Did the review copies have the features you'd need to buy with microtransactions?

The MTX items are in game, the rumour that you can't fast travel and stuff blatantly false.

Capcom did some scummy shit, but the reason they(the press) didn't know is because even now post release the game makes no mention of them.

The limited travel, resurrections, and the currency for pawns were all in the first game and they all feel just as common in my experience.

So fuck Capcom, but the game does deserve the reviews it got imo. However, they also deserve all the backlash they are getting, because they intentionally kept it quiet. They knew players would be upset. It's gross.
