Is an uncapped 30 FPS a big deal?
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received a new title update that adds Frame Generation for NVIDIA RTX 40 series users (only). Unfortunately, the vast majority of gamers on RTX 30/RTX 20 and Radeon GPUs will have to keep waiting for an FSR 3 implementation of frame generation. There’s another tiny issue with the update.
Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom's latest JRPG, has reached a new sales milestone, rolling over 3 million copies in a span of two months.
Hands fown my game of the generation so far, definitely has some flaws and buggy quests, but damn is it good, and surprisingly flexible in how it allows creativity and different approaches to resolve quests and reacts accordingly.
I just picked this up for PS5. I'm going to hold off playing as long as I can though, in case they decide to add a new performance mode. I don't want to play this at 30 fps unless I absolutely have no other choice (PC isn't a choice for me). I have a dozen other games in my backlog so I'm good.
I have it on ps5 and pc and it plays as actually pretty well on PS5. The uncapped frame rates works best for the game then the newly added Max 30fps version.
The only town that gets the frame rates down between 25-35 ish is the first big city, but you won't be that much in it to be fair - I spent from 50 hours about 3 in the city and the rest exploring and the second main town which has better fps.
-on pc with my 3080 and 10700k CPU, the fps outside is better for sure as it can do stable 60fps... But it's the same or worst for the main city. I had fps between 20-50ish and the drops were really noticeable. But the same, most time was spent outside.
Really tried to like the first one, started it like 5 times, but it didn't click with me.
I'll try the sequel someday, but I'll wait for a good (like 50%) discount.
It will end up on PS+ extra someday.
It is good devs release the game first and release it months later on PS+ to give it a second life.
If it was on sub service day one it would have sold 300.000 Max
For a sequel to a niche game from the PS3 days I would think 3 million is very good. But I don’t know their sales expectations so I can’t say for sure.
I . . .dont know.
AAA companies are weird. It depends on their fiscal stuff.
I would guess its successful because the first game sold way less in the same time frame.
Knew the game had long legs. It had some disappointing issues like performance, dumb microtracsanctions at the beginning. There is a DLC coming. Wonder what that will add to the game.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂
Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there
So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.
@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂
I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future
Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success
Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.
I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.
Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.
I might wait to play this on the PS5 Pro
For those visuals, yes. It should be 4K/60 with a game that looks like it's from 2017 or earlier. More than enough games out I'll get it when the Pro is out.
Sadly PS5 does not have much headroom, if any, to brute force poor optimisation. If indeed thats what it is, bad optimisation, or perhaps the game is very CPU bound.
There are other games like Spiderman 2 and Forbidden West, which look better and run at 60fps, but I assume those games are more GPU bound.
Either that or its poor optimisation, and people shouldn’t have to be like “I will just wait for PS5 Pro” to make up for developer shortcomings.
From how the game looks on PC, the recommended requirements seem pretty high too, so seems like its just poor optimisation on the developers part.
Always give an option to lock the framerate, which looks like this game doesn’t have, which is baffling.
Sadly not all developers are on equal high footing when it comes to talent, effort levels, when it comes to optimisation.
Just hope this isn’t some sort of bad sign for the PC port.
Yes it's a deal breaker for me. I won't be buying this game until it's at least 50% off and i suggest others do the same. We need to shows devs releasing barely optimized games won't be tolerated.
Since it is uncapped, I may want to play it on PS5 Pro
