      This is my philosophy with things. If something can be bought with real money in a single player game I’ve already paid for, I have no problems using mods or cheats to get the same things.

        I got Breath of the Wild on release and I paid for the DLC years later. Gotta say I’m happy with it. There is a correct way to experience Hyrule, and it’s on a motorcycle. No notes.

      And I’d say they are even worse in multiplayer games. MTX that affect how the game is played is just paying someone to make it easier for you to win, which is pathetic whether it’s a single player or multiplayer game.

      I would probably recommend not using these mods, or at least limiting their usage. The MTX subverted the design intent of the game. These could potentially make the game worse.

      (I haven’t played the game and can’t tell you if the game was designed worse for MTX, but everything I’ve seen and read indicates that it wasn’t and those were forced in as an afterthought.)

      There are no power ups in DD2, just mostly minor conveniences.

      Nothing against the mod creator, this just seems kinda pointless? Like, everything is already available in game. Unless you just want to remake your character a dozen times I can’t see any reason to take the time to download it.

        The classic problem of your character looking better in the creator than in-game?

          I mean, I certainly haven’t noticed that. Even if you don’t like your character, you can still easily buy the item in game. I’ve only been playing about 5 hours and can easily afford to change my character appearance 5 times over.

            I know because I played Dark Arisen, the point is that it’s made to trick uninformed people, we shouldn’t have to keep our guard up even on a full priced game.

              You’re a consumer in a capitalist society, you should absolutely have you guard up every single time you pull out your wallet. Why is this specific game any different?

                Don’t worry, I talked shit about RE4 and Monster Hunter character edit voucher too.

                  Well, I respect the consistency. I’m just glad they reeled it back after the shit with MH World. Having the character edit only available via outside purchase was fucked up, I was livid about that. It’s just hard for me to get worked up about this in comparison.
