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

        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.

      The released game doesn’t have paywalls either. I guess you’re incapable of understanding the issues you feel obliged to complain about.

      The items are included in the game I thought, the microtransactions are just one method to obtain them.

      The game didn’t change though. The items are still in game, have the same in game prices. Fundamentally it’s the same game.
