Regardless of the technical state Resident Evil 4 is in (which is already patched after launch), the changes introduced in this remake over the 2005 original have been well received by the entire gaming community. players. However, the latest decision of Capcom It doesn’t see itself so favorably, as it introduces one of the features that fans in general appreciate the least: microtransactions.
Capcom released the Mercenaries DLC for free last week, which extends (and enhances) the Resident Evil 4 experience, but alongside this expansion a bunch of paid add-ons have also arrived on the Xbox, PlayStation and Digital Stores. PC with outfits, “luxury” weapons and the most controversial of all: Weapon Upgrade Tickets.
With these tickets (which are also divided into types ranging from A to F), weapons can be upgraded without having to collect materials or pesetas to pay the player. Buhonero, which also removes one of the most fun systems in the game and removes much of the playable challenge. Ticket prices range from 2,99€ for the individual of each class up to 9.99 euros in the case of the package of 5 weapon tickets (A). If you buy the 23 tickets availabletotal disbursement can reach up to €55.46.
Clearly sales come with the game (it has already sold over four million units), but introduce micropayments that detract from the core experience of the game (just surviving enough and upgrading the weapons we find, like the Red9) ) does not seem to us the best decision.
Will you be using these paid tickets to upgrade your weapons in the Resident Evil 4 Remake?
