Huzaifa from eXputer: "Dragon's Dogma 2 got panned on launch for a swath of microtransactions, but its real issues are more deep-dyed."
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.
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.
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!
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.
I was so hyped for this game as I thought the first one was better than Skyrim, but now I'll pick it up when it hits $9.99, or if ever.
The biggest issue that I have is that this game got higher review scores than Rise of the Ronin which is actually the much better game.
ROTR feels polished and finished while DD2 feels like a janky PS3 remaster, and the fact that ROTR got criticized for it's graphics which look way better that DD2 which was praised for it's graphics for some reason...
Crazy....
It's actually the only problem it has
i really dont understand people taking the word of sponsored game journalists. Play the game for yourself. The game is amazing. I hasnt sold almost 3 million copies for nothing, and as an average score of 85 on metacritic and 88 on open critic. The microtransactions are OPTIONAL. you can earn all that stuff IN GAME as you play. These articles are ridiculous.
I am having a friggin' blast with this game. The exploration, enemies, different abilities, it is fantastic. I haven't had any frame rate drops or crashes.
