Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I didn’t know we were only allowed to write reviews based on things critical to your progress. I didn’t know how many companions you have or what your character looks like weren’t critical. I bet if we searched even a little we’d find a RockPaperShotgun review of “non critical” game features.
What horseshit.
MTX have become normalized and it's fucking depressing to see. So many people defend their existence, truly a sad time for the industry.
From what I heard it costs $2 to change your characters appearance. I watched moist criticals video on it kept crashing.
You can get the items for free by finding them or pay barbers in the villages for it instead. Similar to the first game, the first one was just niche so didn’t have a huge crowd throwing fits instead of reading or even playing the game
It doesn’t. You can do it in game for free very easily. You really should not get all your opinions from YouTubers
"Of course they don't stop progress... you'll just be stuck grinding for way way longer with our patented unfun^tm^ systems unless you pay, ~~peasant~~ valued consumer"
You can walk from the start of the game at the beginning of the hallway, to the end of the game at the end of the hallway, entirely unobstructed by MTX!
The fact that the two-dozen doors on either side of the hallway, containing entire worlds of content, are locked has no negative impact on your ability to enjoy the game that was never marketed as a hallway simulator.
Sure, it's not perfect, but you don't have to focus on little details like a drama queen. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I love how in your example “perfect” is not having moneygrubbing microtransactions and the “good” compromise we’re supposed to accept is the microtransactions the chose to put in for no purpose other than money
I was being sarcastic right until the final period mark.
I would never say those phrases in any sort of seriousness, and I do not recommend that you support any type of MTX.
However I'm honoured that you recognize my mocking as an actual personality type that we all have to deal with. I thought maybe I had laid it on a bit too thick.
Oh no I ate the onion
These things happen. Take an antacid just to be safe.
