10 Video Games That Secretly Get Harder Without You Realising
8. Burning Money On Incremental Upgrades - Dragon's Dogma 2
What makes Dragons Dogma 2 so fun for a certain kind of gamer is how it will just sit back and watch as you absolutely destroy your playthrough.
Go on, run through a village full of story-important NPCs while suffering from a highly contagious deadly virus, I'm sure the neighbors won't mind!
This mindset surfaces in super small ways, as well, not just in accidentally genocide'ing an entire village on your way to the doctor. For instance, early on in the game, you might feel tempted to really spend your money on as many incremental upgrades as you can get your hands on. I mean, it's the correct decision in other games such as Borderlands and Destiny, why wouldn't it be the right move here?
Well, unlike many other games, Dragons Dogma 2 prioritizes player skill over big numbers. So if you try to cheese your way to victory by making your numbers go up, instead of learning the game's mechanics inside out, you've just screwed yourself. Now you're getting your ass kicked, AND you have no money. Nice going.
