Dragon's Dogma 2 was met with critical praise on release but the presence of microtransactions has created backlash and outrage.
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, 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.
"When it comes to reviews, the vast majority of critics have integrity and place great importance on having objective opinions." If this is true then they don't know how to write reviews.
I was waiting forever for this game and they threw out an MT shop and Mr. Beast.
the outrage is ridiculous... RE4 had MTX, Monster Hunter had MTX on and on.. and those games were praised and highly reviewed. AND you can earn EVERYTHING on the Dragons Dogma 2 MTX list IN THE GAME or buy them from merchants with gold. People love to complain without knowing to full truth. Watch Fightincowboy's youtube vid.. he played over 100 hours and reviewed it and breaks down the insane, nonsensical complaints that arent even valid!

Okay admittedly I'm only 7h hours in, but so far I haven't felt like I'm missing out on anything without the MTX stuff. I mean sure if I was extremely lazy I might be tempted but the MTX currency is easily available in game already.
