Both are great and "somewhat fresh".
BG3 is slightly better.

notachance64d ago

This is why I love non live-service games, they don’t have to fight for your time. You can easily play them in any order, whenever you want to and still got the full experience of every single one of them.
There’s no season or battlepass or daily quest BS that’s borderline manipulative to make you play as much as possible.

RhinoGamer8864d ago

How is BG3's console performance?

SeTTriP64d ago

Bad to say the lease but it's so great that you stomach it.i have almost 400hrs in it and their are game breaking bugs everywhere.

QuantumMechanic64d ago

I have to disagree. Save for some slowdown in Act 3, BG3 performs just fine on PS5.

anast64d ago

Yeah, you don't have almost 400 hrs.

GamerRN64d ago

It runs a solid 60 minus some act 3 stuff on Xbox, game runs just fine... Haven't had any bugs and thankfully I dodged whatever was causing the game save bug

thorstein64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Better than PC because controller. Walking about without pointing and clicking was so much better with a joystick. I know PC has controller support, but in the OG BG1 and BG2, point and click was such a staple of the gameplay that I loved playing that way (same with Icewind Dale I & II).
The radial menus are fantastic when you need to quickly grab stuff.
Inventory screens at launch were awful though. You could use them and they functioned wonderfully, but there was a ton of back and forth when there didn't need to be and they were decisively cumbersome.
But, otherwise there isn't any difference.

Barlos63d ago

Very good for the most part, apart from Act 3, when it stutters a fair bit. Doesn't detract too much though

MeteorPanda64d ago

Whats better, Vegetables or Fruits

MeteorPanda64d ago

Are you ignoring the vegetable heavyweight champion, the Potato?

DarXyde64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

MeteorPanda,

Potato is cool, but durian and pretty much any fruit from France are both God tier

RedDevils63d ago

Asian fruits beat all of it.

anast64d ago

So you are saying both games are awful?

thorstein64d ago

So you are saying you've never had bacon.

anast64d ago

I'm saying I don't like either one.

Flawlessmic64d ago

2 very different rpgs but after atleast 90hrs in bg3 and another 25 in dragons dogma 2, all I can say is both games are brillant in there own way.

SeTTriP64d ago

Bg3 is in my top 5 games of all time list haven't played dd2 yet but I agree two very different games and I'm 235hr of play not almost 400hrs like I said previously.

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.

Capcom kind of fumbled with this game.
This could have been GOTY 2024 but no.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Has Sold 3 Million Units In 2 Months

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.

isarai3d ago

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.

banger883d ago

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.

VincentCastle2d ago

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.

Nerdmaster3d ago

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.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

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

ravens523d ago

Just curious, does this count as successful?

jznrpg3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

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.

EternalTitan3d ago

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.

EternalTitan3d ago

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.

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Dirty_Lemons5d ago

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

dakarli1d 23h ago

This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.
