Capcom, the company that made Dragon’s Dogma 2, is asking fans for ideas about what new stuff they want in the game. They’re doing this because some people didn’t like that the game had things you could buy to make it easier, and they want to make it better. So this is like an olive branch for fans, and that’s pretty cool.

Anyone can take the survey and share their ideas for the upcoming DLC. They can also state how much they’d be willing to pay. As a bonus, participants will receive a free desktop wallpaper for their smartphone or PC after completing the survey.

The release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 sparked controversy due to the addition of paid microtransactions, allowing players to buy in-game resources and items. Some players felt that this undermined the core gameplay. Capcom responded by saying that these same resources can be obtained through regular gameplay. Despite this explanation, including microtransactions has led to a “mixed” user review rating on Steam.

Feedback from fans on platforms like Reddit shows a strong interest in future DLC, which focuses on enriching the endgame experience of Dragon’s Dogma 2. Players are asking for a longer and more challenging final area to explore, along with other suggestions.

  • Enhancing the interactions between pawns (the game’s AI companions).
  •  Introducing greater enemy variety.
  •  Adding the ability for players to personalize the properties they acquire throughout the game.

I think Capcom is doing the right thing and definitely doesn’t deserve review bombing. Capcom is directly asking its players for feedback, so they’re willing to listen to fan opinions on the future content of Dragon’s Dogma 2. It’s not clear yet how much the survey responses will impact the creation of upcoming DLC or if they can help the game improve from its initial reception and achieve more success in the long run. Still, the fact that they’re trying shows a lot of good in the company.
