks to some utterly baffling microtransactions.
As I personally covered back then, the entire thing was mostly optics. Yes, it was very silly for Capcom to put a bunch of these items up for sale as microtransactions; especially given they were easily available in-game from shops and the like. None of the amenities, such as wakestones, portcrystals, or camping kits, were particularly rare. You'd get 'em just by playing the thing.
